I didn't know there was a fan translation of PSO2.

I really want to play this now.

Also, this is probably one of the best Monster Factory's so far, I was laughing and gasping the whole time through.

My mom's a high school English teacher so when I was a kid, I had read all of her books over many afternoons.

So when I saw that movie, I had the weirdest experience watching they movie, because it was a familiar story, told in the most bizarre way.








This was not the only insane high school literature reimagination that John Leguizamo has appeared in.

The character creator is probably the most fun part of PSO2. The rest of the game is a series of increasingly frustrating level grinds and hunting down rare spawn versions of rare bosses and hoping they'll rarely drop rare items so you can get slightly stronger and fight the next difficulty of double plus rare monsters.

My father has been a parrothead since 1975. I grew up listening to his music. The lyrics to Cheeseburger in Paradise were indelibly stamped upon my brain by the age of 4.

Basically, I was born into a tropical prison world.

in a year when all our heroes are either dying our raping people, Mr James Buffet remains just a nice older guy who wants to make coconut shrimp and drink margaritas on a boat and I, for one, am glad.

I didn’t mind the lack of jokes because the whole time I was just amazed that this podcast by three dingleberries from nowhere had become popular enough to get Jimmy Buffett on their show. Also it was really funny when Jimmy revealed that he has a resting heart rate in the low 50s.

Pretty much this. I may have a different opinion if he somehow comes back later down the road, but for a one time thing I loved this episode.

The Boys got one of the richest celebs on the planet on the show and were clearly so awestruck that they let him speak interrupted on just about anything.

Not complaining, not that I would've done any differently in their position, and good on him for pretty passionately addressing social ills of our times - but around the middle of Jimmy's "You need to go to Puerto Rico and start your own avocado farm, have you seen the devastation there" speech I thought "This isn't the funniest episode of the dumb brothers goof show."

It is important to avoid confusion. This is the one that's okay to lick.


I can't stand Jimmy Buffett, but it is not his fault.

Many, many years ago, in the very early 90s, my parents and I spent 10 days at a Caribbean resort that was trying to become the new hot all-inclusive place for rich people to visit. They billed it as "exclusive," but what they meant was "too small to matter." Anyway, they suckered my parents in with some huge discount or something and off we went to attend this gala opening event.

One of the things in the brochure was "entertainment at every meal." At the first dinner, there was a man in his early fifties in the corner. He had a floral-print shirt, an acoustic guitar, a portable drum sequencer, a Peavey amp, and a repertoire of James Buffett's songs. It was kind of neat as a welcome to this little island. One table requested "Why Don't we Get Drunk (and Screw)" and everyone giggled when he changed the lyric to "and shoot pool." People sang along to the chorus of Margaritaville. He got polite, appreciative applause.

Then, he was at breakfast the next day.

And then he was at lunch.

And then dinner again.

They had hired one man, whose entire repertoire came from Jimmy Buffet's "Songs you Know by Heart" album, and not even the whole thing.

For.

Every.

Meal.

Honestly, you could tell he could tell it was wearing thin by day three, but he (apparently) had to play to fulfill his contract. So we got instrumental versions. Uptempo. Downtempo. But never any other songs. Never any Harry Belafonte, or Bob Marley, or even any Beach Boys. Just Margaritaville, Volcano, Changes in Attitude, Changes in Latitude, Pencil Thin Mustache, Fins, Son of a Son of a Sailor, Come Monday, Boat Drinks, and the big finisher of Cheeseburger in Paradise.

I'll never know why a man who appeared to be able to play the guitar fairly well could only ever play those songs from that album. Maybe he couldn't store more drum tracks in that sequencer's memory? Maybe he was a friend of a friend who didn't realize it was more than one performance? Was he tricked into doing it? Did the hotel manager pick the setlist and refuse to budge? Whatever his reasons, the mood around him went from appreciative to tolerating to accepting before it just settled on acrimony. People rushed past his station at the head of the buffet line, no longer making eye contact. People began arriving early so they could claim the tables farthest from him first. The applause stopped. No one sang along.

The hell of it was that he was being put up in one of the resort rooms, so even between meals he'd still be there at the pool, on the beach, or in the lounge. It was a tiny place, so there really wasn't a way to avoid running into the same people over and over. No one else was ever with him, though. Most people avoided eye contact. He was miserable. We were miserable. But he'd sure as hell be there at the next meal, playing and singing those same nine songs.

On about day 6, he announced, true or not, that he'd lost his voice and wouldn't be able to sing for us. The announcement got his first round of applause since day two.

Weirdly, I found the interview with him to be interesting and entertaining. I guess I don't mind the man himself, but I can't listen to those songs even now. It's not really his fault, after all.
