What's a stupid-ass Death Cab for Cutie album title?

I think that the "How do you make God laugh?" thing is actually a joke that he lifted from "Kicking and Screaming" (The Baumbach one, not the Will Ferrel one.)

Actually, I think the title is taking the piss out of the Shins. I just can't figure out how.

I thought the last Death Cab LP was a joke, not the punchline to one...

bryan- Because by making plans you actively try to control your future, but really God controls it, so your plans are useless. Or something along those lines. GET IT? Hilarious.

I read this wrong at first and thought you meant Narrow Stairs as the punchline to the God joke. And that might actually work better, come to think of it.

Actually, come to think of it, Transatlanticism, We Have The Facts and We're Voting Yes, Something About Airplanes, Forbidden Love, Stability...

Is this ALL an elaborate joke?

DAMN IT!!! I was scrolling down furiously to make a similar joke after someone mentioned the Shins! Well played, sir.

does anyone remember jurassic park action figures?

speaking of memories, stability ep brings back good memories too... distant, distant memories.

Deathcab just doesn't have enough fake-Moog or raspy vocals to please you folks does it?

Let's destroy DCFC but shit ourselves over the White Stripes?

Wha'...?

Oh my God, SuperUnison, I'm not the only person in the universe who adores "Kicking and Screaming"? I feel vindicated.

I love Ben Gibbard. Death cab is great too, but I like it when Ben does solo project, such as working with Jimmy on such projects as Postal Service, James Figurine& DNTEL...
But DCFC is great too!

I found that DCFC may be playing at Sasquatch as well as Coachella!

What makes rolling newborns down several flights of stairs even more fun?

Why do emo kid Death Cab fans stay so skinny? (note: I am a Death Cab fan.)

How would you build conservative mentality into stairs?
