In fairness to Bono, he didn't pick that nickname; it was foisted on him by Gavin Friday.

I think I'll stick with making fun of Axl for the whole 'Chinese Democracy' debacle. Remember when everyone in the US was going to get a free can of Dr Pepper when the album was finally released?

Yep… he talks about how the agencies used to hire college grads who were polite, professional, and consistently unable to collect on any of the debts they were handed, so they started hiring ex-cons and petty criminals instead.

You Won't Believe How Awful This Candidate's Tone And Substance Are

I'm not sure I approve of these 'boncentration bamps.'

On the knowledge tip, the guy being interviewed by MSNBC in the clip is Jake Halpern, and his book 'Bad Paper' is fantastic and highly recommended, particularly if you want to know why so many debt collectors act like thugs and criminals.

No way, although Barbay does remind me of a few professors I had.

I'm just assuming that next week, we'll find out that this was a ploy by Arya to get the Waif off her tail by faking her death (possibly using some props stolen from the acting troupe). If it turns out that she really was just walking around totally clueless, I think I'll throw something.

"In a few minutes, I'd be free… or dead… or Rodolfo Lasparri of Palermo, Sicily."

I watched the miniseries, and I thought the end with the giant spider was really stupid. Then I read the book, and I wondered if there was any way of adapting the extremely abstract final showdown any better than they did.

I have a particular hate for Last Stand because it squandered the excitement and anticipation I felt at the end of X2 by totally botching the Dark Phoenix story among various other shortcomings.

An Overpaid Tool?

Since everyone else is doing it:

Well played.
