His description of milking a cow as being like "squeezing hot snot out of a fat woman's dick" is one of the funniest phrases I've ever read.

I'm with you on everything but "bring back Gladstone." His book samples were the most painfully un-self-aware attempts at satire I've ever read, and the fact that he actually published that book and apparently wasn't just doing an extended self-parody of shitty self-insert fiction is mind-boggling.

Yes, it would be farfetched indeed to have a Big Boss origin story showing what led to him betraying his country. What a fanciful tale you've spun.

It really is exactly like Bart, is the thing.

"Lady" implies an age range of the subject matter that I doubt holds true for most devoted redditors.

It is exactly what you would expect a successful place that charges 3 dollars a taco to be. I do respect them for having both pulled pork and shredded beef face meat, though.

Technically, Mitch McConnell is a scaley, not a furry.

I think it's that he's one of the only filmmakers working who is a true Surrealist, in that he doesn't believe in an authoritative meaning or artistic intent behind his works. He famously doesn't do commentaries because he doesn't think his own interpretations of his films are any more valid than those of the viewer,…

I hit every "flirting 'sarcastically' with Kanji" option in 4 as hard as I could, and if this game's gay-ish characters are that good I intend to repeat it.

I think that Brave New World, with its view of a dystopia of indulgence, consumerism, and pleasure, is certainly less horrifying now than it would have been when it was written, as our own cultures have become more in line with its own. That's not necessarily all bad— but it's interesting to read more modern science…

Cool. You can reach me at yumzux [at] yahoo.com. My shift ends soon, so I won't be around for much later tonight, but I'm free to talk for a while longer.

I would just throw up an email you can reach me at and delete it from the post once you respond so that it's not accessible to the web at large. Just let me know— if you don't want to strike up a private personal conversation with an internet rando, I understand.

I'll do what I can, but I've gotta warn you that I do the majority of my AV Clubbing from work, so it likely can't be much more than just chatting. If you want to talk privately, though, let me know and I'll try and get an email set up I can post here.

Hey man, good to see you. And I agree— I could watch Welles talk about and do just about anything. Even at his fattest and drunkest, the man exudes an energy and charm. Like, the champagne commercial is funny, but he's still cooler in it than I will ever be.

Obligatory excellent Matt Bors comic on the subject:

What I'm saying is, the man himself corrected Trump right after Trump said he doesn't make mistakes. That is, by definition, irony. It's not a policy issue or a scandal, it's a short funny video that plays into the general ridiculousness of the administration, and you're here posting fifty times in the comments that…

Professional dumb asshole also dumb asshole for fun.

But he goes by Chuck. If it wasn't a mistake, he wouldn't have corrected it.

In part because I live a thousand miles from Chicago in a state with a state monopoly on liquor— getting ahold of the real thing is pretty rare.

That's just if you're distilling the alcohol yourself. I'm just doing an infusion.
