Wow. I really haven’t visited that site until today. For this story and also to see pics of King Khan’s butt. The comments are pretty rad.

@How do I say this ... THROWDINI!: "You gotta diversify your bonds, nigga." Or, at least, that's what my grandfater always told me. . .

...or:

Red Wine + Tussin, your child will quit fussin'.

Although...

Tussin + Red Wine, end up face down in pickle brine.

OK that's all for today, but look for the remainder on my forthcoming LP, "Narcotic Mixology."

I really really wish that someone had thought to bring up diversifying his funds to him last night.

He diversified the hell out of a pint glass, a table and some sunglasses, that's for sure.

Really? BV + FDIC liability limitation = BFF? Jesus.

...which is why I stick to:

Meth + Diet Sprite, makes you Jesus for a night.

But remember:

Diet Sprite + Meth, you'll be one slight breeze from death.

Acid + Coke, makes you stupid and broke.

Coke + Acid, you'll be permanantly flaccid.

or, at least that's what my Grandpa always told me...

@Maura Johnston: People have names at BV? I'd have to pay attention.

@RaptorAvatar: Absolutely. They need some help in the spelling/grammar/don't-sound-like-an-ass department, but frighteningly enough, these kids have sound advice. Coke and acid ARE a bad mix. Acid is really cheap these days. And if you're not worried about whether the FDIC covers your bank account these days, have a look at the poor IndyMac customers.

The only thing I'd disagree with them on are municipal bonds. Inflation's increasing too fast for that.

@Tauwan: Can someone throw a pool party or something in which your only way in is whether or not you are a registered commenter on Stereogum and/or Brooklyn Vegan?

The MGMT show already happened.

@TheRunningboard7: Hmm. Who would the Linda Cohn of BV be, then?

So is Brooklyn Vegan to Idolator as ESPN is to deadspin?

Can someone throw a pool party or something in which your only way in is whether or not you are a registered commenter on Stereogum and/or Brooklyn Vegan? Would love to see all these folks in one room. Can you imagine how often someone would fiddle with the music or walk up to the "DJ Booth"* to bitch or request a track?

*Call me crazy, but I think trying to agree on what live act should soundtrack the festivities would just take too much time/bring about one too many headaches. Or maybe I'm just ignorant.

As asinine as they can be, the BV kids are pretty much right about both things. (I can’t vouch for acid prices in Dallas or which securities are best in terms of tax diversification.) However, this is a grown-ass man who goes by the name Reatard, so maybe expecting sound financial planning and responsible drug use from him is a little bit of a stretch.

God. And I thought the comments left behind on Stereogum posts were out of control.

All of those commenters sound like Whit Stillman characters only with lazy sentence construction. Could it be he's updating The Last Days of Disco?? We can only hope!!

I still prefer to get my financial advice from the Wu-Tang Clan.

I am so fucked-up on cat nip right now. Have you ever really looked at your paws, man?
