Sorry posted in the wrong thread like an idiot.

Wasn't Lillard supposed to be her son or nephew or something? I remember him being creepily close with her, but in my memory it was more of a clingy mama's boy thing than a romantic closeness.

"I can't promise I'll try, but I'll try to try" is said at least once a day in my office (usually by me).

Have you heard her recording of the song? I think I actually like it better than the Stones' version.

Was about to say the exact same thing – nothing against Ebert, I'm just not a huge movie buff so I don't read that many reviews, but that really got to me.

I knew someone was going to correct my correction as soon as I typed it.

Shut it down, people. @avclub-eaa88660d97aa2a15400335bcf9d93ac:disqus is on to us.

I like this feature (at least in the abstract – I think it has potential to be really interesting, but in practice it usually ends up disappointing) but I'm firmly on the side of the hatee here too. I'll take the Spin Doctors over Alkaline Trio any day.

Clearly the problem is Canada, because if I were ever interviewed for this feature I'd pick "Diamonds, Diamonds" by Max Webster.

I'm sorry, you just disqualified yourself by ending your sentence with a preposition.
You should have asked "To whom do I send my application?".

Fuck, I'd forgotten about that but I'm laughing now too.

I hated this song back then, but I kind of love it now. It's an undeniably shitty song, but it just brings back warm and fuzzy memories of learning how to drink and going out and acting stupid with my idiot high school friends. it's good time music.

Do you remember that bit when St. Tibulus, he tried to take that banana off the other lad?

"The reason is simple: with the beard I can pass as attractive; without
the beard I look like a pudgy 12 year old who is also somehow a
republican and an investment banker."

That's the shit that takes me the longest – once we get the room somewhat usable it's too easy to ignore all the details like trim and closet doors and stuff.

Absolutely. I've started a nightly "Dance Party!" with my two year old to wear her out before bed and it knocks me on my ass every time. Also, teaching a two year old how to do fake Riverdance-style Irish dancing is never not hilarious.

As a cyclist who generally obeys traffic laws, that shit pisses me off (I'll admit to rolling through a stop sign if there's no one around but otherwise I'm pretty conscientious). Just last week I nearly ran over some fuckwad riding his bike on the sidewalk when he suddenly crossed the intersection in front of me.

Yeah, I've had a full beard (neatly trimmed, but covering my whole face) for about 10 years now and I don't see mine going anywhere any time soon. The response when I first grew it was unanimously positive ("thank god you covered that up!") and I don't think anyone would recognize me now if I shaved it.

@avclub-bfbdeb4ec976be7d7794265c34596fac:disqus I've never actually heard the '80s stuff, but I liked his latest one ("Anomaly" I think it was called?).

Mentioned it above, but the Ace Frehley solo record is possibly my favourite Kiss album. The whole first side is really solid (and "New York Groove" doesn't even show up until side two!)
