I used to work at a movie theater that was right behind the Winchester
Mystery House. Every year on Sarah Winchester's birthday, strange things
would happen at the theater, like the fruit punch machine would be clogged up with paper towels, or one of the films we showed would magically be spliced in the middle. To…

I assume that he responds to your texts with animal bones that he's etched using a scrimshaw.

I was the one who invented the idea of overcoming challenges. Everybody owes me money.

All dressed chips FTW.

Ah, "classy." Irony in a single word.

I was once lucky enough to play in a band that opened up for his old group The Nels Cline Singers. We were playing in a warehouse space, and after my band's first song, someone out on the street threw open the doors and screamed "Enjoy it while you can, because I'm calling the cops!" My band was all taken aback, and…

wtf is starz lol? Let's find out!

They considered themselves Christians. The guy who led the community began his career as a Methodist minister.

Yeah, I'd say the most fucked up thing they did was force parents away from raising their own children, but it was all some pretty weird shit. And they went from being a cult to a still existing (and profitable?) corporation, selling kitchenware. It's the most American story ever.

Before he assassinated President Garfield, Charles Guiteau was, for a while, a member of the Oneida Community, which was a polygamous commune of so-called "Christian Perfectionists." It was the longest surviving communal society in the U.S. before the 1960s, and in many ways was very progressive about women's rights,…

He stopped the set and tried to get the audience on his side by saying, "Why are you doing this? Twisted Sister and Iron…

Pun thread? You make my dreams come true, ArgieBargie!

It's rare to hear a story about Mike Love that doesn't make him sound like a terrible person.

The fact that it is difficult is precisely what's problematic about it. An anthem should be easy to sing, since everybody is going to have to learn it at one point or another. The end result is a song that is tremendously easy to butcher.

OK, if you're talking about blockbuster movies, almost everything has been fucked with by reboots, sequels, etc. It's unfortunate, but it's so ubiquitous that there's really no use in complaining about it. The big distinction between most of these and Ghostbusters is that, instead of just registering annoyance that…

As was Brie.

It's not quite a fetty, and not quite a wap, but…. that's all I've got.

Thanks.
