D4rw1n: I can't tell if the new shade is to the left or right on the tacky scale from the old shade. Of course the correct direction would be _more_ tackier 

b1-66er: There's no way 'pinker' can be wrong.

D4: If loving tacky pink paint is wrong, I don't want to be right

b1: Mas CasaNota de Gumby

Special K: I took this photo a few years ago. Google Photos thinks it's a church.

... and now there's Olivia all over EVERYTHING ...

Solid G: Olivia Newton-John dead. 

b1-66er: ¡BAD ONE!

SG: Her grandfather was the great physicist Max Born

b1: Of yeah, well her greatest performance was this one...

SG: It really is as if she's the new lead singer of ELO

b1: In my heart she will ALWAYS be the lead singer of ELO.

Sheridonian: I saw Xanadu in the theater with Kathy the night John Lennon was killed.
We got out of the theater and I dropped her off at her home. Then I went over to my friend Paul's house and we called our friend Bruce, who was going to school at the University of Nebraska. While we were on the phone with him, somebody told him that John Lennon was dead. Paul and I rushed to turn on the radio, and every station we turned to was playing Imagine. "That's not good,"we thought.

Suttonhoo: Yeah. Like I said: Disco was hard on my family 🤣
That guy looks so much like Andy Gibb! But he isn't 😞
Listening to the Grease soundtrack tho

D4rw1n: That is one of my first big pop-culture crushes dead. It hits you differently when they used to live on your bedroom wall

b1: I respect your loss...
... Now we are HERE.

Special K: When I was little, my brother told me Olivia Newton-John was married to Elton John. Of course I believed him.

D4rw1n: Haha great. 
Catherine Zeta Jones was married to Tom Jones
Margaret Bourke white was married to the Supreme Court Justice Byron 'Whizzer' White...
...Who was previously married to Lord Byron
Also it is a little-known fact that boxer Roberto Duran was father of Duran Duran
Julia Louis Dreyfus, wife of Captain Alfred Dreyfus (but not involved in the eponymous affair)
Alexandria Ocasio Cortez is married to noted conquistador Hernan Cortez
And in a weird naming twist, Paula Abdul was married to Kareem Abdul-Jabbar for a short time



Very little of <Xanadu> makes sense and the only reasons you should be watching it are for Gene Kelly, Olivia Newton-John, music by the Electric Light Orchestra, a couple of the musical numbers and to take a time travel trip back to 1980's SoCal.

As if you need any more reasons.>

Pyramidal Rationale

b1-66er: 1st sleep dream
I'm at some sort of an outdoor party in a park. 
A guy is being super aggressive so I take a long tubular sponge like object and shoot him with a projectile (maybe a bean?). It makes no sound.
Him. Belligerently. "I don't feel a thing!"
"You will." 
I shoot him again and two black spots slowly appear in his chest as he "bleeds." Very motor oil-like. 
He collapses on the curb, leaking a large puddle of black liquid.
I look at the brick work on the sidewalk and think, 'that'll be almost impossible to clean up.'

2nd
I'm sitting at a picnic table with The Accomplice and she has a plastic bottle of diet Pepsi sitting in front of her conical shaped-like a coffee filter. 
The brand label is floating IN the fluid.
"Those things are rare," I say.
She picks up the bottle. It's leaking slightly. 
I think, "that's why those things got recalled."

D4rw1n: You are a nightmare Syfy assassin with a keen eye for collectibles
And morally defensible in all states

The Dear Hunter: Hmmm. 
U might as well cancel Netflix.
