I always loved Earth vs. The Spider - does anyone remember that one?  It's a fairly old Joel episode, with a great short about public speaking before it.

Nice try, Mr. Manager.

I love Legos.  I still have a huge bin of them and I'm married with no children.

So far I've bought:

RJ Mitte is very handsome.

Pitbull's verse needs at least 3 more mentions of "Mr. Worldwide" for it to really feel authentic.

It's a lot more than just a generic teen-lit adaptation.  Give the book a chance, if nothing else.  It's a very quick read but it's great.

He's just saying that Tom Yorke's energy doesn't promote the type of synergy that fosters a strong team-based environment that's dedicated to providing the best customer service possible.  It's a one-stop shop of satisfaction.

I wasn't surprised that he wrote that kind of essay - I was just shocked at how mediocre the writing actually was.

You should really read the rest of the Dune books (only the Frank Herbert ones).  It's really not meant to be a standalone story, and the novels are about a hell of a lot more than a vague oil analogy.

Did anyone here read Franco's essay in Vice about American Psycho?  It sounded like an essay by a Freshman English major who just got a brand new thesaurus.

If that's true, that's like PTSD-level stuff…
