I just want my kids back

Last Days of Disco isn't nearly as good as Barcelona or Metropolitan.

"Apparently Dowser originally HAD lines but Derrick O'Conner found it more amusing to just repeat everything Bob said."

I'll be honest, I like the shirt as a weird piece of pop art.

I'm late to this discussion, but here's a pretty interesting comic about the artist/writer's memories of going to high school with Dahmer.

It's absolutely worth watching. And this is coming from someone who hates Star Wars.

I always saw ads for it in the BART. When I finally went to their website, I got the impression that they focused on corporate entertainment

"2) I hope you're a girl/woman—otherwise you're a gigantic pussy for running with a steak knife."

" does not typecast himself into stereotypically gay acting roles"
