Having an Average Weekend

Just minding my own business yesterday, dicking around on Twitter when I should have been working, and what to my wandering eyes should appear, but news that The Kids in the Hall were trending.

For those of us of a certain age, the Kids were a blast of insanity that spanned our college years, incandescent in their gender- and genre-bending comedy, in the pantheon with The State and The Young Ones among shows at the same time weird as hell and subversively normal.

The Twitter trend was telling us that the Kids are coming back. Ten years after a one-off special, the original cast of Canadian comics returns via Amazon for an eight-episode run.

I, for one, will be making a pitcher of Sex on the Beach and hunkering down to binge.
