The Agnostic Mountain Gospel Choir were a fucking force in their day—I think they're from the Calgary area.

Tom Waits gives it a shout-out in the sublime "Gun Street Girl". I went there a couple of years ago to take my son to six flags and teach him the value of waiting forever in lines.

Ah Moncton, a.k.a. Hitler's Toilet.

I spent a couple of weeks in the Asheville area once—that's some seriously beautiful country. Doc Watson was great, as was Bascom Lamar Lunsford.

As long as it's done lovingly I guess I'm ok with it.

Ha, clickhole. Funny name. *crams mashed potatoes in his ears and eyes*

Truck nuts were pretty common in Calgary when I was there a couple of years ago. I've seen them in Winnipeg as well.

No one gets into the club but for the grace of noted bouncer Jimmy "Only My Friends Call Me Jimbo" MacEachern.

What's worse—never considering the risk, or ruling out the risk in your head & concluding that the risk would never materialize? My paltry knowledge of crim law, scraped together from grabbing those tins by the cash register where you can donate change if you like the blind, tells me that ruling out the risk is…

Well hopefully she's exempt from having to make toy trains.

We trust that she is in heaven right now, entertaining the souls of the saved with her snappy antics.

Actual question: isn't all manslaughter involuntary, insofar as the person didn't intend death? And if it were truly involuntary—i.e. the person could not control it—why would anyone be convicted of something beyond his/her control?

I saw the word "skronk" once in a review for "Kiss Each Other Clean", and it stuck with me.

Sure, why not?

I thought I was just making up a genre, but I guess there's a Rule 34 for music too.

It's not a sequel—it's more of a porn parody, tentatively called "Choke Us, Poke Us".

At the last slumber party I attended, we all dripped candle wax into a bowl of cold water. My wax took the shape of Tina Fey riding a mechanical gorilla with wheely skulls for feet. Is that good or bad?

"Should the lawsuit proceed, presumably Lohan hopes that this will also be recounted for the legal record." Ha, that's just fantastic—I guess she would have to go through all of her public jackassery in court so that she then argue that the video game character is clearly based on her.

Shepherd's Dog was great, but I liked the style of the Woman King e.p. the best. I could definitely do without all the jazzhands production and skronk/electroskronk on the last two albums, though the songs are generally well written.
