Wake Up, Geek Culture. Time to Die
Pop culture will become self-aware. It will happen in the A.V. Club first: A brilliant Nathan Rabin column about the worst Turkish rip-offs of American comic book characters will suddenly begin writing its own comments, each a single sentence from the sequel to A Confederacy of Dunces. Then a fourth and fifth season of Arrested Development, directed by David Milch of Deadwood, will appear...

I-10 to Destin. Cold yet humid, foggy, idiots doing 90, idiots doing 40. In other words: Christmas in Florida.

“If you can plug it in, it doesn’t count.” This has to be a recent sitcom line. I love my wife but she didn’t come up with that on her own.

In the dentist’s chair, hygienist smells like Benetton, “World in My Eyes” comes on the radio… HOT TUB TIME MACHINE 2: ORAL CARE!!
Is it weird that Dead Milkmen’s “Ringo Buys a Rifle” feels like a Christmas song to me? Likewise Sugarcubes’ “Motorcrash.”

Staff Trax: DC9 At Night
