Nah, they just always call him by his first name—Hercule. It's still Hercule Satan, but no one talks about that.

So they don't have that barely concealed loathing for each other you see on most anchors?

This makes me bizarrely sad, because, were we theoretically in his restaurant for some reason, I can perfectly picture my conversation with my late girlfriend over this:

What you are looking for is the "Mid-Atlantic" accent. A prominent example of that sort of accent is Frasier Crane, or Rarity from My Little Pony. It's called "Mid-Atlantic" because it's an entirely affected accent (no one grows up speaking it, really) and, due to the way it combines British and American accents, the…

Let me ask you a question, guys, particularly those who feel a lot of "competition": If your girlfriend said she wanted to join a burlesque troupe, had an idea for an angle, and a sketch with artistically tasteless nudity, what would you do? What if part of the sketch (bear in mind, this is her idea) would involve…

How about the Smurfs ?

The one you asked to identify was Sanji from One Piece.

"Boulder"

Poorly worded. There's a huge, huge, HUGE difference, but I think it's a matter of degrees. Both are missing the target, it's just one of them shot the white space just outside the target, while the other's arrow somehow flew backwards, went through a judge's chest, and pinned him to a horse's behind, which then went…

I appreciate both science and mysticism and keep them relatively separate in my mind. I also think astrology is (mostly) bunk. There may have once been some truth to it, but it's practice has been way too diluted by newspaper hokum. Also, the addition of new planets was actually bad for astrology, because they tried…

Given how many white guys I see on Youtube doing (admittedly, technically proficient) renditions of Buffalo Soldier, I think the number of people missing the point is not relegated to just nazis.

I know it won't happen, but my biggest hope for Constantine is that at some point, they bring in Nick Necro...played by Keanu Reeves. Wait, hear me out!

Okay. These are pretty awful, but the first guy? Could have been trying to be funny or charming and rolled a 1. Here's just one of many ways he could have salvaged that:

Tush? How old is this guy? Does he call women broads? Does he talk about their gams? I can't see him as anything but a comedy version of a 1930s mobster.

Yes! That could be it. Instead of one king, a council of kings from the major cultures represented in the city. Let's say four of them.

I was in AIT with two guys: one who had a Chinese character tattoo, and the other a guy from China. The inevitable conversation occurred, and the guy with the tattoo said it meant "Freedom." The actual native Chinese speaker informed him it really meant "Irresponsible." He laughed and said "Close enough!" Did I…

Is it weird that in a story like this, I'm of course sad for the family and upset that people would do this to a fellow human being, but I'm also annoyed that no one can seem to get murder right? Like you said, everyone underestimates how hot a fire has to get to dispose of a body, but 5 minutes of googling will tell…

Better than the "blood transfusion" in some anime I saw...they didn't even get it in her veins! A bunch of guys just bled in her general direction!

There's non-sexual attractiveness. You can find a dog, or a statue, or someone of a non-preferred gender aesthetically pleasing, and have no desire to sleep with them. You can be attracted to someone's voice or personality. Yes, even men can. I've seen people who project their personality very strongly in message…

I stopped watching Heroes before the end of the first season. I came back for the final season. I actually legitimately enjoyed the final season, and thought it was good. It finally got the comic-book camp and seriousness in the right mixture. I mean, the big bad was the ringmaster of an evil circus. As soon as the…
