DEUCE-RELATED MUST-WATCH: Ari Shaffir's "Chinese Sh*t Squat Toilet" story on Comedy Central's "This Is Not Happening" series. https://www.youtube.com/wat…

Saw a local band, Habatat, that was sharing a bill with my band. They're a funk group with a trumpet player. Pretty great.

This weekend is among my favorites of the year, the annual Pears Garlicfest in Crawford County, PA, and I have finally settled on my entries in the cooking contest: one will be a Spicy Garlic Crab Dip, and the other will be Ajo-Ají Chicken Sliders, made with (naturally) a shitload of garlic and these awesome Ajî Limon…

This has absolutely nothing to do with figure skating to Nirvana, except tangentially as an interpretation of their music:

It strikes me as the exact type of story which typifies the difficulty in adapting King's work: so much of the horror and "events" take place in people's minds, and that's not easy to translate to the screen.

That sounds pretty horrible. Stacy's Cinnamon-Sugar pita chips? Pretty good. Cinnamon-anything potato chips? Not so much. One thing the Create-a-Flavor campaign has taught me is that the humble plain potato chip is not just a blank slate. It has its own flavor profile, one that does NOT pair well with everything.

I have a question and a comment, both DJ-related:

"Animaniacs" is twice as good to watch as an adult for this exact reason. Soooo many adult references and pop-culture parodies I had no idea existed watching it as a middle-schooler.

The Lays Create-a-Flavor chips usually give you an A (Ginger Wasabi, Smoked Mac-n-Cheese) or an F (Cappuccino, good GAWD NO).

I respect Glover's decision to not make himself the rapper, in light of his Childish Gambino side gig.

"I don't give a sh* about the audience anymore" is the living embodiment of Dante Hicks' "This job would be great if it weren't for the f*cking customers." Unfortunately it means I won't be lining up for Clerks III: Eh?*

I could have saved the selectmen that post-vote debate: it is not. Ghost of Tom Joad is.

…and babies.

Word up. Without so-called cultural appropriation: no Elvis, no Stevie Ray Vaughan, no UB40 (although a world without UB40 might not be the worst…), no Eminem. I can keep going.

No doubt. It's so deft and intricate, and nearly impossible to replicate.

I was thinking the same thing… is it a whites-only enclave if he brought Ray Phiri, Bagithi Kumalo and Stimela there to record??

It's the rare album I can always listen to without ever hitting the "skip" button.

I was wondering if AV Club would stop reviewing it this year. I keep wanting it to be good, but it remains the only series I legitimately hatewatch.

And now, just like people who post photos of the Starbucks barista [intentionally] spelling their name wrong and/or stupid, AVClub has given Gutfeld the attention he so wantonly desired.
