A quick couple
"I was just admiring the shape of your skull," from Fear & Loathing in Las Vegas. Used to explain any kind of inappropriate staring.

*shrug* If I encountered more people on a day-to-day basis that didn't have to have things simplified, I probably wouldn't have such a dour view of humanity. Instead I work in the hotel industry, and I am frequently made to deal with people who (for example) do not quite grasp that the public computer needs to be…

Most people, provided the opportunity to think for themselves, will think about cheeseburgers and beer, not about politics. If they do think about politics, they'll think about it in very broad strokes, i.e. my guy tells the truth, the other guy lies. I think the point of getting people to think "they're all lying,…

He just wiped sweat away after realizing that no matter how shit a movie this turned out to be, he was going to make some epic cash off of it.

Napier was in Oregon Trail?
I guess he's the one motherfucker who didn't die of dysentery.

The upcoming Captain America movie. Blond haired, blue eyed guy, markedly superior to others, subjugating everybody he comes across? He's the Fourth Reich all by himself.

The Rescue Rangers video game for the NES was completely amazing. WHO'S WITH ME?!

Furry bait detected- begin evacuation procedures. This thread is no longer safe.

Left out of the instruction manual-

No mention of Evolver? Yeah, it was a Sci-Fi original robot and it was only a foot high, but that thing fired ball-bearings into people's faces. Show a little love.

Ah, I remember the grand and elaborate theories a friend of mine and I collaborated on after Reloaded came out. Then we saw Revolutions and learned that everything was exactly as it appeared to be, with no subtlety whatsoever. And we cried.

Saw it a second time in theaters for that reason and thought "yeah, this is definitely worth seeing, in a vague kind of way." Picked it…

The problem with the Wii, I believe, is that that is indeed a list of damn fine games, but if you go through it and remove all the games that would work just as well if not better without the exciting-and-filled-with-boundless-potential proprietary control system, you are left with nothing.

I will always envy the northern parts of the continent for one thing: snow. I live in East TN, and I haven't seen more than 2 inches of snow on the ground for 15 years. Don't get me wrong, I do love me some sun and mountains and greenery, but it's all too familiar.
