For me the twinkie is nostolgia at it's greatest. I grew up going to sunday school each week and at least once a month on the way home my mom (who was a sunday school teacher) would take me to the store where we'd pick up a package of twinkies and two 1 serving Orange juices. We'd then drive home (we lived about 30…

isn't that franklin? Or did i just read this comment wrong. lol.

because he was in national lampoon's class trip?? Perhaps that's why? lol

it's interesting because this makes me think of the recent push to secede (which apparently happens every election, but this year it's making the news). My boyfriend and i were discussing this and other than having the willie wonka, "no, wait, stop" attitude towards these people leaving, I wonder if THEY realize what…

THEY want to live in a civilized society. They'd just like to live there on the cheap and by themselves. No riff-raff need apply. It's a very Stay out of my healthcare pool, you'll make it dirty, pov.

Holy crap! That's like...reasonable and stuff. (and yes i said that like a valley girl on purpose).

omg yes. It doesn't set well with those of us who suffer from panic attacks. Even if you do have the attacks well managed. There's nothing like waiting around to for someone to poke you in the eye. lol.

how about the idea that you can jump a 69 charger over a cop car and land safely on the other side, all while playing dixie. Must be that song allows your car to break the laws of physics because the Dukes of Hazzard very nearly destroyed the 69 charger as a "species". They went through a LOT of cars for that show. …

i learned that from some tv show about camp counselors that ran on pbs back in the 80s. No idea what it was called. I just remember some skinny white guy who wore a red jersey with blue numbers and had that curly 80s sandy blond hair (like the guy from carrie) was the counselor who couldn't have candy. I've always…

#12 looks like a torture device from the eye doctor's office. Forget that. I have enough issues with the damn eye puff test. Stupid anxiety lol.

i'm actually sitting on one right now. I like it but you're right it's a miracle if you sit in it the way you're suppose to after an hour. Still, it's good for writing because it forces you to take a break lol! Each morning though, i cheat and put my feet on the bottom rail and sit on it like a bench as i check io9…

oh god, that's even worse (the topping out at 18). I was so awkward still at 18. lol. Hey kid, welcome to acne, it's never leaving. But at least your braces are gone, huzzah!

absolutely. Look at the x-men. It often reflects the pains of growing up and feeling awkward and out of place. Everyone wants to be special and so that's the idea that these books play with. It's makes a lot of sense. It also kind of reminds me of something i heard at a comic panel on zombies one time. The guy…

lol, darn you beat me to it lol.

Dear real wild child...Neil Gaiman is not your bitch. http://journal.neilgaiman.com/2009/05/entitlement-issues.html he's talking about George RR Martin, but it applies to all writers. If you're so upset, go write your own story.

who cares if she is there. Is she hurting your enjoyment of your con? Honestly if you can't get over some hot chick passing you in the crowd as you're on your way to a panel, or another booth with various merchandise, then why are YOU there? Clearly it's not to see the stuff you're so interested in seeing.

YES! This. It's the booth babes who tend to not care and aren't happy to be there and don't know a thing about what they're wearing. This btw doesn't mean we should judge them too harshly because they have this same attitude at the car show they're scheduled to model at and the other conventions where they're…

Yeah i won't be going. I can't stand previews. Why do i want to lose 9 minutes of the movie that i know i'm going to when it actually comes out? So basically i've paid for the film twice and the 1st time i was just getting into it and it ends. Pfft, next gimmick.

i think one of the most unrealistic things in this film is Q's hair. What is going on there? Is this a Patterson thing?? Between him, the new spiderman and this guy i'm thinking there's a new hole in the ozone.

an old Night Gallery Episode was loosely based on the idea of the Sin-Eater. It starred "John Boy" from the Waltons. http://www.hulu.com/watch/58780 I believe that it's the first part of this 2 story episode.
