Harmony feels small in their presence, so she decides to split hairs with the Bear.

'Say, Ron, you look tired. Have you ever been tested for diseases?'

Ron replies, ‘At least I’m not a hideous fucker.’

She says, ‘Are you going home for Christmas? I’m going home. My family’s got money.’

He says, ‘No, we’re staying here. We’re going to find out who that fucking Nick Flannel is, and rule the fucking school. So run home and open your presents. I hope you get a new pillow to cry into.’

It turns out, culture fetishization goes both ways. For every japanophile who wears a mispelled-kanji rayon shirt, there's a fashionista in Tokyo who think's they're capturing the romantic soul of the West. It's the human condition.

Despite people's best intentions, things get lost in translation.

Some things get so lost it's hard to see where they were trying to go in the first place.

Long the bards of downward mobility, Southern Culture on the Skids have always embodied a sleazy, raucous, good-natured, good-time take on the culture of the South. Recently described by Dwight Yoakam (in Filter) as "really on the outside, like Dick Dale meets Hank Thompson," SCOTS have mixed high and low culture for decades, endlessly touring, serving up moonshine martinis and poultry picking for fans everywhere.

Since 1983, when they formed in Chapel Hill, North Carolina, SCOTS have played their unique hybrid of Americana, surf, R&B, rockabilly, and swamp pop (the band describes their sound as "toe sucking geek rock - kinda weird, but it feels good when you're doing it"), all the while driving fans into ecstatic, sweat-drenched paroxysms of joy. Assisted by his cohorts in chaos — drummer Dave Hartman and bassist/singer/heartbreaker Mary Huff — Miller and crew have been prolific and ubiquitous for over twenty years.

From their 1985 debut Voodoo Beach Party, to the international smash, 1998's Dirt Track Date (featuring the hit single "Camel Walk"), and up to 2007's gender bending album of cover tunes — Countrypolitan Favorites, Southern Culture on the Skids have continued to throw what Rolling Stone dubbed "a hell raising rock and roll party." Their 2005 live outing, Doublewide and Live!, captured all of this on tape, dirty, rough, wild and above all fun!! 2010 saw the band’s first self-release, The Kudzu Ranch, plus the reissue of their classic 1991 album, Too Much Pork For Just One Fork. In 2011 the band released the out of print 1996 Santo Swings EP digitally for the first time ever on Cinco de Mayo. And in fall 2011 Zombified, Southern Culture On The Skids’ tribute to the horror and exploitation movies that populated Southern theaters and drive-ins during the 60s and 70s, was re-released. Originally released in Australia as an eight song EP in 1998, the Zombified Extended Release is now a full LP with the addition of five new tunes.

Now, Southern Culture on the Skids has re-recorded and updated every SCOTS original song from 1994’s classic Ditch Diggin' and released Dig This on October 29, 2013 through the band’s own Kudzu Records.

SOUTHER CULTURE ON THE SKIDS in concert ★ November 20, 2014 @ 9pm ★ Doors @ 8pm ★ $15 ★ The Star Community Bar, Atlanta, GA

Artist Marco D'Alfonso has imagined yet another world in the DC multiverse - where Bane was the star of the original Action Comics #1, instead of Superman. And, frankly, this comic universe would have probaby been a lot more interesting.

...

In this exerpt from an officially licensed manga, we see some hilarious(?) hijinks involving the Pokemon world's favorite breeding partner.

Redditor rccrisp has done something truly important and meaningful with his time - he's compiled a whole buncha videogame butts. Here's just a small sample of the huge amount of butts he's compiled into a single, glorious, butt-filled image:

You can't make me apologize for this joke!!! I shan't!!! *swings out window on chandelier* 

Despite what the internet conspiracies say, the Dorkly crew is stuck being Smash-less until the game officially comes out. Heck, we didn't even get an early demo code. But the flood of screenshots being taken from ill-gotten japanese copies is throwing mountains of coal onto the hype train. We haven't been this frustrated about an upcoming release since, well, the last Smash Bros. game.

I can't look at this picture of Mega Man without hearing "Immigrant Song" in my head.

I will be sorely disappointed if Ben Affleck doesn't do this in Batman V Superman, and if it doesn't also go "poom".

A new friend! Heidi! Neat. ANYHOO, since I got that Pinocchio comic happening a week and some days from now, Gunshow updates will change to be on Tuesday and Thursday instead, since Pinocchio will be M-W-F. That way you get something every day of the week, and two things on Wednesday (BACK). So yeah. Not next week but the week after, Gunshow will be Tuesdays and Thursdays. Okay. Good hustle team!!

Thank you all for your kind words about Graveyard Quest's ending. We will see a physical release of it eventually, just not this year. Next year. Definitely by next TCAF at least.

This. Explains. EVERYTHING.

Not saying that Nintendo should consider this idea for an HD remake... but I will hire a skywriter to do it for me.

Teen Titans, WHOA!

Waiting for the bus gives Batman an opportunity to get to know the people... or at least, the grandma's of Gotham.

Artist Mike Mitchell remind us that Superheroes aren't all that different from us if you take away the superpowers, the money, the fame, the cool cars, the millions of admirers... Yeah...

As part of  Gabriel Picolo's 365 Days of Doodles project, he recently went on a tear of daily reinterpretations of some of our favorite basic-cable animations from the long-lost era of "around 10-15 years ago".

Nicolas Cage and his glorious wig appreciate it.
