- Elaine,
-
- Sometimes the flames here are so good and entertaining that I feel like
- I'm watching an Ernie Kovacs show...though, with what's-his-face posting
- (the guy in my kill file), it's been more like a really dumb version of
- Roseanne; as if they added a senile grandfather who spoke only in
- Lithuanian and then had the whole show revolve around him. I'm cautiously
- optimistic, though, that things are improving.
-
- AntiPeeve: Watching Roseanne for the first time recently and finding that
- it's actually pretty funny. It aint a dumb Married With Children variant,
- it's quite entertaining.
-
- AntiPeeve: Some good movies are now coming out: "Dracula" looks like it
- has promise and I'm dying to see if "X" is as good as Malcolm X's auto-
- biography was.
-
- ObPeeve: A friend had his car stolen in San Francisco, last weekend.
-
- MegaAntiPeeve: He wasn't in it at the time.
-
- ObWish: Sarah Brady's head on a pike.
