John Goodman makes the best RexTillerson:

Terrific article, but it suffers horribly for lack of full disclosure. All it needed was something like “‘Maddie Stone’ is the author’s human name. She is a full-blooded Earth Elemental, and has written extensively for Gnomenclature and other Terran-language publications under her birth name, <3 second sound of grani…

Blast Thickchest!

I hate that stupid space turtle.

Irvine Meadows Amphitheater, just like you! And if you were a SoCal local, I bet you saw Oingo Boingo there, possibly a couple-few times... Irvine was always good for a Boingo Halloween show, occasionally with their original horn section.

Great festival, with best jerk chicken I’ve ever tasted to this day.  Favorite moments:

There is just something about McCollum’s 2018 tweet, “Im trying Jennifer,” that conveys such honest, weary, determined perseverance.

Great jumping Jehosephat, you’re right!  SFX trickery or not, that is crazy f’n cool.

Mr. Burneko, your views on a few issues—say, the order of desirability of Democratic presidential candidates—differ radically from my own. Normally, this wouldn’t be worth mentioning, except that the vexation it causes me is escalated from a manageable 3 on the Annoyance Scale, up to an eye-twitching 7 or 7.5,…

They may not have been exclusively for the culture, but any story touching on T.I. As a legit mensch really ought to at least touch on the fact that he’s talked suicidal jumpers off of ledges...twice.* Pulling a driver out of her flipped-over car, as is mentioned at the link, is just icing on the cake.

See, that’s the problem— You did more or less release the no-collusion, no-conspiracy, no-obstruction Mueller Report to the public. Now, the HJC and the American people would very much like to see the full, unredacted, non-cherry picked version. You know, the original one.

If the Bucks are smart, they’ll do everything they can to keep Antimetopízei as happy as possible in Milwaukee. It was a long time ago, but I’m pretty sure that the collective psyche of a city never truly recovers from the sort of trauma that comes with losing an all-world talent like Kareem so early in his career,…

Actually, Doom should’ve kept company with folks like Luke Cage more often. After all, Doom even acknowledges his poor talent evaluation and employee-hiring skills in a no-nonsense fashion:

Also, noshies.

A horse is a horse, of course, of course,

How in Christ’s name is this not a parody???

Dude, spending $117 at a strip club in Miami is about what you’d expect it to cost for parking, entrance, and maybe—maaaaaybe—-a virgin piña colada and tip.

Gary Larson and Bill Waterson were some of my greatest inspirations as a young person.
