Dear @avclub-d009e8b6ce98ad61a7b7a69cd1ad10d9:disqus,

I have no idea where he went, but I hope he comes back. Savage Dik was as much a highlight of my week as this column and there's something about the idea of an arsehole filling in for a dik that sounds backwards, inside out somehow.

In the (presumed) absence of Savage Dik, I'll be taking everyone's questions this week.

@avclub-32b63dd70d870580128d83e930199e1c:disqus Speaking as someone who has read the first book (and part of the second):

It kinda crushes me to have to say this, seeing how much Palahniuk's work has meant to me in the past, but…it's time for him to put down his pen, take his suitcases full of money and disappear. It's possible that he might have another Haunted or Rant in him still, but most of the evidence points to him being a…

Total fucking buzzkill. And to see this the one week I had an actual question for him (and the commentariat by extension), too.

Now that I know that the Dissolve is a Pitchfuck spinoff, part of me doesn't want to look at it now, even if it is the new home of most of the AVC's old guard.

I'd rather see Robert Osborne full time as well. Ben Mankiewicz I can tolerate, but he's not even A.O. Scott or Christy Lemire, much less Roger Ebert.

Re: the Arab girl: Next time the chance presents itself, just ask her.
No preamble, no pick-up lines, just "hey, are you seeing anyone?" and if
she says no, then you make the date proposal.

I'd take Badmotorfinger over Superunknown any day of the week and twice on Sunday, but The Day I Tried to Live and Like Suicide are career high points.

@Dikachu:disqus Keep the face-diaper on and no one'll notice.

Kanye West can eat shit. Hopefully future generations of listeners will rightfully see him as the comically overhyped, ego-drunk second-rate talent he really is.

She, Kim Thayil and Kim Coletta all had other shit going on.

You think that's bad? I hear @avclub-3a04d36f2c53226d9c27c607cea5e299:disqus bought her a soda and tried to molest her in the parking lot.

My arse is not an erogenous zone, but okay.

That there just became my new desktop background.

Seeing that not a day has passed in the two fucking years since that infamous Dawes article went up that someone somewhere on this site hasn't quoted, referenced or alluded to it, maybe it won't be such a bad thing if "you try living with a clitless mother!" doesn't catch on.

I've said it before and I'll say it again: Bing can take a flying fuck at a rolling donut.
