Sounds like ethnic talk.

Poor people be stayin' poor.

Yeah, I didn't think he literally was faking his voice [starts to youtube search for Rise of Taj. stops self]. He seems like an affable enough guy and I don't begrudge him work, but I just don't think he belongs on this show. I've liked him fine in the Harold & Kumar movies.

I always feel like Kal Penn is putting on a voice, something overly affected and fake deep. And is it intentional that he doesn't have chemistry with anyone? That he doesn't belong with the gang?

Barney-Ted-Puzzles was definitely the least funny of the storylines. This episode belongs somewhere in the C range.

You lucky bastards.

Bird season's over, butthorn.

Yes, I understand they are finally releasing these again. So is Leviathan Strikes! basically issue 9, and then there's going to be a new #1 out sometime soon? Just collect these already, for people like me. I've actually read 1-8 already; I'd be fine with them not collecting issue 8.

Spot on

Why would you buy a mixtape? These days, isn't a mixtape something a rapper releases for free on the internet?

Claire, if you liked Ja'mie so much (she was my favourite character on SHH too), maybe you should check out We Can Be Heroes for her as that character originated there.

I enjoyed watching Summer Heights High and finding a lot of it funny, but I have a similar problem, in that I never anticipated watching but rather dreaded it. Something about being in the moment was okay, but otherwise, yeah probably straining myself. Only watched it and We Can Be Heroes because a friend lent them to…

Isn't the dean's first name something like Craig?

I have The Death Ship in my large pile of owned-but-unread books. I really need to get to it. Bought it because of how fascinating and mysterious a figure B. Traven is on his own (plus he's the basis for a character in Roberto Bolaño's 2666).

+10 for The Savage Detectives. I love that book. The story of a generation and the decline of a certain idealism. I wish I knew Spanish so I could read it that way, but I still have a hard enough time reading in French to learn anytime soon.

Vampires don't have souls.

White Agent Johnson: Just like fuckin' Saigon, hey slick?
Black Agent Johnson: I was in junior high, dickhead.

I've been reading them in order recently for the first time and I'm only four in, but I thought Tintin in America was easily the worst so far. At least, Soviets had some memorable gags, like Tintin wandering into the facade of a noisy Soviet "factory" to find someone just literally banging on stuff to make factory…

I'm pretty sure "Cash Stall" is in one of the first couple of episodes.

Sorry, you lost cash stall.
