@avclub-14072b2ff783182847122db384e8863f:disqus That is what the word literally means, but it's apparently become a catch-all term for Korean mafia.

@avclub-b31df16a88ce00fed951f24b46e08649:disqus I can only assume that "turfing out" in this example means "shitting". It's a lovely image!

All-RIGHT! *puts on my robe and wizard hat*

Me and my girlfriend thought the exact same thing (it being a writing exercise), and not like we were speculating, either: we were totally sure of it, because otherwise it'd just be TOO stupid. It was only halfway through the parents' dinner that we went "wait…what? It's supposed to be for real? Noooooo…?"

How can "I have to masturbate 8 times a day" translate to "I need to give myself 8 orgasms?" So if you have, say, 5 orgasms during one session of fuckin', that means you had sex 5 times? Pshaw!

So this isn't a zany disaster movie featuring Rick Moranis' triumphant return to acting?

@avclub-2300d8171ca46be1ee5a72d2837c1b6d:disqus Because of your avatar, I read this comment in a tone of surprise.

@avclub-be5dfeb671c12d7520445b9292e10d13:disqus Aw, dang. Apologies; I did not intend to besmirch the BBC with that crud. I googled "Colour of Magic BBC" to remember the actor's name, and got David Jason. Showing that nobody truly gives a shit.

That's a great description. My childhood was nothing like that of the protagonists, yet I could completely relate to every single emotion.

Fuck yes it is. Come to think of it, Mark Heap with a beard is kinda always how I've pictured Rincewind (and it's close to how Kidby and Kirby draw him as well). For all the sins of the BBC adaptations, old-ass David Jason as Rincewind is one of their most egregious errors.

Apart from the nudity: no. Not at all…not at all…

Thank you kindly! That is awesome to hear; and do not consume it vicariously, but check it out for yourself - two of those things are free on the internet (linked).

Not to be mean, but I am reading a book called Ho! and it's about all your mothers.

Oh no. It seems my neurotic nit-picking might taint another reader's perception of the book! Forget I said something, which might be hard unless…uh…you don't have Alzheimer's, do you?

Your description of The Loving Embrace of Big John Drainos sounds like something MTV would have produced in the mid-90s, a la Joe's Apartment. Good stuff.

Hmmm. I love Pratchett more than anything myself, and like you I favor the Watch books whilst laughing the most at the wizard stories. I'm even 100% with you on Night Watch being the best book of the series. But…I couldn't finish Unseen Academicals. It just seemed so sloppy and unfocused compared to his other books,…

@avclub-d287ab72140b44071e69e6255b859cec:disqus Man, spot on about the new Bowie album (I mention it in my post, too). Great analysis of "Dirty Boys"; there is something very Lodger-esque about a lot of this album in general, although he is of course grabbing tricks from all over his career (directly referenced in…

I have seen JSA, and it is indeed great.

I can't speak for every guy here, but my celebrity crushes are Christina Hendricks and crude pencil drawings of Jessica Rabbit in the nude.
