Anonymous asked: If you don't like the way it tastes I have another way to make cod that I just tried a couple weeks ago it worked for me. Instead of egg and matzoh/breadcrumbs try buttermilk, then roll it in a mix of like 3/4 flour 1/4 cornmeal with a little pepper and salt then you fry that. buttermilk makes it stick better than the egg does. I think my own severed hand would have tasted good though if...

WatchThis month’s #1 show at Channel 101, the sublime GUMBEL by Kyle Reiter, DeMorge Brown and co. (Kyle Reiter also co-created my all-time favorite 101 show, Le Typewriter— his shows always look like a million bucks). It was easy to spot what the #1 show would be— I felt like the crowd was definitely there with Gumbel. But what a tough month to vote on. Everything felt really...

– In Carl Persing’s defense, it’s not like Dawn Sewell’s vaginal area was just going to lick itself. Thanks a lot, Southwest Airlines!

I’ve always been less obsessed by Bruce Sterling’s writing in Cheap Truth, and much more obsessed by his speech to a Game Designers Conference in California in 1991, a speech called the Wonderful Power of Storytelling—
“I don’t think you can last by meeting the contemporary public taste, the taste from the last quarterly report. I don’t think you can last by...

– Mason High School was about 15 minutes away from the suburban town I grew up in (go Mustangs!). It’s weird the shit that makes you homesick, isn’t it? That time they found a bunch of videotapes of girls that the sheriff’s kid was secretly taking from his closet. Or that rumor...

– Rob Corddry, talking about Childrens Hospital at the Onion. A Masters of Evil plotline for Childrens Hospital sounds completely amazing, but he’s kinda right that it probably wouldn’t be a Children’s Hospital episode really. These AV Club interviews are always so great—...

– Steve Jobs, speaking to Rupert Murdoch as quoted in Walter Isaacson’s biography of Jobs. (via ibrill)

– The new Klosterman piece is … oh boy, is there ever a whole lot there to unwrap. This one just pushed, like, all of my buttons. P.S. the 40-second mark of that Herman Cain ad forever. I will never stop talking about it!

– How does an ad like that even happen??? I just want to know everything about this. I want an Oral History of this to be done by Tom Shales. I want to know everything. Doesn’t that dude own his own pizza company? Don’t you inherently know people in advertising if you run a business...

– The only thing surprising about this is that anyone thinks you can dig up dirt on the guys who make South Park. The show prominently features a talking piece of poo— what could you possibly think you’re going to find? The creators went to the Oscars on acid wearing women’s...

Hönkers #4!
actor:
Damn, I have talented friends.
My friend Nico drew this for me and it’s close to being better than the actual show.
People in the industry always wonder why we make these shows for Channel 101 for free. The answer in this post. It’s because I get to work with amazingly gifted people. People like Nico, who come from all over (he showed up from Arizona) the country and world...

– LA Times, with the zinger. (Also: there’s a second article analogizing this chicken spill to a chicken spill in Hollywood in 1969…??? The LA Times has covered this chicken story from multiple angles!).

– Oh, hey, I think the war just ended…? Boy, this has been weird— we’re still in X # of wars (I lost track two or three back), but even having lived through Desert Storm, I always thought life during wartime would have been, I don’t know, different somehow. Or that a war...

– Rick Santorum is really just fucked in the head. I don’t know a lot about his biography; at what age exactly was he skull-fucked? Or was he just fucked in the head at birth— or like, you know how the doctor slaps a baby? Did Rick Santorum’s doctor slap him across the face with...

I’ve never been able to watch the Carrie Fisher scene in Blues Brothers just for itself— that scene freaked me out really badly as a kid because I saw it when I was too young to understand what was going on. Like, I remember really thinking Belushi was going to get murdered AND that he kinda deserved it for some reason. I was that young. So everytime I saw the movie since, I’d...
