Is this where we share Comic-Con stories? Because I read an article about some women at Comic-Con who were circulating a petition to get people there to pledge not to grope, follow, or otherwise make other people in costume feel uncomfortable. Sounds laudable, right? No one wants a fun event tainted or ruined…

Only fer you fancy-pants literate types.

Perfect.

I bet there are now at least two, maybe three, generations of people in Afghanistan who have never been scared of a ghost story or anything like that, because they've seen actual, real-life helicopter fucking gunships level entire villages many dozens of times in their lives.

The Isotopes are moving to Albuqwerty?

America Online. Remember them?

I worked as a copywriter once, and one of the guys in charge of the products asked us in publishing to alter a picture he had of the product. He sent us the TIFF file, and then asked us to rotate it 90º. We asked him why he wanted to turn the picture so that the object would appear to be resting, unnaturally and…

There used to be a live-sex theater in Amsterdam called the Organ Grinder…

When the Soviets collectively (!) lost their shit about the Strategic Defense Initiative (SDI), I was just young enough to think it was because they shared my outrage that a bunch of out-of-it oldsters were calling it "Star Wars," when the Star Wars movies involved hyper-space travel, cool aliens, space stations that…

Yes. This is spot-on. I'd say the same thing goes for ZZ Top.

I agree. The song is definitely meant to be fun, first and foremost. And if you listen to the lyrics, it's not meant to be sexy, but funny. The song is supposed to make you laugh, not get anyone's panties wet.

JAAAAAAIIIIIIIIILBREAK!

I thought you were talking about the band, the Eagles, and laughed at the phrase "the Eagles went to the Superbowl" — as if the halftime performer is determined by a grueling tournament of bands.

Of course there are targets other than American ones, and those are going to be hit more frequently because they're closer, geographically, to the terrorists' favorite hideouts in south Asia and east Africa, and especially in the Middle East, a bunch of Middle-Eastern guys aren't going to attract as much suspicion as…

He's got enough troubles along those lines right now….
