Welcome to "Tom Boyle's Name Dropping with Tom Boyle, by Tom Boyle!"

I have an uncanny and impractical memory for pop culture. My mind is basically a pop culture centrifuge, with movie quotes, song lyrics and who's who bouncing around like quarks in the ether. This column is designed to include all of the extra "knowledge" without disrupting the flow of any given rant. There are references and cross references included at the bottom of each article in a section called "tombopedia" to help you understand what I think is so funny.
