60% of the fellas who read this will try it and I'm one.

One day I’ll get this one:

Corruptible Seed

Imagine if you went to a Sir Mix-A-Lot concert and he DIDN’T play Teenage Dirtbag

A significant and unwelcome part of growing up is realising how many of the things you were reflexively opposed to as a yoof in fact kinda rule actually.

Look buster it just doesn’t work on me and I know I’m the one missing out but hey I’m too old to change now

I don't get Terry Pratchett. I understand his heart might have been in the right place but it's all whimsy and glurge as far as I can see. I understand people feel this way about Vonnegut, who I mostly love, so fair play to ya do what ya want.

“Piracy is the most effective form of artistic distribution these days. So be it.”

I hear that many original episodes of Dr Who have been erased and lost forever. If you have any leads on where lost Dr Who tapes might be, PLEASE let me know and I will erase them for you.

As an entitled New Zealand PM, Luxon is entitled to the entitlement of one re-election #sorted

he's going to kill the children in their dreams

I always thought so. He also fatally shot himself.

Last night about a dozen people watched Red Rock West at the Roxy in Wellington and you shoulda bin there. One of the tightest and most rewarding neo-noirs of the 90s and that’s saying something. Maybe my fav Nic Cage performance.

Politicians love refusing to rule out things almost as much as they love refusing to be drawn on things.

Yeah, there's a big gap between a 5-10k longread and an 80k book, but those are the only shapes you're allowed for many pieces of non-fiction. In the days of Pelican paperbacks, 100-200 pages was a very normal length to explore an idea.

Yes yes shocking poll result but still I think voters just really need to get to know the real Christopher Luxon. Then they'll vote him out for sure.

Penthouse it was. I was there for Elvis.

*ginger beer, not ‘go get beer’. However it is Friday so don’t mind if I do

Great! That’ll do nicely. Oh wait no ginger ale. Ok I’ll take a go get beer on the side. Oh wait there’s not much Jameson left. Poured me a quadruple - the rest of the bottle - and charged for a single. Elvis movie was good too.

Last night I went to the movies and ordered my movie drink: a whisky ginger. They said they didn’t usually have whisky but they did tonight for some Peaky Blinders thing, but it was “sour whisky”. I asked what this meant and they said “Um whisky sour I mean”. I asked what kind it was. Jameson...

I think that one has gone so far that it can be employed knowingly

I know there’s other stuff going on the dog woke me up early this AM and I’m right irritable

I cannot stand it in an autobiographical solo show when the performer says “I find myself…” it’s so fucking lazy cut it out.

you don’t get death cults these days because of woke

Late 90s US was pretty cooked really. Columbine, wrestlers falling to their deaths, Ken Starr, the Guatemalan insanity pepper Simpsons episode and such.

They showed a lot of the Heaven’s Gate cult stuff at the time. The police vids and the ones they made themselves.

Mass market paperbacks are being discontinued. They are, in my opinion, the best format for books. Here is a a thread of some great covers from various publishers. First up, Pan.
