It turns out it's man.

A black negro? Mark? Are you sure?
Hate! Hate! Hate! Ugh. I'm glad Radio Raheem didn't live to see this day.
I haven't commented on how awful the idea behind this feature is since the first one was posted. Does that mean the statue of limitations has expired on when I may say it again? Because this feature still sucks. Thank you.
I saw a video once of Chip Taylor, who wrote the song, performing it, and prior to starting, he gave a little speech about the Shaggy version, and how odd it had been for him to hear it…but that he'd met Shaggy, and they'd gotten along nicely, and oh, by the way, the royalties he got from it were really nice, too.
Damn you, I was going to post this one. Fantastic song. Bon Iver's cover of it was also pretty heartbreaking:
That song is ostensibly about Carl Newman and his wife, both of whom were with other people when they first met…so, in that sense, it wasn't *quite* a one-night stand. :)
IT NEVER DID:
Well, sir, you certainly live up to your surname. Yes, sports are evil and awful and anyone who takes part in them, especially at the scholastic level, hates art and poetry and anything to do with beauty in the world, much less education and science and subjects other than drinking brewskis and beating up the…
Oh, crap, here we go with the "FOOTBALL MEANS RAPE CULTURE MEATHEADS JOCKS BLAH BLAH BLAH." Please, don't do that. There are an awful lot of us out there who played the game, loved it, and yet, you know, aren't rapists or enablers of rape culture.
Yep! That, and "Sports! Go team from one city, and beat the other city's team!"-type stuff to indicate that even the merest interest in athletic competition makes one an unwashed Philistine.
My favorite part of that Budweiser Clydesdale commercial is the unseen button in which the horse's handlers come charging around the corner, freaking out because the horse ran free and they're worried it might be rampaging through the streets of Chicago, trampling children and any adult too slow to get out of its way.…
2 H's and one O, good buddy.
Yeah, I loved this article, but they should have published a TL;DR version, of which the text would simply be, "Yes."
Discworld, for me. I think I might actually enjoy Pratchett's writing style, but I can't seem to motivate to start a series that is now at 39 books.
Bite your tongue, @avclub-dfd10b577adecd1f6ae8c9a477b0bf2d:disqus ! The albums are meh? YOU'RE meh. Just to cite one example, 2112 deserves to be listened to in its entirety. And anyone sticking with only the greatest hits (although I'd agree that's a good place to start) will miss classic gems like "Rivendell,"…
A friend recently told me that the series has wrapped up, now, with an actual ending, and everything. Is this true? I started it way back when, read the first three books, then realized that Jordan was just going to drag it out forever so he could keep printing money and chucked the whole enterprise. But if it's…
M-O-O-N, that spells, "Give it another try, it's quite a rewarding read."
