Still not as bad as "From the Mind of M. Night Shyamalan"

And I spelled out my intro with

Is it, "you could ask him anything. There was no worry that we would think a particular question was stupid, since he thought all questions were stupid." ?

The history of Revelations in Christian thought is interesting. Luther strongly considered excluding it from his bible, precisely because it didn't have much of what he saw as the message of the gospels. But then he realized that it was useful to have a book around that talked about the Antichrist, so that this…

At the evangelical church in which I was raised, I went with my parents to some special seminar on the rapture. It featured an intro song, in the same style as the Monday night football theme ("Are you ready for some football?"), only the lyrics were cleverly changed to "Are you ready for the rapture?"

@avclub-cf50b28ef624912ff106c57ca9be41dc:disqus  I was thinking of that article a little bit, but I wasn't joking about Chomsky. I've heard him discuss Eisenhower (particularly his administration's investigation into why people in the Middle East actually hate us) far more than any modern republican.

Well, maybe if you were a Hot Girl instead of a Drunk Dave you wouldn't be so haughty about it.

While I'm still skeptical about Kickstarter, even for artists I like, this looks fun. Any of you Bahston bastahds going to check this out? I still haven't been to the Sinclair.

It amazes me how little Eisenhower is brought up these days. Noam fucking Chomsky has more respect for this guy than the republican establishment, it seems.

This particular username pushes this comment from good to great.

This is great. Sort of a softer version of tuneyards (I refuse to use the proper capitalization).

I dig it.

These The AV Club jokes have sort of gotten out of hand, but I think you've obtained the nugget in all of them. Now let's move on.

Oh shit, Jon Theodore! I lost track of him after he left the Mars Volta. Good to know that he landed in a band that I like for completely different reasons.

Well, it's hard to walk into an academic anthropology department these days without being flooded by boy band discourse. It's all "hegemonic practices of band managers" this and "shamanistic rituals of JC Chasez" that.

"Can you blush?"

Quit playing games with our hearts, Genevieve. We've fallen apart from the way that it used to be, yeah.

Maybe the bro culture point is an overstatement. I don't think it's Anchorman specifically, but those kinds of movies about man-children that starred some combination of Ferrell, Ben Stiller, Vince Vaughn, and the Wilson brothers. I guess Old School is the most obvious example. Again, I like Anchorman, I just think it…
