I don’t have any good poop stories, but my dad was a Marine for 30 years and had some good ones. One of the first I remember him telling me was when he was about to take his first jump in a parachute. Just as they started pushing guys out the door he felt something pushing out his backdoor. He clenched down tight. …

Guy I shared an office with in grad school had a twinkie he saved from his first day until his defense, about 6 years or so. We opened it...oh my god the smell. Like sawdust mixed with rancid bananas. We cracked it in half (yes, cracked) and the cream inside had the consistency of spray-on foam insulation. He…

Uhh, Shawshank Redemption is a rare example of The Magical Caucasian, thank you very much.

See, now I’m jealous that as a man I’m getting all these lame-ass handshakes when I could be getting hugs.

I’m not sure the author grasps the difference between 360 degrees and spherical.

Meh. Book covers often feature scenes that are either not in the book or are totally abstract. I prefer made up shots to misleading cuts connecting different events in the movie

Am I crazy, or did Capaldi’s hands look younger and more feminine after he started and then stopped the regeneration?

Presented without context? It’s not plastered on a bumper sticker or a billboard, it’s on the cover of a graphic novel. You know, the thing you read to find out what that cover is all about? What do you want, a friendly bubble that says “Hey idiot, this is bad, we think this is bad, and in this comic we talk about…

The EU sucked and I’m glad it’s gone and Disney seems determined not to let that festersing shitpile reemerge. I’ll take Rogue One over everything that was ever in the EU. Everything that comes after this is just gravy.

I always assumed Joss Whedon killed him off.

I asked a bunch of people at work if they wanted to have an STD viewing party with me. No one said yes, and now I have to talk to HR.

So are we not going to read anything into Captain America being down on his back?

You misunderstand. I’m talking about the instinctive gut-level response people have to physical events that are way outside of anything we could possibly ever experience directly. Our intuition is seriously bad at handling this sort of thing. I know physicists who deal with quantum phemonena on a daily basis and…

So you’re positing some kind of degeneracy pressure stronger than the neutron degeneracy that keeps neutron stars from collapsing. Good news! Other people have thought of the same thing, which is how we get novel ideas like quark and preon stars. Unfortunately we don’t even know if preons exist (they’re supposed to…

only slightly distinguishable from a hamburger so long as it’s got all of the fixings like pickles and sauce.

So I just saw the word fermentation and now will go around the rest of my life assuming that salamanders are continuously drunk.

Crumbs-n-cheese

A good first step, but this:

Well, I think it’s time to update my late-90's “wish list” of actors for various parts. *Sigh*. Gates McFadden would have made a perfect Morgase.

You should definitely watch the US remake of Oldboy then. You would absolutely not have any problem with anything that happens in that movie.
