This is why the "Spam subject or math rock song title?" thread was so good.

There was a poll of Don Caballero song names on the Noise Board and it was literally impossible to pick one.

"Champagne for My Real Friends, Real Pain for My Sham Friends" is pretty funny.

311 Sucks is the best song they ever wrote.

I have never heard an actual AC song.

After reading the titles, you pretty much have.

I think Anal Cunt is a band that exists solely to be "cleverly" name-checked on ILM.

I can't decide if reading a huge list of AC song titles like that makes them seem more awesome, or if they detract from the individual genius of each song title. Like, just having a song called "Your Best Friend Is You" or "Being A Cobbler Is Dumb" is pretty awesome. But reading a whole list of the song titles shows your their consistency in song-titling, which is another important factor.

I played them, more than once, on my college radio show. I even went to one of their shows, where the singer threw a cinder block into the audience and tried to pick a fight with a homeless guy. They're assholes!

No, they exist so rebellious high schoolers can buy albums by a band named Anal Cunt.

Also their album Picnic of Love is one of the stupidest/weirdest things ever.

xp: Jordan OTM. And because someone gave them money to make shitty records.

Like, just having a song called "Your Best Friend Is You" or "Being A Cobbler Is Dumb" is pretty awesome.

yeah, but where does "You're Gay" fall on that spectrum? So dumb it's awesome or just droolingly witless?

Oh. I had never heard of them until they were "cleverly" name-checked on like every other thread on ILM, regardless of topic.

A friend of mine in high school had an AC-inspired grindcore band. I think it was called F4d3d Mem0ries and one of the hits was Millions of Corpses, to the tune of "Peaches" by the Presidents of the United States of America.

There was a joke militant vegan hardcore band on the W&M campus for a while, I can't remember what they were called but their hit was called "That's Not Vegan" and they had another song about the importance of rescuing animal POWs.

I just looked up my dad on ratemyprofessors.com. The most recent comment: "He's a long-winded man." LOL.

Dan's dad: "Very cool professor, the kind of crazy old guy who has a crap ton of stories about his past archeology digs."

Oh no, now I'm going to start looking up professors I had in college who are still teaching.

This guy is a Mailer-esque tough guy (wrote Eddie and the Cruisers) and I liked him.

This guy is absolutely brilliant and scary.

This guy was easily the worst professor I had, but he's been editing a major literary journal for about 15 years now.

Yeah, I just spent the last 10 minutes looking up all my old professors at K.

(The comments for D4v1d Lynn are pretty hilarious, E.)

I can't find any of my profs! The few whose names I remember are not listed. And searching by other criteris does not help, because there are 934 profs listed for my school.

Oh man, its hilarious to read the comments from sophomore year (i.e. the weed out year) architecture students about the professors at U of I. They hate ALL of them.

(The comments for D4v1d Lynn are pretty hilarious, E.)

Oh, he's terrible. Better to tell stories in person than here.

I never had any English lit classes at KC, so I only know those profs by name rather than my own experience.

Also, no one beats BOB POLLARD for song titles/band names. The Suitcase/Briefcase box sets all have fake band names as well as the required song titles. That's the kind of commitment I admire.

For completeness' sake, my mother: http://www.ratemyprofessors.com/ShowRatings.jsp?tid=381445

Typical of the kind of asshole students she gets, they got her department wrong. She teaches in the same one as my dad.

Yeah, I wasn't sure if that was her because I didn't think she was a writing prof.

My favorite favorite favorite prof EVER: http://www.ratemyprofessors.com/ShowRatings.jsp?tid=527498

I love the complaints about her. Pretty much anyone who complains about her marks themselves as an obvious screw-off because she demands hard work and is incredibly fair.

very biast toward opposing economic opinions.

this person should have jaymc's dad check his spelling.

I'm not on there. Haha.

The only professor I really liked in college has mostly horrible reviews, like this:

'Quite possibly one of the worst professors I've ever had. I went to every boring lecture, but hardly saw the point in going. Each one was merely a study in closing reading of the texts. I learned next to nothing about American literature and almost none of the reading list was the traditional canon.'

I'm pretty sure I added one of the few + ones on there.

also, check me if I'm wrong, Dan, but does "very biast toward opposing economic opinions" mean that she doesn't like students who spout off discredited right-wing batshit economics?

xp - to clarify, my school is there, but there are no "professors" listed.

xp Yeah, pretty much. The main problem is that she teaches a lot of intro and "core" classes so they're pretty big and filled with a lot of asshole freshmen. That and she's never been one to be afraid of challenging people's deeply held beliefs. In her more anthro- classes, she's constantly getting shit from conservative types who don't want to hear about evolutionary concepts and the like.

My favorite professor isn't listed. I wonder if he retired, he was pretty old.

This guy is pretty awesome and now teaches at DePaul: http://www.ratemyprofessors.com/ShowRatings.jsp?tid=452759

hooray dan's mom!

Found him, he was listed in the wrong place: http://www.ratemyprofessors.com/ShowRatings.jsp?tid=245714

My ex, even though she's not actually a professor: http://www.ratemyprofessors.com/ShowRatings.jsp?tid=940653

This guy was the notorious W&M hard-grader, though I thought he was awesome and fair: http://www.ratemyprofessors.com/ShowRatings.jsp?tid=78968

"He is a nice man....but that doesn't give him any right to say that if Jesus Christ took his class, he'd get a B."

I'm sure I've mentioned this before, but I found an ex on rmyprof (from high school) a while ago and these are some of the reviews:

* If he wasn't married, I would marry him in a second.
* ...Oh and although this isn't important to why I ranked him high...yes...he is HOT!
* Todd is so cute. If he didn't have a wife... the things I would do.
* He is so freakin' cute, and he is really funny.
* I adore Todd.
* He is funny, intelligent, nice, and really hot!
* He is really cute but an amazing professor.
* I LOVE TODD! ...Also,Todd is hot, and as we learned in his class I can say that without it being offensive because he's a dude.
* this guy is so hot... i love how he makes everything so interesting. it's so easy to learn when you're staring at his cute face. i love his class. believe me girls, his class is so worth it!
* BONUS, his personality and looks make him very "spongeworthy".
* Hilarious, Intelligent, Nice, and HOT!!!! If Todd were not married I would pursue him until the end of time!
* it's like having a really hot friend teach an interesting class.
* He's sweet, HOT and very good at teaching.

HA!

He totally sleeps with his students, amirite?

what are you trying to tell us?
