Bonus stuff is great if it's an album you never owned before, I guess.

Yeah, I've bought all the Pavement reissues because I never owned them before.  There's a handful of worthwhile bonus tracks that make it to the iPod, but 90% of them I just listen to once on the CD and that's where they stay.

Yes.

It's a pain in the ass to even keep track of new albums by people I like.  I'd rather pay someone to do it for me.

I fart like a rockstar. Don't hate.

T-t-t-t-totally dude!

(The Shop Boyz/Soulja Boy State Fair shows are going to be hi-larious in 20 years.)
Hey, maybe in 30 years, PBS will air hiphop acts like the Soulja Boy guys during fundraising week, like the Doo Wop reunion shows they have now. That will be something to look forward to. 3-6 Mafia, Dem Franchize Boyz, etc.

Cake Request for 3-Year-Old Hitler Namesake Denied

Quote
The Campbells' other two children also have unusual names: JoyceLynn Aryan Nation Campbell turns 2 in a few months and Honszlynn Hinler Jeannie Campbell will be 1 in April.

Heath Campbell said he named his son after Adolf Hitler because he liked the name and because ''no one else in the world would have that name.'' He sounded surprised by all the controversy the dispute had generated.

Oh look, an MMA fighter kills his wife in a murder-suicide.

EDIT: I realized that this post made it look like I was claiming all MMA fighters are animals but I should've added the context that I enjoy MMA; I just hate when someone does something stupid like this that makes it easy to paint all fighters as bad people.  One of my best friends trains with some local fighters and, for the most part, they are good guys.  Sure, there are plenty of meatheads (as there are in any sport) but it's not really fair to lump them all together.

these questions: http://www.slate.com/id/2206835/?GT1=38001

oh, these questions!

Not only do I not hate these, I almost think they call for a new thread where people can field some of them. I'd like to see answers to:

Quote
Why do women like soup? Is it for perceived health benefits?

Quote
If one gets a personal e-mail from a very famous or important person, such as the president, or the queen of England, or the Pope, or Paul McCartney, can that e-mail have monetary value? I guess not. It's just an electronic transmission on a screen. There's no original. There's no way to buy or sell it. Seems a shame tho.

Quote
Why do all of the deli guys and food cart guys call me "Boss"?
I would leave it up to the answering FOT whether they want to assume the questioner was Springsteen.

Quote
I live in Washington, D.C., and we have very long escalators coming out of the Metro. If I grabbed the handrail when I first step onto the escalator and did not let go until I was at the top, my body would be almost prostrate across the steps. As I go higher on the escalator, I have to readjust the hand that is grabbing the rubber handrail. Why can't the companies that make escalators sync the steps and the handrails so that they go the same speed?
Notice the change from "if I grabbed" to "as I go" and "I have to" partway through the question. This is not a hypothetical situation.

Quote
If you were on a boat, what signs do sharks give if they are hungry and will attack versus if they just want to swim around the boat?
I'd like to think this one was written by someone on a boat who was hoping for a quick response.

Quote
I have been accused of assault in Ohio. The woman fell over a box in the hall backward, and my brother opened the door, saw her lying there, and started hitting me. I got him down and held him down. It was all over a fight concerning my niece. What do you think will happen?
This is the best. The scenario and the open-ended nature of the question itself. I really need some kind of closure on this. Possibly, this could be answered in Choose Your Own Adventure format.

Quote
How can personal coaches justify coaching athletes who are much better than they ever were? If they know so much about how to win, why aren't they competing?

Can an average person not in politics get a pardon from the president of the United States? (Possession of forged instrument, October of 1989.)
This may be the year I will disappear.

I can confirm this is supremely annoying.  I don't like to readjust my hand anywhere that doesn't involve pleasures of the flesh, which is why my office looks like something from a Cronenberg film.

in hindsight, i realize i should have specified what i hate: that they can only pick ONE to answer!

however, like Wes, i was truly hoping some FOT would take this under their wings (especially the assault scenario and "forged instruments").  or that they become questions on Match Wits with Mike.

This one is almost Rock-N-Roll-Dreams'll-esque in its interplay of characters.
I really don't appreciate your sarcastic, anti-comedy tone, Bro!
