Happy news:
I proposed yesterday. The woman of my dreams said yes. I'd say it was a good day.

hahaha, lovely, Beck. There's a Cosby Show one, too, ya know.
I can't see the Goonies being all that effective. Remember Chunk, and that mutant-looking dude? Hey you guyyyyyys!
haha, ok, maybe it WOULD be good.
Matt: agreed, definitely annoying. I've never noticed other Canadian comics using eh like that, but I can't say that I watch a whole lot of stand-up, sorry.

OMG OMG OMG!
Did you hear?!?
Best news I've had all day, bar none!
One of the best movies of the 80's, The Breakfast Club, has been remade and somehow looks better than the original.
I'm personally holding out for the Goonies remake.

Alison, re: "eh",
I don't actually think he was intentionally trying to say "eh" a bunch of times, it's just become part of the rythym for a lot of Canadian comics to throw it in as an accent, or prompt to laugh. He doesn't actually talk that way in real life. It was just something I noticed as bizarre and unique, not to mention annoying.

I don't watch TV either, I just use torrent sites (not mentioning which one so the US state department doesn't take it down) plus I'm sure there are a lot of cultural references that we won't get if you brought something up, and vice versa. You just happen to hit a concentration of Whovians. Just to make everyone feel better I'll throw down something:
This combines my love of mecha (which apparently none of you get, it's fine, it's fine), transformers and the most badass Chinese general to ever walk this Earth.
Now everyone is on the same page of confusion.

Thanks Albert! Not having a TV (or a life, ha!) has removed me from 80% of the current cultural references.
