It’s a bumper issue of Et Al., featuring everyone from Laurence Olivier to Chuck Norris, and from Bette Davis to Melody Anderson; but all the star-power in the world means nothing compared to the fact that at the last, Lyz is driven to – ulp! – defend the Odious Comic Relief….

I will probably be shamed for this, but here goes…
“Boroff,” I get why that’s cute. But “Carfax” I do not. Enlighten me, please, Ms. Kingsley?

The idea of Robert Mitchum as sales clerk amuses me to no end.

Yes, thanks, Keith. SOS Coast Guard was made during the thirties horror ban, when both Boris and Bela were forced to look elsewhere for work. “Boroff” certainly suggests they had Boris in mind to start with; but then “Carfax” suggests they were content with who they got.

Now look buddy, are you gonna buy this Lionel train set or not?
He was a hard drinkin’, hard fightin’, hard lovin’ son of a gun, but the thing he loved most was the twinkle in a kid’s eye when he sold them a Radio Flyer wagon.

A small child, caught shop-lifting: I didn’t know what I was doing. I, I didn’t know anything except how much I wanted it. But I didn’t take anything. I didn’t, Jeff. Don’t you believe me?
Steve Mason: Baby, I don’t care.

Did you realize that The Girl Of The Golden West was also an opera by Puccini?

That much, yes, but I have no idea how much of Puccini was left after J&N got through with him.
