n8: i'd have to say "yum". for some reason NC food trucks have started to really take off and the ones in and around Chapel HIll, Carrboro and Durham rock with amazing selections, even healthy choices.

The Charming Clementine: Food Friday: Goat Cheese
n8: exactly what my tasting notes say.

"firm, dense and smooth with the slight graininess of a long-aged cheese. The flavor is nutty and brown-buttery, with prominent caramel notes"

Is her sister an elderly kindergarten teacher or does she just write like one?
Are her parents paying for her college?
How did they stop her from doing her zine, etc?

So many questions! Victoria! Please come back and clarify!
Wednesday, September 01, 2010 : 10:17

Art Colony: please call LaTonya
stu: Chris, because there were far more psychotic things going on in every single paragraph of this post. We had to prioritize, otherwise the robot would have been "Victoria is crazy!!!" 24-7, and we needed time to fit in the other people who are also crazy.

Post-Modern Drunkard: The Song of the Summer
stu: Being a guy of Scottish descent who spent some time in Scotland, I can tell you that Scots are not altogether thrilled about being British, but still technically are. They're really offended if you call them English (the same way Canadians get offended if you think they're from the US). But they do say "cunt" with the same basic frequency as the English, which was my point.
Monday, August 30, 2010 : 09:30

Post-Modern Drunkard: The Song of the Summer
anne: from my experience- scotts aren't really the same as brits- officially, yes. but not so much in real life. (I vote scott if you're wondering who to hang out with, look for a decent tip from or marry)

And consider, If this is all the reparations we have to make- we're getting off cheap. Just had it pointed out recently by my mother that those charming old farm houses that dot the countryside in N.C. are surrounded not by old drying pork part shacks- but in fact are

anne: I can't tell, did you say you like Top Chef? What I enjoy is coming to rely on how much other people enjoy eating food on t.v. and then believing them. I. just. love. that. I don't know what they're really eating, or if I would eat it- but its entertaining me! And I just ate a pack of saltines with mustard for dinner!
Spooked out by music. I'm glad to hear you say that. Me, too.

j: I was making a point of clarity, not a criticism.
Sunday, August 29, 2010 : 22:08

Post-Modern Drunkard: The Song of the Summer
stu: I have to say, of all the criticisms for language in this post that I expected to receive, I was not expecting "Calling a Scot a Brit" to be the first one to surface.
Sunday, August 29, 2010 : 16:58

Post-Modern Drunkard: The Song of the Summer
stu: Yes, he is. Which is part of Britain.

He does have a line later on in the movie, "Don't ever call me English again."

But Scots are Brits.

Post-Modern Drunkard: The Song of the Summer
j: This is the wittiest song I've heard in awhile. I laughed.

Just a point of clarity, Malcolm Tucker (the character in In The Loop who utters that wonderful line) is from Scotland.
Sunday, August 29, 2010 : 13:42

Post-Modern Drunkard: The Song of the Summer
stu: He doesn't say that Cee-Lo does, but the song does say "nigga" a couple times, in a more or less direct quote of "Gold Digger." It's more playful than anything else, but you can't expect Bozell to understand artists interacting with each other through their music and creating deeper meanings as a result.
Sunday, August 29, 2010 : 01:03

Post-Modern Drunkard: The Song of the Summer
chris: I love "Brent Bozell as Art Critic". This man wouldn't know art if it pissed on a cross in a jar.

And, for the record, Brent, Cee-Lo never actually drops the n-bomb himself.

Post-Modern Drunkard: Bucket Menu
stu: Crap, I haven't actually had an In N Out Burger since I got out of the hospital! There are none on this coast.

The burgers are very different, almost different dishes, but I think the Burger Joint's is better. It's also about two to three times as expensive.

Uuu, after reading Ebert and NY Times, I see what the movie is. Still not seeing it.

Post-Modern Drunkard: Tik Tok
cromulent: And as far as the album is concerned, it does make a demented sort of sense to call it "Andy Warhol," as that' the only text that appears on the cover, aside from the name of the band.
Friday, August 13, 2010 : 15:41

Post-Modern Drunkard: Tik Tok
cromulent: A little internet poking-around indicates that the non-Kuntuckyness of JD may be neither a necessary nor sufficient reason to not call it bourbon. The real reason may have to do with aging, filtration, or both. I, too, thought that it was as simple as "bourbon must be made in Kentucky," but I don't think that's the case.
Friday, August 13, 2010 : 15:40

Post-Modern Drunkard: Tik Tok
stu: It's probably best if I just footnote every paragraph [sic].
Friday, August 13, 2010 : 15:33

Post-Modern Drunkard: Tik Tok
stu: As for "Andy Warhol," I have no idea how the album was mislabeled. I didn't import it myself, only got it from someone else, and didn't really pay attention to it until I was researching the album while writing the post. The fact remains, I listened to that album "The Velvet Underground & Nico" because I went to start "Animal" and instead hit "Andy Warhol" instead.
Friday, August 13, 2010 : 15:32

Post-Modern Drunkard: Tik Tok
stu: Indeed, you are technically correct in both regards, and if I had been more sober whilst writing this, I might have commented on both instances.

Jack Daniels is technically "bourbon-style" whiskey. It, however, strikes me as obscuring the truth rather than illuminating it to say that it's not bourbon, though. FWIW, I also think champagne can be made in California, and Feta can be made in France.
Friday, August 13, 2010 : 15:30

Post-Modern Drunkard: Tik Tok
cromulent: Jack Daniels ≠; Bourbon.

Also, I've heard that album called a lot of things, but never "Andy Warhol." Seems like the simplest solution, when you look at the cover.

Sunshine Jen: Neat Lay Glove
stu: Also, I want to make an EAT PREY LOVE movie, about my life as a carnivore. Or maybe a sexy vampire who actually has sex rather than smoldering with glitter.

This could be really big.
