Today has been a really good day. Planned a trip to see Swingin' Utters, found out that the Red City Radio vinyl will be better than expected, and now this! Btw, you guys can start the hate machine, I'm seeing Dirty Tactics over None More Black at Rad Fest.

Gangster Stamina is one of my favorite releases ever. Plus, I've seen None More Black almost 3 times in the past 3 years. Dirty Tactics = 1 time.

the first song's a bit different, it's kinda noisey, but the rest doesn't sound much different than their old stuff at all.

Speaking of dirty tactics, if you want to Fuck with somebody really good and proper you. Need a few things:
Access to their room or office.
Alone time in said room.
1 piece of small shrimp.

This room needs to have a lamp with a lightbulb and shade. (no flourescent lights)

Place shrimp on lightbulb and exit. This works best if this lamp isn't used frequently. The shrimp will slowly rot and the heat from the bulb will permeate through every porous thing in that room.

It smells like Hell. Have fun.

In conclusion, san dimas high school football rules!

An org reunion.... but in only two stories. Slow news day, but man. Everybody came back, including this one dude. Kinda looks like Sam the Eagle?

The reunion happened in the RCR story and that video involving that video featuring a foal (that is the name for a baby horse, right?) being beat up.

They've got way too much to answer. I'm getting angry knowing how much is being skipped over.

Report

MN_DrNick (May 9, 2010)

What's left to be answered? All I can think of is why there's another universe, the island underwater in that universe, the Jacob & MIB story (which is actually this week), what the importance of Desmond is, who the mother of Jack's son is, the boy running around the jungle, who Ben's romantic interest is going to be (what I read but didn't say what universe it's in).... and that's about it. They have 4 1/2 left of show to give us the answers. I think that's plenty.

baldsteve (May 9, 2010)

I guess so BUT:
Why children can't be born onto the island (is it because they weren't 'chosen' to come?)

I never really paid enough attention to figure it out, but were he, his impersonator and fuckyouoioioi all the same person?

Like it matters. I recently re-visited the music of the latter, though, and I think it might just be genius. Kinda on the level of this, but of course no one can beat the transgressive genius of Seth Putnam: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mp6TSg4_1qo

I like the idea of a free-running Bridge Nine movie though. Watch while the dudes from Polar Bear Club run up a wall and kick someone in the face! Marvel at Strike Anywhere flipping off a lamp post, flying through a window and kicking someone in the crotch! Be surprised when Lemuria take out that one big, inexplicably strong and durable guy with a crane before letting off a poorly translated one liner!

It'd be epic.

that's what you get for linking your facebook profile to your org user profile. that's also what you get for inexplicably having a public facebook profile.

also, your lack of secrecy regarding your love for KOTH is inherently and directly linked to the dearth of romantic companions in your life.

Well it was another night of falling asleep right after work for 8 hours and not falling back asleep. I've been cranking out Radon, Sludgeworth, and PInhead Circus ever since. Also watched the season finale of SNL with Betty White. Not as disastrous as I anticipated. Seeing Molly Shannon and Ana Gasteyer (and I guess Rachel Dratch, Amy Poehler, Tina Fey, and Maya Rudolph) made me remember the good ol' days of 90's SNL and how awesome it was.
