@radio shaq: It's kind of baffling to me too, actually. It's an affectation I picked up from a friend a while back for reasons I can't begin to explain.

If it wasn't for misogyny, there'd be a lot less laughter.

Hirsch was pretty good in Into the Wild, but Into the Wild was not good. Not at all. Of course, Milk was v. good, so your barometer for such things is clearly all outta wack.

It's all about mindset. If you're like me, every week is Shark Week.

It's not everyday that a man is blessed with the chance to quote Southland Tales. Relish this moment.

I've also spent the past 2 days watching 4 episodes of Yo Gabba Gabba on repeat, TA, and it's been AWESOME … but you're probably not as high as I am.

YES! Crazy Gideon is a mad genius.

It must be awfully hard for Camel Man to maintain that perm in such rugged, exotic locales.

Camel Man & Friends
The one in the red shirt looks suspiciously like Tom Selleck.

That was definitely my first thought, Ever So Clever. Awesome, if not exactly obvious, choice for a spokesmodel.

I enjoyed the hell out of it. Not nearly as dense as IJ, but equally clever and absurd. I can honestly take or leave Lenore as a protagonist, but the supporting characters are pretty brilliantly sketched and Rick Vigorous, in particular, is a personal favorite.

Consider the Lobster
In my opinion, this is an equally good place to start. Just a brilliant essay that begins as an appraisal of the Maine Lobster Festival (and a uniquely American brand of gastro-tourism) and devolves into a dissection of the moral qualms implicit in eating the flesh of a once-living creature. As a…

I went through a substantial portion of my life thinking some crackhead babymama named her twins "Orangejello" and "Lemonjello" and I'm really disappointed to find out it's probably not true.

Office Space doesn't count because it's so far removed from the source material, but Wayne's World and Blues Brothers are pretty great. Dudes named Henry who tell you otherwise are lying.

This might never get old.

'Juicy Oozers' is, coincidentally, also the title of the forthcoming directorial debut from recent AV Club interviewee Sasha Grey.

@HippyDaysick: You know that can't be done.

Best ever reply to a first. Truly, sir, you are a god among men.

Can't find this in the wild?
Chicago must be the wrong place to look. Every liquor store within 5 miles of Echo Park has multiple posters out front advertising this sludge, and most have standees of beautiful mexican ladies pretending to drink it. You can tell they didn't actually drink it because the standees don't…

I miss that area like crazy (except the bit about carrying an extra t-shirt everywhere I went for sweat-related emergencies).
