It's a very focused lifestyle misery porn, from what I gather.

"I am the Angel of Death. The Time of Purification is at hand."

@avclub-b3e157f795f95a0eeddae30fc92ebd3d:disqus That's because nobody wants to hang around obnoxious metal fans in the first place. It's mostly its own thing that's pretty well self-contained. "Hipster-y" interests occasionally bleed into the mainstream for whatever reason (probably because most of them are variations…

Indiegogo is a bit of a different situation from Kickstarter. If you reach your goal you get to keep all the money minus 4%. If you don't reach your goal you can either refund all the money or keep whatever you were pledged minus 9%. In this case, the amount I pledged would have gotten me a digital copy as well as a…

I am almost positive that Mel Brooks is the one on the right.

Bill: We've just been handed a bulletin from our Rock 'n' Rumor department.

This is the only GIF I have ever actually wanted while the event was happening.

Tap-dancing Cosgrove!

Three sisters, a brother, and a male cousin. I like to think the one non-breeder sat on the sidelines quietly and thought "God damn it."

It's a tad cliché, but most of the time it seems to be true:

I pitched in on a kind-of friend's Indiegogo to get her book published. Her goal did not get met, my money was still collected, the book was never physically published, and I still had to pay to get the Kindle version (one of the incentives was a copy of the eBook). Moral of the story: …damn it, now I'm mad, I had…

I have known several people who have launched crowdsourcing campaigns via the usual sites to get their projects off the ground/completed. Not one of them has been successful. Most seem to go the same: set a multi-thousand dollar goal, get a few hundred (if that) from close friends and family, do it again a few months…

Mine was a Homestead account. Remember Homestead? Exactly.

What I've gotten out of all of these "Hey, remember us from the more traditional media you paid attention to 6 years ago? Help fund our album/tour/movie" stories from the past couple of years is that:
-Everything costs way more than I would have figured on my own
-That all these costs used to be hidden at all costs from…

The Great Shorts Eating Pandemic of '91 was no laughing manner, young man.

Thank God for Johnny Quest.

As has been noted throughout these discussions, it's a pretty loose definition of "bait & switch". Most of the promotional material I had seen before the film seemed to bill it as a parody of action movies with some light political satire thrown in because it's the guys from South Park. At some point it sure seemed…

Team America: World Police

His IMDb page lists him as "Larry the Cable Guy" in everything except a stand-up video from 1993 and an episode of 60 Minutes from 2006, both where he uses his real name. Even the page itself says "Larry the Cable Guy" and not Dan Whitney.

I don't know if it's always dangerous, but it certainly involves far more talking and far fewer naps.
