Since re-reading Inherent Vice, I have been thinking about a menu item available at a fictional oceanside San Pedro restaurant, The Belaying Pin. No one ends up ordering it, so I don’t know what’s in it, but its name resonated: The Admiral’s Luau. In my head it’s one of those big baskets of assorted deep-fried seafood, cradled in wax paper and served with lemon and tartar sauce. I’d like to eat an Admiral’s Luau this summer, maybe at the location they used for the Inherent Vice film, which is a floating restaurant called The Chowder Barge.

Ozzy is one of like 3 people in Decline of Western Civilization Part 2 that comes off as a decent human being and I always love the scene where Penelope Spheeris interviews him making breakfast while he explains the ups and downs of the business.

that being said it was also hilarious hearing the PSA guys on monday scoffing at the idea of Bill Clinton being brought in for a congressional hearing on the matter now as totally ridiculous

every conservative in the country rallied behind a person who was a well-known, admitted associate of America's most notorious pedophile for three elections cycles when the information had been publicly available - hope someone asks some of them about it!

It’s amazing that Osees can put out a 22 album cassette box set that doesn’t even have any of my top 5 Osees albums (complimentary)

would you believe the cth green room involves a lot of animated hollering about obscure online drama. the bit about checking yelp reviews of local delivery places was very real tho
