Many of our readers will be aware of my long-ago addiction to General Hospital. I failed a college class because of the Cruise of Deception for chrissakes.
That addiction, fortunately for my career and marriage, ended long ago. I haven't seen a daytime soap in decades. But now, news comes from Port Arthur that changes everything.
There's a mysterious new character in town, a dashing, debonair international man of mystery. Friends, I give you...Z. (Not that one.)
For a bit more context regarding this glorious crossing of streams, I commend to you this explainer from Brian Grubb. Oh to be living John Oliver's life.
This is wonderful in countless ways. The blog post, too.

ReplyDeleteDave is on a brevity kick, based on his blog output lately. And yet it’s a bit of bullshit because that guy fucking talks all the time.

ReplyDeleteAnd iron. Unless you’re Evonne Goolagong. At least according to the Geritol commercials.
