Jia I wish you would make us a mix. As you get older the surrounding crowd of music-loving friends (and the passively absorbable soundtrack of their loved music) gets sparser and sparser and fainter and fainter. Sometime around 2012 the last of my new-music-supplying buddies lost his missionary zeal. No one ever tells…

I studied with Dr. Holekamp and I’m listening to spotted hyenas whoop right now as I’m reading this. Great article!

Seems you’ve switched the Deadspin title-and-hyperlink font to teal. That’s about as cool as dad’s Nautica windbreaker.

The problem here is that loving Arby's roast beef calls all of your other opinions into question.

Is "goes in on" a thing? I know "gets in on" and "weighs in on" and maybe "goes all in on". What does it mean to "go in"?

I think he said:

The main thing is: people who don't like Lindy West are just nut-jobs. LW takes the same topics that other low- middle- and high-brow commentators are yelling about and posturing about and being absolutist a-holes about and writes things like this that are thoughtful about ambiguities, funny, entertaining and honest…

This is complete ad hominem argumentation. A rat meat sandwich, even topped with cheez whiz, would (probably) be unappetizing. Does this mean that a delicious hoagie filled with griddled, thin-sliced ribeye steak and caramelized onions, tossed with cheese (or cheez) and dappled with smoky marinated long-hots and tangy…

Describing cheesesteaks as "greasy missiles" is slanderously biased journalism. Would you call pizzas "sebaceous piecharts" or hamburgers "bovine slurrycakes"?

I think the academy is well-stocked with blithe, privileged, unexamined and arrogant elitism, sexism, racism, and insensitivity. Activists who want to question all of that should go for it.

Eat, Pray, Poop sounds at least as compelling as the original. Also - for millions of Americans - very relatable.

Interesting information. But mainly, an outstanding piece of writing. Thanks Deadspin for publishing work like this. I'll be looking for the book.

I actually think that "Nah, fuck that guy" could suffice as a response to anything Tucker Max does for the rest of his life. Someone should go ahead and pre-chisel it onto a granite block for the headstone.

I feel like Ebeneezer Splooge needs an alternate username for these posts where he tackles the tough social issues of our day.

Nah, fuck that guy.

One simply cannot say enough "Fuck You"s to the chives on that Frito dog.

Is this the Singularity?

But now you're great at it. Good at sex, good at Yiddish - you are pretty much all set.

dermot, I'm worried that since you're out there on your own, no one will ever tell you that the Yiddish word for a repetitious performance, or a "song and dance" is schtick (or shtick, depending on how hebraic you're feeling). Schlock is more like "shoddy merchandise." It sounds like the schtick pimps use to reel in…

There's a whole doctoral thesis to be written on "The Strange Casting of Janeane Garofalo as the 'Not Hot' Character in Film: 1989-1999."
