More like Lake Flaccid! Amirite?

Yeah, his wikipedia page is hilariously specific about the details of his custody arrangement. It also cites an Entertainment Tonight story, which is funny to me, though not as funny as the idea of this goon using kickboxing moves against his coked up wife.

Duty Now for the Future by a mile for me. Smart Patrol/Mr. DNA, Blockhead, The Day my Baby Gave me a Surprise, and Clock Out are about the best things they ever recorded, and the rest of the album is almost that good.

I loved it that Gruber felt like he needed to say "Shoot the glass" in English to clarify to his German-speaking compatriot what he wanted done.

Judging by the preview for next weeks episode, Hank might have given him a little more than 1/2.

More or less my thoughts exactly. Gus knows who Hank is, has the resources to find out how to contact him, and has a good reason to keep track of the Cousin's whereabouts. I think he saw an opportunity and took it.

Hell, I'd have bumped this up to an A- just because I remembered how funny the "Bitch Hunter" joke was from last week.

Yeah, I skimmed over that part of the write up a little bit. I feel kinda dumb now, especially in light of the zillion people who said something substantially identical before me, but when I wrote this there were a grand total of 0 reasonable discussions taking place. It was an honest mistake!

My line of thought was that he was there—and has the qualifications that he does—so that he can learn everything from Walt before Frings lets the Cousins have him. That way Frings has a superlative product and a qualified manufacturer even with Walt out of the picture.

Have you not noticed the proximity to finals? College-age readership+late-April/early-May=sharp decline in volume of worthwhile commentary. Or something. The foregoing is just my unqualified speculation. Also, [BLEEP].

What I failed to mention is that "Grotesque" is now (and has been for some time) my favorite Fall record full-stop for all the reasons you mention, but I doubt I would ever have felt that way without something accessible like "Saving Grace." It's obviously kind of hard to get into a band as prolific as the Fall. As…

This would have been helpful all those years back.
I dearly, dearly wanted to enjoy the Fall when I was a younger man and tried several times with a couple Fall albums before it clicked. After Dragnet and Live at the Witch Trials, I was ready to give up. I went to a record store, determined to try one last Fall…

While I'm certain that there are plenty of awesome SCTV stories to be told by Martin Short, he seems like the type of person who would be incapable of anything other than a Robin Williams-esque level of feverish mania at any given time. Pass.
