Yes, ICP is terrible, stupid and irrelevant, but completely separated from their music, personalities, and fan-base the cover art for The Great Milenko is incredibly recognizable. It’s so recognizable, in fact, that I immediately remembered it in spite of the fact that I had no idea that it was a cover for any album,…

For my wife and I the meal service we use solves three basic food problems that have plagued us for a decade: lack of organization, ruts, and indecision. When we sit down to try and plan a menu it is incredibly hard to come up with things we want to eat, using ingredients we can get easily and won’t have to throw out…

I haven’t done a thorough exploration, but I would bet there are sports anime that cover pretty much every Olympic event. Off the top of my head: Slam Dunk*, Prince of Tennis**, Giant Killing***, Yowamushi Pedal****, Yawara!, Major*****, Super Yo-Yo, and Hajime no Ippo

If cottage cheese is cheese curds with some whey removed if you add whey to it isn’t that just clotted cream by other means?

It just makes me sad. My grandfather was a clown and, through him, I met a lot of other clowns. They were lovely people that just wanted to entertain. It feels to me like It sparked a whole generation of clown fear. Me, I’m afraid of hockey goalies.

Top notch article. It really gets at all of the emotional resonance in the show.

To make the mixing easier (and possibly help the texture)I suggest turning the garlic and salt into homemade garlic paste first:

You left out the update that has evolved Modern Pentathlon into Future Pentathlon: Laser Pistols. Of course, they’re essentially just carefully calibrated laser pointers mounted inside an air pistol, but still: LASER PISTOLS!

It’s nice to know I can pin something to all desktops, but can I attach a program to a specific desktop?

I was going to post that one, but having been beaten to the punch, here’s a good press shot:

I was with it right up until they had Fauxbama(TM) use the term “bloody-mindedness”. I guess he could have picked it up from Monty Python...

It’s not a replacement for a proper vacuum, but for hard surfaces I don’t think you can get better ROI than the DirtDevil Simpli-Stick. It’s lightweight, powerful, and often sells for less than $20. Yes, it’s a corded stick/hand-vac, so you still need a vacuum for carpets. No, it will never win a Red Dot award, but if…

Wait... King Louie was a racist caricature? I thought Louis Prima was essentially playing an animated version of himself? I remember that in the Prima biography I read he was dropped from his first big booking in New York because, after they had a phone conversation, the promoter thought he was black. I’ve always…

So, a friend of mine reminded me today of Yoda quote from Empire, “Decide you must, how to serve them best. If you leave now, help them you could; but you would destroy all for which they have fought, and suffered.” At the time it only served as a bit of tension building, the wise man suggesting prudence over rushing…

In the very first trailer when Luke says “My sister has it.” An alien hand passes his lightsaber to some human hands (presumably Leia’s). There’s a blink not be analyzing every frame and you’ll miss it glimpse of what seems to be Maz’s face as she hands it over.

I lean toward snipers. No increase in Strength, Endurance, or Charisma; Perception: 9, Agility: 7, and Luck: 6; and the last two into Intelligence so I can start crafting right off the bat. Err... rifle.

Nerdcore has it’s charm, but I’m an old man. So here’s a classic Filk gem for all you whippersnappers.

Clicked through to the UA HiRISE page and was greeted with one of the best headlines ever “Spectacular Gullies Near Gorgonum Chaos” which sounds more like a Destiny area than a lot of things actually in Destiny.

In addition to the usual compliment of super-strength, agility, durability, etc. 009 (aka Joe) is able to run so fast people appear to be statues. He usually tries not to touch anyone lest the air friction rip them apart. 001 has a supercomputer brain and telepathy/telekinesis, 002 can fly at mach 5+, 003 has x-ray…
