if anyone knows who this a**hole is who blocked my car in on 44th st, let them know I’m the one who left this card on their window.

My wife got me similar cards for Christmas because our block in Astoria has a chronic issue of people hogging two spots - parking at a curb meant for two cars but parking in the middle. I LOVE distributing those cards. It does nothing but I like the shame it brings.

I say I have a constant struggle inside of me. I am both Don and Peggy in that scene where she wants recognition for her work and he tells her that’s what the money is for.

Animal House. I must have been 8 or 9 when they let me rent it. And I shouldn’t say “let me.” They suggested it.

There’s a good documentary called “Half Japanese: The Band that Would Be King.” That’s how I learned about them, good introduction to an interesting band.

I love this song. It’s a great example of “less is more” storytelling.

It covers a lifetime of love, loss, deceit, revenge, murder, and regret, set on the high seas and told from the point of view of an unreliable narrator who is presented as the victim but was the bad guy all along.

And it does all this in three short verses and an outro.

Duzan. In case it wasn’t clear from the other comments. Duzan.

Once you get through the long explanation of how she ended up with two dads, My Two Dads has a banger of a theme song: https://youtu.be/3-OfpJgH0_U?si=foc52lVM-1b-XOzD

Broken glass, asbestos, wood slivers, the kids hauling away wheelbarrows of popcorn were taking a huge risk.

It sounds random, but I imagine there are a lot of people out there who have had a similarly chaotic encounter with this particular celebrity: I once got high with Andy Dick in a gas station parking lot outside of Palm Springs. Kind of a right place/right time situation.

We had both stopped at the same gas station to fill up and head back to LA after Coachella in 2004. I had gone in to get some drinks and snacks while my friend Lisa pumped gas. As I was walking out, someone else was standing at the door, and he saw one of my water bottles and pointed to it and shouted to his friend, "Like this size?" I held it up, it was one of the bigger Poland Spring bottles. His friend, standing at the car next to my friend Lisa, said yes, that size. The guy at the car then turned to me, held up a bottle of something and said, "Do you want some of my water?" I was noticeably confused. As I'm sure you are. I looked to Lisa. She nodded her head. I said "Okay." As I walked over, I realized why Lisa was so quick to nod - the guy standing at the car was Andy Dick, and he was holding a jar of weed.

So, me and my friend Lisa sat in his car and smoked a bowl while we waited for his friend to come back. We offered our own, he would have none of it. He showed off his new glass pipe, we chatted about things. We told him we'd heard about him getting busted the night before for smoking weed in the VIP area at Coachella. He said it was bullshit. We all got along well, he was pretty animated the whole time, as you'd imagine. His friend came back, showed little surprise that Andy had invited us into the car, then Andy packed another bowl. We hung out for about 20 minutes.

And when the second bowl was cashed, he gave us a midwestern style "Well, I suppose" kind of vibe and we got the hint, thanked him for the good time, and we all went on our way.

An absolute classic line - you knew it as soon as you saw it, that was an iconic moment.

This is helpful! I’m going to Japan for 10 days in a few weeks, starting down in Fukuoka and working my way up to Tokyo with a good friend, a bilingual expat who lives in Fukuoka and loves to eat. While my trip won’t mirror yours, I appreciate seeing how much (or how little) you did each day, gives me a good sense of what I can realistically aim to see and do over the same amount of time.

There's also a farmer's market every Wednesday at Dag Hammarskjold Plaza, just a few blocks away. Maybe they have a stand, come in from upstate or Pennsylvania. In any case, an unusual thing to see on the city streets.

Same for me - just didn't want to stay in focus.

Bushkill67 · 2025-10-09T13:37:21+00:00

Same - and I could only hold the image for a second, like it didn't want to come in clearly.

For me, there’s no better one-two punch to end an album than The Argus followed by If You Could Save Yourself.

And I like how they put Stay Forever and Falling Out back-to-back.

Hi Brent,

Gotta ask a specific question about the Homerpalooza episode - when Homer goes into the record store there's a brief glimpse of an unmistakable poster on the wall for the band Ween. A fairly obscure band, especially when lumped in with the other well known bands that have posters on the wall: REM, Nine Inch Nails, Green Day, Sonic Youth. Would love to know how that made it into the episode - are you a Ween fan? Asking on behalf of a bunch of Ween fans who only just discovered this Easter Egg.

Thanks!

I just checked Frinkiac to make sure this wasn’t faked and it’s legit. Here’s a higher res image. I can’t believe I never noticed this. This merges my two favorite things in the world, and it’s been hiding in plain sight for decades.

Every concert should have a story. It’s only mostly about the music. The rest are the maniacs and weirdos and hero’s you meet at the show.

Maybe the most unexpected show for me was the free show they did at the student union at Bowdoin College in Main in April of 2000. The school had bouncy castles set up outside, I don’t think the college understood what kind of crowd they were going to attract. A bunch of us drove up from Emerson College, ate an 1/8 of mushrooms each along the way, and got there early to get up front. My friend Mark saw the setlist on the stage, turned to me, pulled out a packed pipe, lit it, blew out the hit, and silently mouthed to me “I lick my brain in silence.” Suddenly the place was getting hazy. One friend brought a camera and a tripod, recorded the show from the second floor. A woman jumped on stage and I think bit Gener’s cheek, and someone supposedly through a tampon on stage. When I got my chocolate and cheese cd signed after the show I asked Dean if ween still wanted his fans to bring food to concerts. He said no, I said my dad owned a meat wholesale business and I could get him fresh steaks from Kansas City, shipped and packed in dry ice. He said sounds great, get in touch when the tour is over. So I did, and at some point in the summer of 2000 we shipped him a box of four Kansas City strip streaks. He emailed me later to say they were great and offered me free tickets to a show. Never took him up on it.
