“It would be hard to argue that the world needs V-Nasty’s rapping—...”
– Pretty strong words for a blind item, Pitchfork!
Come on, name names! Also, please confirm or deny if Kreayshawn still exists in 2012, no one has been able to answer my question from last night.

ON THIS DAY
(Well technically it’s still THIS DAY on the west coast) Douglas Wolk is celebrating a birthday.
A few years back I had just started podcasting with the Funnybook Babylon crew and started posting silly recaps of DC’s Countdown to Final Crisis on our blog. I wasn’t doing it for any reason other than to blow off some steam after reading a truly horrible comic, but people seemed to...

God. I am getting so fed up with Wolfram Alpha. This is this morning’s comparison. I experience this at least once a day now for a variety of things. I may not be done with Wolfram Alpha yet, but I can see the day I will be on the horizon, and I am looking forward to it.

The hardest vows to write for the Devillainizer: Realtor, Lawyer, and French. Though I am waiting for the person who self-identifies as Itchy or Cruel to come in and complain.

A Thought Question Past Its Sell-By Date, #2
From Ghostface’s “Be Easy” (an even older song!)
“I’m at the bar with the chipped up wrist (uh) You at the bar whodie drinkin’ my piss (uh) The yellow shit in the bottle ain’t Cris son You turned your motherfuckin’ head, nigga we switched ‘em”
Considering half of “Be Easy” is just about beating dudes up, this is an...
A Thought Question Past Its Sell-By Date
“It’s that Goose and Malibu I call it Malibooyah” - (Kanye West, “Monster”)
Is this line stronger evidence that
a) Kanye West is terrible at naming cocktails?
