I sense the spirit of FFF past in this article. You've managed to capture the alcoholism-inducing spirit of the season. Well done, sir.

Now Zoidberg is Big!

I have been trying to think of a way to spell out the sound the Imperial Probe Droid made all day. Well done, sir.

I didn't think Olivia talked Peter back so much. To me it was clearly orchestrated by Windmark as a way to neutralize the threat Peter represented. He manipulated enough events to give her the impetus and means to talk Peter out of his plan.

Thanks you for illustrating my point. I'm glad I'm not the only one who recognizes that this is nonsense.

But you expect people who disagree with you to do just that.

I'm confused. Does this guy seriously think making everyone go back to 19th century living standards is feasible and/or preferable to the current situation? Why would horse-and-buggy technology be considered more "sustainable?"

One of my favorite comebacks to the Maya calendar doomsayers is to politely point out that the Mayans did not even predict the end of their own civilization. How are we to trust them to have predicted the end of ours?

Welcome to the real world. Conservative people like myself enjoy the hell out of music and art produced by people whose ideology is directly opposed to ours.

So, believing in a young Earth created by a god is ridiculous, and believing in an old Earth created by a god is ridiculous?

Umm. OK. Many of us followed Rob pretty closely when he ran that other blog. We're fully aware of his humor and style and still think inviting him to publish the same column and then yanking it before giving it a chance to catch on is a sorry thing to do.

good to see you braxy.

I vote for any incarnation of The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy.

Anyone else remember the time NASA announced they had discovered "arsenic-based life forms here on Earth, and then it turned out the woman who made the discovery was just a nut case?

You know, he lost the election. You can put the irrational rage and hatred away now.

Nice catch, Rob. And seriously. Some of the vitriol aimed at BBT is uncalled for. Most sitcom characters are somewhat broadly-drawn and rely on stereotype to one extent or another. I consider myself nerd-friendly and I enjoy the show.

/sigh/

He will, my friend. He will.

My God...
