2) Justin Hawkins Rides His Oversized Stuffed Tiger Into The Sunset: “‘but does he really have to quit the band entirely?’ of course he does. did you see the episode of “lost” where charlie nearly quits driveshaft because of the women and drugs and stuff but then he doesn’t and then gets all heavy with the chiva and ultimately freaks out and crushes on the totally unbearable claire? that’s why hawkins needs to quit: his plane from australia will split mid-air one day and he’ll find himself becoming one of the most tedious characters in primetime drama.”–katie_a_princess
