Newsflash: Robert Crumb Is Controversial.
It's probably some College Republican douchebags writing the letters. It's like their full time job, before they graduate to become the future Tim Eymans or Sarah Palins of the world.

Special Menu.
That server should be fired for showing a white person the SECRET MENU.
Yeah, Sichuan on 12th & Jackson is good. Jack's Tapas is pretty good. There is a little hole-in-the-wall place north of Uwajimaya that serves the best beef noodle soup. You will never eat pho again once you have this stuff (or if you do, you will secretly laugh at its watery broth and puny thin noodles).

From Wild to Mild.
This movie is one of the very few, if not the only recent one, to portray how it really feels to be a kid. Max's dialogue wasn't a bunch of smart-alecky, double entendre quips. It was how a real boy would talk, a stream-of-consciousness flow of run-on sentences. The conversation about "recrackers" and materials that would withstand such a device rang true.
Likewise, if you view the monsters as a projection of Max's emotions and insecurities, then the movie makes sense. Carol is Max himself, all needy and angry. KW is either his mother or sister, sometimes supportive, sometimes too busy playing with her stupid friends. The goat guy is probably Max's "Milhouse", the nerdy kid who tries to be his friend in school.

Deep Thought.
You know what would lead to a crackdown? Lesbians sharing a peck on the cheek at the ballgame. That public display of homosexuality destroyed my marriage.

Battle Royale (With Cheese).
I've been to LL twice. The lady who works the register is like the Soup Nazi. I understand it is hectic and busy, but they could work on their customer service. Also, there is no room to eat inside.
The Counter is next to my gym. I will simply eat there and then work my ass off.

What Happened to TBTL?.
@4 Yeah, it's much more interesting to listen to an angry old white guy shouting catchphrases like "death panels" and "socialism".
