This sounds cool, but bodily sounds (especially joint cracks and whatever a "fingernail-tooth combination" is) make me uncomfortable.

This sounds like a great idea — I'll try it. (I ended up eating two PBJ sandwiches and half a bag of cheddar goldfish, so the chili thing would be a big improvement.)

Yo what should I eat for lunch? I never know what to eat for lunch. I've
gotten tired of my (admittedly very good) ham&pepperjack sandwiches. What do you
guys eat for lunch? I don't like going out for lunch too often, and
sometimes I don't have any leftovers from last night, and I don't want
to eat sandwiches anymore.…

Oh I'm realizing I don't really know what "historical fiction" means.

Have you already read The Devil in the White City? That's got Chicago and crime, and it's historical fiction set in the late 19th century.

Man, I lost my headphones last week, so I've just been listening to the sound of my own thoughts on my way to/from work the past couple days.

Well now that you said "butts" it's "butts."

Dude, it's possible to relate to something on more than just a literal / surface level. I feel like a lot of The Road is about trying and failing to protect your loved one from experiencing shitty things when you yourself are experiencing shitty things. The baby-eating is pretty incidental to that central impulse. (As…

I'm pretty sure you and I might just approach art differently, but you kind of sound like a robot. Or how closely does something have to mirror your own feelings/experiences for you to empathize with it? Exactly?

Yeah I was reading that when I graduated college, and something about Hal really resonated with my post-college malaise and general aimlessness. Especially because I couldn't really figure out what I wanted to do for a while, and it seemed like for everyone else they'd figured that shit out years ago, no problem. So…

As long as I have "Lemon World" and "Conversation 16," I'd be pretty much fine with all other songs in the world not even having lyrics.

Seeing Sunset Rubdown play "The Mending of the Gown" was one of my favorite concert experiences. It had such a manic energy. I thought their hands would fall off.

That looks really great. Also, your floors look like they would be perfect for sliding across in socks.

It took me awhile to reconcile Scrawler's two comments because I read "down on the idea" as "down WITH the idea." But yeah, I agree. As long as they're interested in something .

Maybe you can do something with how in "Sleepy Hollow" the Headless Horseman is the spectre of the Revolutionary War haunting everyone, both figuratively AND literally.

Man, maybe her sense of humor just isn't for me, but I read this piece in Slate ( http://www.slate.com/articl… ), and she came across as one of the most annoying human beings I'd ever experienced.

Have you guys had Larceny bourbon before? I don't know if it's new or WHAT, but I bought a bottle and it's like Woodford taste/smoothness for a Maker's Mark price. Not a bad deal, I say.

HEY so I'm new to commenting in the TI (and in the AV Club in general), BUT I decided to post once I realized that I was looking forward to something today but I couldn't quite figure out what it was, and then it turned out I was waiting for the TI comments.

Not to be a dick, but if I had to guess, I'd say the reviewer's viola comment came from Cale's Wikipedia article, where in the Velvet Underground section it says, "Though Cale co-wrote the music to several songs, his most distinctive contribution is the electrically amplified viola."
