The segment about media coverage of the First Ladies (" then they're fucking different! ") was funny. See, I thought this was emblematic of what I don't like about this show. The "then they're fucking different" stuff was just taking something completely obvious about the media ...

How busy is it during lunch these days? I'm taking Thursday off -- have a friend in town for the Orioles/Cubs series -- and am thinking of heading over there before catching a baseball game. Are we cool for grabbing a table if we get there at like 11:45 or so? Also, somewhat related to Kuma's, I've ...

Still, this is a really fucking good album.

Operation Mindcrime was my favorite record when I was in 7th grade. I went back and revisited some of it after seeing this thread, and a few things jump out at me: a) it sounds like shit; b) Geoff Tate can be really annoying; and c) some of it is borderline absurd.
