i love how many times* it was necessary to point out dude was talking about The Simpson's "in it's prime" and not the hollow, soul-less revenant slouching ever onward, sullying it's once-good name.

to you couple-three Parker fans: have any of you read Lee Child's Jack Reacher stuff?

i re-read the Patrick Rothfuss books back-to-back and, yesterday, started on the latest Ex-humans book by Peter Clines, EX-ISLE - for those who aren't familiar with the series (this is the fifth), it's about a bunch of people in LA who gain super powers a couple months before a zombie apocalypse, and all that this …

uhm, i'm pretty sure that's pronounced "Considdah dat uh diworse!"

while technically the answer was probably one of the old Classics Illustrated comics, the first super-hero comic i remember buying with my own money was one of those Marvel Giant Size reprint comics - something with the Hulk.

yeah, dude thought he had this quid pro quo deal worked out, where someone at clickhole was gonna get him, i dunno, a book deal or something but a big Nelson Munch HA-haaaaaa!, since the joke is on blevins because they're just gonna do an article about how crap he is at karaoke or how bad his white bean chili is. or…

too easy.

it's okay dude - i thought the website was some kind of skeevy internet video glory hole-thing, so imagine my surprise.

…well? i'm waiting.

Orphan Black, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Arya and Brienne on Game of Thrones, Veronica fuckin' Mars (arguably Captain Janeway) Scully and half the women on CSI were all hypercompetent and female. Xena! Leslie Knope!!

(looks back and forth between Mr Threepwood and krampus9000 expectantly, checks watch)

why wait until retirement? if you had a lick of work ethic* you could earn enough for a bottle of Mad Dog by 8AM.

yeah, no one who has actually cared about even one woman in their entire life would be able to spend half an hour around someone like Barney Stinson without lighting him on fire.

i also think some of the Hannah hate ties in with the parallels others have pointed out between here and George Costanza: they're both annoying losers, yeah, but they're also the kind of people who are constantly failing upward in life through absolutely zero talent or hard work.

also, Duchovney is a pretty person which commands a certain degree of respect and affection. i'm not saying it should, i'm just saying: that's the way the world (and certainly the entertainment industry) works.

yeah, but… boobs! Californication has boobs.

yeah except for how Jamie Lee Curtis and Tom Atkins are awesome.

hear, hear!

Grant Morrison gets a lifetime pass from me on the basis of Animal Man alone but i loved his Doom Patrol and Invisibles as well. (and his work on Skrull Kill Krew is pretty bonkers fun too.) All-Star Superman would probably round out my Top 5 of his works and, honestly, that's a pretty damn impressive body of work…

at least there's not one weird trick to watching it.
