That's fantastic. I remember once seeing an early-80s interview with Prince Charles where he mentions enjoying the music of "The Dire Straits", which my friends and I found hilarious. We took that and extrapolated it to referring to bands as things like "Mr. Mark Knopfler and his Dire Straits", " Mr. Jeffrey Mangum…

If God actually spoke like that, I'd be a theist of some description.

I found Tony Wilson's autobiography that it was based on for $10 the other week and can't help but hear the words being read by Coogan in my mind, despite being quite familiar what the real Wilson sounded like.

At this point I am not sure I can remember anything any woman I have ever met has ever worn, except for the friends and colleagues I see when I look up from my computer.

I have a friend who used to take an official-looking 'out of order' sign to festivals, pick a port-a-loo early on and place the sign on that. She would try to pick an out of the way block and only use it at quiet times. Genius, really, in its incredible selfishness.

Pretty sure that Glen Beck agrees with you there, doesn't he?

Pretty disappointed that Dinesh is a libertarian (as, the above quote seems, is Gilfoyle) but stoked he likes rugby.

I figure he just lives in Elrich's 'Incubator' but isn't a part of Pied Piper? But yeah, he was gloriously deadpan, especially when he joined in repeating his name over and over.

Can you please post again and mention how PC has gone mad? Or maybe use the term 'feminazi'? I'm so close to completing my bingo card that it would be a shame if you didn't.

You are dead right and I am super depressed that I read this comments thread.

Marty and Rust killed him.

Stupid babies need the most attention!

I moved to a country that didn't really bother with much Western pop music in the mid 00s and thankfully (for me, at least) missed the heyday of bands like this (though I remember a video with people dressed as ninjas fighting from the early 00s?), Fall Out Boy (who I only heard about via The Hater on this site), 30…

Yeah, that was the part that really pissed me off too.

Is it safe to assume she lives in Laurel Canyon or are there other '[x] Canyon's in LA?

Don, Benjamin Braddock and Jackie Brown, the latter being my favourite due to the use of 'Across 110th Street' by Bobby Womack.
