It's like I always say whenever I go to the eye doctor and get my pupils dilated: AAAAAAFUCKFUCKFUCKDAMMITWHATHEFUCK

I thought all the conservatives I know hated Kendrick Lamar's performance of "Not Like Us" at the Super Bowl because they're racist assholes with poor taste in music, but as it turns out, that was mostly about seeing Drake as a fellow traveler and the song hitting too close to home.

Speaking as the father of a little girl with an auto-inflammatory condition: I suspect that if I ever meet this limp-wristed little puke in person, he might find that he has a use for it.

Still waiting for someone to do it better than B. Kliban.

Just saw a lowered Land Rover Defender on big wheels, 20" at least, and I challenge you to go find me a dumber idea* * - not from the current US government, that's cheating

Ang Lee's Hulk

No big yellow slide AND no scrambler at the fair this year?! Thanks OBAMA

Hell Yeah #bikesky

Hey #bikesky can you reach a point where you've swapped your pedals out enough times that you can do it without bloodying yourself? I don't even know exactly how I did it this time, I thought I was being cautious but just looked down and I'm bleeding again. WTF

In the 90s I played in a punk band in Philadelphia and we met GG Allin backstage at a show. Our lead singer's girlfriend offered him a tampon and he accepted it. She left the area briefly, and when she came back and handed it to him he started dunking it in his beer like a teabag.

Just got a call soliciting donations from the police chiefs' benevolent fund or some kind of shit like that, and in this case I think I really do have to hand it to them: their comic timing is fucking impeccable.

VHS trailers were great and I'm glad to see some being preserved! On this favorite of mine: 1. This looks like it was written and directed by Strongbad. 2. What the hell is Jack Palance doing? 3. "If you wanna dine with the devil, you'll need a looooooong spoon" youtu.be/yxRsSMVig0I?...

Lots of scatting on the local jazz radio station tonight and I remain absolutely baffled that there are people in the world who believe that there's a worthwhile distinction to be made between what these "serious" vocalists are doing and Shooby Taylor. youtu.be/wm7SKIlyNuU?...

A close friend of mine is a middle manager in a big, publicly-traded company. They had record earnings last year and their stock is at an all-time high. They just laid off almost 10% of their people.

This is going to sound really dumb but I'm reposting this so I can find it to read it later because I seem to not have that red thumbtack emoji on my phone.

*Seeing Teddy Swims on New Years Rockin Eve* "Holy crap, it's Leon Redbone"

We never use a tablecloth but have one or four tacks and our car has decided it's great fun to pull on. He likes the clattering sounds the plates make.

Likewise, I'm sure a few people remember this one but I've never seen it mentioned anywhere:

I'm reminded of an excellent interview in the Believer a few years back where Terry Gilliam and Salman Rushdie spent part of it talking about the commercial work they did as a means of funding their art. www.thebeliever.net/an-interview...
