We went straight for the AAA material and watched 'Outbreak' in biology. Damnable monkeys!

Yeah I believe that's who it was. However, as you can probably surmise, learning details and displaying cultural sensitivity were not this guy's strong suits.

Snakes on a Plane is far from perfect but I'm ultimately glad it exists if solely for the line "Fuckin snake, get off my dick!", which I believe is the most natural response to a large snake biting one's dong.

I was going to see the New York show next week but now they're sold out and I am highly irritated at myself for not buying tickets sooner. My only hope is that they decide to increase the audience size a bit but I doubt it.

Not really an analogous situation, but some years ago I was at a Mets game and some guy in the stands caught a ball in play, and within seconds of realizing what happened nearly the entire stadium spontaneously erupted into a singing chant of "Asshole! Asshole!".

I'm not sure what it says about AVC that the majority of the ads seem to be for dating Russian, Thai or Chinese girls.

Being that I'm football illiterate, every time someone mentions Bama' I initially assume they're talking about Barack, much momentary confusion always occurs.

Many West Virginians seem terribly depressed that they missed out on being part of ol' Dixie in the Civil War and thus make up for it by being even more Southern than their former confederate counterparts and trying to make the world forget about their true origins.

Quentin Tarantino may be a very talented director, but boy does he ever look like some sort of Gremlin.

I, Chief Sober Bear, now consecrate this Pow Wow, let us abstain from alcoholic beverages and trifling entertainments so that we may begin the building of glorious socialism.

Should you folks appreciate Drift, which I've yet to read but would like to at some stage, it'd be worth your time reading Blowback by Chalmers Johnson. It's not a perfect book, he can occasionally go overboard with the polemics, but Johnson was a pretty astute academic and he covers some of the same territory as…

The greatest crime of all; nothing.

I think the main problem with Bioshock 2 was simply that Ken Levine wasn't involved, and without him the series lost its primary ideas man.

FF XII was the last Final Fantasy game I really enjoyed a great deal. After ten, which I liked but didn't love, I sort of fell off the J-RPG train for a number of years, but received XII as a gift one year and ended up loving it.
