Once a year. Maybe twice if I feel like staying up all night watching.

This is a good step in the right direction. Now if they can maintain course for a few years, I might give them another shot. If I ever get cable.

I was so sad for humanity when I heard that. The psychology behind it makes a perverted sense to me, but the fact that as a species we prefer to be lied to so that we can feel special is pretty messed up.

"I'm sorry that you cannot see the difference between the two."

There was a logical reason to have ESL Asians in Christmas Story. In Lemon Drop Kid they just have Asian kids walk in from off stage, not be able to say l's properly, and have Bob Hope make fun of them for it.

I have to love the origins of "Silver Bells." It was first performed by Bob Hope (natch) and Marilyn Maxwell for The Lemon Drop Kid, the heartwarming tale of a con man who sets up a fake charity involving street corner Santas collecting money to pay off his gambling debts by the due date of Christmas. But wait, it…

My girlfriend was putting on a blanket when I yelled "I hope he didn't have any body armor!" and she couldn't understand how anything too important could have happened in the 3 seconds it took to put the blanket on.

irony - def 2 from google "a state of affairs or an event that seems deliberately contrary to what one expects and is often amusing as a result."

Damn it, I just caught that. I'll gladly silently change my typos as long as I can get to them before someone else notices. After that, it belongs to posterity.

-logy as a suffix implies the study/science of something, though.
-nym is "name" which kind of implies that the words are not actually the same thing but are merely named the same, which is not necessarily the case, as seen here.

The entire site is mostly just a well known Turning Test proving grounds where computer scientists attempt to create believable AI. You'll notice that some of them are lazy and just repost material found on other web sites (Amazon, Avenged Sevenfold fan pages) with at best tangential reference to the topic at hand. …

Wow, I am apparently massively out of touch. I have never seen/heard anybody refer to Jingle All the Way in anything even resembling good will or nostalgia. For everyone I've ever talked to, it's shorthand for "extremely ill conceived attempt to cash in on the holiday season and the lasting power of creating a…

The problem is that they're not properly advertising that Portman will play the mold breaking role of a mustache twirling villain.

Right-On loves this post because: it's anti-establishment and picks apart something that the commentariate hated.

Gaiman being involved gives me a great amount of hope. I can only hope that he's deeply involved and stays as such through the whole of production, otherwise I have no hope at all for the movie.

What's going on? The "Great Job, Internet!" articles today are… not terrible. Some are even good. I'm confused and a little uncomfortable.
