Nice simple trick. Would work for me, but... I don’t care for blue cheeses. Besides, I live in Europe. Which means I have access to a great range of unpasteurized soft cheeses. Which in turn means that Brie and Camembert are actually delicious cheeses. So I often opt for either one of those instead of a blue cheese.…

As both a teetotaler (not out of conviction, but I just hate the taste of alcoholic beverages) and a Dutchman (who has never smoked weed either), I either couldn't have an opinion on this because of lack of experience, or a clear perspective on this as both an outsider and insider. The two beers mentioned in this post…

This is a very well written piece about a story that has gone past me for the past few months. Wasn't aware of Gamergate until very recently and since I'm not a gamer, I wasn't interested.

Cartoony over the top, but in a very post-modern media savy way, much in the way a cartoon like Dexter's Laboratory used to be. Dr. Doofenshmirtz is a straight up send up of the evil genius trope, agent Perry spoofs James Bond in every possible way, and Phineas and Ferb's surreal ventures often involve aliens, time…

How is Phineas and Ferb non-genre? It is one of the more Science Fiction savy children's cartoons out there.

Sorry, but I refuse to answer this questionaire if it doesn't include Lens Larque from The Face, the fourth novel from The Demon Princes by Jack Vance. He carves the moon into the shape of his own face, just to piss off his neighbour. You call yourselves a Science Fiction Blog and don't include this classic.
