… in 1992, as Riot Grrrl reached its mainstream media peak (and the group decided to shun the media because of its predatory distortions), Disney contacted them, interested in making a cartoon called Riot Grrrl. There has to be a German word for being simultaneously disgusted yet sad that that same something didn't happen.

That's the thing—my mind went into overdrive thinking about what could be done with a RG cartoon. Somewhere between the Monkees and Scooby Doo. "And we would have shut down this Planned Parenthood clinic if not for those meddling Riot Grrrls!" Cut to an animated Bratmobile playing "Fuck Yr Fans."

… that it was North American indigenous people, not French Canadians, who first made maple syrup from maple tree sap.

Okay, I didn't learn this, but a grad student did in a class that the Boss is teaching. Imagine being in your 20s, educated, and living in maple syrup country and not knowing something like that. I think the Boss wants to start drinking at school.

Less learned in that case than confirmed.

… that Priscilla Barnes, the last of the blonde roommates on Three's Company, was a Penthouse Pet in the 1970s. Also, they sure loved soft-focus photography back then.

I've seen her tits in a few movies, Tintorera (1977), in fact she was sitting directly in front of me at the screening. Then again in Devil's Rejects (2005), I just watched thata few days ago.

I think she may have been my least favorite. I wasn't a big Suzanne Sommers fan either. My teen hormones raged for Joyce DeWitt.

I know I watched the show at the time, but I remember so little of it besides Norman Fell grinning at the camera and Don Knotts' lemur eyes.

I associate that with Charlie's Angels. “This week, Angels, you're going undercover at a trampoline and hot pants factory.”
