You're pretty wrong. "Vacation" is up there with Caddyshack and Animal House for repeat viewings, and is a pretty big cultural touchstone. Folks know it damn well, hence this monstrosity.

You're recommending readers start with HAM ON RYE? No, they shouldn't. They should start with Post Office, Factotum, Women or Hollywood, any of the books that feature the full-grown Chinaski character.

Man, in like two months Hulk will join Apollo Creed, Clubber Lang and few other of his black homies on the View, and he'll cry, and then everything will be cool again. They know the real Hulk, and he'd bodyslam HIMSELF for this sort of racism.

Frankly, that makes it better. The one thing missing from Fury Road was a little levity.

Shoot, nobody at the Dissolve ever got that obtuse. Actually, the commenters over there were a well-written, thoughful bunch!

I would spend weeks, WEEKS! writing a 20-page paper. Goddamn, it was some awesome lazy living.

1. That idea instantly makes the Master more interesting, because otherwise that movie is a slow boat through boring city.
2. Daaamn, it's a bitch being an academic. I was a Ph.D. candidate for a hot minute, and I would spend WEEKS trying to churn out purple prose like that. When I said fuck this and went to law…

Great article. I hope that when you finished it you realized hat you'd reached the low point of your adult life and that you really need to make a change or you're never going to get a girl.

"Are you old enough? Will you be ready when I call your bluff?"

And you never will, but good reminder of a great track.

What an awesome guy. For all the posed vitriol, he always represents himself as a very thoughtful, sensitive person. His music is great, but his personality makes it better.

Absolutely right. The same mysterious flower child vibe.

It's funny. They just shuttered the Dissolve today and this is my first trip back to the old AV Club.

WANT ONE NOW

It's good, but he should make the colors brighter, as they were in the movie.

There's not enough negative things to be said about that horrible, horrible, horrible mustache.

I blame this guy.

I've been praising you up and down the thread, but it's truly an inspiration. I've known two dozen guys with crazy dreams like this, and not a one of them ever pulled it off. Seriously, this had to be one of the greatest nerd triumphs of all time, right up there with the Theory of Relativity and Weezer's first album.

Holy Mountain.
Yellow Submarine.
Rollerball (the original)

Dude deserves to tell people about it, it's a fucking awesome feat.
