To the bin with them. Just let them go.

I mean - that's your whole knee and quite a bit more besides on display there.

It's his trademark! Show 'em a little flesh, and the chicks roll in.

I'm more upset at the haircut, but that's my issue.

no man, i never give up on any favorite pair of jeans until they are A: ripped beyond wear-ability or B: lost.

i once knew this really hot girl who was telling me once about how some other girl stole her favorite pair of jeans, which she said she wore every single day. i was like, man, hot girls do that too? they wear their favorite pair of jeans for days in a row? well in that case i'm never letting go of my favorite pair.

side note: how is a "pair of jeans" a pair? it's one item!!!!

and PS - few people have the guts to wear torn-around-the-knee-area jeans these days. hats off to you steve.

Does that include jeans with a rip through the crotch, so your boxer shorts show through? Because I have two or three otherwise fine pairs that all share that problem. It's easier to get away with wearing jeans like that when you're in high school and/or don't care about life.

Dude, I'm taking you to task here...

Team Submarine are not even in the same fucking stadium as Scharpling & Wurster.

Come on now.

I've been going through the archives at work pretty much nonstop since you posted it. The Maria Bamford, Patton Oswalt and Amy Sedaris ones are my favorites so far.

Wish they'd hurry up and post this one though.

I didn't mean to suggest that they were. What I meant was that their approach is similar to, and perhaps even inspired by, S&W. In presenting conversations between an outrageous, overconfident fool and a long-suffering straight man/voice of reason, they reminded me a great deal of classic bits like "Mother 13" and "Chocolageddon."

i wear jeans for at least four days before they hit the laundry. i wear t-shirts for 2-3 days in a row. socks, one day; underwear, one day.

On Halloween night, Steve Albini gave an entertaining interview onstage at Chicago comedy theater Second City. It was part of a taping for The Sound of Young America, an NPR radio show and podcast "about things that are awesome."

I am picturing of course Steve hopping around in an Ed Grimley wig.

I used to do this but then i gave up underwear. This would be way more (legally) problematic for me now.

It was not like that so much.

BTW, is "Boombats" an homage to Vinnie Boombats of Cambridge, MA?
