Fuck you! I like my Edison cylinder player. The 4 minute Blue Amberol cylinders are the cat's pajamas. One of the bearings on the spindle is seized, though… not sure how to get access to it. What kind of world do we live in where a music player can barely eek out 100 years of service?

Fuck you, I like my minidiscs! I'm not even Japanese, either. I blame Sony for killing another of their potentially good-great products with their iron fisted fisting. The 1GB discs are fantastic.

Farm Equipment is Scary
It'll rip your arms clean off.

Don't forget Revv Me Up from Brock's training montage:

Owls are Assholes.

I forgot about Tom Petty. I think that the problem is the dissonance created when they fill the field with pretty young people who are pretty clearly not fans of the band.

I keep a
Fuck ewe in my back yard.

That's what she said when I caught her changing my sheets.

Half-way serious…
Can I contact him and ask for a grant?

Quest for One Eyed Willy to his rejection could be a phallic to genital phase. A self-absorbed quest to an understanding that it was time to sublimate that drive and take a more productive and socially beneficial path. It's a metaphor for leaving adolescent egocentrism behind.

I listened to Siamese Dream repeatedly, I can still occasionally pop it in an enjoy it. But I have to agree with IK about Corgan's voice. I honestly never listened to the lyrics or knew what any of the songs were about because I didn't give a shit. I liked the music and the guitar work. When they showed up on The…

I believe that this is the first mention of this "accent" issue. What brought this up?

Obama does take on a slight "preacher" tone from time to time, but he is generally saying something. If you can't follow words or sentences very well and just take your cues from someone's tone, then his oration might just seem showy. But I think that the satire was more general and targeted politicians who don't say…

Mr. McFeely's cousin.

"I'm honestly not trying to make this sound gay."
"No, it's just turning out that way."

I'm generally a fan of surreal(ist) hellscapes, so I'm surprised that I'd never seen it before. When I stumbled across it, I passed it on to a friend who spent her formative years at a school in Switzerland and she'd never seen it, either, so I guess it's also obscure if you're a product of the Swiss educational…

Garden of Earthly Delights
I don't know if that painting is considered to be obscure or not, but I don't think that I'd seen it until this year… anyway, pretty cool for a painting, especially for being from the early 16th Century. I've seen this episode before, but never caught the reference. Then I saw the still and…

I've seen the burbs somewhere around a million times, and I didn't know that Godlsmith did the score; no wonder it's awesome (and recycles elements of Patton's theme).

I'm against anything that legitimizes Larry the Cable Guy's douchery.
