Now I'm imagining your night ending with you trying to keep up with a conveyor belt of chocolates.

I miss going to the used CD store and flipping through the random assortment of new arrivals. Picking up weird things that you didn't know about because it was cheap and had good or funny album art.

I used to go to Radio Shack when I wanted something immediately, but too often they either didn't have it or charged a price that was simply unacceptable. I'd've been happy to pay a premium to get something immediately, but - for instance - $25 for a cord that's $3.00 online is just too much.

I was honestly thinking Thomas Mann, but still.

In Soviet Union, government gives you healthcare. What A Country!

I wish I could upvote this more than once.

A comment which led me to the discovery that you can sing "tits and dragons" to the tune of "Love and Marriage."

Can you really trust a Death Eater with command of a starship?

I was just about to write the same thing

You can't really say something is just a distraction, when it's all substantively bad things with real world effects that are distracting from other bad things with real world effects.

If anyone is casting a Dracula film, he has Renfield written all over him

"Exceptional" is one of those funny words that's usually complimentary, but isn't necessarily so.

Well when Stephen Miller was first rolled out to the chat shows (on a dolly, like Hannibal Lecter, I imagine) a strong percentage of the commentary I saw was pointing out that he looked like a skin-eating homunculus.

SJW neoliberal?

Yes, the very first thing he did as Iron Man was kill 6 terrorists with simultaneous precision headshots, yet in Iron Man 2 he has serious trouble with a dude who is half-naked but has electric whips

But for the shittiest of white people Willow Rosenberg doesn't count as white people, does she?

That is a good way to put it. I've noticed the same thing in other "real life" appearances, that he seems like he's often playing a character of himself.

Hadn't thought of this in a while, but (for me at least) there was some degree of grinding in the first Legend of Zelda. I found the hidden shop that sold The Blue Ring fairly early, and then ran around killing things approximately forever until I had enough money to buy it.

You don't need to have a plan to defeat ISIS. According to that Flash Gordon villain who's apparently the new terrorism guy, all you have to do is repeat the magic phrase "radical islamic terrorism" and ISIS vanishes like a boggart back into a wardrobe.
