I HAVEN'T LIVED WITH DAVE IN WEEKS! WHAT THE FUCK HAPPENED TO HIM!? WHAT DID YOU MONSTERS DO? YOU GODDAMNN FILTHY ANIMALS OH MYGODDDDDDDDAGGHWHYGODPLEASEIDON'TWANTTOLIVEANYMORESOMEONE OH WHA'TS THE POINT

I feel like Spike Lee tweeting the adress of what he thought was Zimmerman's house sort of justifies every mean thing I've ever said about him.

Along with Pet Shop Boys and Public Enemy, those are the musical artists I treasure most. I published a book on Michael Jackson called Keep Moving: The Michael Jackson Chronicles and said at the end of an article in Slate that I would publish a book on Morrisey.

I see that you have resorted to in fighting and gleeful tribalism in my abscence. It only proves what I already knew; you are nothing without me! I am the dark cloud that unites us; the heart of this group.

I was glad to see that this episode mostly avoided cheap shots at Michael Jackson, the towering figure of the last 30 years.

Harmon is not so much a genius as a sad sack fat loser who has an unhealthy obssession with pop culture which he uses to intellectually justify his own self hatred and self pity. A little like a certain ex-roommate of mine.

Ron Swanson is nothing without the libertarianism. It's a crucial part of who he is. You hipsters never appreciate the social and political significance of Parks and Recreation.

Michael Jackson! They better not make fun of him, even a little bit, or I will be really fucking angry.

I'm not on the Pixies board ,if that's what you meant. I think my ex roommate Dave was referring to the Binky and Claudia conversation.

Calm the fuck down Dave. You need to be able to live without me for a while. This whole display is quite pathetic and sad. We can still talk over the Internet, which is the only way you've been communicating for a while anyway. The difference between having one friend in real life and no friends in real life isn't…

It's ok, we can still talk. I have a computer where I am now…though not much else. Let's have that conversation on the meaning of life we were planning!

I don't feel bad; quite the opposite. I feel better than I've ever felt before, because I have realized I can no longer depend on anyone else. That includes you.

I'm OK by myself.

You're right, you can't watch me all the time, and you don't need to.

Where were you when I shot myself the first time?

So you see my value now, to quote that series which I shall not name.
