Chemists would melt the candy down and separate the constituent elements. Physicists would accelerate the candy to immense speeds and smash them together. Astronomers would try to stare at the farthest away candy they could possibly see. Engineers would eat the candy.

He's an acquired taste. BZZZZ!

Sometimes you gotta just realize that you directed The Fifth Element and stop trying to top that. RUBY RHOD!

Those two trollops better not mess with Blake! He's Gwen's!

You could take your credit card to the liquor store, and get one for you and two for me…

Loved Silver Age, stoked for this! BOB MOULD!

Super similar. Lifting 80's melodies for current pop songs seems to be a thing. I'm waiting for Mould to lift the the chorus of Paula Abdul's "Cold Hearted Snake"!

I just did a quick Wikipedia check, and it basically agrees that Fleishman did vocals on the first album, with Slaughter in the videos, and then Slaughter on the second album before leaving, and he took Dana with him.

I thought the first album had Robert Fleischman on vocals. Also, the awesome Dana Strum was on bass. Anything with Dana is a win.

Dirk taught me to never, ever be the first one to open the fridge.

Spiderwebs is such a killer song.

Yeah, if you're reading just for plot, and take it's assumptions of which characters are good vs evil at face value, then it's a decent read. If you stop to think about any of the ideas expressed then it's a juvenile piece of garbage. It's like an architectural L Ron Hubbard novel.

You know how Ellsworth Toohey's master plot is to destroy objectively great art by promoting obviously mediocre talents so that he can move in as a cultural tastemaker and take over the world? (Note: I do understand that this was Rand's attempted satirical take-down of post-modern art, which was totally weak bullshit

Thanks. Definitely in my top 10. I'm still a total sucker for "Darmok" and the time-travelin' Mark Twain two-parter.

I think you sold it about right. It didn't hit me until "Last I heard she'd had a baby." Somehow that phrase caught my attention. Then I did a double-take on your name and re-read the whole thing and it was great. Although I've re-read that book many times and been a long-time passionate defender of Holden so maybe

I know some people who were disappointed when Dire Straits added the keyboards on "Brothers in Arms," but man that's such a great album it's hard to be mad at them. And Walk of Life is such a stellar song. But that's the album that got me into the band and probably my favorite albums right now are "Making Movies" and

Your username/comment synergy is really amazing. Your comment is like a mini-Catcher in the Rye updated with modern references. Well done!

James Cameron, probably.

Sigourney Weaver was such a bad-ass in Alien and Aliens.
