I love that joke. There used to be a tshirt with that on it.

I'm trying to get work done around here, Internet.

Dont. Praise. the Commentariat.

I was just thinking that the episode about the Jersey Shore has aged poorly. Good thing "Red Badge of Gayness" remains evergreen.

D-Train! Choo-Choo! I like to give public figures nicknames, I feel it humanizes them.

Hey, as a Jets fan, Bills-Jets is often all I have!

…and I'll be in my bunk.

Well, once rock achieved perfection in 1974, it was time to move on to a new genre of creative expression.

Ha! I'll keep that in mind.

Oh, right. I knew it was changed, but I couldn't remember how. Thanks for clearing that up. You too, @frosstbyte.

Apparently Joss Whedon retconned that away in a comic or something. Really disappointing.

Ha, yeah, that's a good point. I'll have to see how quickly I can finish "Under the Banner of Heaven." My new TV is enormous and it's becoming a serious threat to reading as a hobby.

I was about to say that if its about more than him making poor decisions in the middle of a snow storm, I might have to reread it, but a quick check of Wikipedia shows that "poor decisions in a snow storm" is a huge part of the…

All I remember about it was a passage where he described being overcome by a storm while climbing, pitching his tent to wait out the storm, and smoking his victory joint early. Maybe I don't know climbing, but that struck me as a monumentally bad place and time to be baked.

Ha! Noted.

Cool, thanks. I read "Into Thin Air" and "Into the Wild" in high school, my English teacher really liked him. I don't remember much about either book, which is a shame.

Yeah, I don't think "Going Clear" has any bombshell revelations for the Scientology hobbyist, but the portrait it paints of Hubbard is fascinating. Its a lot harder for me to think of him as an outright conman than before I read it (or watched The Master, honestly).

Yeah, I just meant it was in a similar style, an investigative book that featured narrative elements.
