Hmmm, the Crusty Burger? Well, that doesn't sound too appealing. What kind of stew do you have?

Lunacy! How would we get it down?!

@avclub-fbb1d0aa8eb214a2ce4aec289a3c6b6d:disqus : 1.) On the news report after the Mariott bombing, it states that the hotel was one of the most popular social centers of Islamabad, especially amongst Westerners, so I can buy them both being there. 2.) She was there because the mole she was supposed to be meeting with…

See, that wouldn't have bothered me so much if it was a character we had already been introduced to giving her that information, because I can buy that a lot of intel got lost in the rush for revenge after 9/11, but to have this random woman give it to her out of some sort of hero worship? That's one of the few…

But that doesn't necessarily mean that he's saying that torture is good. He's saying that it's a method they've come to rely on, and now that it's off the table, he doesn't know how to move forward with getting the intel that he needs to convince the higher ups that Bin Laden is in the compound. It would be one thing…

But…they work for the C.I.A. The war on terror is literally their job, therefore it doesn't seem all that far-fetched to me that they would find themselves in places where some nasty stuff goes down.

As I mentioned on E.Buzz's thread, I saw MORRISSEY at Brooklyn Academy of Music with Lassid Police this past Friday. It was my first time seeing the Pope of Mope (her second, I believe?), and it did not disappoint. He played a great and interestingly curated selection of solo material and Smiths songs, and did it with…

Also, keep in mind that a lot of the characters—Maya in particular—are composites of multiple people, so I feel like that's where some of that archetypical behavior comes from.

No way, I was at that Morrissey show too! I totally lost my shit when he did How Soon Is Now, and I love that he has two roadies whose sole job is to keep people from bounding up onstage and hugging him.

Congrats, dude! And now, here's Mike D'Angelo with a piece on why first kisses are TOTALLY OVERRATED…

Totally loved the Schwartz/Sans episode, but I'm not sure I can handle another Nancy Cooper appearance. Even for CBB, that character may be a bit too one-note, not to mention the voice definitely started to get to me after awhile. South Jersey really is like that, guys.

Or even just an image of the band. That would've been nice.

Flies like a moron!

If we can have a new album by The Men to look forward to every spring, then that would be just a-ok with me!

He's a real cutup, that one! Always with the zingers and the yuks!

I washed my hands because they smell like my mother!

It is pretty awesome to have a place to sort of check in with everybody, makes it feel like an actual meeting of friends, or at least creeps who you grudgingly tolerate (in other words…friends? yeah.)

A griffin from Brooklyn?

That's my Robert, always peeing on people! Make sure you get her hair, Robert!
