@ 4-in-1: My son is, like his father, a devout atheist. The only fear of masturbation we instilled in him was the fear of staining his $800 mattress when it was still under warranty. Now that the warranty is expired, we just never look at his mattress.

@Anywhere: My son has seen Pulp Fiction, however, hasn't sat through the credits, so while he heard Dick Dale in the film, he didn't know who it was that he heard. With GH/RB they know who the artist is. The only downside to that is that he doesn't like Santana because he thinks "Black Magic Woman" is boring. I,…

I'm always annoyed by these "the government takes half my money" idiots. I always tell them to do the actual math (i.e., divide the total taxes you paid by your gross income) and tell me what percentage you actually paid. They never respond to that because they'd have to admit that the government only takes 20% of…

The best track from Destroyer is "Detroit Rock City."

*they're*

Guitar Hero pro:
My kids have been exposed to music they never would have otherwise. For example, they in their mid-teens and know who Dick Dale is.

Van Halen always replaced their singer with one who was a better vocalist and a worse front man.

Duck, I sez.

In the first quarter, no less.

What???
No love for Hayden Christensen's awesome voice-over in Jumper? I mean, he could, like, teleport and shit and then he'd EXPLAIN that he just teleported! How else would we poor audience members have known?

@Gringo — "never even a suspect in"??? Get your facts right; Lewis was indicted. At his trial, some witnesses changed their testimony from what they'd previously reported.

At least the Pats don't need a murderer to help them win games.

Avatar was great eye candy (especially in Imax 3D), but not much else. For me, the worst part was that, having shot his wow-factor load in the first half of the movie, Cameron not only didn't have anything cool and original for the climactic battle scene, he actually just re-used the climactic battle scene from…

I agree with brain_slug about Old Time Rock and Roll. It's like when yuppies go to a Jimmy Buffet show and think that they rocked because they recognized the smell of pot smoke.

Note that I did not mean to imply that I don't enjoy her breasts.

Anna Paquin?
Really? I like True Blood, but she's just awful in it.

My 1967 Dodge Coronet was decidedly not bad-ass. It was a black four door, but the front doors were sky blue. I looked like a long-haired Sheriff Andy Taylor in that thing.

I knew a guy who (literally) got all teary-eyed when one of the ferrets died in Beastmaster 2 (or was it 3?). That guy is dead now, and, yes, he did pretty much die of stupidity.

Just watched Congo last night. The best thing about the movie is the apparent blast that Tim Curry and Ernie Hudson are having.

Islay whisky
Andy, thanks for the tip on the Islay blend. I'll have to look for that. My usual cheap whisky is the Bowmore Legend, an Islay single malt, which retails for about $27.
