Yeah, I quoted it because I thought it was funny, not out of any genuine sense of having elevated my understanding of Wannabe.

It is actually explained in one of the many books published about the girls in the 90s (and in their newsletter I believe as well).

It doesn’t mean ‘nothing,’ but rather it means anything.

It’s kind of like a Mad Lib…insert what you want where you find that lyric.

It can mean having a laugh with a friend, watching a good…

It's the same basic principle as hiring a food taster to avert poisonings. You bang a few of the friends, and if in a few weeks none of them have chlamydia… well, welcome to Spice World.

That's an odd thing to say. If a work has a self-referential aspect, any criticism of it is automatically invalid?

How could the shutdown be permanent? I just read Leonard Pierce's review of the aftermath.

Man, disqus can't even go down properly.

Okay, here's the plan. You and I get jobs at the bank. Doesn't matter what, just as long as we get in the door. Then, we go in every day. Do the work. Gain their trust until we have them eating out of the palm of our hands. Twenty or thirty years later we walk out the front door, like nothing. ever. happened.

We don't need the recipe, just tell us where whovian lives.

Video game history interests me too, but the Atari/E.T. story has been done to death, so I doubt this documentary would teach me anything new even if I did own an XB1 to view it on.

HE HATES THIS FREEDOM! STAY AWAY FROM THE FREEDOM!

There's still time.

THIS IS OUR FUCKING SHITTY MOVIE

Whenever Jon Hamm's not on screen, all the other characters should be asking, "where's Jon Hamm?"

It was just vapor lock.

Serious answer: obviously he's not producing any new writing, although new posthumous collected writings do occasionally pop up, with varying degrees of added value. There's also D.T. Max's DFW biography that was published just last year, Karen Green's Bough Down also from last year, and the upcoming James Ponsoldt…

Well, everyone knows David Foster Wallace committed suicide in 2008. What this mailing list presupposes is… maybe he didn't?

It was very popular on reddit, and I think I saw an article about it on Grantland. Also it popped up on a mailing list I subscribe to thats ostensibly about David Foster Wallace, so… that was strange. It seems to be making the rounds, in other words.

Yeah, I've been using canistream.it for this exact purpose but this MPAA site appears to have a much better interface/UX. Surprisingly good job, MPAA.

It sounds like an internal monologue Mark Corrigan would have at an especially inopportune time on Peep Show.

So the cops KNEW internal affairs was setting them up?
