I haven't watched Modern Family in a few seasons, but it always struck me that Cam and Mitchell could hardly stand each other. They were constantly engaging in passive aggressive displays of one-upsmanship with one another. There seemed to be little actual love or compassion and a lot of showy, silly, yet deeply…

Oh, I absolutely agree. I love that movie. Maybe it's just because he does it so well that it almost seems like his default setting, but I'd be more offended if Nathan Lane tried to underplay a character like that. He needs to be preening and outrageous.
The biggest difference between an overtly stereotypical gay actor…

Yep. You're correct. Thank you.
I must have been thinking of nearly every other role Robin Williams played in his career. Dumbass that I am I pick the one time his character was somewhat grounded.
How could I forget how over the top Lane was in that movie?

Oh, I have heard of that then. I just forgot what it was called. For some reason I was picturing some sort of Last Man Standing nonsense about a blue collar family of O'Doyles that probably doesn't exist. I like his work a great deal so I should probably check it out.

Good. It deserves scorn. Or at least it did four or five years ago when I last saw an episode. I probably have a Texas sized blind spot when it comes to criticism of Modern Family.

I thought the exact same thing. Great minds.
Or, not so great minds…

You're right about Max being great and Modern Family being, uh, not so great.
I can't believe MF doesn't get more shit tossed its way over the terrible, regressive, (and most egregiously) unfunny gay stereotypes it throws on-screen every week. Robin Williams character from The Birdcage thinks they're overdoing it.…

Mutts are better in a lot of ways, cat and dog alike. They do often live longer (I have a half chow chow, half who-the-fuck-knows-what and he is 15 and still happy and strong). The best thing is if they are an original enough mix they truly are one of a kind. Anyone can have a tabby or a golden retriever, but a mutt…

And they'll get there faster if they ever do it around me. I am not a violent person typically, but I beat the ever loving shit out of one of my neighbors in high school because he kicked a couple raccoon babies to death in the woods across from my house. He was a couple years younger than me and not particularly…

Who knows. One is from the pound and one is a stray puppy that I hit with my car and nursed back to health last year.
I was listening to a Dollop episode about the 1904 St. Louis Olympics and World Fair and they were talking about the human zoo type exhibits that would showcase some dog eating tribe from the…

"Trapped-but-not-dead-rat" reminds me of a shithole rental I lived in my 3rd and 4th years at Ohio University nearly 20 years ago (ah fuck, I'm middle aged! I'm middle aged?). I lived with 7 other guys and we were all drunken, stoned slobs as one sometimes is at that age-although, to be honest, I still sort of am…

That is awful. Condolences.

My grandfather owns several oil wells in a small town on the Ohio River. Some of these wells are located on the property of a 75 year old good ol' boy who went to the Philippines 10 years ago and came back with a 19 year old Filipino bride. Now they have a 5 year old daughter (who is adorable-besides the point) and…

You're a fucking moron. Learn to read Anne.

You're not saying anything and you've obviously don't realize where you are. I'm tired and only just woke up but I look forward to your inevitable evisceration by those more clever than me. They are coming. Lol. Lmao.

Love your name dude. Seriously got a nice chuckle out of it.

One Foot in the Grave is pretty lo-fi too, and it has Asshole on it and is far more listenable than Stereopathic Soulmanure.

They should've called themselves San Bernardino County Line.

I love that song.

I once had a girl
She didn't know
She was roofied…
