Uh-oh, I had been calling him "Mr. The Bernie Mac Show" for years. No wonder my eulogy bombed.

@Dr Strangelove;

So the brain tumor made him do it? Sweet, I'm totally using that defense to get out of all these parking tickets.

When you're blasting the Eagles that loud in your corvette, you can't hear shit. Even with the windows rolled down.

Oh, no strawmen here. Real people in the real life have told me that. "Oh yeah, I guess they're ok, when you're in the right mood . . ."

As a big Iron Chef America fan, I have to say: How is he not going to win this? Dude can do backflips. I doubt DeLay can even pull off The Electric Slide.

AMC is probably my favorite band of all time, and Pearl Jam is my brother's favorite band of all time. He told me that Peal Jam used to cover "Bad Liquor" in concert, but he hasn't been able to track down a recording for me. The two bands toured together sometime after "Mercury" came out. It…

I can dig it. Plus, his tweets are amazing. "AA meeting now, then the bar". "I should be in jail about now I'll tell you…

As long as he doesn't get hit by a bat. I don't think I want to see that armor fly off.

Getting within five feet of Lou Reed will make you addicted to heroin.

Yeah, some of the people I work with are my facebook friends, and I'd rather they not figure out when I'm having a slow work load day by how much I'm suddenly posting to the AV Club. (thank god they have no idea what Twitter is)
