I still sing that Country Cuckoo Clock Codpiece Zulu Warriors song.

If you ever do an AVC meetup at the Clermont Lounge, I will hop on a plane and meet you there.

My avatar is back. Awesome. And since I'm actually Jim Gray, all you guys need to do is look for me.

Hats off to you for doing the leg work on this. And you don't even live in DC, which makes it all the more impressive.

Good call on those first three. Birch and Barley is just the restaurant portion of ChurchKey, so it's probably not ideal. Just head upstairs for the real deal.

Munich during Oktoberfest is the happiest place on Earth. Do it.

I'm late to the party, so I'll make this quick. First of all, way to go on moving into the city from the suburbs. Northern Virginia is fine, but you've got a more concentrated group of like minded young people here in the District, depending on what neighborhood you ended up in.

This phone thing is fascinating. Does it just apply to online dating?

@avclub-cb0e59b8f769a8698b9f7154dd8809b5:disqus - I feel you, buddy. I'm not one to grandstand about popular music one way or the other; if it's good it's good. This song just isn't my cup of tea. I will say that the nearly 900 comments (and counting) in this thread show that Semi-Charmed life has struck a real nerve…

@avclub-22eda830d1051274a2581d6466c06e6c:disqus I can agree that hating a song simply because it is inescapable is weak. I probably never need to hear Hey Ya! again outside of a wedding reception because of how burnt out I got on it, but I can admit it's still a great song.

So you're @avclub-5a1c0dcc8243c086c74ee944052f6f0f:disqus's wife?

Excellent. Also, how did you find out about this? Did your teacher just drop this anecdote into an algebra lesson or something?

Yeah, I guess the moment I first started to realize that that was happening was when Matt Pinfield made a pretty heartfelt plug prior to a video they were premiering on 120 Minutes, which ended up being Eve 6's "Beautiful Oblivion." Has anyone done a hatesong for that piece of shit yet?

You can't think of any other reason why people might not enjoy this song? Not the stupid lyrics? The lead singer's voice? The bland guitar riffs? The fact that it was inescapable when it came out?

I went to a strip club in Portland years ago by the name of Magic Gardens. It was quite the scene: essentially a dive bar with an ornery old lady tending bar and a stage maybe the size of a desk. Beers were cheap and the two dancers working that night were both supremely fucked up. One of them demanded heroin in lieu…

I was at a wedding once and I started chatting up the woman sitting next to me. She was super cool and funny and after a while I asked her what she did for a living, to which she replied "I'm a professional clown." I started laughing, because what a ridiculous way to answer that question, but she just stared at me. So…

@avclub-21a8615938a206d4311a58a53ad8890e:disqus I'm originally from Northeast Pennsylvania and the boys at my dad's hunting club are a cornucopia of colloquial delights (and prolific drinkers as well - not that I'm judging). My dad takes me there to have a few whenever I'm home visiting and I hear plenty of hennas.…

@barry_convex:disqus That's it. Like I said, I'm a simple man.

The hardest I laughed at this episode was when they told us the kid's nickname is P-Hound. I'm a simple man.
