In a location adjacent to a place in a city of some significance, what comes out of my head is plastered on the walls of this blog.

Go fish.

Tuna is one of my favorite sandwiches. Clearly, the people at Pajiba share my feelings, as a recent article extolled them as the best of the basic sandwiches.

However, as often as not, I've only had them with mild accoutrements, like lettuce and the occasional piece of cheese. Reading through some of the comments, I've been eating these all wrong. Check out some of these variations:

@zoozoopedals - Tuna with sweet relish, a chopped egg, red onion, minced celery and a shit ton of mayo.

@megbon - I do half mayo and then mustard, some hard boiled egg and pickled relish.

@Sara_Tonin00 - I love tuna with lemon juice, capers, red onion or shallot and a lot of fresh parsley (fresh dill is also good). And good olive oil. And fresh cracked black pepper.

Sounds like I've got some homework (and shopping) to do.

As I'm sure I've mentioned before, it is astonishing how many movie theaters there used to be in my hometown. A lot of them, I have found, used to be one screen theaters, thanks to the website Cinema Treasures. Now this is how you make history come alive.

A chorus punchline.

If you've watched enough television, I'm sure you're familiar with how the songs on "WKRP in Cincinnati" perfectly matched the scenes for which they were tracked. Or that one bit in the "Road Worrier" episode of "Daria" that was a take-off of the REM video "Everybody Hurts". Sadly, the mood of both of these examples was marred by the replacement of less-expensive sound-alike music for the DVD releases.

And this isn't even exclusive to television. Apparently, Van Morrison's "Brown-Eyed Girl" is expensive as shit nowadays because, while watching Fatal Instinct on Hulu, I found that the scene that originally utilized the song - a take-off of the inexplicable 'dress-up' montage from Sleeping with the Enemy, and does the Blu-Ray of this movie even still have the song? - used a completely different tune. The scene is still amusing, but it loses something minus this vital component. Just weird.
