Fail. Fail. There, now don't you feel better about yourself? Epic Fail

Ask me in three years.

South Park or Family Guy could easily work. Especially Family Guy... hell, you could pick Benjamin Disraeli. With all the cutaways and shit, it's easy. South Park has enough established characters on its own. I'm pre-emptively signing up for either thing, btw.

I know we probably won't have that, but I would enjoy it immensely.

From RonL's list: Good deal, as I've been on something of a Jeff Goldblum kick lately. This is an excellent steal.

Fail.

Ok wait, how many rounds is this going? [in other news, I was just thinking that besides Moe, I probably would take Wiggum over anybody. I'm surprised and pleased I got him. I'm thinking of the "Uosdwis R. Dewoh" scene... so densely funny.]

Both. The Cohen incident: The Ramones incident:

Millions are dying needlessly, and you get filled with rage at this? Fuck you.

No, it's not following instructions. Fail.

Even if we were an intergalactic reality tv show, why would we be nothing more than that? We are nothing more than nothing, and nothing more than anything. Significance is an illusion and as such, a reality.

Gentlemen, to evil!

Pretty standard stuff, Meek didn't like the way he played (reportedly because he wanted someone more reserved and formal, as opposed to Mitchell's individualistic style), and threatened to shoot him if he didn't play it properly. (Similar to Phil Spector doing much the same thing to the Ramones). Meek was an unstable guy.

Trainspotting Now that was a difficult book to read.

Joe Meek pulled a gun on him in the studio once.

30 Days of Night? I haven't actually seen that movie, but in the comic, that's how it was. Let the Right One In was really not like any traditional vampire movies.

Last night, I went to see Doug Stanhope. I didn't really know the appropriate venue to discuss, so here is good. It was strange, going to a comedy show that was standing room. Yeah. It was a music venue. Stanhope's crowd is... losers, psychos, drunks, or just generally, let's say, left-hand path type folks. People were throwing beer glasses around and shit. Stanhope himself... trashed, as usual, and still awesome. He did about 70% new material. One of the funniest moments was when he did his classic child porn bit, and he says "I would watch child porn..." and then he has to pause to collect his booze scrambled thoughts, so it looked like there wasn't even a punch line, just that he would watch child porn. Good times.

Not even. That was actually another reason I liked it, because I'm also tired of the same old vampire storylines. This was something new.

My two favorite guest stars... John [... Waters. But the character was just John] "Look, John, you seem like a perfectly nice guy and all, just stay the hell away from my family." "Well, now you don't get any candy! No, that's cruel. Take a teensy piece." Cooder "Throw another one'a them photo albums on the far." "Which one, Precious Moments or Treasured Memories?" "Quit ye yappin'. Ah'm freezin'! \ "Well, there's no shame in being beaten by the best." "But he didn't seem all that-" "We were beaten by the best, boy."

So that Swedish vampire movie Let the Right One In is finally playing here. It's fucking awesome. I can't recommend it enough. (I was particularly impressed with some of the cgi effects, because it's such an understated story, you always feel like you're watching some indie movie. So when they do come, they're cool and well placed, and really striking. That's a problem with some American horror, it's all just nonstop visuals.)

That actually makes this draft pretty exciting again, cause there's a few I'd take. By this point, I was pretty much on cruise control with this.

I'm amazed that anyone doesn't like "Crimson and Clover". That's why I'm not voting in this at the moment. That's the best song of the 60s and I already know it. No question. We should do best song of the 80s. That'd be a closer competition.

Those are very good picks. Not ones I would have taken, but it's surprising they've lasted this long.
