To undermine SG’s leadership qualities to the rest of the staff, and undermine Volovovo’s Vololvovod’s Volvo station wagon’s Iced Vo-Vo’s advice in SG’s mind.

Worlds are currently at sake

I would say “Hugh Jackman would like a word with you”, but he’d probably be too polite to argue.

Can’t have foreigners out-shining the Seppoes at what they pretend is their own game. They’ve reduced themselves to producing clit-extension SUVs and coal-rolling pickups with plenty of flat space on which to paint Confederate flags, but still like to think that everyone things their halo cars are full-bore roaring…

Of course it’s a WA licence plate if it says “BOGAN”.

IT’S A FARKEN HOLDEN COMMODORE!!!

“ALL HAIL NECKBEARD JESUS! HE WILL DELIVER US UNTO MARS IN AN ELECTRIC ROCKET, WHERE WE WILL LIVE WITH OUR WAIFU BODY PILLOWS AND BE DELIVERED UNLIMITED CHICKEN TENDIES BY DRONES!!”

Show. Don’t tell. It’s one of the oldest and best rules of writing, and it’s something that lesser sci-fi never seems to learn - instead preferring giant expo-dumps and flat-out stating. This is why The Expanse rocks. Same way we learn that Chrisjen isn’t in her “world” any more, when Bobby orders her to take off her…

...Hulk’s massive green dong ploughing a majestic furrow through all the daisies.

(oh hey, the authors read a book about space travel once)

Dude made The Abyss, which he lovingly refers to as The Abuse.

She...um...she ain’t the biggest fan o’ Nietzsche, is she?

“No, no, no - she’s an attractive young white woman! She has to be a victim as well- lalalalalaIcan’thearyoulalalala.”

“I have the hottest wife on the planet, the best wife. And only I could do a deal with the women closest to how hot she is - the second-hottest woman in the world - to get her to give up her own hotness and become the second Melania, because that’s the only way you could make a body double of my wife.

“Also, um, yeah.…

Hell, STALKER: Shadow of Chernobyl was like that, but at least it somewhat pointed you in the right direction for the “correct” ending, rather than just going “See? If you just did this complete unforeshadowed, unhinted sequence of incredibly vague events, you’d have known, idiot!”

Not a fan of Marvel movies, then, I take it.

If you can find an archive of Regretsy - April Winchell’s utterly delightful snark-filled blog of the strange and terrible land of Etsy - you’re in for a treat. Especially if you like cat hairball necklaces.
