Sorry, man, but no vitriol from THIS Pynchon cultist—just the mournful recognition that even the man himself couldn't save that and the other episode he was in from deepest, darkest mediocrity. Sad times.

What—you think they're actually adults? El oh el.

Adequate.
But truly, Michael has never been as loathsome as he was tonight. I don't know whether or not that's a good thing.

This review gives zero indication of what the album actually, you know, SOUNDS like.
I'm just saying. The assumption that all readers are all already huge "Clem Snide" fans seems a bit untoward. Sure, there's the sample, but if you're hiding behind that, do we really need a review at all?

Someone is apparently twelve years old, based on someone's idea of what constitutes scathing sarcasm.

It's new old games. If that's not something that appeals to you, fine, but it seems to me to be missing the point by a rather wide margin to complain that you could easily play ACTUAL old games on an emulator. Sure you could. And I often do. But the point is, if you enjoy that kind of gaming…well, you just might

Retro Game Challenge vs. Nord and Bert Couldn't Make Head or Tail of It
Which is more postmodern? Discuss.

Who's this "you" I've been hearing about lately? It's certainly not "me."

Oh, Hound. You're breaking my heart. I thought we had something special, but now you ignore my plaintive pleas, and then I find you running around with this…this AncientChineseSecret TRAMP! Why did it have to turn out this way? I know you only hit me because you care. Please come back home. The children talk

I don't know about anyone else, but I take these charges against Moore VERY SERIOUSLY, and just as SOON as ol' Hound of Heaven provides a link to one of the "many, many" places where Moore admits it, I will be happy to join in his justified outrage.

If the dude isn't an elaborate spoof (but to what end?), I really think he must be suffering from some sort of schizophrenia-type thing. I can think of no other explanation for his bizarre behavior.

Well, I'm not sure, but it's certainly food for thought. It's definitely true, however, that there ARE holes in his persona—note the way he doesn't confiscate Moloch's blackmarket cancer drugs, doesn't punish his landlady for slandering him, and, in one of the more poignant bits in the comic, badly wants Dreiberg's

That's interesting, Often, but the idea that he suddenly realizes the rightness of Veidt's plan at the end seems wildly off to me. He knows he's going to die, obviously, but his last words are bitter, hopeless anger, not anything approaching acquiescence.

Okay, so in looking back, it's pretty obvious that "BajingoHound" is a spoof rather than an actual person asserting his/her/its actual opinions. Nobody's that silly. I apologize for my part in egging him/her/it on.

Also, when you, in your twelve-year-old way, characterize "anyone who doesn't agree with that" as "an ignorant 'tard," does that statement include General Dwight D. Eisenhower, Supreme Commander of the Allied Forces in Europe, Supreme Commander of NATO, and thirty-fourth President of the United States of America? I

GeoX, you obviously think nuclear war and the deaths of the entire human race are cool and something to be strived for because you agree with Rorschach.

I won't claim to be absolutely certain about my pronouncements, but Rorschach's acceptance of the necessity of torturing petty thugs to get information—even when most of them don't know anything—certainly seems ends-justify-means-ish; perhaps more to the point, there's his childhood essay at the end of Chapter Six, in

Yes, I think nuclear war is "cool." That was what I was trying to say. That was the point of my post. Really, that's all you need to know. Don't strain your limited mental capacities over it.

It doesn't have anything to with tough guy anything. Yes, he's borderline insane, but compare his ends-justify-the-means worldview with his behavior at the end: he's heroic because he ultimately proves to be capable of reexamining and rejecting this worldview, in spite of the fact that it was the only thing masking

What strength!! But don't forget, there are many guys like you, all over the world.
