I used to really want one of those Misfits shirts, but never got around to ordering one through the mail back in the day. I'm certainly not paying 28 bucks for one now.

I know… he's making things 'better,' but according to whom? Jimi doesn't OD, but we're stuck with 20 more years of Pat Boone or something.

There's all kinds of weird invasion-of-privacy implications that the show glosses over. Like going to the bathroom… I wonder if Sam couldn't help but compare his wang to all the guys' bodies he inhabits. 'Wow, this guy has a tiny wang!' or 'My God, this thing is like a billy club.' Not to mention inhabiting a woman's…

That totally makes sense, it was so ham-fisted and obviously shoehorned in there. I could never be an actor. If someone asked me to deliver some shit like that there's just no way I could do it with a straight face.

One didactic moment that always sticks out in my mind is an episode where Sam is the grandfather of a Jimi Hendrix-type guitar prodigy who will eventually overdose on heroin. He's still young and is experimenting with weed, so Sam sits him down and explains how smoking weed is going to lead to him getting hooked on…

I felt like that the first time I saw a whippersnapper wearing a Ratt t-shirt, back in the late 90s. I thought he was expressing extremely poor taste in music, he thought he looked cooler than ice cream.

Ha. I still think of Achtung Baby as 'new' U2, like they just changed direction from Rattle and Hum a couple of albums ago. Fucking time…

Well, it's at least good enough to show what a good song it is… maybe you'll get lucky on this here box set bonanza?

@avclub-4caf6aa0375b2499ebfe7e971b36eee3:disqus I was thinking the same thing. I've never been to a strip club, but if I did go, I think in this day and age I would feel chintzy doling out one-dollar bills.

@IndianaBeachCrow:disqus W. is drawing wangs on his face with Sharpie…

You only say that because you're not an artist or writer : )

I usually hate skipping even pages in books, much less whole books, but with the sheer word volume I'd be willing to give it a shot. Thanks for the breakdown… it sounds like you've really felt the pain and know what you're talking about!

I've heard so much about the Wheel of Time series, I finally tried out the first book last year. It just found it extremely slow-starting, and then to hear how effing LONG it wound up being, I'm really not sure I want to pick it back up. Worth it, or not worth it?

What can I say, I'm into the details.

Well I know what my next band is going to be called… look out for Genital Slit's debut EP next record store day.

I find this show idea more appealing than I should, for some reason.

Who gave a dragon head on a beach, now?

Jim Anchower is a saint and is a million times funnier than this guy could ever hope to be!
*runs away crying*

@avclub-0634b340c5a13aa715f1c895fc18ce93:disqus Yes, I got that it's a 'persona,' but if you're going to go around presenting yourself to the world as your 'persona,' and your 'persona' is obnoxious in an unfunny way, I'm probably going to judge you based on your 'persona's' words/deeds.

@avclub-1d04064d540beb34e0cc414561bc6f35:disqus Yes, thank you. I was trying to say basically the same thing, that one doesn't necessarily cause/accompany the other. I'm sure there are a lot of dumb people out there who are depressed as a motherfucker, and a lot of smart people who never rank their preferred suicide…
