How timely, I just re-watched this (for the first time as an adult) last week, and was a little aghast at how fast sharing a joint turned into kidnapping & attempted murder!
I think you had a typo – I assume that by “aghast” you meant delighted
Oh, of course, mb.
Yes. Someone write all of these now please.
The Franzen burn was especially delicious.
This seems like an appropriate place to lament that at this point in time I have yet to find a mashup of 9 to 5 and Beyonce’s Ghost/haunted and I fear that the internet has lost its priorities.
all of thes were good, but the last four especially are AMAZING
Well done!
Franzen! Bondage! I die.
Ohhh – my soul, on the way to another realm, has just snagged on the idea of Franzen, in bondage.
I live again!
Best comment ever IMO 🙂
THIS IS THE REASON THE INTERNET EXISTS. Thank you a thousand times.
I would read every single one of these and love them all regardless of topic. Every. Single. One.
This is the most perfect of things except that any equivalence between either Doralee or Miss Dolly and Sarah Palin would hurt my soul, and I would probably yell about that thinkpiece even more than the Franzen one.

Should I Try To Be More Like Dolly Parton In General?
I feel like maybe the answer for most people should probably be yes.
As Kristin Chenoweth say, “WW Double D” (What Would Dolly Do?
It seems like every time I watch a movie from before I was born, there ends up being a Toast article about it within a week. It happened with Gidgit. It’s happening with 9 to 5. WHAT A DELIGHTFUL UNIVERSE!
Mine was Holy Shit, Nobody Has Computers, What Does Everyone Do All Day?
My reaction was “Do they really put a cover on their typewriter before leaving the office every night?”
Stopping by to note that seeing Dolly Parton in a button down oxford is a fond memory I carry with me to this very day.
