lord custos tribute thread

When I run for President some day, part of my platform will include the formation of the Department of Spelling and Grammar in Pop Culture and Store Signage. This will be bad news for Christina "Dirrty" Aguilera, Timbaland ("The Way I Are"? Seriously? This is a hit? Why?), Fall Out Boy ("Thnks Fr Th Mmrs"), and every artist whose name starts with "Yung." All will be doing hard time in the clink, although none of them will have a sentence as long and harsh as repeat offender Nelly, whose new single, "Wadsyaname," has left a trio of beloved words — what's, your, and name — battered and bloodied beyond recognition. (Click here to hear it over at PopEater.) It's the musical equivalent of that drug-store poster declaring, "Its you're pharmacy!"

Admit it, you're totally going to vote for me. President Slezak. My mom will love that!

Also: Who else should be taken away in handcuffs my first day in office?

Nobody in that comments box has yet mentioned "The Beatles"

when i IM'd that link to ethan my stomach started hurting at the idea that this guy is now an ostensible "peer" of mine

reading the comments there makes me want to cry

comments boxes everywhere are pretty horrifying

Yeah, I'm a fucking copy editor and I don't care how the hell musicians spell things, as long as they're not writing something for my company. Fergie singing "like a child misses their blanket" does kind of grate, though.

(xpost)
Aren't they! they seem to be the nr1 idiot-attractant on the interweb!

in blacker, more misanthropic moods, i assume most people are like comments-box people...

The WORST offence:

“I am going to” is now “I’ma”. Four words reduced to three letters.

OH NO

Any and all recording artists who use "shorthand" such as "I'm a Slave 4 U" or "Since U Been Gone" should be taken away and beaten with rulers until the grammar rules seep in. Is it that hard to slip in the extra consonants and vowels these words deserve? I think Prince started this revolution so he should bear the brunt of the punishment. I'd gladly join the Task Force on Grammar Inforcement under the Slezak Administration!

Nice reference to the Revolution, though.

Inforcement

I was just about to post "the complete lyrics of If You're Feeling Sinister if they were written by RJG," but after a while a had a Custos flashback and thought better of it.

Well, the Latins are more orange coloured people than coloured people per say, no? You couldn't put Robin Gonzales next to Miss Eliott and have peoples mix them up :)

Hey guys. Do you ever just get sad? Do you ever just want to go to a place and be alone where people are very unlikely to come and bother you? You ever just want to BROOD ON A ROOFTOP?

I am feeling kinda down right now, and would like some good advice on the topic of ROOFTOP BROODING. Like, can anyone recommend some good roofs in the NYC area (preferably convenient to Astoria, Queens)? Is the brooding more effective if you're right next to some gargoyles? Is it better to brood on the steeple of a church, or on a generic rooftop with one of those wooden water towers? What's a better brooding position -- squatting down, or kinda leaning out over the edge as though you're about to pounce on the city?

Also, what are the potential downsides of rooftop brooding?

"To please me and bounce from here to the coast of overseas" is genius!

I loved it when Marjorie Dawes did a version of No Scrubs on Shooting Stars.

If you have a shorty that you don’t show love

eh?

If you don’t have a car and you’re walking

should we assume that TLC would not be swayed by an environmentalist argument? "Sure I could *afford* a car, but think of the *planet*, love".

So - Al Gore is one of, if not the, most influential person in bringing about the internet AND the single person most responsible for raising awareness about global warming?

We need to set this guy to work on some more practical, everyday stuff:

- Potato chip bags that keep chips fresh, but don't threaten to split wide open past a certain amount of power put into the opening effort
- Bartenders who let you get your money's worth
- Collar stays that you don't lose

Al Gore is too big picture. I need more micro, less macro from my Tennessean Savior
