Clef is one of the most brilliant, talented cosplayers out there. Very few cosplayers can pull off Joy, Tinkerbell, Power Girl and Black Widow with the same level of quality and similarity to the character.

Airsoft pellets are 300 - 400 feet per second. Pistol bullets are in the 1200 fps range (off the top of my head). So, 4 times faster, and solid metal. That would be impressive.

I have to ask about the elephant in the room: where’s the rule 34 version?

Ahh, he just lost count. 4 is a big number for most of these guys. Send him to Canada, where we only have 3 downs. He’ll be much better.

Bondage, plus the “do not have sex with this robot” robot? The subtext is strong with this one.

And this is why cats are so much cooler than dogs. A cat would never put up with this shi ...

When I was five years old, we lived in a small town in Lincolnshire named Normanby-by-Spital. You can find it on Google Maps. There was a Vulcan base nearby, so I saw low fly-bys right over the house. When you’re five years old it’s something you never forget.

My Dad was a test engineer on the Comet 3. He’s got some really cool stories about the test flights, and he can name-drop some pretty famous DeHaviland test pilots.

Here’s what it used to be like, I hope the theme music survives:

Seconded. I found some rental sites on the Internet, and ended up with a little device that cost me about $60 for unlimited wifi for a week. And they delivered it to my hotel so it was waiting for me when I checked in. And everything works in the subways, too.

I think a lot went on off-camera. I think there’s a story about Barry Williams developing a crush on Florence Henderson, and going on a date with her.

But he wasn’t, really. He was short, for a thoroughbred, but incredibly muscled, not like a body builder but more like an MMA fighter. There’s an old PBS Nova episode. called ‘A Magic Way of Going’ about race horses. It’s hard to find now, but it is really wonderful, and they talk a bit about Secretariat in it.

1. What’s with the drag queen in the upper-right corner of some shots?

Hey, here in Toronto we have “The Old Spaghetti Factory”. I wonder how many people ask if old spaghetti is better than new spaghetti?

I’ve developed an irrational hatred of those things, so I call them ‘Toe rags”.

The show is called “Jack Taylor” and Iain Glen is awesome in it. You’d better be able to handle Galway accents, though.

What is it with Americans? Are you physically incapable of making your own food? Your country invented the concept of ‘fast food’ and it’s slowly killing the lot of you. Watch ‘Supersize Me’ or half a dozen other documentaries if you don’t believe me.

Well, sure, until the giant robots show up ...

It's a pity Woot is one of the few barbaric companies left that only ship within the US.

Sorry, but this line from her web site deserves attention:
