@avclub-aa854f5836947cdf62324ba7d74e1c43:disqus  The villain of the Neal Stephenson novel "Snow Crash" memorably wielded an obsidian knife that was able to cut highly impervious, futuristic armor due to its extreme keenness.

The last time I went to a live Rocky Horror show, I was in my early 30's and I think I was the oldest person in attendance.  It kind of freaked me out.

Shades of Marvel Two-In-One Annual #7, one of the first comic books I ever owned.  In it, the Champion (one of the Elders of the Universe) comes to Earth to challenge Earth's strongest heroes to fisticuffs.  If no one can defeat him, he'll destroy the planet.  After every other hero is beaten or disqualified, the…

All this time and I never knew Leia was impersonating a specific, real person.

A couple of months ago I finally got around to watching "Escape From L.A.," which is set in 2013.  An amusing coincidence.

HE REMEMBERS ME!

Ever since I found out long ago that Picardo played Meg Mucklebones, a swamp monster who gets decapitated by Tom Cruise in "Legend," that's the first role of his I always think of when I see his name.

I never rolled a d10, but one night I rolled five d2's!

Reminds me of a moment in TNG that always bugged me a little, when a Klingon ship is on its way towards the Enterprise.  How do they know it's a Klingon ship?  Because it looks like one when they visually magnify it.  And yet it will take several hours (days, maybe?) to arrive.

@avclub-469855b15af87afcbf7d29ea09e321ed:disqus , I envy you, sir.

Any time Andy and Ollie show up, I try to figure out which one has Sarah Silverman's voice and which one has Laura's.  I can never do it.  They're too similar, and they rarely say much.

Linda's bewildered "Why?" after that killed me.

I immediately thought that if I were in Jeff's place, I'd try to narrow down the list by choosing only planets orbiting a yellow sun, with seven other planets and an asteroid belt, and whatever other astrophysical data I could dredge up.  So I got an extra little chuckle that Jeff was too dim to do other than visit…

And how did the emperor forget that he brought his ship to earth specifically to pick up Roger?  Ah well, minor point.

My father got "The World According to Garp" via a book club when I was a wee lad, and I started reading it since the word "Garp" amused me.  A couple of hundred pages in, I came across the word "gonorrhea," with which I was unfamiliar.  Unfortunately, at that time I preferred to ask my parents for word definitions…

My mother once forbade me to watch Speed Racer because of the violence.  In doing so she helped nurture seeds of rebellion in me, because that show was the shit and I was going to watch it however I could.

Really?  Have you seen a man eat his own head?

"Hey, is that Snooki?"
"Ehhh, it's Deena.  Oh, God…"
"I don't care for Deena."

I let my goddaughter and her brother use my Netflix account recently.  I almost did a spit-take the next time I went to their web site and was asked "So how did you like Geek Charming?"
