So he smells like a McDonald's Play Place?

Saddest Upvote…

Well that's just sad…

Uh… Springfield? Peoria? Rockford? Bloomington/Normal? Moline? Rock Island?

Yes. In fact I stopped, waited for a car to come up the road from behind me and made them go first. Then rode their bumper to the other side.

Good luck with the election.

I don't know much about him. But the few times I've heard him speak he seemed like a compassionate and intelligent person. Then I heard he voted against a bill that would let people in the US purchase much cheaper Canadian prescription drugs. His rationale was "protecting consumers". Which sounds suspiciously like "I…

Illinois isn't that great, either. There's the whole state government is incompetent and/or corrupt bit. And then there's the cultural schism between Chicago and the rest of the state.

75? My neighbor turns 83 next week and I still have to hear him talk about his golf games every time he catches me outside.

You…. You sit DIRECTLY. IN. FRONT. OF. THE. LOGO. every time you drive. Do you know what model it is? Color? How do you find your car in a parking lot? What would you tell someone if it was stolen? You, presumably, paid a fairly large sum of money for this thing. I would think it might behoove you to at least know…

To be fair, everybody used those Takata murderbags. I've replaced a couple dozen in the past few weeks (I work for Chrysler).

I'm a mechanic. You have no idea of the seething rage that overcomes me when I see that ad. Like, seriously, have any of you twits ever even seen a car in your entire lives? Do you not understand what design language is? Looks like an Audi? Get fucked, moron.*

NO ONE PUTS ORBY IN THE CORNER!!!

Saw the second Guardians of the Galaxy today. I liked it better than the first one but it seemed kind of long and segmented. There's a lot of "stop the plot while this character has growing/heartfelt moment" going on. Still, it was witty, visually impressive and came by it's emotional moments honestly. And I know…

I like the new MST3K. But, like the old series, some movies are just too shitty to sit through even with witty derision being thrown at them. Starcrash is one of those films. I had to get through that episode in chunks of 15-20 minutes at a time. The following ep is much easier to take, IMHO.

That movie is dumb as hell but I still really, really like it. Evans does fine work and Kim Pine is great in her small role.

To my ear, Slipknot doesn't fit with grunge at all. It's metal. Pretty much just straight forward metal. Well, maybe not straight forward. They had the clown gimmick and nine(?) members with three being percussionists I think. Someone else mentioned Godsmack and Staind further up and they don't fit in with grunge,…

Yeah, I don't think I'd hold the Pixies up as shining examples of brilliant lyricism. I like them a lot (prefer them to Nirvana, actually) but it's a lot of cryptic stuff that could just as easily be bullshit.

Which "they" are you referring to? Candlebox or Gin Blossoms? I'm not familiar enough with Toad the Wet Sprocket to be able to make any comparisons.

When I was a kid, Nirvana was everywhere. I don't remember living in a world without Smells Like Teen Spirit. I "discovered" the Pixies as a 13 year-old after watching Fight Club. Had no idea about them beforehand, knew no one who did. Even I, a person with the musical inclination of a folding chair, thought, "Hey,…
