"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

On the other hand--oh god, the hair, my god, the hair. What is up with that?

Right, people think of Big Hair as a purely eighties phenomenon, but it probably peaked (so to speak) in the early nineties.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

However, the threat of a Grey's Anatomy musical ep. is terrifying.

Is it less terrifying when you know that Sara Ramirez is a Tony award winner for a musical, and apparently doing much of the singing?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Bad singing is not what I worry about when I think that idea can go south.

I know this is a self-centered view, but I'm pretty sure it's true that the 90s didn't really start until Nevermind came out in the fall of 91. It's self-centered because I was in high school, curling my bangs and wearing tight jeans, until mid-91, and by Christmas I was in college wearing flannel with flat hair.

Oh, of course. What I've heard about the concept makes me think it could be fine.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

SPOCK BLOCKED! My new favorite thing!

Also, I now have "I'll Never Tell" in my head too. It's by far the most earwormy song from that ep.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"

She loves these skeezy cheeses I just can't abide

I also love the term Spock blocked. And Simon & Nick are adorkable. They really need to work with Ben Browder on something. Or Nathan Fillion.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."

I thought it was that I can't describe

Simon and Nick did Top Gear and were hilarious.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

My issue with the mall hair is NOT the bigness, it's the untamed frizziness of it all. Plus the hand cropped t-shirts. That never was going to be a good look.
