The last two clips are pretty much identical. Just so you know

That’s Leiber not Vance. Though both have influenced D&D.

Yes it's true. I am one of two white guys in a large NYC department store with mostly black/latino staff. Our enlightened European customers make a bee line for me, passing a dozen other salespeople, and claim that 'no one is on the sales floor.' The good thing is, I guess, is that I get lots of practice....? …

Not gross but disrespectful. Bodily fluids, genitals, et cetera don't bother me. I work at a major retail store and deal with fuckwits of all persuasions. It is respect. I won't come to your workplace and slap the boredom out of your pathetic life, why do you have to inject your bodily fluids into the mix. …

No worries, I'm an asshole.

I got a problem with the squishy gay "I love black people" thing. It's okay. Just don't pretend gay and black are equivalent. I know saying this as a straight white asshole, I can come under all sorts of fire, and deservedly so. I got into a fight with my buddy Dustin Chafin because I was all 'Fuck Lou Reed"…

"Hogg" by Samuel R. Delany. I know it isn't a movie, but it is the most disturbing/well written thing I have ever encountered.

Actually, "Who Goes There?" by John W. Campbell ... Lovecraft's influence is there too perhaps (what hasn't he influenced in the genre), but the concept is Campbell's.

Fucking dog people. I've seen dogs chained up in back yards in all sorts of weather and temperatures. I've been confronted by pit bulls who are obviously fighting dogs while walking home from work in Chicago. If you think a tiny cat is capable of abusing a dog you're delusional and should seek professional…

Ooh, burn. Why be such a sad little man?

I try to stay positive. But what I've learned in a long life of being a so-called 'feminist' is that you get nothing from it. When 'feminism' earns one points it is considered good, but from an ideological standpoint, it is just a waste of breath. I can't be good for society when I'm shoved into the trash can for…

I had that same dream as a child. All the planets of the solar system are in the night sky and I'm reeling with dizziness looking at them, dying to run back inside and away from the terrible vision. I wonder if it's a 'thing.'

One of the few books I've only read once, and yet can't get rid of.

Actually, what I should say, is go to fucking Nebraska with your 'world news' and shut the fuck up. You live in an aquarium.

Lol Nigerians can do no wrong, it's like the Lion King but People. Better?

Ah Africans. I know it's an entire continent and one can't judge based on individual encounters, but of all the people in New York, when I was walking with my African American girlfriend they were the only ones who would openly harass me. "No mixing, kkeep it Sep-a-rate," "Oh you got youself a black woman." No…

So my awesomely weird mom posts of FB: "I've read all the books on physics in the local library and I don't quite understand it. Can anyone recommend a book, or help explain it to me?"

Oh nerds. I love nerds, was never smart enough to be one. This guy seems ok, hope he fixes some shit on his way to upper middle class comfort.

I 'll wager that it will get weirder and weirder as our instruments become more precise. There are all sorts of possibilities, such as planets that orbit at a 90 degree angle to the ecliptic, reverse orbits, planetary 'pearl necklaces,' perhaps short lived strings of planets all on the same orbit, non-planetary…
