Oh gawd, polgara, this totally reminds me of my youth, before having a driver's license, of riding my bicycle to the local bowling alley, and spending all of my hard earned quarters, from mowing yards, on the damned pinball machines!

Yeah, my older sister had that song on a compilation album that we would listen to a lot. The song I'm about to post was on it too so in my head they go together even though the group that recorded it isn't a one hit wonder.

"Never go in against a Sicilian when death is on the line!"

Wow. Been so long, I totally forgot about this one. Considering the two songs you mentioned, I'd love to hear that compilation album.

Star Wars didn't change my life, but the special effects gave me A New Hope!

Over the years I've seen and heard comments from people who didn't like this song. I've never understood why. And you've beaten me to the punch many times. We're much alike in our music tastes. Now if you weren't a city slicker who lives 1000 miles away, I might would ask you out to dinner.

	"Sooner or later, humans will kill all the Aen Seidhe. All dwarves and gnomes. Then they'll start murdering one another. Your kind knows no other way. It's in your genes. You keep killing each other until only one remains. The strongest among you. A thousand years from now, a dim-witted human barbarian will climb to the top of a pile of bones, sit down and proclaim: "I win"."

IMO, it's not a good fit for that but fits in here quite nicely.

Jemma Simmons: I will say that is one thing that Agatha All Along got right. They did a phenomenal job of planting hints throughout but it not really being obvious until the end. Reminded me of WandaVision that way. Nov 10, 2024 23:03:26 GMT

Jemma Simmons: And yes, I think AoS did such a fantastic job at character/world building. I know that was one of the complaints about Season 1. Nov 10, 2024 23:04:32 GMT

ayanami: Yeah, I wish they'd managed to throw in some Avengers cameos along the way. You know, to keep audience numbers high until the story really took off.
