Best Comment Thread Ever

AV Club sub-thread on a story about the town of Aberdeen WA (his hometown), naming a strip of land next to a river after Kurt Cobain:

Craig J. Clark
Ooh, a strip of land!
Is it the size of a funeral plot?

Cathartic Bullets
that'd kind of suck to be buried in a place you hated, although that almost could guarantee you coming back as a ghost.
Fake Plastic Tree
That would be cool if Kurt came back to haunt the town of Aberdeen.

Jason: Wow. Now that's an EVP of Kurt Cobain.
Grant: It just sounds like a lot of incoherent screaming.
Jason: Exactly.
Ref Cal
anyone who's actually been to Aberdeen also knows that the sign you see upon entering reads: "Aberdeen: Come As You Are."
So it's not like they dislike Kurt... they just dont want a bunch of wankers jumping off their bridge.

Or doing drugs under it.

The Problem

With Reservoir Dogs is the ear scene.

With friends, I've seen the first half of that movie a dozen times; but the ear scene always drives everyone out of the room, and then we forget about the movie. And I don't think I've seen the ending more than once. And even then, I wasn't really paying attention.

Just watched it on my own - washed out some dishes during ear scene.

All the rest?
Fantastic.
Twenty years late, I know.

Poll Smokers

A medical marijuana shop's offer of free pot in exchange for registering to vote appears to have gone up in smoke.

Your Healthy Choice Clinic of Lansing, Mich., had been offering a half gram on its website ahead of a vote for city council seats and after the council approved capping the number of medical marijuana dispensaries within city limits and setting a $1,000 application fee.
...
"We let them know how we feel, we don't tell them who to vote for," she added. "We definitely want to support the ones (city council members) who are supporting us."

That might have been one toke over the line, though:

On Wednesday, the state's attorney general, at the prodding of a state senator, said he was looking into whether the clinic crossed a legal line.

Rhyme Crimes

Last week's lousy lyrics post was fun, so I thought I'd do something similar this week: what is the worst rhyme you've ever heard in a song ?

For some reason, all my examples came from the same guy:

  • With words they try to jail ya /... / but it's the rhetoric of fail-yah
  • You consider me the young apprentice / caught between the Scylla and Charibdes
  • He starts to shake and cough / just like the old man in that book by Nabakov

Oh Sting. Sigh. You can do better.

Got any that aren't from Mr Sumner ?
