It makes me sorta sad that their ambition led them to a distinctly smoother, discoier sound post-Handcream. Sometimes the best thing to do is just slap the original Hold On It Hurts and go fucking crazy about how they daringly collided punkish impulses with eastern sounds and ideas.

Flexing my philosophy of language muscles here; the idea of language stemming from a core concept or attribute of a word/sign/symbol/etc is dubious at best. Language is an action and a cooperative affair, not a one-to-one association between signifier and signified.

I’m telling you folks: Letterkenny. Give it a try. 

Best tagline too: “Who’s a good beer?”

At one point, I was studying to become neuro-psychologistlogist. But I took some time away and decided to pursue my true passion, becoming a choreoanimator.

I’m a really nice guy, so I figured if I’m ever going to have a drink thrown in my face, I would have to orchestrate it. So in college, I did just that. I asked a friend to get some water and throw it in my face so I could feel what it was like. She used water, which is probably a good thing because I avoided…

Travilata Gotti could be the name of an opera.

That or The Scientologists pulled some kind of shady business to assure a decent review. I remember thinking it was odd when one positive assessment just read “behold a pale horse” under the headline.

About a month away...that should be plenty of time for the BBC to find an acceptable replacement, and plenty of time for the massive demonstration to be organized should the BBC somehow decide not to replace him.

It’s an odd one to pick up on in a stew of so much awesomeness, but it really sounds like he slays “No Matter What” by Badfinger. I wanna hear the full version.

Ye-esss...that collection of pear-shaped balding fellows with the skintone and soulfulness of months-old mayonnaise exposed to the sun: that’s precisely who I and those of my region wish we could emulate. Poor fellow in the red shirt can’t even execute a simple double-up-high five.

Ah yusss! I was asleep until just now, but as a Minneapolitain I can verify that The Current is one of the best things about the Twin Cities. Real glad they stayed with the story, and thank you for the update. Glad to know the raccoon’s gonna get some good attention and special treats.

Update: The raccoon made its final ascent to the top of the UBS building at around 2:30am. https://twitter.com/i/status/1006802709763194881

That little guy’s gonna show us all how a resurrection really feels.

They’re not actively pursuing it. Just left some food and a live-capture trap on the roof should he decide to head that way.

Then we can all remember when we’re huddled around our sterno fires, eating the sludge that gathers under dumpsters, that we were in on the story right from the beginning.

Just proves he’s done stuff like this before. He knows what he’s capable of.

“This Was America”

I thought The Cure was the cure for 90s nostalgia.

Yessss, that’s the scene (along with the ones just after it) that gnawed their way into my memory.
