Were you just guessing? Because, if you were, it was a really good guess. Belgium=11,787 sq miles, Maryland= 12,407 sq miles.

Google Maps says its 42 minutes by car. Want to take a bus, though? Get this: you're looking at a five & a half hour ride. Now, you better sit down and take a sip of water, because here's the real kicker. According to our buddies over at Google maps, you can get from Antwerp to Brussels by bike in a mere two hours and…

Of course it doesn't hold a candle to the first two, but, by itself, I always kinda liked it.

Remember that movie Sugar Hill?

Yup! It's definitely not "walk on, homeboy!," like, the listener is the "homeboy" and Phil is encouraging them to just "keep on walkin', kid, and someday you'll reach your dreams."

I always thought Major Tom was about a dude who chose drugs (or some kind of exceedingly successful career, or psychosis, but probably drugs) over his family.

Your dad will be disgusted when he sees your buster busted.

Yup! The first one had very little to hold on to—- I thought the trailer (with lil' Kirk driving a car off the cliff) was WAY better than the film itself, with it's lifeless characters and brain dead plot. The trailers for this one are pretty dull and pointless, which is different, but I'm not sure of that's a good…

Or maybe some really kinky stuff like two dogs making love with a cat or, you know, a bat and a pig.

Despite the obvious context, I read this first and thought you meant your 20th birthday. It REALLY changed the meaning of your first sentence.

I admire the fact that you kept pushing the envelope on this one. That being said, I still like Guy Incognito's simple, sleeker, jauntier version a LITTLE bit better.

The boys over at the Robocop remake can't be too happy about this. It pretty much proves once and for all that everyone likes the old Robocop costume more than the new one (which looks like something someone found behind an out-of-business Laser Tag arena).

PG-13 Toxic Avenger = Captain Planet

I think Nonpoint is cool. They're out of style though. That's for damn sure. But I still think they're  cool. (Minus that "bullet-with-your-name" song, because it's crappy tune and also because, in this day in age? Come on, guys. You put out a song like that and then market it to junior high and high school boys? And…

NOW I'm listening: give some examples, please. What kind of characteristics?

This story crawled directly out of David Foster Wallace's story "Mr. Squishy" (the one in Oblivion about the focus group dude).

Do the kids in the first movie have parents? Are they orphans? Even the Wikipedia page won't tell me. Either way, I'd vote that part four has a husband and a kid with a dead wife/mom looming in the margins, sorta ET style, with a scene where they're doing something like sniffing rags soaked in old Sea Breeze (ala ET),…

The connection between "Atlas Shrugged" and "Ender's Game" has less to do with a clearly articulated philosophy and more to do with the fact that both novels can be read and enjoyed as adolescent power fantasies. "Ender's Game" is a pretty regressive piece of science fiction— it has more in common with the stuff from…

I don't know if this is something I really thought of on my own, of if it's something I overheard, but I've found it to be abundantly reliable advice (that I either gave myself, or that someone gave me): "If someone's favorite book is Ender's Game, they're probably an asshole."

And party everree day.
