Brains Benton mysteries? I used to find those at local used book stores…

All together, now: THANKS, OBAMA!!!

Oh Lord, and the karate classes… trying to do flying kicks and stuff from ninja movies out in the back yard. Now I'm moving from embarrassment into nostalgia.

Poke out your eyes, and move to Portland…

Born in '74… I wore fingerless lifting gloves out in public when I was 10. I also occasionally wrapped a bandanna around my hand like Billy Idol and secured the end with an Iron Maiden pin. I also thought ninjas and Conan the Barbarian were the coolest. Those times were… difficult.

Yeah, it's best that way. I've tried playing good music for my daughter, but she just wrinkles her nose and says it's not as good as Taylor Swift. But she's eight, so maybe in a few years she'll discover the good stuff for herself…

Joke's on you… he's actually Shia LaBeouf.

He has a lot of connections in Tinseltown… he's not one of them Outsiders.

100% agreed. If you're going to smoke filterless, Pall Malls are the way to go. Damn, now I kind of miss smoking, too…

Dammit, everyone always goes to Tulsa. I think it's just the indie cred of Caine's Ballroom. Oklahoma City has some good places to play too… it sucks that we all have to drive an hour and a half to see halfway decent bands.

I'm a little bit confused by that picture. So they each have a popsicle which contains the other clown person? I don't think they're each reflected in the other's popsicle, because the clowns in the popsicles have on different clothes. Why are they so excited about eating each other?

I think this movie is highly underrated as a so-bad-it-rules genre flick. The way they blend weird Korean mythology with bad kung fu movie tropes is what sets it apart. And Robert Forster, who spends his screen time seeming just as confused as the audience, is delightful. Also, inexplicably, Craig Robinson.

Yes! Feck! Drink! Girls!

Oh, Cliff

I feel like a hipster is someone who adopts a non-mainstream interest in order to gain entrance to a social group or appear to possess positive qualities associated with people who share said interest. For example, most types of geeks are thought to be intelligent, so one may try to present oneself as a 'geek' to…

13 Point Program is fantastic, but Plays Pretty for Baby is on a different level, IMHO. It took me a while to get into it because it's so dense and layered and the structure feels non-linear and weird. But totally worth the effort.

It's a little embarrassing in retrospect, but I put that song on the mix CD I made my wife soon after we started dating. It was kind of a litmus test, I guess.

What a nice thing to say! My acid days are way behind me, but I've always had a soft spot for Janeane Garofalo since then.

That movie is very relaxing when you're tripping on acid and you're inexplicably afraid that someone is going to come over and try talking to you.

It's not that he's fat, it's that he's obviously one unhealthy motherfucker. I want him to finish the goddamn series before he strokes out over a plate of cheese fries.
