Q:
How many individual downloads has the Cornslaw Industries archive.org account received to date?

Since it is the Monday following a “funny” SNL skit, I figure I’ll follow the general cultural suit and use a YouTube video of it to test embedding with WordPress. Except, NBC Universal removes all their material from YouTube (remind me sometime to share the story of why my YouTube account name is “cornslawindustries2″ and what happened to my “original” account), so here is one of their videos:

… and apparently it won’t work. How about this?

We just enjoyed a viewing of MY TUTOR from 1983 from the SCHOOL DAZED DVD collection of forgettable films–not to be confused with the early Spike Lee Joint.
On would think the early appearance of Crispin Glover is enough of a seller, but standouts also include:

There is also an additional subplot worth noting: the Chrysals’ domestic help pretend to speak no English in the presence of their employers, but eloquently discuss the merits of a Stanford education with no accent when alone.

I read something recently in which someone suggested that, like her much mediated daughter, Sarah Palin was also marriage by  shotgun. In other words, Sarah Palin also engaged in premarital sex (something she is purportedly against) forcing her and high school sweetheart, Todd, to elope.

Not sure where the wedding occurred. In a “house of god?” Vegas?

Here is the math:

April 20, 1989 - Track Palin born (though there is some confusion over this)

August 29, 1988 - Sarah and Todd Palin elope

July 20, 1988 - Nine months prior to Track Palin’s birth

I love any point in time when a Genesis song becomes a relevant commentary.

Genesis - Jesus, He Knows Me
