Back in the distant past, when a force called AOL spread its message of hope through shiny silvery disks, I joined the party and gained access to the Internets. A short time later, I received my first pornographic marketing email.

I love listening to Beth, although I prefer Detroit Rock City.

I saw KISS in 1980 in Chicago and they were so loud and harsh that I broke the filters off two cigarettes (unsmoked) to block my ears. Been to a lot of shows over the years and had a couple of times where all I could hear was crickets for two or three days afterwards (thank you Mountain, Grand Funk Railroad, Who, Todd…

Wait, you mean I can date human women?

How is this Davros conference even allowed? He has been singlemindedly dedicated to the extermination of all life throughout the universe for centuries. With the possible exception of Alex Jones, I can’t think of anyone less deserving of a public forum. WTF Earth?

Say, do you know what the internal temperature of a Tauntaun is?

Excuse me, while I kiss this guy.

I would think the first thing you want to do is stop thinking of it as hitting on women. That phrase gives me a mental picture of a kid walking down a row of vending machines, pressing buttons and checking coin returns on each one, not really concerned with the machine or its contents. Every so often they get lucky.

Thanks for the excellent article. Can I add this one?

When I first read the headline I wondered “What is nose whiskey?” Sounds like something you’d find on a drunk skier’s moustache.

I like the old school voltage tester, where I give my little brother a paperclip and say “Whatever you do, don’t put that paperclip in the outlet.”

Sorry, this show didn’t do anything for when it was here the first time, except of course the episodes with Cher and Kevin Bacon. My personal complaint is that this paycheck-generator will keep Eric McCormack from any further work on Travellers, a pretty good series with some interesting ideas. Instead, he’s a gay…

Thanks for this article. I have just started reading Lovecraft Country: A Novel, by Matt Ruff. In the opening chapters, the main character, Atticus Turner relies on The Safe Negro Travel Guide, a fictional version of the Green Book, as he drives from Florida to Chicago in 1954. It’s a buck right now on Amazon for…

Galaxy was my magazine when I was first starting out as a science fiction reader. There were others, like If, Analog and F&SF, but Galaxy was the one I never missed. It was well-written, well-imagined storytelling that wasn’t anywhere else. At the time I was reading them - late 60's to mid-70s - SF wasn’t the…

Nice article. FB and other social media and ‘news’ sites are tremendously attractive and I will lose vast amounts of time looking at things “I won’t believe!” or “This wacky pet does brain surgery...and plays the oboe!” When I consciously draw the lines, it works out OK, but all this stuff is insidious and eventually…

I think that would change the article’s title from “trashy” to “flat-out shit”.

Wait...there’s another game besides Zelda? I’m really enjoying playing it on the Switch. Last night I even got a horse. I also have the Mario Kart 8, but I’m just going to play Zelda until I get tired of it. I hope they don’t drop any DLC or I’ll never get out.

I agree. When I’m on a client site, I’ll mute the phone and drop it into my bag. I’ll check it a couple of times a day for messages or calls. Some of that is to reduce distraction, some to manage client perception. They hate it when they are paying you by the hour and they see you doing something with your phone. I do…

Summer sale be now.

I’ll have to look for more of these reviews. I love snark with a Brit accent. Also, yeah. Why get an old shooter that I don’t even recall from the first time when there are probably three generations of improvement with the newer games. Although I still like grinding away an hour or two with Borderlands 2 or…
