Is it just me or did the 5/4 in Morning Bell not translate right? There's something off about this version, but it's also kinda off-putting. Which is sort of how the song is supposed to be?

I want "dry-humping the line between irony and homage" on my tombstone. If I were to be an asshole and actually get buried. Which I won't.

You can play most of these on a modern computer using SCUMMvm.

Good thing you didn't add Boston; it's not really a college town.

How many people who actually watched this show noticed Freddy Rumsen as the UPS delivery man?

Hm. I meant to reply to Leto II's first comment. Did that not happen? DAMN TECHNOLOGY

… your prospective schadenfreude doesn't seem very… Christian? Just sayin'.

well. THAT was embarrassing. Got to Eschaton last night. Talk about shit timing.

SONOFABITCH. Totally just got to this point. I knew I should wait until I finished the book.

it's probably an autoclave (for sterilizing stuff)

Is that Michael Hogan (Saul fucking Tigh) playing a villager in Little Red Riding Hood? I'm too lazy to IMDb that shit. No Battlestar love in the podcast?

mostly
I will never, never forgive him from taking that Oscar from Parker/Stone/Shaiman

Icky Thump
IS the best White Stripes album.

FUCK THIS
No Sex Bob-omb? Or The Clash at Demonhead? Or Crash and the Boys? Or did that shit just rock too hard?

why

Fuck this headline
Ozzy's nothing special. If Svante Paabo is right, then pretty much all western Eurasians have a few tiny, tiny, tiny Neanderthal genetic markers. And so, according to the biological species concept, Neanderthals are not a separate species. But fuck Ernst Mayr.

Indianapolis
is not too far away from Chicago… it's like a day trip.
