This makes my head hurt …

It doesn't have to rhyme with anything: This is a fucking migrane factory!

Kanye's social media assistant: I think that's second on the listings of jobs they can't fill even in this economy, right behind public relations rep for al-Qaida.
I had more respect for 'Ye when he was calling out Bush and scaring Mike Myers.

I envision ZMF being a metalhead.
And this is my avatar for a reason.

OF COCK?

Misplaced first reference, I think …
… i.e., he's "Wentz" before he's "Pete Wentz."
Nevertheless, these are pretty enjoyable. When this runs its cycle, they should go do "outside the bubble" as a series.

Totally: I've been doing some technical editing.

Certain to include cameos by …
… Sarah Palin, Sharron Angle, Sharron Angle's other three personalities.

I'd rather see an old Debbie Dunning than a young Pam Anderson.
Refile under "rowr"?

… as well as a Devo song that came out when I was 2!
I may be old and unemployed, but at least I'm not as old as Devo.

Part of the reason "Oriental" fell out of favor is because it's ethnocentric: "Oriental" = "Eastern" = east of the hegemonic Western culture. Shitballs: "Mongoloid" was an acceptable term for two different things when I was in high school.

@ Miller: I wasn't taxing your gig. I was gonna say something snide, but it turns out Lovering played drums with Cracker as well …

Chilean … ny.

David Lovering or David Lowery? Or stop: You're both right?

That reads nicely as a poem. And I like the ring of "tra**y panic," below.
(If I don't asterisk out my n's, am I committing a hate crime? I hope not. Some of those tra**ys could kick my a$$.)

Deep in his underground lair, Ron Howard seethes.
Or maybe it's Vince Vaughn.
(But seriously, dude: "tra**y"? Beware discussing the halfpipe.)
