In his defense, it was his birthday and he really wanted to do it.

"But there was nothing wrong with the characterizations in Marvel's cosmic line under Dan Abnett & Andy Lanning.  The characters were already in good shape."

Opie and Anthony has always been a much better show for promoting standups: Jim Norton, Patrice O'Neal, Bill Burr, Louis CK, Bob Kelly, Jim Jefferies, Amy Schumer, Rich Vos, Colin Quinn, Jay Mohr, Joe Rogan, etc.  Opie and Anthony can be jackasees, but unlike Stern, their egos are strong enough to stand not being the…

Most mash-ups are a waste of time, but "Folsom Prison Gangsters" Johnny Cash and Eazy E is kind of great:  http://www.youtube.com/watc…

Charles Dance would be pretty good, but my pick has always been Brendon Gleason.

I believe the description of Shadow's skin color was "coffee & cream" or something like that.  If you're casting based on physical appearance, The Rock is easily the best choice.

20 minute long solos are self-indulgent horseshit.  I love all of the YLT albums I own, but I'm suddenly glad that I've never seen them live.

Catherine Keener.

If I remember correctly, Rodney is due back for at least two more episodes this season.  Back in the fall when Jefferies was doing a podcast, he mentioned how much he loves working with Nick Daly and he hopes to add him as a full time cast member if the show gets a second season.

The division between the mainstream comics and the art comics is somewhat arbitrary.  I wouldn't call Punk Rock Jesus or The Manhatten Projects mainstream, no matter who they're published by.  On the other hand, Darwyn Cooke's Parker is published by IDW, a fairly major publisher, and not that different from anything…

Whow! You're pretty smart, Beavis.

I love most of the videos for the New Romantic bands, but I always thought the video for "True Faith" was a big pile of horseshit (the director's video for FYC's "She Drives Me Crazy" is equally shitty).

"I was like you once. Blond hair. Scraggly little beard. Childlike ears. Full of beans and spunk. I let my principles get in the way sometimes. I punched a bloke in the face once for saying "Hawk the Slayer" was rubbish."
"Good for you."
"Yeah, thanks. But that's not the point, Tim. The point is I was defending the…
