And if you're an American band, go on American Bandstan.
RIP, Dorian Clark. You outlived my mother-in-law by one day. RIP her, too.
FWIW, I <i>liked</i> my MIL a lot; and I developed some late-breaking respect for Dick as I occasionally watched him soldier on through the stroke. Who&#039;d have thought that being a total attention whore would eventually become a kind of engaging personality attribute?
I don&#039;t know if we ever were allowed back in after Karimov expelled our troops because Bushie had the temerity to suggest that maybe boiling people to death isn&#039;t something we want our &quot;allies&quot; to be doing.
I&#039;ve done a number of USO tours, and the year before last I went to Uzbekistan, which has an air force base right above Afghanistan. So I run into these PSY-OPs guys and I ask them, &quot;Tell me about the Uzbeki regime here,&quot; and they go, &quot;Oh, it&#039;s great.&quot; And I said, &quot;Aren&#039;t they the most repressive regime in the former Soviet Republic?&quot; And they said, &quot;Oh, yeah, yeah, they&#039;re horrible. They boil people.&quot; And on the show, I said they boil dissidents in oil. It turned out they just boil &#039;em in water.
Unfortunately, I could not, within my normal 300-second limit, find a translator that could render &quot;Oh, for fuck&#039;s sake&quot;. So I am speechless.

Apparently, all y&#039;all were smart enough not to glance at the comments. Quoting LL, &quot;Mech&quot;.
Isn&#039;t that an old Rosemary Clooney song?
Karimova my housa c&#039;mon, Karimova my housa c&#039;mon, Karimova my housa c&#039;mon, ima gonna give you candy.
No, Valerie never had that disdainful &quot;you on the other side of the lens are shit&quot; look.
Along with the little kid from Identity.
Oh, that <i>was</i> good.
You wanna bring back Vaudeville, you got to be ready to use <i>all</i> your body parts.

Although (h/t to Wookies) &quot;Forced Sterilization for the Race&quot; has possibilities.
Oh c&#039;mon, you commie. We&#039;re not the <i>only</i> ones. This is not an example of American Exceptionalism.
At least not since &quot;One Day at a Time&quot; ended.
Wouldn&#039;t Juan becoming dick-tater be sort of a pre-req?
OT but fuck all.

See you in the shadows, Phil.
Except she&#039;s still breathing.
