Holy frack, dude. You’re way ahead of me in calls (by 40). You deserve ALL THE STARS. And an internets!

Your post is fantastic. I just tried to recommend it and it subtracted two stars. I do not know what is wrong.

Come to L.A.! We’ve got *massive* amounts of Ekans, Sandshrews, Geodudes and Cubones, chunks of Rhyhorns, and very doable numbers of Ponyta, Exeggcutes and Vulpixi. Seriously, 24 hours in L.A. will give you enough to evolve the first four.

I feel you on the Koffings and Grimers. Kansas City, MO was better for those.

That’s... weird. Wonder if that applies to TV too. Like, I was just binge-watching Scandal season 4 (created by a woman, lots of female writers, kicks the hell out of House of Cards). 30 Rock is pretty damn funny, seen 7 seasons of that. Selma was one of the best movies of the year. I could list all kinds of…

IF-Then-Else had a lot of support both on File770 and other places. My guess is the Rabids kept it off. After the Hugo Awards, we’ll get to find out the complete list of what was kept off the nomination list by Rabid Puppies (because Worldcon releases all the nomination data.)

Red State is weird, dark, and political—not at all like Kevin Smith’s earlier work—but he’s clearly taking a lot of risks and some of them pay off. He doesn’t stick the landing, but I forgive him that because that movie is so clearly him stretching himself.

Now somebody needs to print “Illuminati Kale” onto monogrammed thermoses. I sense a sales opportunity here.

I thought they were trying to say that hot dogs make you fart, so if C.J.eats things that make you fart, he shouldn’t criticize farting? I mean, that’s my best guess from the word salad.

Which is not currently making me fart.

Apparently you can watch the most-named missed show, 12 Oz. Mouse, if you get Adult Swim. Here: http://www.adultswim.com/videos/12-oz-m…

Frisky Dingo may well be the funniest show of all time. Although since the ranking is *weirdest,* I’m okay with its position, since it is basically Archer on crack.

What... what IS this show?? WHERE CAN I SEE IT??

“I am Gralnaak of the Vroon Empire, Destroyer of Galaxies, Supreme Overlord of the Planet Earth, Ask me anything.” 5/5. Wonderfully funny.

Q-Squared! So, so, so good. I’ve often thought it would’ve made a great movie—certainly better than ST:TNG: Nemesis. Ah well. Maybe some day someone will reboot the NexGen movies and can use it then.

This is a very well-written and thoughtful essay that I happen to completely disagree with. :-)

Snoopy is, for me, the heart and soul of the optimistic side of Peanuts, and a necessary counterbalance to the despair and self-pity of Charlie Brown, the rampant hostility of Lucy, and the useless philosophizing of Linus.…

Important note: I don’t think Torgersen hates Scalzi. Vox Day, however, has hated John Scalzi for the past ten years, and has basically stated as such (particularly in Vox’s June 16 blog entry ‘We Don’t Care.’) Vox Day has, in fact, basically gone on record as saying that his main motivation for gaming the Hugo…

Without excusing his behavior, at that age, it sounds like early-onset dementia.

EMILY Deschanel is awesome. I was an extra on “Bones” for one day, had a conversation with her and she treated me like an equal. She was nice to everyone.

False. As has been noted numerous times elsewhere, Scalzi hosted an *open thread* on his blog, where *any eligible person* could tout *their own work.* At no point did Scalzi or Stross ever put together a "full slate" of nominees, let alone recommend that others vote for it.

Not a related comment: Just wanted to say I love your screen name, because there are not enough fans of "Forbidden Broadway" in the world, particularly not "Forbidden Broadway Cleans Up Its Act," which might well be the best of any of 'em.
