What's worse is that everyone who references stuff like "cougar" does it with the smug vibe of "Yup, I just launched this phrase myself"

Stevia, Splenda, NutraSweet, aspartame, malitol, and the fuckers who decide it's ok to include such horrible ingredients in baked goods and then NOT TELL YOUR CO-WORKERS WHEN YOU OFFER THEM AN ENTICING COOKIE.

It is possible to hate a chocolate chip cookie, my friends. I can assure you of this.

Fuck you, two Wall Street guys on the elevator today, who gave each other a fist bump and talked about going to "Crooklyn" after work.

That's how I read it anyway....


Since you got a big plastic head you appear to have gotten smarter. 

At least, more credible.

Heh!?

When you accidentally find yourself walking beside a stranger, and you adjust your walking speed to either pass or fall behind them and they match your speed. That bugs me.

My god, I could write a (very repetitive) book about sidewalk etiquette. I get furious at people who do not cede an inch of space on the sidewalk when we're walking past one another... what is this, reservoir dogs?

This is the kind of thing that will kill me, eventually.

Yes. I think they're the same people who drive five miles under the speed limit when you can't pass, then speed up once you hit the passing lane.

I don't think you could get a whole book out of sidewalk etiquette.  (The topic of my only successful Best Show call.)  You'd need a chapter on escalator etiquette, too.

And what about door-holding etiquette?  Probably a separate book.

Today I Googled a girl I knew from college because I'd heard she'd become a successful singer. I was reading her website and the Atlas Shrugged-quantity of bio text which she definitely wrote herself when I found info on the new album. Apparently it's recommended for:

Quote
"...fans of: My Bloody Valentine, Augustus Pablo, Wilco, Os Mutantes, Carpenters, dälek, Spacemen 3, Stereolab, Beach Boys, Neil Young, Cheap Trick, Mamas and the Papas, Jon Brion, Slowdive, Jeff Buckley, Bjork, Tom Petty, Cocteau Twins, Mojave 3, Mazzy Star, Gram Parsons, Elliott Smith, Velvet Underground, The Beachwood Sparks, Johnny Cash, Tammy Wynette, Leonard Cohen, Burt Bacharach, Sly & Robbie, Roberta Flack, Ride, Syd Barrett, The Beatles, Dolly Parton, Patsy Cline, Simon and Garfunkel, Loretta Lynn, John Lennon, Iris Dement, Cat Power, Aimee Mann, Crooked Fingers, Bob Dylan, The Byrds, and Love..."

Was it Barry Dworkin who once tried to give credibility to his band by comparing it to all these music giants, or was that another Wurster character?

I know Corey Harris said that Mother 13's influences were (something like) Led Zeppelin, the Stones, Nirvana, Pixies... and then he played their single.

I've been looking for a dälek/Carpenters/Johnny Cash hybrid for a long time. Link?

Fuck you, whoever gave me the flu.

Unless you are someone I know and am friends with, in which case I will take that down a notch to "Why would you come to school/work/a party with the flu?" Whine whine whine.
