Have you ever been to see a band that are so terrible that you not only want to run screaming from the venue that you'd pay to be takn far away and shoot the journalists who rated uch a band so highly?
Well tonight i had the dubious honor of seeing Ok Go live in person! And they were the weakest streak of piss i have ever seen, the paper said "the cure mixed with the Pixes." Sounds good huh? Well imagine Weezer being fed through an 80's irony machine worked by a lobotomised Andrew W.K. Hey, i like AWK and Weezer but Ok Go were shocking, sigh...
What made it worse was that the support act were so amazingly good that as soon as they ended i could of gone home quite happy. They were called Mew and they were achingly beautiful Flaming Lips-esque sonic rockers. the overall difference was that Mew made me want to kill myself for all the right reasons, Ok Go made me want to die for exactly the wrong reasons!
rant rant rant etc etc etc

I saw Chuck Palahniuk speak at a small gallery back in October/November. Very entertaining, I can say that I found his speech & manner more amusing than his books. Which I'm sure some people will be displeased with me for, but I've had bad experiences with his fans (i.e. dated a boy for a while who had these bizarre ideas about sex/relationships... when I wanted an explanation, he said, 'Chuck Palahniuk advocates it!' Oh dear).
I think that pirates are just a general internet meme. I'm sure that you can find such things on fark.com and whatnot.
Futurama is awesome, but the episode w/ Fry's dog... sniff sniff it kills me. heh.
