Also, the words "Oh my God!" have never been funnier than when screamed by Griffin Dunne going over a cliff in this movie.

Then there was the whole caught-cheating-on-his-wife thing that came out this year, although I don't suppose that would tend to offend one's hipster d-bag sensibilites.

I pass the stadium on Rt. 3 all the time. That highway's actually jammed with slicked-down guidos on a Zubaz-pantsed Powerade run.

He's the poor shitty man's John Cougar, Roy.

An obscure one I use whenever someone is looking to pick out a pattern for sheets, wallpaper, etc.: "duckies and bunnies!"

Walked right into that one, didn't I.

I learned that Easy-E = Eric Wright from Ice Cube's No Vaseline:

That always confused me… the second part of that statement is neither a joke nor jimmy-related.

Also, I know they're NWA rip-offs, but no Geto Boys?

Yeah, a lot of Cube's stuff was pretty funk-heavy around that time. He definitely merits a mention. When I hear the word "G-Funk" of course Snoop and Dre come to mind, but the first thing that pops into my head is "Today Was a Good Day".

I'm heavily invested in hos and I haven't checked the G-Index yet today… are pimps still up and hos down? They are? Damn. I knew I should have followed Wu Tang Financial's advice and diversified my bonds.

That actually explains a lot about the disparity between Lewis' experience as a father and mine, Just a Girl. I do at least 50% (sometimes it feels like more) of the parenting duties in my house, my wife respects my parenting skills (for the most part) and my daugher gets as much time and attention from me as she…

I do know (and have) children, and I get where Riff Raff is coming from. As I said above, I respect this guy's forthrightness about his mixed feelings, but I question his paternal instincts also. I'm not judging him at all (we all react differently), I just don't want potential parents out there thinking that it's…

I see, Wes. I've thought about that a lot and I'm definitely OK with being the bad guy from time to time. I didn't have a kid because I needed a new best friend - this kid's gonna eat her vegetables and LIKE IT! My situation is helped by the fact that I hated my dad when I was growing up, but I respect where he was…

Apparently, Visible Man's theory is actually true in Irish Catholic schools run by priests.

I'm not sure I understand what you mean by parenting "from within or without", Wes, but I definitely agree that parenting is the most rewarding thing I've ever done, even though it's also the hardest. Sounds like it's that much harder for you having to go through it alone. Good luck.

As a new parent
I'm always open to reading about people who have gone through a similar experience, but this guy's mindset isn't one I can really identify with. I'm definitely struggling with the lack of sleep, etc., but I can't empathize with someone who only comes to love his child by resisting the urge to cast it…

Let me tell you about Jesus, friend.

But hopefully first to succumb to it.
