I have seen this giant breed at state fairs. They are not rare. If this person really cared about having a record-setting rabbit (and, apparently, loves rabbits so much that she had plastic surgery to look more like one) she could easily have acquired some domestic ones and tried to make her own prize-winner, as…

Because shipping them in the cargo hold will possibly kill them (as you can see in this story), and it is pretty unlikely that your "product" cannot be obtained within driving distance. (I mean jeez, rabbits are famous as being literally the easiest thing to breed.)

"I’ve sent rabbits all around the world and nothing like this has happened before."

more like bullshit town amirite?

When I was young I thought Michael Chabon's Mysteries of Pittsburgh was amazing. More recently I saw the terrible, terrible movie adaptation, which was bad enough to make me wonder whether 15-year-old me knew shit about anything.

People are really just sophisticated monkeys.

I'm an old timer like you, but I never had a device with the big HD in it. I just use the phone to carry around about 20GB of music and I leave the rest at home. It's really plenty.

It IS pretty funny that he's basically just a cranky old man at this point. Including this episode:

"Sore winners."

Are Yo La Tengo the hippest old people in the world? If they were, they would have to beat out Pope Francis, Terence Stamp, and Insert Third Cool OId Person Here. When you think about it, a lot of the cool old people that immediately spring to mind are actually dead, so they've got a good chance.

It's funny, I had my Cure phase back in the day, but I just don't have the patience to go back. (Well, I tried, listened through 17 Seconds and Three Imaginary Boys and found them underwhelming.) So I just wait to be reminded of a killer single I can't live without, and I put that back in rotation.

I used to be with you on this, but after he died I realized I had seriously undervalued him. Sure, every album contains at least a little dreck and some have a lot, but there aren't enough truly beautiful and brilliant people doing consistently weird things in this world.

It is often true that the most artistically transgressive motherfuckers are actually the most friendly and cheerful. It's like, they've gotten what they wanted in life, and they get it all out of their system, so what is there left to be anxious about?

Heh, that is a weirdly ominous opening for You're So Vain. Aside from the fact that the latter has a bass-heavy intro and is in the same key, are you hearing more connections?

"The correct take is now in print."

I am also not going to watch, but I assume they are using the mayo to play "Saturday in the Park" by Chicago, or maybe "Baby Come Back" by Player. Really, you could market a decent K-Tel album with just a jar of mayo on the cover.

Yeah, I disliked the fact that they had "moderators" who would write bitchy content, snidely argue back at you in the comments, and then delete your replies.

I think the only Jewish deli I am legit excited about right now is Mile End. I should go there soon.

Wuuuuuut? There are like 400 good restaurants left. Maybe a hundred-and-change if you are fussy. Good chinese food. BBQ. Fancy, high-end burgers. World-class aged steaks. Sushi. Izakayas (Japanese snacks, mostly skewers, my new fave thing), 10 kinds of fried chicken including that candy-coated Korean stuff. …

Yeah, being able to breeze in during the previews is so great. Otherwise, I am an anxious type who will camp out a half-hour early even when I don't need to.
