Take care of yourself. I like your comments.

I like most of Blink 182 and Green Day, and some Offspring, along with almost all of classic punk and hardcore. It's not that hard.

You're Naive, Beer Baron!

Making your own spotify playlist is just being co-opted by the cultural hegemony of the status quo!

Well, more METAL than "And Justice for All" anyway. It's the flute.

Great Scott!

Quit Joshing around, Jose!

Nice. You know it's bad when the actual characters in the story are complaining about how they are wandering endlessly with nothing happening. This happens in some of Williams' other series, too. It's like, "Tad, take a hint!"

Same here.

But with the blast shield down, I can't even see! How'm I supposed to get a light?

One fantasy/sci-fi mashup I liked was Tad Williams' Otherland series. It has some draggy bits in the middle, but the characters are great and he actually managed to end the series after 4 doorstoppers.

And reading them your poetry first!

ZOMG. Sensitive high-school senior me is SO PUMPED for this. I hope Toad the Wet Sprocket is opening.

What's the yams? The yams brought it out of Kanye…

Well, that explains why everyone in your office dives for the floor the second they get the spinning pinwheel.

So "give you everything in my bank account" is the new euphemism for that, then?

We get it, Roland! You really, really like Lady Gaga! I'll like her, too! Sheesh.

Choosing between "Whole Lotta Rosie" and "Creeping Death" is like trying to pick a favorite child.

There's a video of Sandman playing "One" on YouTube (at least for now):

Being cool with a Weird Al cover is as pure of a okay/not okay test as possible to apply to a person. I try to check myself with it as much as possible: "Hey, if Weird Al asked to do a parody of this expense report that I'm submitting, would I be cool with it?" "No?" "Shit, I'm acting like an asshole!"
