I hate the grading system. We've all been students, some of us recently or still are, and if you've been a student you're going to have a deeply ingrained (and almost entirely fear-based) psychological association with grades. Don't tell anyone paying $10-40,000 a year tuition that a "C" is average, a "C" is failure.…

He may have made some cash on writing comedy, but The Best Show  is a non-paying gig (it's on a community radio station.)

I'd actually give you a few bucks to read what you wrote on monks.

Yeah. I'd like you to show me one person here who would turn down a job writing on Monk.

Sheesh, people. It's a LIVE RADIO SHOW, not a podcast.

"Hair Metal" is most certainly a thing, as much as any of these terms are things, and if Motley Crue is not the very definition of "Hair Metal" then I don't know what band possibly could be. Except, sure, Nitro.

Not necessarily. The number of people who actually post on boards like this are actually pretty few. With most people, they might put up a facebook update here and there or  but that's about where it ends. We're kind of a rare breed, and not necessarily a prized one. And don't take this the wrong way, anybody, but we…

Rock on London, Rock on Chicago. 
Kentucky Fried Chicken: We Do Chicken Right.

On a very similar note… Anybody catch the last few minutes of The Best Show tonight?

To be fair to the good people of the early 70s, he doesn't exactly stand out from his glam-rock peers as the "most likely to actually be gay."

You know what song I hate? "Shaving Cream." You keep thinking they're gonna say "shit", but they just sing that "shaving cream" chorus again.

What about this little gem from "Imma Be"?

I loved Inglorious Basterds and hated Django. IB was audacious, ridiculous and fucked with history in such a gleefully fun alternative universe speculative-fiction way, it's just impossible for me to resist its charms. Django felt calculated and pandering, in no small part because there are really no risks being…

Justified's a great show and tremendous fun, but it's not all that deep. You could pick up with the new season and figure everything out pretty quick.. No need to binge on the first three if you're wrapped up in something else.

I like to think that if Charlie Brown was sick, Snoopy would suddenly start acting like he cares.

Snoopy is also, really, barely a dog. He evolved into a being that's only nominally canine.

Yeah but Peppermint Patty and Marcie were weirdos who were quite obviously from the shady side of town. I mean, Peppermint Patty was a latch key kid of a single dad… I'll skip the obvious joke about Marcy's sexuality and instead say she's clearly lacking any sort of adult authority figure in her life, the way she's…

I'm teaching a parenting class right now entitled "Are your children ready for Beefheart?"

Turtles all the way down.
