Ever since I was a kid I've had recurring dreams about being by the side of a lake or river and seeing prehistoric-looking fish swimming around in the water. They're never big fish, or particularly scary or anything, just weird, under-evolved "fish" but I always wake up feeling uneasy.

Oh man, was that like a Starburst with… goo… inside?

What if I know they're gonna shrink but take my chances anyway with clothes that are slightly oversized?

OK. How do you play it?

Don't know how much I miss them, but when I was a kid we used to get "Hotchos" (which I think were like ring-shaped, kinda-spicy Fritos) and "Cheese Willikers" which were thin cheese sticks, somewhere between the crunch of Cheetos and the puffiness of those other kinds of cheese things.

Everybody Knows is my favourite Neil Young too – don't have it on vinyl, though I did score a copy of Harvest a while ago.

Who cares! Did @avclub-18f18df4a6146deb1b97c2c944b9660c:disqus get back to sleep?

My kid's still in the Mega Blox age range but I can build a motherfucker of a castle with those things.

Yeah, I'm still pissed that I spent most of my childhood trying to build Star Wars ships out of primary-coloured rectangular blocks and kids today can just go to the store and buy a kit with instructions and customized pieces.

Ooof. And as soon as you do it once that spot gets all swollen so you keep biting it again.

I saw some "brief jerky" online a while ago (yep, underpants made of jerky).

Holy shit, I can't stop laughing at this.

I don't know, there's a big difference between friendships and relationships though.

Yeah, that's a good example – I mean it's a funny image (guy being dragged behind a horse, reading a magazine) but on its own not all that hilarious. Combine it with Handey's matter-of-fact, sort of childlike description though and I'm stifling the giggles at my desk.

I'm still inordinately proud of the fact that I once bought a wet tile saw entirely with Canadian Tire money. It took the cashier over a half hour to count out all the 1 and 5¢ bills.

Unless I'm completely out of my mind, I saw them perform "Stadium Love", "Help I'm Alive" and at least one other Fantasies song.

Shit, that sounds like an awesome lineup… I can't say I've ever heard anyone mention the Meat Puppets as a great live act (at least recently – their Live in Montana album from the late '80s is pretty great, but that's a long time ago).

C'mon Marah, if you're going to pander to Canadians at least get the details right.
