For the Microsoft commercial, my friend said, "Yes, but that doesn't explain why they chopped his legs off in the first place."

"HEY KIDS! PUT ME IN YOUR MOUTH!"

Handeln doesn't know what he's talking about. This episode was great.

As one of the few Medievalists in the room, I can promise you that the real middle ages were actually exactly like this. Martin is a very historically grounded author (y'know, except for the dragons and magic and shit). He writes these fantasy tropes that everyone knows like the back of their hand but gives them…

This was entertaining enough. Probably better for people who haven't gone through the gauntlet of mindfuck lit the way we have here. Give it to your nerdy, high-school -aged relatives

I hated Inherent Vice. Pynchon did  the "It used to be the sixties but it's not anymore!" theme much, much better in Vineland.

If it's not a donated book, a pulp romance novel or a bestseller, my library won't get it

Loebs are also good for people who have a smattering of the language but not enough to sit down and read the straight text. Granted, many of the translations (excluding Jeffery Henderson's Aristophanes) are atrocious, archaic or both, but they're enough of a crib to get through a text or pick out quotes for a paper.

Eh
It was a shitty movie anyway.

Ah, Lemmiwinks, we hardly knew ye.

Bars in New Orleans are frequently open 24 hours. Even off of the shithole tourists know as Bourbon.

Oh, hey.
Another wacky movie that wish-fulfillment and "zany antics!!one" to affirm the superiority of monogamous marriage. Count me in, if by "in" you mean "willing to catch cancerAIDS so that this movie ceases to exist."

Fucksly McFuckington, that fucker who fuckin fucks up whatever fuckin isn't working.

I am disappoint
No Mintberry Crunch?

Avatar is all Oedipal. The natives have consensual sex with their mother planet, but the white man rapes her.

Dr. Phil's show.

Very, very early Family Guy was, if you'll permit me to let my inner snob run free for a bit, almost Dada in its absurdity, an absurdity which was itself layered over the Aristophanic wish-fulfillment comedy structure. I think the problem was that it was purely accidental, and whoever is writing now doesn't understand…

If you can find it
there's an audiobook of Douglas Adams reading Hitchhiker's Guide. Now, my great aunt bought me paperbacks of THHGTG and Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective agency when I was in 7th grade for Christmas. In the ten years since, I've read the Hitchhiker's Guide trilogy at least 25 times, gone through no…
