Hipster Runoff gave a shit. I think.

Watch it, Bratley!

That's what the teach you in Criticism 102!

I haven't had my misery tickled in a very, VERY long time.

I was under the impression that he improvised all of those musings.

You know, not every television show has to be about the failings of late capitalism, Mr David Simon.

Rural southern Louisiana is a pretty economically deprived place despite the potential for a more inclusive arrangement of resources and industry.

Remember: The passion for destruction is also a creative passion. Or something.

I can't watch this video, but the still makes it look like he's signing. Is he signing? I hope he signs.

Is "ATOWN" Aspen? If it is, there's a new depth of weirdness here. Though, I bet it's Aurora. It's always Aurora, dammit.

Are you James Woods and was Debbie Harry the woman? Cuz, you might be in more trouble than you think.

The Kindergarten Teacher + Policeman = Kindergarten Cop

I liked the jacket. Hail satin!
