"We may never know if Chinese Democracy is the record Axl Rose set out to make in 1994 – before the first of eight guitarists passed through his revolving door – or just an attempt to draw a line under the whole saga and move on."

Somehow the latter seems a bit more plausible....

Fake congratulations!

Dear Everybody Else on Planet Earth,

Please wait to do anything involving Christmas until after Thanksgiving.  The American Thanksgiving.  This includes, amongst other things, putting Christmas ads on TV, putting Christmas displays in your stores, putting Christmas lights on your houses, so on and so forth.  Christmas is great and everybody loves it but it is very possible to have too much of a good thing.  Let's not make Christmas any less special than it already has become.

Your friend,

Matt

Dear The Same People Matt Addressed:

I second the above. Plus, enough with the animated breast avatars. During, before, and after the Christmas season. Thanks.

Your friend,

Patrick

if they're spending that cash to produce more seasons of Mad Men, then i could care less.

French guy does "Thriller" a capella - in sixty four part harmony.

Vincent Price with a French accent totally rules. Happy Halloween, y'all.

And how exactly is he supposed to continue his search for the real killers while he's rotting away in a prison cell?

Now we'll never know who killed Ron and Nicole.  Real smart, Las Vegas jurors.  Reeaaal smart. 

he's going undercover - DUH. the killers must have been arrested for something else, and they're in the same prison. it will be a matter of days until he apprehends them and this whole "armed robbery" ruse will be revealed as a red herring, to be followed by parades, balloons, etc.

now it's the Sunday before Thanksgiving... maybe?

yes, Matthew, that is correct.
