What the is this?
Comic books, rock 'n' roll and movies. I like to think that I've matured past 14-years-old but I suppose you will have to be the judge of that.

A Failure Pie in a Sadness Bowl



Buy Patton Oswalt's Werewolves and Lollipops to own this bit and plenty of other comic gems.

There are just somethings on the Internet that scream "link to me on your blog!" The A.V. Club had the bright idea to take comedian Patton Oswalt and have him actually "eat his words" but trying the KFC "Famous Bowl" he has satirized in his stand-up act. What did Oswalt find? From the article: "The gravy, which I remembered as being tangy and delicious in my youth, tasted like the idea of blandness, but burned and then salted to cover the horrid taste. The mashed potatoes defiantly stood their ground against the gravy, as if they'd read The Artist's Way and said, "'I'm going to be boring and forgetful in my own potato-y way!'"

The article has plenty of funny stuff to be found. It's a great example of Oswalt's type of comedy, where he just locks in on a target and destroys it with a heaping amount of grotesques descriptions and pointed references.
