I've been dating on the internet since there was a publicly accessible internet (chatting with boys on IRC back in '96) so much so that I blame the web for making it impossible for me to have ever met anyone away from the keyboard. Almost any time anyone has ever tried to chat me up out in the world, I've mostly…

And sinners going HAW! HAW! HAW!

Then this will really get your (horned) goat... one of the witnesses in the McMartin trial not only lied about being a Satanic ritual abuse survivor but later on changed her name and lied about being a Holocaust survivor: Laurel Rose Wilson.

That makes a lot of sense. Beginning the reading by telling folks that 3 people passed out the night before is definitely going to affect suggestible people.

My cousin read large parts of this book out loud to me in middle school but refused to tell me how the book ended. Cue me having nightmares about this book for about 15 years.
I found a copy at a used bookstore 2 years ago and screamed. I bought it and read it at 10am sitting on a beach and I still had goosebumps.

"The Witch" has always been the scariest of her stories for me.

I was the 2nd person at one of these readings in San Francisco in 2003 to [nearly] pass out butI got up and staggered out of the room before I hit the ground. It was something between the body terror of the story and how hot and airless the room is beneath the Hayes Valley library branch that did it to me.
Absolutely…

Deadkidsongs by Toby Litt is easily one of the most disturbing, nightmarish books I've ever read. He's virtually unknown in the States but he's one of the best English writers publishing in my opinion. Find a copy!

I wish the background was at least BB green or a black and white shot of Albuquerque. The blue is killing my retinas.

It's evil, that's what.
Esp. when you look at the stats and realize you've been playing for 797 hours (currently.)

I'm pretty excited for that casting. As much as that wig looks horrifying, James Deen is the ladies' choice for porn stars. He'll bring some gravitas to the role, or at least some intense stares.

Absolutely. I do wish there was a way to donate to the author's Paypal without doxxing her though.

There is a Vagina Monologues porn parody. Just let that sink in for a moment. I hope you're proud, America.

This book might bring me back into the Block fold. I loved Weetzie Bat and the Hanged Man and the early short stories but I grew out of her style at some point. The oddly stilted. Automatic whimsy. Pink sunglasses.

Or the second Steve Jobs film:

My cousin died from altitude sickness at the end of a 5 day hike in the Rockies. Even awareness can't do much for you if you're 25 miles from help.

How good would an episode be where the Doctor lands on Summerisle on May Day and gets to watch all of the events unfold?

This made me think of spite fences, specifically the one built by Charles Crocker in San Francisco: http://foundsf.org/index.php?titl…

One of the many reasons that I love io9:
