I always thought the date-rapeyness of "Got You Where I Want You" was a) intentional and b) part of the reason it's awesome.

Hahah, I gave Spider-Man 3 a better review than it deserved, too.

About half the songs on No. 4 are pretty great while the other half are kind of crummy (and I say this as a big STP fan). Still, I think it's an underappreciated album; along with the singles, I like "No Way Out," "Sex & Violence," and "Glide" an awful lot.

They've been breeding while our backs were turned. We'd better get out of here!

Hah, I was just about to counter that Cowboy Bebop pulled off a brilliant final few episodes and basically nailed its dramatic arc. It's probably the reason most anime's been spoiled for me.

Whoops, a hundred more replies showed up while I was busy drafting that boring history lecture. But it was in reply to Miller.

No, you're (mostly) right, there was a forum where we could start our own topics and stuff, completely separated from the AV Club's articles. Back before they covered everything since the cave painting, that's where we went to talk with each other about whatever they hadn't gotten around to.

And why are Flied Lice under Asian instead of movie references? What kind of respectable critic hasn't seen Lethal Weapon 4?

Well, I'm sure you're a fine fellow, but I do like the occasional troll just to mix things up. So I vote you both stay.

I'm going to make a possibly idiotic suggestion and say Ben Browder would make a rocking Bill Hicks. Not looks-wise, yeah, but his exasperation with constantly butting heads with aliens on Farscape seems pretty analogous with Hicks' take on life on Earth (TM).

Best real name is clearly Carolina Panthers cornerback Captain Munnerlyn.

On some level, Staind isn't worth defending, but "Mudshovel" is a pretty great song. One that is as good as "Slave 4 You."

Neither of those articles proved anything at all. Both of them floated the idea the Mac campaign may have hurt sales rather than helped, but there was absolutely nothing there that did anything beyond saying "Mac sales aren't better, maybe their ads backfired" with zero—I mean, nothing even remotely constituting…

Ha! Meanwhile, my name continues to go completely unsullied.

Damn it, I can't believe I'm about to do this, but Knight and Day was actually pretty good. Its sense of humor was much more warped than you would expect from a Tom Cruise movie. The editing in it was pretty fucking great, too.

Hmm, I don't agree with KalebH's The Other Guys-hating policy. But I do approve of his HTTM-loving policy.

I hereby enlist my sword for the righteous cause.

"Israel's Son" from Frogstomp still rocks pretty thoroughly. Can't speak for anything else.

I think they started updating more than once per week around 2006. I recall my work goofoff habits changing drastically.
