    “Overwrought” is without a doubt the perfect word for what House has become. The ambivalence of the early seasons is gone: “drugs are bad.” Appropriately for its network Fox, it has become a contemporary American morality play about drugs and bad behavior. It would not surprise me in the least if the Season 6 and series finale should culminate in the baptism of a born-again House.

    Hugh Laurie's new haircut is yummy. Also, everything else about him.

    I've started to call my penis "Dumbledore." Gives it just the right amount of whimsy, no?

    @Foster Kamer: Per the narrative of the Half-Blood Prince, you should be on the lookout for cursed cockrings and other enchanted erotic heirlooms.

    My dad liked Gn'R. And so do I, but only when I'm piss drunk at some shitty dive karaoke bar and I want to totally piss off/annoy everyone by singing (term used lightly here) "November Rain" or "Estranged". Yeah, outside of the situation I don't need any Gn'R in my life. But, um, none of the alternatives listed here (Def Leopard?! for Christ's sake) are any better, except *maybe* Iggy Pop, and even then it's still meh-tastic. I'll stick with Rush :P

    @BookishLookish: Oh, get over yourself, it's all the same. Besides "I wanna be your dog" & "Search and destroy", can anyone name other tunes that don't suck (besides you, you've had enough to say)? His best work is still his bit parts on "The adventures of Pete & Pete".

    @R.J. Zavala: Oh, R.J., don't be like that, honey. Let me school you a bit. It is not the same at all. Like, the Stooges are one group with one set of musicians, and Iggy Pop's solo stuff is another set of musicians. Get my point?

    I haven't been able to look at Axl Rose since I realised his name is an anagram of oral sex. Shudder. Now there's a visual image I don't need.


    Way to ruin a perfectly magnificent pastime, Axl. Why couldn't you have gone with Axl Otyl?


    So, I've had to avert my eyes since the mid '80s. And, the bigger he gets, the more difficult it is to banish him from my line of sight.

    Nah, I have no particular beef with this group, it's just that Gawker only seems to post stuff about Axl and Guns. There are plenty of other lousy cock rock bands I would also make fun of, given the chance.

    Has anyone actually listened to the album yet? I've noticed in the last week or so it's made several high profile "Best Albums of 2008" Lists.


    I'm somewhat intrigued...

    Have those commenters trashing the album actually listened to it? Personally, I think it's amazing, but nobody has to agree with me. Mock me if you will, but I think this album has a place in the canon. WAY over expectations for me.

    @Motoko Kusanagi: I was driving around one day and I actually said to my wife "this sounds like some bad Guns n Roses B-side" when this one song came on, but guess what? It was the new single!


    So, I've heard enough to know I don't want to buy the album. Which is kinda not what a single is supposed to accomplish.

    System of a Down has less descent into whiney pitch squealing, which is hard to sustain while shower singing at full volume.
