Half-Relevant
Anyone here going to All Points West?

Chubby, agreed - Especially AVQ&A, which used to be a fun article about pop culture mega-ephemera, but has turned into "Lurkers, come and post about 800 comments about the simpsons before 9 AM."

Too fluffy
I think these flavors would work better on a hard crunchy pretzel, no?

DCRJ - in total agreement. This should be a lunch break feature. And I hate when I get to work and log in and there are already 300 comments.

Smell aside, I quite like the taste of durian. It's like slightly stinky banana-strawberry custard.

How about popcorn with that bacon salt?

Juicy pear is the shit, as is blueberry, tangerine, and all sour ones.

Heh, the wiki page is actually pretty funny.

I'm still sticking with the echidna's four-headed penis as the rockingest.

Still Leery
This is virtually the same teaser that came out two summers ago, when the dvd was supposed to come out THEN.

Got to go with Spirited Away tied with Totoro.

Marwood, that's interesting about Yubaba…I always thought it was just a bastardization of Baba Yaga.

This is one of maybe 3 movies that bring tears to my eyes every single time I see it. Totoro is another one.

I used to have a little obsession with the Cat Bus, as it was up until that point, the wackiest thing I had ever seen in a cartoon. It might still be, for all intents and purposes.

I look at it from a scientific point of view - deviant means "more than 1 standard deviation above or below the mean." So, if less than 27% of the population engages in it, it's deviant from the average.
