My parents weren't particularly religious (at least not after some priest called them in to lecture them about what horrible people they were for using birth control) and had pretty good taste in music - I learned about the Beatles and Stones from them. But mom had a line in the early 70s, and Alice Cooper crossed…

This reminds me
of the guy from Wisconsin that got arrested for having sex with a dead deer. The guy actually had his lawyer argue, in court, that it wasn't a crime because the animal was dead and therefore bestiality didn't apply.

I never thought I'd say this, but I'm starting to miss Goiden Agouti Gerbil.

NBC had a pretty good adaptation in the '70s called Frankenstein: The True Story. I prefer the first three Universal Frankenstein films to all the others, though.

@Jorge: You're WAY wrong on that one. Boutros Boutros-Ghali is the second most awesome name of all time. The only one that's better is Megawati Sukarnoputri.

I always got the feeling that Cornell required everyone else in Audioslave to try and sound like Zeppelin. That, of course, is a dumb thing to do if you're in the room with the guys from Rage. And kind of a dumb thing to do in general if you're not a Zep tribute band.

I am not a fan of Macallan, but most serious scotch drinkers consider it one of the best.

@i++: That was back when I could afford a lawn care service. It looks much worse than that now.

Ive got a semi-local place that sells the Laphroaig 10-year for $29, which is only two bucks more than the inferior Bowmore Legend. The downside is that the place carries over 150 single malts, so it's really difficult to leave the place without spending more than you planned.

I'm a fan of Ernie Ball Skinny Top/Heavy Bottoms, which are 10, 13,17,30,42,52. I generally get them from juststrings.com.

Hey AV Club! It SUCKS not being able to edit posts!

Yeah, I'm a Gibson guy myself — The only Strat I ever owned is one I built myself and I only ever used it to play 'Highway Star'.

Warren, I'm really jealous about that Plexi head. And speaking of never having too many guitars, whatcha got?

@Councilman Len: You spelled that wrong. It should have read "Shit tastes like awesome."

The Revenge of Vera Gemini FTW.

Do women like this actually exist?
The women I've met over the years seem to be either anti-porn or into the same hard-core stuff as men. I don't know anyone that has access to "real" porn that likes the soft-core stuff like Skinemax and Playboy TV.

Oh, yeah, I've got Breaking Bad, Mad Men & Sons of Anarchy covered already, as well.

S5D2 of The Wire and started re-watching Deadwood.

I used to go to a Dr. Tokson. He was a great primary care guy, but unfortunately, he was killed by a drunk driver.

I REALLY don't understand the thing with dog owners where they seem to think it is perfectly fine for their filthy, smelly, disgusting animal to invade my personal space. This is inappropriate behavior in any circumstance, and, in fact, if you'd left your dog at home, like you should have, it wouldn't be a problem. …
