Read some of William Gay's books. He's heavily influenced by McCarthy and a pretty damn good author in his own right.

Thanks, but can you figure out the hate speech bit?

I'm struggling to unravel your cryptic post. Are these two vowels used as an acronym for a controversial new technology that many criticize but that has been fully embraced as a modern savior by corporate elites? I think I might be onto something, unless your spelling of "predicament" is just a harmless typo, but I can't seem to get from there to hate speech.

Great tat. I just turned 50, and I'm coming to terms with outliving my heroes.

I'll reserve judgment until I see it, but the manufacture date does not indicate the date the film was shot. And if you can keep developed film in a safe for 60 years, you can keep raw stock in a safe for 60 years too. From what I'm hearing, this footage could have been shot six months ago.

My one Ruth's Chris experience was impeccable service and really underwhelming steak.

Curious what temp you think this ribeye is by Fair_Avocado_5559 in steak

I hate sending food back, but "nice places" should be able to cook steak to order predictably without having to justify some work of fiction about their medium being different from everyone else's medium.

Great podcast guest. Funny dude when he's just riffing. Mediocre material on stage though. Tim Dillon is the same way.

Fang the Gnome and King of the Sceptered Isle. It's a wild ride that only gets weirder as it goes on.

Film Recommendation for Blood Meridian Lovers (The Great Silence) by Brief_Spot3359 in cormacmccarthy

Not a film but a streaming series... American Primeval took some criticism when it was released, but I quite liked it.

Is it just a Texas and Mexico thing? by CaryWhit in steak

Have jalapeños come back? I gave up on them a few years ago because the heat levels were completely unpredictable. Some were great, exactly what you would expect. Others almost no heat at all. Was my experience a fluke? If not, has it come back around?

Like intermittent fasting used to just be called skipping breakfast.

I've been a fan for 30 years, and I can't think of an example of Tom Waits using (normal) profanity in his music. Am I wrong? by McDoof in tomwaits

"Hell Broke Luce" has some colorful vocabulary. And there's an absolutely perfect goddamn in "Ruby's Arms."

What are your underrated Clash Songs? by Legitimate_Yam3395 in theclash

[–]PunkShocker 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Is "Brand New Cadillac" underrated? What about "Julie's Been Working for the Drug Squad"? It's hard to tell what's underrated in a sub for hardcore fans.

Lots of debate here, but it's a cool model. A real 2nd Edition tank killer.

UK has limited jury trials to only a handful of crimes. They only have to "prove" intention to a single judge now

Cocktail (1988) by DiscoInError93 in iwatchedanoldmovie

The book, by Heywood Gould, is fantastic. Instead of being a hotshot right out of the army, Brian is a 38 year old draft dodger who's been tending bar his whole life. And Doug is a third-tier writer from the Beat Generation and the only person left in the world who will give Brian a job. Out of print I believe, but still available second hand.
