As someone who watched The Simpsons growing up, I never get how parents could rail against it. Simpsons in their hey-day were clever, and had plenty of literary/cultural references that I recognize in other mediums purely because of seeing them on the show.
But of course, “eat my shorts” was soooo terrible.
I had a good time the first time I was in LA (whole family’s from NY, so I tend to go there more often)… though I’ll admit, it did take a day or two for my eyes to adjust to the tingling sensation caused by the smog.
I think it’s a good sign that as a culture, we’ve moved past “I smoked, but didn’t inhale” bullshit to this refreshing honesty.
Of course, it makes me think that 20 years from now, taboos will have become so relaxed that the president will be telling the world that he too, used to send dick pics. And I don’t know how to feel about that…
Running while buzzed is pretty fantastic. It basically starts you off with a runner’s high, so when you get the real runner’s high going too, it’s euphoric.
… Just be extremely careful when you’re crossing the street. No one’s going to believe your “euphoric run” story when you’re sweating whiskey.
To be fair, 2 years before that, it was bath salts. There’s always going to be some dumb pseduo-drug culture joke that everyone is going to try to make.
Skrillex at Bonnaroo was ridiculous. I was at the jam session, and every time they stopped to start another set, I could hear the “womp womp womp womp woooooomp” bleed from his stage at the other side of the campground.
It gets points for trying to write an honest college experience way before that was socially acceptable on tv, but it’s still a poor man’s Freaks and Geeks. I mean, how many times did Jason Segel steal the show?
Oh God, too true about Hockey. And I’ll at least say that I never liked curling until I got drunk at the bar in the Toronto airport watching it with Canadians. Canadian enthusiasm makes every ice sport better.
God, I loved the story of Fallout 1 & 2… but I loved the gameplay of Fallout 3. Someday, I’ll manage to get my oldschool cred, but until then, my Charisma-build Vault Dweller keeps on dying in the few instances where you can’t talk your way out of a fight.
Nothing for the DC metro area?
Well, we got that going for us at least.

What kind of jobs are these, though? I remember Texas’s claims of job growth were mostly due to an explosion of minimum wage positions.

If that guy isn’t on his college’s suicide watch by now, then he’s going to be.
My philosophy about taxes has always been, “Don’t bother doing your taxes, because if I owe money, they’ll let me know.”
… on a completely different note, does anyone know a good lawyer?
… How did they get away with “Felcher” back then?

Yeah, seriously. Where on earth do you live that has a subway system but no happy hour? Did the town from Footloose finally modernize?

He also had a spaceship. Wut.
Excuse me, “When I’m 64”?
… Fuck, we’ve got a long way to go.

Even a blind squirrel eventually finds a nut. And a damn funny nut, too.
Funny that you mention Austin so much. If you have Netflix, watch the movie “Slacker.” It was made in 1991, I believe, and is entirely set there.
It’s a movie about absolutely nothing, and has every single stereotype that you’re describing. What’s old is new, I guess.
Ladies love haikus
Don’t know why, don’t really care
Besides, rhyming’s tough.

Run to your destination. Duh. Even if it’s just back and forth in the plane so you can be one of “those guys.”
