Wow, a way to catch up on previous episodes I'd missed! Now if only there was some way to watch them at a time of my choosing, or even to select specific episodes to watch at a specific time…

Vespertine is the greatest experimental pop album by an Icelandic female singer ever.  There, I said it.

Go to sushi restaurant, order tatsutage along with some nigiri.  Everyone wins.

They actually photoshopped it out of this one.

It's basically just a conflation of the Scooby and Shaggy characters.

Wow, that's the first time I've heard from the Church of the Subgenius in a long time.  You guys seem to be staying the course.

I want to see a version of Spring Breakers with old people.

"I found this easy to masturbate to, asshole."  How's that?

Wub wub wub whooooooooooshhhhhhhh wub wub wub whoooooooooooshhhhhh

Tom Scholtz makes excellent baked beans, or so I'm told.

Wiley Wiggins is the Keanu Reeves of this movie.  He IS Mitch, which makes him perfect here and impossible to cast in anything else.  (Much as Keanu IS Ted, however much he tries to convince us otherwise.)

That's the point - he IS a loser, objectively speaking, and we know that, but to the high school kids whose worldview the movie is taking, he's a badass.

I have similar feelings, and I grew up in Maine.  I think a lot of smallish but not small towns gave rise to the same experience.  I remember partying at our equivalent of the moontower, cruising and buying beer at corner stores where the person behind the counter didn't give a shit, my stoner friend taking acid at…

Gimme a bottle of anything.  And a glazed donut.  To go!

And because the producers knew that, eventually, Jan Michael Vincent would flip out, so they needed to be able to replace him with minimum fuss.

And thus the controversy reignites!

Hopefully this sad event will reignite the simmering controversy amongst late-80s preteens re: who would win in a fight, Airwolf or Blue Thunder?  I was always on Team Airwolf, personally; Blue Thunder just has a boring old chaingun, while Airwolf has that awesome little rocket launcher thingy that pops out of the…
