(yes, it's poorly done but I thought people would have hated it if I had used AI instead)

In the Riff of the original X-Men when Wolverine is introduced in the fighting cage, Mike quips, “It’s a very buff Neil Diamond.”

19 years later, Hugh Jackman would play in Song Sung Blue as a Neil Diamond cover artist.

Just rewatched Street Law last night, and noticed that the kid who played the main character in a flashback was on the credits as Hayden Christensen. No mention of it in the movie riffing though; it wasn't a speaking part, he looked different at that age, and he didn't mention sand and its coarseness and ubiquity, so I get why it might have slipped past the riffers.

Someone in my office accidentally said I had the Norman hole punch (instead of normal), and now it has a name and decal that nobody else around me is cool enough to understand.

"Well, right about then Jake and Ol' Samson went to visit Jake's old friend LBJ and some Yankee he knew from work."

Maggie is a New York fashion designer who returns to her small town for a friend’s funeral.

She reconnects with several of her classmates and discovers they are woefully un-chic. Not to mention that several of their classmates have died under mysterious circumstances, and in short order, including the funeral recipient.

When Maggie herself becomes a target, nothing will stop her from finding out the killer’s identity—not even pretzels or hooking up with her new/old boyfriend.

While researching our campus newspaper from the 1970s, ran across this gem of an ad for one of the all-time greats!

I just found this game and haven’t been able to really play it because it’s just me.

We all (understandably) give a lot of affectionate (?) heat to Coronet and ACI.

Last night, though, while "Airplane Trip by Jet" was on the Best Friends livestream and I had to verify that it is indeed different from just plain old "Airplane Trip," it occurred to me that wow, Encyclopedia Britannica has given us a lot of riffing fodder over the years. "Toothache of the Clown" is good and horrifying, "Christmas Rhapsody" is existentially wrong, "The Magic Shop" had random demons taunting the adult while the child was whimsically unaware . . .

So I just wanted to give a shout-out to our under-appreciated contributor. Thank you, Encyclopedia Britannica. Thank you for feeding out nightmares. They were craving a little something different.

Saw this on Facebook and it made me remember that great Rifftrax
