explanation
I'm sorry; I should say something a little more solid than what I said previously.
I've always loved "fake bands." I grew up on the California Raisins and Dr. Teeth and The Electric Mayhem, then moved on to The Blues Brothers, Gorillaz, Spinal Tap, The Wonders, you name it. I've always been fascinated by…

Just wanted to say that I enjoyed this.

Fouke Monster
I lived in Texarkana during high school, just a few miles from Fouke. The word around there about the Fouke monster is that it was actually dreamed up back in the Jim Crow days to scare African-Americans away from the area, under the assumption that they are "naturally superstitious." I'm not kidding.…

chik-fil-a
I told them once in Chik-Fil-A that they didn't have to say "My pleasure" to me and I wouldn't tell anyone. I made like 3o new best friends in the time it took to say that one sentence.
I understand courtesy, but getting that uniform response so many times is a little unnerving. (I tend to say "thanks" a lot…

Noel, I never really caught Jem in my childhood, but most of my friends who did watch it told me that it was mostly because she…

i needed this
It's been and will be a long study night, and this was perfect for breaktime.

wow…
I want to be a film critic now. This is one of the neater articles I've seen here.

one of my favorites
Not only is he going strong after 25 years, he's stronger than ever - he got his first Billboard Top Ten album with Straight Outta Lynwood. For someone in the parody business to stay that relevant for that long is incredible.
The vocal arrangements on "Since You've Been Gone" are incredible, all of…

We were talking about this today
I saw this movie in the theater. I was only ten or eleven years old. Even then, as a Batman-obsessed elementary school child, I knew that it was terrible. I was crushed. It shattered my world to be exposed to something about Batman that wasn't the coolest thing in the universe. I still…

sounds reasonable to me
I've really enjoyed what little I've gotten to hear of Iron & Wine, but that's not got much to do with the fact that I find his approach perfectly reasonable. I'll admit that some of the individual interview questions might not be terribly interesting to read, but I like the overall…
