*snickers* Felix Ng doesn't know how to use the shells!

Play that back; I wanna hear the sound of an elevated train.

Something about a sick horse coming to get us . . .

Spicy Nacho Doritos might also be an option, since with that constant reflux-face there's no way he eats anything even moderately spicy.

It's really not, and "impassive crew members" is kinda bullshit.

What? You pooped in the refrigerator? and you ate a whole wheel of cheese? I'm not even mad. That's amazing.

Some people say that cucumbers taste better pickled!

Suicide in particular can be tough for family and close friends to accept. And in response to J.H.'s post, I wonder if the difficulty "accepting a fairly banal death" might have something to do with the way we talk about particularly common causes of death, like "battling" cancer for example.

You're just copy/pasting that from Goop.

They don't have to know the word to be familiar with the concept.

They do contests where people can vote on new flavors once in a while. I don't know if any of the winning flavors have ever stuck around permanently.

I mean, I like chips just fine, but if I've got a choice I'm going to steal your snacks first.

Nah, nobody is as good at making conspiracy theorists look crazy as conspiracy theorists.

Say what you will, Charles Krauthammer has the best 80s action movie villain name ever.

Cool Ranch Doritos. You're welcome.

It's probably part of his staff's mission to try and keep critical news stories (so . . . most if not all news stories?) from him.

Oh that's certainly true; few of the post-Mystikal songs measure up to the clASSics. It's just that, to me, what makes "90s hip hop" a stylistic category are acts like the Death Row lineup, Cypress Hill, Tupac, Biggie, Wu-Tang, etc.

But Juvenile spearheads a resurgence of booty rap, not a bookend, with "Shake Ya Ass" the next year and a spate of butt songs by everyone from Pitbull to Busta Rhymes to Mos Def in the early 2000s. I just really can't think of prominent odes to the ass between 92 and 98; certainly not ones on the same level as the…

A valid counterargument. I'm wondering if we should just consider 88-92 a mini-era of its own, though. Wrecks-n-Effect still skews 80s to me—Teddy Riley individually might be a microcosm of the whole transition period, what with both "Rump Shaker" and the more distinctly 90s "No Diggity" (kind of implicitly a butt…

Personally, I think of butt-centric hip hop as more 80s than 90s (As Nasty as They Wanna Be was 89, although the obvious pinnacle, Baby Got Back, was 91). It's a fuzzy era, with 90s hip hop gaining significant traction in 88 with Straight Outta Compton and 80s hip hop sputtering out between 92-94, the transition…
