Let's not even talk  about the crew from 'Birth of a Nation.'

I know, right? I'll never be a svelte guy either, but I don't breathe like that when I'm sitting down. A couple of flights of stairs can do wonders.

@avclub-e84eae1729e82fb7e909a7108dcccd20:disqus Ah, thank you! That memory just sort of surfaced, with no context at all. That was going to drive me nuts.

Good point. Or maybe a Tibetan monk. They can totally dissolve themselves.

I've seen it happen. People put down really short carpet. Not a good idea.

I work in a building where Will Rogers probably farted on several occasions.

I seem to remember seeing some show where John Lydon buys a letter written by Sid Vicious that someone was handling with tweezers and white gloves. He then sneers and sets it on fire. Sadly, I don't think he did it in front of the seller. I don't remember what the fuck that show was, but it was pretty funny.

I like the Frank Black song, 'Man of Steel.' I was thinking it also had a good version of 'I'm on Your Back' by Foo Fighters, but I think that's on the X Files movie soundtrack.

It would have been a much more interesting movie if the protege was a toy store. Maybe not better, but interesting.

I reviewed movies for the local weekly at the time, and pulled the short straw on this one. The thing I focused on is that Mr. Magorium commits suicide. They make it seem like he whimsically fades away one night, but he clearly chooses the time and place for his demise. I always imagined Mr. Magorium hanging himself…

azing zing sippety Sacramento, I wanna put my Mento in your Sorrento Valley, yo…

Yeah, I remember 'Give it Away' being the first single/video, but everyone who would like 'Under the Bridge' later thought it was too weird and it didn't get much play. Then Keidis ran down the street with his man-boobs a-flappin', and the teenage girls ran right out and bought the album.

Red Hot Chili Peppers is so disappointing… I first got into them when Mother's Milk came out, listened to the older albums, then bought the Sex Magic one. Listened to it nonstop. If you remember, there was a good 6-8 months between the album's release and 'Under the Bridge' being released as a single. I hate to say…

I am a camera, a camera am I!

*chanting* Lo-gic fight! Lo-gic fight! Lo-gic fight!

Thought experiment: There's a respected sci-fi writer with a terrible secret. He tries to keep it a secret, but one day it comes to light that this man has two buttholes. Once this is revealed, everyone realizes the second butthole is on the guy's face. He gets diarrhea and then no one likes him anymore. The end.

I know, right! Wendell was wearing that awful wig, and Julie was all like, 'when are you going to pierce my vajayjay?' I told her I would do it when she paid me back for those shoes I bought for her poodle.

At least I'm pretty sure that's Karen Black…

When I was a kid I listened to my parents' copy of the Easy Rider soundtrack a lot. There's a pic of her and Dennis Hopper inside the fold. Karen Black is wearing these fishnet stockings that made a real impression on me at 12 or 13. Kind of lame, but that's my primary memory of her.

Cool story, bro time:
I went with a couple of friends to see PE here in OKC when the opened for Anthrax. It was an extremely weird lineup, because Primus of all bands opened for PE. You can imagine it was almost all redneck metalheads waiting for Anthrax to come on, and they kept booing and throwing folding chairs all…
