When was the last time anyone built a new battleship in real life? 60 years ago? I know the ole battlewagon is a romantic concept, but… I remember being in school in the 80s and working in a library, and when I didn't feel like working, would read military trade magazines. I remember reading an article about…

So it's sort of a remake of that scene from Meaning of Life?

Leaning they all die for what appear to be stupid, self-absorbed reasons makes me like the idea of this a whole lot more. Why can't Adam Sandler's movies do that?

Yeah, though my assumption that being part of a couple is essentially low-key combat and constant oneupsmanship may be a clue why I'm only infrequently part of a couple.

It's a pretty common term and has been around a long time. That doesn't mean they didn't get it from this or that, but without more data it's silly to assume it's any particular reference.

I always felt bad about this one. This was still when I was into South Park (so I was cool with the "everyone is wrong" politics), thought the songs and jokes were funny, and liked the idea of going way out there - but the basic concept of Mr Hanky just was too much. I don't think of myself of a fecalphobe, but on a…

Well,  got news for you - this ain't make-up!

Yeah, while Netflix still has too many holes in the streaming service, I just don't ever get around to watching physical DVDs any more. Hell, if it's on streaming, I'll watch that even for discs I own (unless I want extras or different languages, which happens like once every six months). I should cancel the mail…

How did Univision do?

NCAA soccer exists? I went to a large state school (so we followed unpaid-player semi-pro ootball and basketball like any other patriotic Americans), and the fact we even had a baseball team was considered a running joke, but soccer? Huh. What a world.

It's a shame. People like that should stay in middle-management, where they can keep their peons docile in a state of dull, suppressed rage by their passive-aggressive ability to never make a stand on anything, but still get credit for the successful decisions other people make.

He'll feel a lot better about his place in the world when 'Work it!" is on the air. We all will. Everyone.

Whenever I think of this feature, or just bad band names in general, "Those Fucking Unicorns" is the first thing I think of.

Band names and fantasy team names do seem to come from the same part of the brain.

I thought it was "Work It!" and that they had killed it in the womb, which seemed pretty funny. The actual news is just kinda "eh", like day-old Mountain Dew.

I admit I'm disappointed to learn someone named "Noble" is a dude.

I dunno; she's like the fourth-billed in Kalifornia.

But that's the whole draw of wealth beyond your condition. The delusion that you don't change; your surroundings do, so you'd be the precious snowflake you already are, only with gold-plated Xbox controllers, a trophy wife you don't actually have to interact with any more than the imaginary ones you have now, and in…

Nah, as a die-hard liberal I base it on PK Dick. Basically, I'm sort of stable, often, and the few of the rest of you that really exist out there are just as fucked up as I am. So the answer is to chill out, try not to make things worse for everyone and stop looking for some imaginary salvation to fail to fix things…

The other two are Whitney and Glee, right?
