Steven and I were talking about this last night! I think the only time I've used "gritty" unironically and in a comics review was to describe the art in 300, because I couldn't think of a better way of saying there are little flecks of black ink all over the place.

I hereby call for for the replacement of the word "gritty" with the word "chunky."

For example: "Post-Dark Knight superhero comics adopted Frank Miller's grim-and-chunky world view."

Oh, man. If I ever open a Mexican restaurant, there's gonna be grim-and-chunky salsa on the tables.

I like chunky a lot better.

Can we use the word in ref to the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band?

Off the subject but....
No hockey update?

Nitty Gritty Dirt Band is OK.

Grim 'n Grimy...eh.

Sorry about the lack of a hockey update! I've been meaning to do the weekly sports post, but just haven't gotten around to it yet. Say...you're not a Lightning fan rubbing it in, are you?

Nope, I was for the Flames(gotta agree with you on the uniforms being cooler). They were my favorite team before the Predators came along.
