Jesus, learning that his favorite musical is Evita is like learning his favorite movie is Citizen Kane. It's just too perfect.

What future?

Man, good call on Baboon. Back when I actually played guitar for other people, that was one of my favorites to do.

I like to think that even Mountain Goats tribute acts keep up the tradition of never, ever playing fucking "Golden Boy."

Oh, there absolutely was. In the early days of the church, they were looked at by the Roman government as basically a cult (in the sense that we would use the world).

Tell your god to ready for blood.

Congrats!

It's like drinking silk!

Hey, remember when Futurama came back?

I hear you— I started the year by finally watching all of Deadwood, and I'm ending it by rewatching all of Deadwood.

What do you know, you're a bear! You suck the heads off of fish!
