Smooth, but he’s no master like this man:

Advice needed: I’m a casual Doctor Who fan (I’ve only seen small bits of the last two seasons but was otherwise once a regular watcher), is there a particular one audio story that people would recommend as the best? Don’t care if it’s the modern series or the older radio/audio stories (weren’t there different

No, I get it and there’s certainly not one wrong way or the other. Truth be told, I haven’t watched Glow yet and the Netflix shows I do watch still just have the pop-up option button come up instead of anything automatic. And it’s a well-written piece for what it is. It’s just... a bit much? He’s the professor,

Ugh, I feel like I just got trapped in a late night dorm room conversation with Neil Young about how if you’re going to listen to an album you shouldn’t shuffle or skip songs because that’s not what the artist intended, man.

It’s a classic Jacob’s Ladder scenario.

“Building code under fire? You don’t say!”

Wow, that’s... that’s amazing. I don’t even know what to say. Well played to all involved. By which I mean that’s terrible and it should be burned with fire and then thrown off a ravine.

So, imagine it got made last year and is coming out this weekend. Who’s on the soundtrack that would make it half as 90s-awesome as the original? It needs to be the perfect combination of glorious, way too of-its-time, and WTF cringe-worthy. Go!

Ditto. Being from the US I wasn’t aware of it as it happened in the 90s, but any time I feel down I just need to watch that “Up On The Roof” video for a quick laugh.

Stealing that.

I’ve changed from “guys” to “folks” in the past few years. Makes me sound old-timey but feels more inclusive. I also once got called out for saying “panties in a bunch” in the office ages ago but no one’s complained about “briefs in a bunch” since.

Fair enough, I was reacting more to the vitriol of “it’s a fuck you” when it could easily be that Del Toro and Mignola are both pulling from similar stories of aquamen like Black Lagoon, Lovecraft, etc. We’ll see when the movie comes out, I suppose, but these are guys that worked well together because they both like

Yes you can be.

It’s safe since The Pacific Age to ignore all instrumental/cut-and-paste songs. They are uniformly awful. I will be wary of anything similar in this one but was pleasantly surprised by English Electric so I’ll give it a shot.

JJ Watt will be in Congress within 12 years, possibly sooner. This is a surer bet than anything else about the Texans.

My guess is someone was trying to sneak a private joke in. Although we should all start using it immediately for... something.

In that picture he is one mustache away from looking like half of my brother’s 1982 fraternity pledge class. It’s uncanny.

Oh, god, yes. There is no quick goodbye in my family. Even on the phone my mom has to say “bye” half a dozen times. It’s like a game of chicken to see who hits the button first.

I’m glad they cut to what they ended up with, the joke was just perfectly done. Plus the fact that he got a music collection from his “father” in parallel to the two he received from his mother was just the right touch.

When we first moved to Pittsburgh we were surprised by the Regatta crowd. I was expecting far more sweaters tied around necks and far fewer drunken brawls. I guess branding is everything.
