The Onion A.V. Club

Sure, sure, we all read The Onion. It's the at-work equivalent of Jon Stewart, which is awesome. Submit.

That said, do we all read A.V. Club on The Onion's website. Sadly, the answer is a resounding: nope.

I just found a little book at a local used bookstore, say two weeks ago, entitled The Tenacity of the Cockroach. Sure, you're saying, it sounds gross, but is it really awesome? The answer is, yes. It is. Tenacity is the kind of book that is perfect for either a living room coffee table or a bathroom magazine rack - intelligent, full of brief, approachable interviews, and generally good for a chuckle or two. Don't miss the Henry Rollins, Ralph Bakshi, Berkeley Breathed, George Romero, Gene Simmons, Merle Haggard, Chuck Jones, Douglas Adams, Conan O'Brian, John Kricfalusi, Ray Bradbury, Elvira, Mr. T, Andrew W.K., Rick James, David Lee Roth, or Weird Al interviews (its like a who's who of people under the crux of "HAWG WYLD JONXISTAS").

And, if you're cheap, yeah, you can find all these interviews at the A.V. website. But then you'll have to deal with building your computer into the toilet. Sigh.
