Dang. Just out of curiosity, if Girl #3's Mom was such a big shot in the Party, why did she have to share a shitty little apartment with her daughter and two random college girls? Why couldn’t she get something much better for herself and her daughter?

We don’t even need hypotheticals here - there is all kinds of caustic and edgy comedy today. Look at Louis CK, Sarah Silverman, It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia, and a zillion other examples. I’m always baffled when people say “Comedy is dying because everybody’s too sensitive” because it is obviously and…

It is kind of funny that the actuarial tables have settled on 25 as the magic age for adulthood. Neuroscientists have shown that the prefrontal cortex, the most advanced part of the human brain which controls higher reasoning and emotional states, almost literally the thing that separates us from the animals, isn’t…

John Cleese used to tell a story about something that happened when Monty Python was doing a live tour through North America in the 1970's*. They had a matinee and an evening show at some civic center in Toronto (or Ottawa?) and the matinee was a disaster. Almost every sketch fell flat somehow, and there was only mild…

“Nazi Punks Gamers Fuck Off”

Don’t forget class #7, the “goblinoids” of sword-and-sorcery fantasy: goblins, orcs, ogres, trolls, giants, whatever.

Besides letting the creep down easy, this approach carries the implied threat/deterrent of the idea “if you don’t leave me alone, my husband/boyfriend will make you leave me alone” - still unfortunate that this is necessary, but whatever works, I guess.

There used to be only a few pumpkin beers, and the prices were reasonable. Now it seems like every craft brewery has jumped on the bandwagon, yet somehow the prices have gone way up.

Anyone here ever see Magical Shopping Arcade Abenobashi? I took a risk and bought the DVD set after reading someone’s comment likening it to Fooly Cooly as a comedy anime spoofing anime conventions and otaku interests. The risk paid off, and it has become a favorite of mine.

“Use the Force, Harry.”

She is never sophisticated, a girl you cannot really have. She is a young, healthy, simple girl - the girl next door . . . we are not interested in the mysterious, difficult woman, the femme fatale, who wears elegant underwear, with lace, and she is sad, and somehow mentally filthy. The Playboy girl has no lace, no…

Nothing. Somewhat surprisingly Playgirl was founded by publishers who wanted to make a “Playboy for women” but who had nothing to do with Hefner.

No wonder nobody’s commenting - I’m not sure this ever showed up on the home page at all.

As recently as a year or two ago these threads could get four or five hundred posts, then it dwindled to two or three hundred, and now it’s just a few dozen at most. Tumbleweeds.

Firsties!

If only he would drop the iPhone he uses for tweets down the memory hole and then use doublethink to forget that he did it.

AV Club fail proofreading? That’s unpossible!

Hello? Anybody out there?

The same entertainment law bullshit delayed for years the release of B&B’s kinda-sorta spinoff series Daria on official legal DVD, and even then most of the cool 90's music which had set the mood of the show got stripped out and replaced with generic instrumental Muzak-type stuff. Also somebody at the MTV storage…

Trump thinks he’s Caligula and the NFL players are disobedient gladiators who are supposed to be fighting for his amusement in the Colosseum.
