The Day Thread is The Worst

January 16, 2021January 16, 2021 Man-E Faces

Today’s Day Thread is dedicated to Shel Silverstein’s wonderful poem The Worst. You can read it here, but his delivery is so much better. So listen instead! It’s super-short! Have fun posting, and be sure to check behind you. Continue reading The Day Thread is The Worst

December 30, 2019December 30, 2019 Man-E Faces

This is pretty easy. Similar to my wildly successful “Upvote a Movie Quote” Thread, just pick a movie line, and throw “bork” in there! “May the Bork be with you.” “The name’s Bork. James Bork.” Etc. Have fun, and keep … Continue reading Bork a Movie Quote!

The Day Thread Liberates Barbie

March 21, 2019March 20, 2019 Man-E Faces

Today’s thread is dedicated to one of the greatest guerilla consciousness-raising exploits of all time. In 1992, Mattel pissed off a lot of people with the release of “Teen Talk Barbie.” Barbie’s never been a great role model anyway, but … Continue reading The Day Thread Liberates Barbie

March 16, 2019March 16, 2019 Man-E Faces

Happy March 16! One guy who didn’t have one was legendary director Frank Capra, the man behind such great films as Mr. Smith Goes to Washington and It’s a Wonderful Life (JOEY). On this day in 1934, poor Frank suffered … Continue reading The Night Thread Uses Last Names

The Night Thread Is Holding Perfectly Still

February 12, 2019February 12, 2019 Man-E Faces

Bear with me, it’s the last Leslie Nielsen-related thread (for now). The Day Thread sang the praises of Police Squad‘s opening credits, and the merits of murdering William Shatner. And that’s all great, but Police Squad‘s closing credits are even … Continue reading The Night Thread Is Holding Perfectly Still

The Day Thread Killed Its Guest Stars

February 12, 2019February 12, 2019 Man-E Faces

Recently, another Avocado asked the question about TV show credits you never skip. Somehow, I forgot about the brilliant credits of the short-lived comedy starring yesterday’s birthday boy Leslie Nielsen: Police Squad! For a show that lasted only six episodes, … Continue reading The Day Thread Killed Its Guest Stars

Today is the birthday of Canadian (his dad was a Mountie!) philanthropist, actor, wisher of good luck, and guy who is counting on you, Leslie Nielsen. His film acting debut came in the 1956 thriller Ransom! (which was remade with … Continue reading Surely it’s the Leslie Nielsen Night Thread

The Day Thread of Sloth and Pandemonium

January 30, 2019January 29, 2019 Man-E Faces

Today is a depressing day history-wise (Gandhi’s assassination, The Beatles’ last public performance, Dick Cheney’s birthday) so instead I am sharing some of my favourite bits of trivia: collective nouns for animal groups! Delightful examples include A shrewdness of apes … Continue reading The Day Thread of Sloth and Pandemonium
