Last night was Stereogum’s CMJ party, so needless to say but let’s just say: woof. Please bear with us. Our brains are Christine O’Donnell-caliber not working at the moment. That is one of the highest (lowest?) calibers there is!

'Sup, pogs!
Let's all go to the movies, and let's all see the same movie, and let's discuss it here.
Gabe loves fan fiction. You Can Make It Up features his own personal alternate adventures starring some of our favorite characters.
After watching Death Sentence, a terrible movie starring Kevin Bacon as a father in search of vigilante justice directed by Saw's James Wan, Gabe embarked on The Hunt For The Worst Movie of All Time. This is his sad journey.
It’s okay, Gabe, we believe you were invited to a party, you don’t have to keep trying to convince us.

I’m sure YOU could name at least one writer at Stereogum that you would like to work with.
They don’t have writers at Stereogum, they just copy/paste Pitchfork.
Awww, I think Scott and Amrit (and the other writers I don’t know about) would object…
But yeah they could use more writers with features and ideas for features. It seems so odd that Stereo and Video are both gum family members, but they have little in common as far as style.
I should use this opportunity to point out that I have never read Stereogum OR Pitchfork. In fact, my music selection generally rotates through “Dookie,” “Nevermind,” and “Mellon Collie And The Infinite Sadness.” My statement was a generalization based on my assumption that all Surfin Stevens-related news is identical, and that Pitchfork is the source of all things Surfin’ Stevens.
My music selection is basically the same as yours, except I would trade “Nevermind” for “Mermaid Avenue”. #stuffnoonecaresabout
oh snap! petecambellbitchfacetaco
Have never heard that one before, thanks facetaco.
BTW, Gabe you left early last night, but Freida Pinto was looking for you during Laurel Halo’s set.
I wanted a .gif of the squirrel with the yogurt cup, but all I could find was one of him the night before:
NICE – He has a seemingly neverending pint!
Meanwhile, Back Through The Looking Glass:
Good GRIEF, Christine O’Donnell!
This guy knows what I’m talking about.
Or this guy:
You don’t have to be coy with us, we’re all adults here: you had too much chocolate milk last night and now you have a tummy-ache.
I’m just going to sit here impatiently until Gabe makes with the funny:
MOOOOORRRREEE?!! You want MOOOORRRREEEE?!
A real monster makes his own funny, FLW. You taught me that.
OK, fine. I like to pretend that the dog behind him is watching a tennis match. That makes me laugh because dogs can’t comprehend tennis, never mind its complex scoring system.
Ha! Comedy GOLD!
I have a confession to make: Last weekend, my boyfriend’s grandma told me I look like Christine O’Donnell and I got, like, way too offended by it. She backpedaled a little by saying that, unlike Christine O’Donnell, I have a functioning brain, but still!
Christine O’Donnell is so cute it put her in the running for a job she’s completely unqualified for. I’d take those looks and run with them, Superglue!
Whatever Gabe. We all know you’re a witch. No amount of denial at this point is going to change our minds.
Apropos of Nothing, i am just Gif Happy Today
That is a .jpg, sir! BUSTED!
Oh Hush Your Face, Taco
DAMN it feels good to be a monster.
This made my (crappy) day.
Also, for those of you who now have a hole that needs filling (TWSS), I am currently sitting alone in the chat room. Which is a weird thing for a person to do, but, you know, sometimes you gotta do weird things. But any and all monsters are welcome! http://www.tinychat.com/videogum
Delaware TV host: And when it comes to establishing your worldview, I was curious: what newspapers and magazines do you regularly read to stay informed and to understand the world?
ODonnell: I’ve read most of them, again with a great appreciation for the press, for the media.
DTVH: But, like, what ones specifically? I’m curious.
COD: All of ‘em, any of ‘em that have been in front of me over all these years.
DTVH: Can you name a few?
SP: I love “2 and a Half Men.”
awwwww, I forgot to replace the final SP. Facetaco, I’ll take one of those stamps if you’ve got another sitting around.
Awww, for your sincerity, you have earned a second chance!

Let’s try that again…
The irony is so thick you can spread it on toast.
I had a rough time last night too. I tried to read Blood Meridian for more than 2 hours, WOOF!
thedrizzle read and continued to read and the words stood as testament to truths he wished were not so on that vast and unyielding pan of his night. He looked for reassurance but diabolic rivers of lightning forked the sky to the north and from the south wolves bayed ghostly calls and in these he read no message except urgency. The deadline was October 25.
Shit I only just got my copy 5 minutes ago, im about to admit defeat on making this deadline
Don’t give up, Lizardo! You can do it.

I don’t know how Andy Rooney will top this – the Willow Smith memoirs?
Someone sent this to me this morning and it reminded me of the time Pierre Berton did this video:

Since we have no other agenda, and since I have been alternating between delight and utter befuddlement by this majestic piece of advertising, I thought I would share it with you, dear readers. Behold:
What in the hell?
Oh hi there, inappropriate advertising.
When I was in college, I worked my way through school in the ad department of the school newspaper. At one point, a local sandwich shop wanted some ads that were edgy and “sexy,” kind of like what the above is going for (though this was long before that ad was even a twinkle in the half-lidded beady eye of a permanently hungover mad man). I was tasked with this, and I created a number of completely vile and horrific ads that shocked me to my core, so much that every night I went home and sat in my dingy little off-campus apartment in the dark and trembled at whatever un-checked hyper-misogynist ego this assignment was unleashing, and how if I didn’t stop soon I would not escape with my soul intact. Luckily, I suppose, the sub shop thought my ideas were too tame. I can’t remember exactly what they went with, but I’m pretty sure it involved a close up of a woman’s open mouth.
So a poor performance evaluation, but my soul remained un-crushed, for a few more years at least.
Who approved this ad? Roger Sterling?
horny nerds

“What if head in yogurt cup don’t get it?”
Random bullshit thead? Random bullshit thread. I posted this picture on my Facebook yesterday, thinking it would provide a chuckle or two.
And there’s a now a 90 comment long abortion debate, going strong. That’s why I know you guys are my real friends.
What’s hilarious about this is that at a certain distance eventually all you’d be able to see is “Christian & Pro-Choice”, so it would look like an endorsement. That makes me happy.
I also liked that they chose to stick with “B” even though there was plenty of room for the real word. TEEN KORNER!
Oh man, Huck, bad facebook decision. I don’t have any recent bullshit to report, really, but I DID go play 3D Indoor Blacklight Mini Golf last weekend and these cool guys were painted on the wall:
They looked even more disapproving in 3D.
I’ve seen this before. I like how its so specific it might as well say “, JULIE!!” at the end.
Did anyone watch Top Chef:Just Desserts last night? Because I just wanted to say…
I wonder if the Dawn Plus™ Hand Renewal™ With Olay Beauty™ people were pleased that the episode that prominently featured their product ALSO featured a contestant who was voted off for her food tasting like soap?
The fix was in!
From Teacherman, who is working too hard to post at the moment:
Christine O’Donnell preps for a debate by reading old copies of People magazine at her doctor’s office.
In fairness to her, it was an important appointment! She wanted a medical professional present for the dunking test (witches!). Also the genetic testing to verify that she is, in fact, me.
Man, I’m just so current with these jokes. Like, nobody has probably made these jokes before.
