SEARCH: "The Bottom Line," "E=MC2", "Medicine Show," "Contact," "Rush" "The Globe."
DESTROY: "C'mon Every Beatbox," "Just Play Music", their silly hats circa #10 UPPING STREET, the title of that album, their annoyingly cumbersome habit of changing their name (first Big Audio Dynamite, then Big Audio Dynamite II and the simply Big Audio) and everything they did after 1991. Everything after THE GLOBE was a....wait for it....Big Audio Mistake!

Capable of great singles - "The Bottom Line," "Medicine Show," "E= MC2," "Contact," "Rush," "The Globe,"....but will forever live in the shadow of The Clash.
"C'mon Every Beatbox" was crap tho'.

If I'm in a car going 60 mph in Crazy Frog's direction and you're Crazy Frog on a motorcycle going 75 mph in my direction, how long until one of us inadvertently starts harboring real feelings and what is the magnitude of our heartbreak and subsequent distrust for the opposite sex?
Please answer in the form of a question.

both 'Liberal' and 'Conservative' have been overused incorrectly by ninnies for so long that it means absolutely nothing Sometimes, I wish I carried a solid iron cricket bat with several huge rusty spikes jutting from it. And anytime some wingnut used "Liberal" as a noun, I could cluestick them upside their pointy little head. "It's not a Noun, Fucknugget! 'Liberal' is (THWACK!) a mutha- (THWACK!) fuckin' (THWACK!) descriptor (THWACK!) it modifies a (THWACK!) Noun. A person (THWACK!) can't be a 'Liberal' (THWACK!) or a 'Conservative' for the same (THWACK!) goddamned (THWACK!) reason (THWACK!) they (THWACK!) can't (THWACK!) be a 'Begrudginly'!" So, to recap: both 'Liberal' and 'Conservative' have been overused incorrectly by ninnies for so long that it means absolutely nothing. Political debates might as well be a bunch of fat white guys complaining about opressive unicorns and bleeding hearted hobbits.

I heard a rumor that the only reason HRC wanted the job in the first place was because WJC left a suitcase like that one in Pulp Fiction in a secret under-the-floor compartment in the Lincoln bedroom, and whoever owns this suitcase/jewelled sceptre/magic shillelagh has the power to rule the world and shit like that so the VP slot is worthless to her because she wouldn't be able to get into the bedroom, so now Chelsea has to begin the long ascent to the presidency just for that one climactic scene where she pries the floorboards open

Er, AC/DC are Hard Rock, or Pub Rock or something. I'm not sure you could go so far as to call them Metal. Metal is a form of Hard Rock. But this is just genre-hairsplitting. Thats why genres suck. We should file everything in the record store under "Sounds" and leave it at that.
Customer #1: "Where can I find an AC/DC record?" Store Clerk: "Ummm...try under 'Sounds' " Customer #2: "Excuse me, wheres your Polka section?" Store Clerk: "All polka records are filed under 'Sounds' " Customer #3: "Yo, whassup? I'm lookin' for..." Store Clerk: " 'Sounds!' "
