I mean come on, it's real estate, the most boring and dickish industry there is. Sure, you got rich, but you did it by being a professional landlord.

Eh, I buy an avocado or two each week and can never get it up to do anything "proper" with them. (Used to love making guac but got tired of buying all that other shit.) So they either go on toast or they go bad.

Apparently it was for a performance of Don Giovanni. Who knows, maybe the opera company was really bad and it was intended to be a diss on them, but it has been elevated to some idea about the joy of analysis.

Reminds me of that annoying Brahms quote where he declined to go to a concert and said he'd rather stay home and read the score.

Yeah, I am disappointed that every single blog I've seen covering this (uh, I feel like I've read it on engadget and gizmodo and one other random source) hasn't bothered to really look at the ramifications of this (of which there are probably none?).

I bought a four pack about a year ago, and one is still in the fridge. Every time I drink it, I do enjoy it, but something always holds me back from jumping into that pool again. Guess I should buy some sausages.

Yeah, it's a tough trick to find things that are only a little sour. I've found that Berliner Weisses are the go-to sour for me (like Dogfish Festina Peche, Evil Twin James Beer.)

Yeah, that's definitely the scariest aspect of the Wonder Wheel. You have plenty of time to look at the steel and bolts and think "maybe today's the day this little fucking track breaks and it drops all the cars."

I watched it once and thought it was pretty good!

I've lived in NYC 20 years and I've only had my shit stolen twice. Once was in Hell's Kitchen. We parked our Ford Focus on the street, right in front of a bunch of guys who were hanging out on their stoop. (We were going to H & H bagels, I think.) When we came back someone had stolen the little plastic hubcab…

Yeah, don't forget W ended up with 24% after invading the wrong country and watching the entire economy melt down.

Wait, wait! Don't switch over to death! Here's Thom Yorke with the lastest score.

For me "dudebros" are buff but "douchebag" connotes a certain effete skeeviness. Not a lot of overlap IMO.

"How is that not *exactly* like Hannity/Rush?"

It's not even remotely alike. Patent trolls are companies that buy up vague patents as a deliberate measure to sit on them until they can sue someone.

Wait, what does this have to do with patent trolls?

Yeah, I hated Age of Adz. For me it just sounded like a bunch of whiny, non-melodic bullshit, and the proggy electro production wasn't interesting. I realize this is a minority opinion, but there are others out there who do think this. I figured that Alvy Singer (the OP) and me must have a similar perspective. …

For what it's worth, I think Carrie and Lowell is a return to form after some pretty bad albums. If you haven't really given this one a chance I'd say it is worth it. Ultimately I like it better than Illinoise.

Yeah, and I *really* don't get the appeal of the one lie. It seems like there is no interesting way to play it. Do you

especially after he was such a dick to Obama for 8 years. Did he really not understand that anybody with any kind of public visibility could easily do the same to him?
