My pre-season prediction was the Ice Warrior Empress was doing battle with the Flood in a Waters prequel based on the actions of Heather here. Dammit.

You're driving me up a wall with these puns.

She then switches majors to become a chiropractor: Back-ish

Synthesizers for the Devil? Pleased to meet you!

Please not Capaldi's last! Season 9 had him if not overtly hilarious, then at least tolerable and maintained the edge of ancient fury that roils within the character. Plus Peter simply brings it. Even my mom went from utterly disparaging the show to wanting to see more 12 doctor.

There was a similar situation in Canada recently when the Tragically Hip was on their final tour and ticket bots scooped up all the tickets for resale at many times the face price. As this band is, for many, a national treasure, there was much hand wringing (I don't know about actual legislation). The government got…

Ya, Johner, like you've never fucked a robot!

I also remembered being blown away by the call back to that scene when playing GTA: San Andreas. I loved it and felt that alone made the game worth every penny.

Hey, the British Columbia government wasn't *that* bad in the '90s! Today, perhaps.

"Please note the location of the emergency exits. Also note the lean muscle mass of the people around you and who looks the most marbled. Your seat cushion may be used as a flotation device or serving tray."

What'cha reading for?

I've found that interesting about Shakespeare adaptations as well. I guess this is more 'based on the original play' more than 'true story', but you did say 'adaptation' ;) Anyway, I was thinking of the continuum of re-working the story to an original setting (i.e. 'West Side Story' vs Romeo and Juliet), to using the…

"This is your power source. And feeble though it is, I can use it to blow this whole room if I see one thing that I don't like. And that includes karaoke and mimes, so take no chances." 12 Doctor really is the best.

With the Jeff Healey Band as the house band! Not bad for a blind white boy.

I know a priest who called him "Scoopy scoopy dog dog". ('Twas Father Crilley).

I still think that Sam Jackson is one of the few actors who can effectively swear with menace. Both in PF and in 'The 51st State/Formula 51' ('chever) when he turns to Robby Carlisle and says 'No, motherfucker'; he knows how to use his whole body when swearing and reminding us the purpose of those words.

My 1.8 year-old does a mean "MMmm hmmm" before he makes me add "That is a tasty burger!". Only 15 more years until I can fully provide the context…

I was living in Daleville, Alabama at the time this was on, and can confirm that My Name is Earl was not a comedy, but rather a documentary.

Made my BBQ sauce on the weekend for freezing: tomato puree, onion powder/garlic powder/salt/pepper, Worchester sauce, hot sauce, liquid smoke (sorry), butter, maple syrup and reduced pomegranate juice. May change tomato puree to juice next time as Mrs. Balls prefers a thinner sauce.

Who the fuck is Renee Zel Wigger?
