Whenever I used to play those old Kirby games on the Nintendo, I always wondered how that little pink blob ate everything in his way and never barfed. I feel this taste test may have shed some light on that.

You can get intoxicated on water!? Crikey. That sounds like the most fun since we gave up asphyxiation at school. I think you may have just found the cure to (and inevitably, no doubt, the cause of) all of life's problems. Tell me more!

Didn't know there was a Maniac Mansion TV series. Just checked YouTube and all they have is the title sequence… pretty creepy, sis.

Chris O'D was also in a silly and short-lived techno-spy drama on the BBC. I think it was called Bugs? It was watchable, but lame as hell.

I'd be surprised if Necro hadn't already covered that squalid base.

The function of our lives is just to serve the economy
They misinform our minds to paint a picture of harmony
But if you pay attention you know that shit's out of tune
Because the purpose of our lives is just to work and consume
Fuck reaching out to people cause there ain't any room,

Yummsh and Chubby: you just gave me my new favourite sayings. Cheers!

Not "shotgun rape sofa"?

I thought Lester Bangs was more of a NyQuil man?

What I always wanted to know was how they'd managed to stay together for so long without discovering any mutual interests. I mean, we've all met some right couples in our time (and I suspect many of us are their offspring), but for real, how long can you maintain full marital radio silence? Did they just never go to a…

Sorry Josh, but "Taste Test Hot Shot Josh Modell" just ain't gonna catch on like IES Chang.

I always thought it was called Jilling off.

But mbs, what about Spy vs Spy?

@Werdsmiff: I keep hearing all your posts in Matt Berry's voice. Which made that one sound particularly awesome. Whiskyyyy!

Hm. I thought it was one of the moral rights under the Copyrights Designs and Patents Act, but on checking, I may have been thinking of something else (the right to privacy of certain images doesn't apply here).

I'm interested to know more about this case too. I note that the USA Today story seems to think this case is about defamation, which I very much doubt it could be. I only know anything for sure about UK intellectual property, and things may be different where you are but here's my partially qualified opinion anyway.

No, Phel was supposed to say that the fact he's calling it snu snu means he's not ready for it. That joke needs more rotation. I'm not even being sarcastic - I still laugh at that every time.

Always a classic. I'd like to re-posit the idea I posted last week: a reality show where the idea IS to make friends. The layers of duplicity involved could actually make that interesting. Discuss?
