Dude. Brantford? Wayne Fucking Gretzky.

Look, I’ve been waiting a long time for this. Just let me have it, alright?

I just thought that meant Nazareth were finally cool again

I don’t really dislike “Lover’s Rock” but it’s definitely my least favourite song on an otherwise perfect album. (and I really like “Four Horsemen”).

You didn’t mention “The Right Profile” or “Death or Glory” and therefore your opinion is invalid.

Ha! I didn’t realize the theme either. So, did they go a whole week without covering “Teenage Suicide (Don’t Do It)”?

CODPIECE! CODPIECE! CODPIECE!

Y’know, when I read “The Clash’s Best Song” in the headline I was prepared for some arguin’, but damn it, you picked the right one.

Agreed. I just discovered this feature with the last edition and immediately went back and read them all in one sitting. I’m not really familiar with her standup yet but her writing is hilarious and insightful and is becoming my favourite currently running column here.

Yeah, but generally those people aren’t given the opportunity to blather away on TV.

Thank you for mentioning “retard”… I meant to bring that up as well. I’ve had a much harder time removing that word from my vocabulary – it wasn’t a word that I ever really intended in a hurtful manner; it was generally a friendly term of endearment among my friends (as in “hey, what are you retards up to tonight?”)

Fuck dude. I was afraid to read this article because I knew that quote would be in there and it’d make me cry again and here I am tearing up at my desk.

I’m in my late 30s and we said it A LOT from middle school to early high school when it started to decline – presumably as a combination of my friends and I maturing a bit and changing social morés. I haven’t used the word myself in probably 20 years now and I seriously can’t even remember the last time I heard it so

Yeah, if anyone ever started recording me on my daily commute I’d quickly be brought before the Hague

Red Ryder – Lunatic Fringe
The Cult – Revolution
Sonic Youth – Superstar
Old 97s – Let The Idiot Speak
Rolling Stones – Rocks Off

Nice! I just discovered I get that channel… sometimes. Watched some Barney Miller and Sanford and Son the other night and it was glorious.

I used to play in an absolutely atrocious band in college and every show we played we used the name of a different fictitious band from a TV show – first we were Rainbow Lobotomy (from a Diff’rent Strokes ep), then Gourmet Scum (from Degrassi), The Queen Haters (from SCTV), and we were going to be Scum Of The Earth

Great. Now I have two irrational fears – dropping stuff in the toilet and having my stuff stolen while I take a dump.

Dropping something, anything in the toilet is one of my greatest irrational fears. I empty all my pockets and take off my watch, wedding ring and glasses every time i enter a bathroom.
(I also clutch all of my possessions extra-tight every time I walk over a sewer grate outside).
