Little-known fact: the original draft of the book ended with a Russian-born anarchist heaving a nail bomb through the gates of the Emerald City.

Because said clothes are being worn by someone who clearly thinks a lot about their appearance, but the clothes themselves look like they came out of a U-Store-It. Not true in every case, of course, but I'd say it's a safe bet.

There are a LOT of masturbating homeless people in DC.

Whoopsie daisy.

As big as it is, and with all its colleges, DC should be well overdue for a music scene, but I'm not sure it'll happen anytime soon. With apologies and respect to Bad Brains, Ian MacKaye, etc., that town is just not conducive to any kind of coherent arts movement. When I lived there, most of the "local" bands…

Loved the Pumpkins. They haven't worn as well for me, but I still listen to SD and MCIS every now and then (the latter with a LOT of track-skipping). They still rock my socks off, consistently and thoroughly.

If Siamese Dream is bloat bloat bloat, what do you call Mellon Collie?

"Self-aware genre films" could be a whole inventory unto itself. Seems like these types of movies generate more comments around here than any other. e.g., anything directed by Paul Verhoeven.

Or, if he doesn't respect commercial structures, he at least recognizes their utility, especially when you have a deadline and you've wasted months of your life trying to craft something that is 100% "pure."

Commenters who make disparaging remarks about other commenters are loathsome, irredeemable scum who deserve to burn in hell.

"What the fuck do hipsters have to do with this"

The real question is, what will her breasts produce next? I'm guessing Spanish doubloons.

Eh. This is the fucking Algonquin Club compared to 90% of the Internet.

I included Thief as an example of a story-driven FPS that hooked me, yes, in the first five minutes.

Sex in the Simpsons has always been a slightly more risque version of classic sitcom marriage sex. Which is to say, it's only a few degrees more explicit than Cliff and Clair Huxtable sex. Lots of pillow talk, "the spark is gone" jokes, "the kids walked in on us," "snuggling," Marge's sexy thing with the things, goofy…

Happiness is a warm Munn.

Just go back in time and buy yourself a hooker. That's what I did.

These are the books your family gets you when they know you're interested in pop culture. When my wife & I were first together, my in-laws would shower me with Simpsons crap every Christmas.
