CN, there's actually a book that purports to debunk the myth: Jerry Lembecke, The Spitting Image. He doesn't argue it never happened, just that it was never a widespread thing. I tend to believe him but he also argues that PTSD is a manufactured diagnosis, which I don't believe though its use to discredit some was

Cho 'nuff
This reminds me of the bit in Margaret Cho's stand up about her mom calling her gay friend "the gay." So old Korea ladies, 6th grade boys, and Egyptian officials have at least something in common I guess.

Sheltie, I think you mean FUCK THE FUCK YEAH!

Also- the helicopters are in better shape and totally won't crash into the C-130. I swear.

Screwtape, you just need some taglines to go with the names. Mary Louise Parker is a MILFy brunette, Mary Stuart Masterson was in Some Kind of Wonderful, and Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio… meh.

Any reference to the Amiga makes me laugh, 'cause I had one, which I purchased right before it became obsolete (1991 I think).

Umm, as noted above, there was a kinda famous movie called Duel by some Jewish dude who also made a movie about a big shark and a guy with a whip…

Yeah, I concur with the above. California is in the vanguard as usual, only instead of industry and culture this time it is in wanting to spend money that it doesn't have (or at least doesn't want to generate through taxes). So actually his time as governor of this avant-garde fiscal mess probably has been great

Tibber, you gotta look at the context of the song- The line "come down in a feed town" follows "ash is cow fertilized" in a song called "In the Meantime." It's supposed to convey feeling trapped in a middle of nowhere environment with little alternative ("to make due is a promise/hard to keep without help") but

Yeah or "Like a fiendish tropic virus spitting bile on you whores/Razor sharp tongue in cheek poking in your open sores."

You gotta be kidding me. Helmet's lyrics are unconventional but awesome in the context of the music. Who the fuck else could make "Downtown Julie Brown" a catchy chorus?

"People jerking each other off, now brought to you by technology."

Um, I am abashed to say this, but motherfucking Cookie Monster is right. Who knew blue baked goods junkies were so full of wisdom?

Will those be dum dum rounds or full mental jacket?

I like the Guac but Spicy Sweet Chili is perfect. I think they straight jacked the recipe from motherfuckers in Thailand but hey Thailand's imploding anyway.

Yes, exactly Seamus- Dr. Pepper is good in general but must be cold from a can for optimum awesomeness.

Y'know, I always thought she might have a cock… wait, pulled out of what now?

I take my AIDS with cream but no sugar but black will do in a pinch.

Taran, we are the only ones that care about realistic mine depiction but it occurred to me that perhaps they are command detonated mines and the SWAT pigs are playing a game where they try to time the detonation for when a ginger is nearby.

Cash made "Hurt" and "Rusty Cage" his own- hell, I like his versions better than the originals (especially "Rusty Cage"- when he sings shit like "burnin' diesel burnin' dinosaur bones" and "rainin' icepicks on your steel shore" it is way more badass than Chris Cornell). So good on Rick Rubin.
