Nighthawk

No, I did not read carefully at all. Yeah, I have no idea who either of them are, but that dude at least looks more like him physically.

Seeing as I have a Watchmen tattoo, I'm obviously very concerned with this, and have been following it. Comedian is of primary importance, as he's my favorite character. Goode is something of an unknown commodity, but I will give him a chance. He's... not what I expected. Comedian, I think of as olderish (as one of the original Minute Men, he spans a lot of ages in the story, so I pictured somebody sort of in the middle, age wise). And pretty muscular. In my dream cast of Watchmen, I actually picked Jesse Ventura, and I still think that's awesome. But I'll give him a shot. I really like the Rorschach casting. It's sort of left field, and the guy's unknown enough to not be distracting, but has that sort of ugly intensity to take center stage when he needs to. The cool kid in Bad News Bears, well that's awesome. Billy Crudup is the "Oh god no." here. I mean... he just doesn't have enough Manhattan in him. Just cause he said he was a golden god doesn't mean he should get to play one. But I will try to remain open minded. I'm sure I'll comment more later, but I always imagined Nite Owl as Dan Akroyd.

Re: hot dog places in LA. The infamous Law Dogs, where you get free legal advice with every purchase on Wednesdays. I've seen it on lots of those TLC shows I mentioned. I passed there every day on my way to school, and ate there lots of times (good, but I wasn't blown away), but never got the free legal advice. I regret this now, cause I can't help but wonder what form it was in and how good the advice was. Was the owner a disbarred lawyer? Did you have to read law books to get hired there? Or was it just somebody talking out of their ass? I just don't know. I'm in LA every couple years or so, I've really gotta do that sometime.

I just laughed pretty hard cause I was watching a special on morbidly obese people, and this one guy slimmed all the way down to normal, but then gained almost all of it back, and he said almost exactly the same thing you just said. "Once I lost all that weight, I wanted to celebrate, so I went down to Nathan's for a hot dog. One hot dog. It's my favorite food. But then you can't have a Nathan's hot dog without french fries... and you can't have french fries without melted cheese... and it just spiraled out of control."

Pretty low for those. They'd be my two and three after In A Silent Way.

I thought it was great too, with my only disappointment being that I wanted more cursing. The "Sequel?" part especially, before she said it I was sitting there with my fingers crossed going "Please be 'fuck', please be 'fuck', please be 'fuck'." If it had been fuck, I'd have no qualms calling it the best movie ever.

Also, regarding motivation to dig up a corpse, Satanic rituals is my first guess. Way more Satanists than necrophiliacs, although there's some crossover.

That's stupid. Now they're going to pass a law, just like that bestiality law in Washington after Mr. Hands. I mean, what if somebody puts it in their will that it's ok if people have sex with their corpse? Then it's consensual. I'd actually be incredibly flattered if somebody wanted to.

I didn't hate Vanhalen before, but now I do. He's associated with The Man.

My reaction would likely be "Oh, I guess he's into Jesus. Huh." but I'm a pretty laidback guy. I don't mind listening to Christian music, I'll listen to anything if it sounds good (I've mentioned my interest in hatecore here before), but the best Christian songs are usually from people not typically associated with "Christian music" like Cash, or Prince ("The Cross" is a damn good song). Zao is another Christian group who happen to be really good.

I call a miscarriage.

I don't know about that. I mean, addicts are addicts, and regular people do shit like this all the time. I mean, it's not like Joe Cokehead on Cops was thinking "Well, I really shouldn't be driving... but I can't afford a limo, so I guess I'll have to risk it." Drugs make you do stupid shit no matter who you are. I agree with the other stuff you said, though.

"The Only Good Christian Is a Dead Christian" for me, with "Throne of Agony" a close second. Hole is my favorite album though.

I got really pissed off when Thrifty's became Rite Aid. Thrifty's was awesome. It had character, it felt very 70s, and they had great ice cream and cool toys. They even got name dropped in an Aquabats song. Rite Aid is just... a drug store.

Roy Rogers I've actually never even been to, so I couldn't say. Local grocery stores: Safeway, Albertsons, Food Max Southern California (as of years ago): Ralph's, Lucky's, Von's, Food 4 Less (basically the same as Food Max) Tampa: Publix, Winn Dixie, Kash N Karry I have never shopped at a Piggly Wiggly unfortunately.

Right! I mean... wrong! ...I mean... Precisely why I gave up nihilism.

Don't lump Checkers in with Hardees and Carl's, that's a different thing. On the east coast we had Checkers, and on the west coast it's called Ralley's (sticking with the racecar theme, I guess). It's exactly the same too, not even slightly different like Hardees and Carl's. Checkers and Sonics were on the short list of places I liked to go because you could get hot dogs there that didn't taste like crap, like they do at Weinerschnitzle. There are a few decent quick serve hot dog places, but those were the only ones with a drive thru.

Foetus did do a Satanic surf song, at least. It's a really awesome song, too. It's called "Satan Place".

Socrates argued that simple acknowledgement of the fact that he knew absolutely nothing made him more knowledgable than those who claim to know anything, Van Halen however, clearly does not know anything. This argument is flawed because by claiming to be more knowledgable than those who claim to know anything, even by virtue of acknowledging that you know nothing, is self defeating. It's like winning a humility contest. Which is what Jesus told people to do, try to be the most humble... and not to worry about material possessions. Because if you do these things, you'll get a mansion on a street paved with gold after you die. Nietzsche used to point out these inconsistencies. You see, that's why philosophy, as well as religion, are useless. Nothing means anything.

I'm down with that. I don't often get opportunities to use my brutalest of the brutal fuck style, but she'd take it gladly, I'm sure. And we videotape it. Me eating the peppers and scallops, I mean.

I laugh a lot at this. It's like the Patton Oswalt bit. See, that's what happens when you go to Hell. Satan compels you to perform the Chipmunk xmas song forever.

I once told Leena I had a dream about her, but it was a lie.

It doesn't show up here, because there's so few women, but girls are way more vicious to other girls than they are to guys too. Oh, the vitriol I've heard spewed at her from other girls lately. I've even had them viciously turn on me for saying "Leave Lindsay A-Lohan." So that's a cultural thing, not just guys having issues with women.

Apparently it does. Not that great, though.
