Q*Bert? Cunt. Feed him to the pigs.

Thanks for the thoughtful response, Mr Leprechaun, and that clarifies things. I've just been noticing 'single defining trauma' thing too much and jumped the gun. The last book that really disappointed me that way was Elizabeth Hay's Late Nights on Air. It got many critical plaudits in the Canadian press (not to…

What's with all the coloured elephants anyway? There are pink ones, and white ones, and there's even some in rooms (colour unknown). Me? I saw a grey one once. At a circus.

The One Film…That Changed Everything
"Robert K. Elder's new collection, The Film That Changed My Life: 30 Directors On Their Epiphanies In The Dark operates from the same assumption as many flawed biopics: that the work of an artist can be boiled down to a single defining moment. Can a single film really change a…

The Tragedy…That Changed Them All
I'm not saying that this isn't a good book or even questioning Ms Wernecke's review, but I get a little tired of all the books out there whose central conceit is that there was that one moment that defined them all and forever set the characters' lives on an irreversible path. It…

I found this review to be unnecessarily snarky to Gang of Four, for no apparent reason (except for a point about the Ex continually getting stronger, which could have been made in other ways). Can't we like both bands?

Wow. That's gotta be the first time anybody's wanted Dean Cain in something.

Professor Cuntburglar on the other hand… We have some heavy hitters in this thread.

I don't mean to sound racist, but I don't think I'd go to a psychotherapist named JP McPickleshitter.

Hey, it's that cat with a melon on his head again! Hi there!

I have a lot of money! In coins! Also, self confidence is overrated. I guess I'll find some other username to marry.

Will You Marry Me: Okay, I'll marry you, I guess. I'm pretty ugly though, just so you're warned.

Hmmm. It really makes you think. Actually, it doesn't. What are you talking about?!?

I would this story if it's a total ruse. Also, conspiracy theories? Really? Don't we have better things to spend time making shit up about? JFK? Well, I killed him.

I've seen cooler goblets.

Ouch
Wow, that's harsh. This is why I think 'meh' has a place in ratings. An 'F' would signal it's so bad that it's good. This 'D' just indicates it's a horrible piece of shit that nobody should waste time on.

Nah, I just sound like a dick, full stop. Sorry Lovecraft; I'm pretty drunk.

If you're an English major Lovecraft, can you at least capitalise? I know I sound like a dick, but really, if you're going to advertise being an English major…

I got into Archers of Loaf thanks to Noel Murray's column where he revisited all of his past music (by the way, Noel is the greatest unsung writer on this site). I prefer Crooked Fingers, but AoL are amazing as well. Living in Lithuania, I will never get to see them live, but I still enjoy their music.

I drank three bottles of wine and made up some shit about public policy. Weekends, eh?
