Challenger Society, eh? Named after Professor Challenger from The Lost World by any chance?

This Week in…The Mansion! I've been playing Day of the Tentacle Remastered, and it is a hoot and a half. Great premise, hilarious comedy, intuitive puzzles. I've only had to look up one answer online, because I missed a dialogue clue that didn't repeat. For the most part, it's wacky but understandable cartoon logic at

Yes, yes I would. And you bow in whatever direction you please.

Look up the episode titles and act them out in your imagination! Who knows what wacky adventures those Persons of Interest will get up to next? You do!

Lots of good stuff today! Big Patty gets some welcome time in the spotlight, and I particularly like the contrast between her scary appearance and her low-key personality and soft-spoken, matter-of-fact attitude. She's not a bully, but she has a hell of a temper that she can't easily control. She makes a great foil

Space blessings upon the anniversary of your expulsion from the womb!

I assume he had a falling-out with the Stonecutters.

Ha ha! Dangling modifier!

I would accept switching to Jasper's perspective if and only if she sang the shark theme song from Jaws to herself while following the boat.

At least Steven and Connie brought back his car in good shape.

Greg really should have learned by now that Gems and vehicles don't mix.

The only rival I can think of is the New Batman Adventures adaptation of "Mad Love." Gee, I can't imagine why more children's shows don't want to address this topic.

Simple. Whereas Peridot is the Daffy Duck of the Gems, Jasper is the Wile E. Coyote. She'll obsessively pursue a target beyond all reason, has a greatly inflated sense of her own abilities, and can (and will) take a horrific amount of punishment and come back to try again. The good news of being Coyote is that you're

Not much to say on this one other than the tonsils plot being an ingenious way to write a voice actor's aging into the show. The various Arnolds grow up, their voices change, and they come back to play bullies, but Gerald gets a whole segment justifying his actor sticking around. Jamil Smith must have appreciated the

I could have sworn you meant Big McLargeHuge.

Thankee, stranger.

Oh good, I've been shopping around for my next supervillain lair and this sounds like a big time-saver.

Gather 'round children, and I'll spin ye the tale of Biastioc! An unregistered commenter was he, taking his name from the very Captcha test all must pass to prove himself no automaton, but mortal man. And lo he did make himself known on a Newswire announcing that Marge Simpson would appear in Playboy, regaling all who

I have to disagree with Mickey's advice. If you're good at something but it causes the people around you to be hurt on a regular basis, you should probably stop doing it. It's not like Arnold's going to be a pro baseball player when he grows up.

I started reading The City of Mirrors and only made it through the first part. I really enjoyed the first two books in the series and the author's writing in general, but I was just bored out of my skull by this one. When the main villain starts going on and on about his days at Harvard and how he was in love with his
