Having passed through Baltimore when our car's alternator died, the highlight was being able to coast down the interstate exit ramp right into an auto repair shop next to a bar where the bartender didn't give a crap that we were 18, charged us like $1 for "shots" that were like 3oz, and joined us in drinking the…

Bono line aside, I've always had problems with Do they know its Christmas? Look at the chorus line:

So what you're saying is that you don't give a shit about Fort McHenry? You think if that Star-Spangled Banner wasn't still there we'd have gotten The Wire? Priorities, man. Priorities.

C'mon man. You totally know that Africa would be one big happy country free of poverty, disease, and unwanted shenaniganism if the Euro colonialists hadn't sliced it up and fed off its bounty. Fuckin Belgium.

I like "it seems that". Then it's ambiguous, cause maybe you mean that it looks like something, but it's not really that something. Or you just don't know and you heard something about something that sounded like it and you sorta remember it, and you're damn sure that a few more vodka shots will bring back the…

I'm just gonna cut through all the chatter and say I hate Christmas.

When you are surrounded by sycophants, it is tough to know what not to say.
Alternatively, he is trying to find a limit to just how big of an asshole he can be and still reel in the latest naive celebrity in that magical moment between when she's gotten super-famous for being in some YA-fiction based mega-hit and her…

I did, despite my general ignorance of popular music, see a section of an interview with John Mayer wherein he complained/bragged about his issues with porn. Poor fellow reported that despite all the totally hot actresses and models he wonderlands all over, he can just go on the internet and see hundreds of nude women…

There are times when it really is true that ignorance is bliss. Not total ignorance, ask me about the geologic, demographic, and linguistic history of the northeastern Atlantic littoral seas region (that's your stretch from Great Britain to Finland) and I'll bore your ass off real quick. But the more time spent…

Yellowbeard had…David Bowie dressed as a shark.

Today's Lesson: Just because you think it, that doesn't mean you have to say it.

I have been drinking PBR out of the can for over 20 years and now I gotta worry about it "meaning" something other than, "yeah, I'm gonna drink all 12"?

Great, like I didn't already have enough distractions from reading the stuff I said I was going to read…and Netflix suggested What Not to Wear when I stuck it on my list of stuff to watch, and I will gladly watch Stacy London wear anything.

when i was about 7, my uncle was visiting and to impress him, i filled a cup up with sugar. Then i went proudly before him and said "look uncle craig, i can eat sugar!" and downed the cup of sugar. Then i went to the bathroom and threw up.

I'm confused.

Is true. And hewing even closer to the original question, aside from the song Young Americans, I can't stand the album Young Americans. And to think that Bowie, John Lennon, and Quincy Jones all got together and all they came up was that piece of crap Fame… but at least it's not the cover of Dancin' in the Streets…

I have not seen but parts of it. Nothing against Citizen Kane in general, but I find that most films from the B&W era, and many from the 50s, 60s, 70s, have a casual sense of racism and sexism. Even if it's not directly stated, the bias toward straight (acting) white men is like there's an annoying soundtrack playing…

Yes. Vampires, werewolves, fey enchantresses, hell, just about anything that doesn't come in the "Oriental Adventures" supplement.

We got some pretty low standards for "art" here. Dollhouse? Barely anyone could "get into" Dollhouse. That's why it was canceled.

For a while, I couldn't look at brick buildings without seeing imaginary downward motion.
