I disagree- Derry's backstory is the whole point. Without that rich history of fucked-up shit, IT becomes much less unique. The whole point is how this town has been warped by the presence of evil for its entire existence and how it touches everyone who lives there, even after they leave. If you lose that, it turns…

Yeah, I think cultural osmosis of the idea that Wings couldn't possibly compete with the Beatles was probably the biggest culprit. Still, I'm glad I got over it, even if it took til now.

I used to work with a guy who'd drink 12 Dr. Peppers a day. He'd make a little pyramid of the empties in the window by his desk. I watched him do this every day for a year and a half. That was like 10 years ago, so he's probably dead now.

I mean, everything is bad for you. Too much sunshine is bad for you. Too much water is bad for you. We're all gonna die, why worry about it so much?

The Computer Wore Coke Zero

Well, yeah- people say "New Coke" was a debacle, but when they reintroduced regular Old Coke again, it sold way better than it had before. The company knows exactly what they're doing this time.

Diet Coke's curiously metallic taste has convinced me that it was originally designed as some kind of fuel source for an undocumented robot workforce.

Counterpoint: the raspberry Coke you can get out of those "Freestyle" machines is fucking delicious and I'll kill you just to get a single taste of that SWEET SWEET CAN-

This is timely- I'd never really bothered to try listening to post-Beatles-era McCartney, but then I happened to hear the live version of "I've Just Seen a Face", from Wings Across America and it really blew me away, so I bought the whole album and have been listening to it pretty much nonstop for a week. It's great…

Well, in the books at least, he was explicitly condemned to death. He probably could have fled to the Wall and taken the black and Ned likely would have let him, but Jorah chose to not even do that.

Forget it, dad! I'm NEVER gonna get old! I'm gonna be young and cool FOREVER!

"My dearest Daenerys,

It's like the Civil War- everyone sounded like a poet because long flowery letters were the only way for people to communicate over distance.

To be fair, his self-pitying "I've lived longer than I deserved" line is also literally true- he's under a death sentence in Westeros and ran away to avoid it. He's a slaver and a fool and definitely should have died a long time ago.

Clifton Collins Jr. and Tom Jane showed up moments later, I assume.

Once in college a bunch of folks were going to crash at a friend's place after a party and when we got there it turned out she had pet birds that she just let fly all over the fucking place. I left early.

But he wears glasses, CNH. Glasses, for god's sake! If that's not the mark of a nerd, then I just don't know what.

I know that first responders usually spend five minutes or so punching car accident victims in the throat just to make sure they're ok, so this checks out!

My favorite part was when his broken spine was cured by getting punched in the spine!

I'm not kidding at all! I really like Damian and I completely agree that his time as Robin while Dick was Batman was really fun!
