Sounds like something even Joel/Mike and the 'bots would have trouble livening up.

Just put me down for two hundred on "sometime before July" and call it good.

@avclub-e57f718840a576abbb40a7d046c4e3b0:disqus has been waist-deep in the Tyson Zone (pardon the TV Tropes lexicon) for some time now, so even if making up HDB stories wouldn't be like making up Bushisms, nothing about the stories we hear from him sounds too absurd to be believable. He could spend the next seven…

I've had that happen to me too. Urk. Thanks for reminding me.

Confidential to Mr. Dyess-Nugent: Thank you for saving me the trouble of having to articulate the sheer, primal revulsion The Sound of Music has always inspired in me. "A lobotomized bucket of treacly slop with Nazis on top" is right on target. Also, while we're on the subject, TSOM also loses 50,000 karma points for…

I second every word of that. Crash is far from great, but "dogshit" is not a word I would throw at it.

I could go either way on Out of Africa. It has its good points, but it's too pokey for its own good and Robert Redford not even bothering with the accent can pose as a major sticking point.

Cardiacs - As Cold as Can Be in an English Sea
Wire - Map Ref. 41 N 93 W
the Fall - The Classical
Comus - Song to Comus
Van der Graaf Generator - A Plague of Lighthouse Keepers
Napalm Death - You Suffer

The big ones for me would have to be Peanuts, Pearls, Foxtrot and the Far Side, with Dilbert and Calvin and Hobbes fighting it out for the No. 5 spot.

Hsu and Chan was always one of the first things I'd look for in a new issue of EGM. That link's going straight into my browser bookmarks.

The scene described in the opening paragraph sounds like something out of a latter-day Family Guy episode. Jesus. Were the people who made this serious?

Agreed, but it's not like there aren't parents in this world who are so overprotective or unpermissive (or insecure, controlling, manipulative, flat-out cruel, some other negative description…) that they can't ever let their children lead independent lives or conduct business on terms set by anyone other than the…

There should be some bran muffin batter in the fridge, but I don't think I have everything one needs for a proper, non-MacGyvered martini. Sorry 'bout that.

Oh, definitely. Fall into that trap (as I have) and what could be some of the greatest times you might ever have will slip right through your fingers (as has happened to me).

I agree with the posters above me. You did good, @disqus_lpt5Yf28Le:disqus. You've earned both a cookie and a beer. 'Scuse me while I go grab some for us both.

Last I checked, Go Fuck Somebody Else was a trap card. You can only activate it when one of your opponent's monsters damages your LP outside of their Battle Phase, but it'll let you Special Summon a Level 4 or lower monster from their deck to your side of the field in face-up Attack Position.

Couldn't put it any better myself, because fucking the ex's friend would be an incredibly stupid thing to do.

Liked for the comment/avatar synergy.

Is this Dan Savage's basement you're talking about, by any chance?
