@ Bucky: I have Cutter and Bone, but haven't gotten around to it yet. That was a Warren Zevon recommendation, actually.

Ooh, I've got a story for this thread….

Well, Shearer is the only cast member who ever called out the shit quality of the more recent episodes. I don't see him contributing, but he's not wrong…

Shake your body, turn it out if you can-can.

Life Begins at Conception, Man!

Jabbing myself in the eye every morning is so worth it for how hot I look now.

@Corey: Amen. People claim I was born with glasses and a beard, but I've also seen myself getting "younger" as time has gone on. I attribute it almost solely to alcohol.

I do love some Car Talk, but I listened to Wait Wait almost religiously for over a year, and man did it get old. There's only so much superior, smug, self-important snark from second-rate comedians that I can handle before I start throwing up in my mouth a little.

Holy crap - Godine, TVZ, Phil Ochs, William Gaddis - all in the same thread. I think I just had a massive, gushing, tsunami-like orgasm.

It doesn't surprise me that he hates his fans, but his reference to how much fun he had combing through his musical detritus convinced me that he was a complete asshole. Apart from the mustache, that is. That made it…

@danrimage: that was a terrible, awful, unfunny episode. Creepy Oedipal psychosis is not funny. Especially not on whatever-th season Simpsons.

I guess it's not just me
that thinks this season is a schizophrenic mess thus far? This episode is symptomatic of what's wrong with the show this season - disengaged House, forced and poorly characterized new team, inability to decide between new team and old team. It seems like Hugh Laurie's got this constant…
