I have a mouth and I must scream
Apologies to Harlan Ellison for the paraphrase.

Apologies to humanity for Klan Beck splashing in the gene pool.

2. I wouldn't worry about apologizing to Harlan..
He's a world class asshole.. A talented one no doubt but an asshole nonetheless.

13. No kidding. I saw him speaking with Neil Gaiman and Peter David one time.
Talk about a jerk trying to make it "all about me." All the people in the audience wanted to ask Neil questions, and Harlan kept butting in and making rude comments.

Which is not to say that "Dangerous Visions" was not a wonderful thing(s).

6. At least you wouldn't have to turn him into an impotent, fleshy blob
You'd still need to take away his mouth, though.

7. I have visions of a luau, with an onion instead of an apple

When the Taino coined the term "Long Pig" I think they had Beck in mind.

10. Mitch McConnell has one of those, by the way
I used to think that it was a scolex, then (alas) I got a better look at it.

11. The Sandlot
Ham Porter: (to the batter) You know, if my dog was as ugly as you. I'd shave his butt and tell him to walk backwards.

9. ...You know, I read that story when I was about nine years old--
It f'd me up pretty badly, and became one of my favorites.

12. I can top that, though
First time I read it, I was on a fairly large dose of LSD.

Fortunately, I have a masochistic streak (which also explains my presence at DU).
