Happy 25th anniversary of Van Halen's FOR UNLAWFUL CARNAL KNOWLEDGE.

(I had to delete two items to make this hit the 50-option mark, so I nixed "Right now a tired man with a wounded heart is sitting in a coach seat on an eastbound transatlantic flight looking out the window wondering how to say "dog" "howl" and "moon" in French just in case it comes up" because it was too long for the poll and combined the two M-5 cards.)

Right now, science is building a better tomato.

is this a matter-of-fact statement about plant breeding or a rant about scientists devoting all their energy to useless consumer products/foods when they should be curing AIDS and putting a man on Mars? gonna share some of these freeze-frames on facebook, they're pretty deep.

I kind of like the semi-clueless failed social commentary of "right now blacks and whites don't eat together very much."

This video was a total piece of smug shit. God the 90s were awful.

I bet each band member could contribute whatever he wanted (Cabo reference obviously Sammy) and the rest was padded out by a literary type
