I've read the book a bajillion times, and I've been following all the discussions on io9 about the movie and the titles and everything... and your comment is the first time I've ever noticed the second "the". I've been reading it as "The Battle of Five Armies" the whole time. Huh.

This just took a turn into Saints Row territory.

Bill Peet! I recently bought his autobiography for my kid who loves to draw. I loved that book growing up, and must have checked it out from my school library ten times. It's a kid's book, but still full of great, sad details about his tumultuous relationship with Walt Disney, the man. I've always thought as an…

Haven't you figured it out yet. America has lost the fight. It is now an nation run by the very wealthy and corp. It doesn't matter what political party you think you are a part of. It's about sucking as much money out what left before it gone. Remember Money is Free Speech. If you have a lot of it. The more you are…

He is the product of Ferndale, California, a proud cow town hidden here behind the Redwood Curtain. It's a small town, filled with the descendents of Swiss/Portagee/Italian cow people who spend a lot of time with cows and who do cow-related things together.

Poutine is that and so much more. I would take standard-issue chip-wagon poutine over Triple Truffle Fries any day. And it would not cost me $14USD.

I have made fun of virtually every single major American city at this point, including my own hometown (repeatedly). Detroit doesn't get a pass, because nowhere gets a pass.

RING THE BELL IN FLAVORTOWN SQUARE BECAUSE GUY REVERE IS RIDING HIS 4-COURSE FLAVOR HORSE THROUGH THE STREETS TO WARN YOU ABOUT HIS BRAND NEW CASH MONEY DELI BRO-GIE JAM PACKED WITH MORE MEAT THAN A DRUNK SORORITY GIRL ON A SATURDAY NIGHT. AND THIS AIN'T NO GAY-OLI MY FRIENDS, OUR STRAIGHT GANGSTER VOLCANO AIOLI SAUCE…

Given your username, I feel like you saw this and went "MY MOMENT HAS ARRIVED."

No, my response is based on a career in information technology.

The sex scene - hell, it was a gangbang - in that caught me totes off guard.

So they won't like my Steampunk Killer Mermaid Time Travellers who kills Snow White and the Seven Zombies to avenge their dad's death and then they find out it was Earth All A Long because they hated every Ape they saw from Chimpan-A to Chimpan-Zee Story?

I don't have the slightest interest in using marijuana, but science is a topic that is frequently covered on both this site and The Verge, so it doesn't seem out of place to me to report on bad science being debunked.

No, that would make it flatter yet.

I tell people this all the time, they are the most dangerous animal in Africa. They are huge, strong and can get you on land or in water. Google Hippo chase. The naked people running are funniest.

Yep... a fact that is kind of curiously overlooked here. Granted, it doesn't change the fact that Hamilton will get their first, but he DOES have a sizable head start.

Born and raised in Texas here. My dad is not strict at all but his dad was. I was a "Yes, sir" guy before I played football and went into the Air Force. I figured out in those occasions my raising came in handy. Still does now!

Why? I don't lose respect for someone when they say they like CoD.

Texas thing maybe? My parents taught us to always use manners like that. It probably isn't exclusive to Texas, but my parents made us think that Texans are better than everyone and we should act like it.

It's a fairly common thing in the southern US to have kids call their father "sir." But yeah, it reads really weird most other places (like, what are the odds the kids would say "no, I don't understand, could you explain that again?" if they've been trained to always answer with a droning "yes, sir?"), and seems…
