Remember Thomas Dolby?
He’s actually still around, but he never really caught on in the U.S. like he did in his native U.K. And not that he was a monster artist over there, but he had much more chart success on his home turf. He only had one big hit in the U.S.
This is not that hit.
So, what’s been on your mind? Got something you’d like to share? It’s Thursday Night Open Thread.
Who wants to start?

#JollyAstoundingShoePleaseThx
Speaking of bees, I was thinking about your comment earlier today about board games not being diverse enough. So I checked my Talisman game and you were right! 14 playable characters and only 4 werent human!
It’s time for a strongly-worded letter.
Let the gaming world be a Biodiversity On A Hill!

Karaoke Assault: Daddy, I want a squirrel. Get me one of those squirrels. I want one!
Media Assault: Karaoke, dear, you have many marvelous pets.
Karaoke Assault: All I see on TV are one phony and two dogs and four cats and six bunny rabbits and two parakeets and three canaries and a green parrot and a turtle, and a silly old hamster! I WANT a SQUIRREL!
Media Assault: All right, pet. Daddy will get you a squirrel just as soon as he possibly can.
Karaoke Assault: But I don’t want any old squirrel! I want a trained squirrel!!
Media Assault: [wearily] Very well. Mr. Worker; how much will you give for one of those squirrels? Name your price.
[Karaoke smiles]
Wily Worker: Oh they’re not for sale. She can’t have one.
Karaoke Assault: [her smile drops to an angry expression] Daddy!
Wily Worker: [imitating Media Assault] “I’m sorry, darling. Mr. Worker’s being unreasonable.”
Karaoke Assault: If you won’t get me a squirrel, I’ll get one myself!
—Wily Worker and the Chalk-‘Em-Up Factory
Did they live happily ever after??
Well, you know, it’s a fabulist’s tale — I mean, fabulous …
A kind of obscure Beatles song, off of Beatles VI:
♩♫♪
If you let me take your part
I will prove to you
We will make another start
If I’m part of you
Oprah. Up your sights, now
Tell me what you see:
It is no surprise now —
MSNBC!
Big and black those clowns may be
Time will pass that by;
If you put your trust in media
We’ll make bright your day!
Look into these lies, now
Tell me what you see
Don’t you realize now
You can be P.C.
Tell me what, Jussie
[Chicago P.D.:]
Listen to me one more time, how can I get truth?
Can’t you try to see that crime’s
Tracing back to you?
Open up your eyes, now
Tell me, NBC:
It is no surprise now
What you see is weak
Tell me what, Jussie
[Feds:]
Listen to me one more time, how can I get truth?
Can’t you try to see that crime
Tracing back to you?
Open up your eyes, now
Tell me, NBC
It is no surprise now
What you see is meek
Tell me:
“What Jussie?”
♩♫♪
For those that don’t know the song

Comedy, at least to me:
JUSSIE SMOLLETT- ‘I SWEAR TO GOD, I DID NOT DO THIS’
Pleads to ‘Empire’ Cast
TMZ | 1-21-2019
Jussie Smollett is begging his “Empire” family to believe he’s innocent and continue supporting him — even as the drama of his arrest postponed a scene Thursday in Chicago.
Sources on the “Empire” set tell us the cast and crew were waiting at least 30 minutes for Jussie to begin the scheduled scene.
When he eventually showed his face he was very emotional, and surrounded by his family.
We’re told he addressed everyone on set, saying …”I’m sorry I’ve put you all through this and not answered any calls. I wanted to say I’m sorry and, you know me, I would never do this to any of you, you are my family. I swear to God, I did not do this.”
After that, he left the set.
We’re told it was obvious Jussie had been crying a lot, so producers said he would have to come back later.
He did, and we’re told he is currently shooting the scene.
Heh. The Outlaw Jussie Wails.
You win
extra helping ~~~
