Bob Mould? Paul Westerberg? I don't think it's a contradiction unless you're a purist.

I have and I can assure you that there is no law powerful enough to conquer that level of ignorance. They will continue to endanger themselves and others no matter…

Ugly people can cheat with other ugly people. Occasionally even with non-ugly people if they have self-esteem issues.

I think it's less prevalent in other parts of the country, but we have a small craft cider-making industry equivalent to the craft beer movement in the rest of…

That charge would indicate that he attemptedto conceal them on his person, or possibly just lied about possessing them before being processed. You wouldn't be charged for drugs which were found and processed for evidence prior to being booked.

I won't drive with anyone unbuckled, whether there's a law or not.

I believe in seat belts, but not in seat belt laws. People who don't wear their seat belts are a self-solving problem.

I've never cheated on anyone, even in a bad marriage with someone who had cheated and given plenty of opportunities. I think it's totally natural to be tempted, especially in a bad relationship, but I don't buy that it's a biological imperative to fuck everything you can.

I haven't seen that movie in about 15 years, and I still cringe when I remember certain scenes.

I don't agree with Dan Savage on everything, but I'm pretty sure even he would agree that given their existing arrangement, Thurston Moore's behavior qualifies his as an asshole.

Yeah, if anything Kim Gordon is the asshole for acting like just because she's married he shouldn't be allowed to fuck people behind her back or possibly expose her to STDs. She practically forced him to continue cheating while pretending to work on the marriage in counseling. And you raise a good point, why wasn't…

I think his insecurity and his affection for Fry, and the fact that his Jerkass jokes are well-written, make his character more enjoyable than modern day Jerkass Homer. Excising his redeeming qualities and getting lazy with the writing could easily ruin the character.

Every Simpsons article causes at least three dozen people to complain about how they didn't cancel the Simpsons while it was still good…I'd say we're pretty close to that point with Futurama. If it goes much further we are most certainly looking at a move to Fox sunday nights, Bender's evolution into Jerkass Bender,…

That's my new favorite poem.

I'll have to rewatch it, but the restaurant stuff is always so dead on to me that I don't give it a second thought.

Re: Treme….it's pretty true to life for someone in the restaurant business to exhibit disdain towards any kind of labor laws. There is a very particular work ethic I've never seen in any other busienss where from bottom up people voluntarily work off the clock, skip breaks, and refuse to file complaints for any kind…

My suggested early American hardcore primer:

You're right you don't have to justify yourself, because no one really gives a shit. We just want you to shut the fuck up.

You must live in Fairfield county.

Our apartment had a doorway in the kitchen that went straight to the store and in the last year it was in business they carried NES games. Remembering how cool that was is actually…
