Good list, dude. I approve (of all those I’m already familiar with). As an aside, I’d just like to mention - if Dune is the only Frank Herbert book you’ve been through, then do yourself a favor and check out The God Makers. It’s (relatively) short, self-contained, and has a lot of fascinating things to say without…

Reading “me am your father” had me (proverbially) spraying coffee all over my monitor. 

I went on vacation to San Francisco a few years back, maybe 2002 or so. There was a bar on Haight street called Noc Noc (which I think meant Nocturnal, judging by the darkened cave sort of a vibe the place had). The bar had a sign out front advertising the “Anti-Superbowl Party”, which sounded intriguing so we decided…

This is the chorus to an Old 97s song you might enjoy:

Hell, buy three and hide one in your boot for later!

Absolutely!

There is one thing and one thing only that people remember about that movie, and it sure as shit isn’t the plot.

She’s describing an encounter where a person more powerful than her is ignoring her pleas

As someone who is in that exact same position - wife and three daughters under 10 - I can confirm it is indeed both hilarious and exhausting. However, as I like to tell people who express their sympathy, “I ain’t seen nothing yet.” In a few years I’ll have three teenagers under the same roof. It’s bad enough now when…

Dude, the boat you’re in sounds very similar to my own. Wife and three daughters under ten, have to get creative to find any peace and quiet. I have found that insomnia (and long, leisurely bathroom breaks) is the most practical way to get a little private time.

Yuuup. Saw Basic Instinct in a theater with my Dad and both of my brothers, with us ranging in age from 13 to 16. There was no discussion of the movie afterward, which was something we usually did quite a lot of.

I almost keyed someone’s car once; thankfully circumstances stopped me and I realized that it would have been a terribly shitty thing to do.

I pulled into a parking lot at the local grocery store once and accidentally nudged the car next to me with my door. It was very slight (I always open my doors carefully), and I have plastic guards on the edges of my doors so it wouldn’t have left any marks anyway.

Hey now, if Trump and all of his supporters get to live in a delusional reality all of their own making, why should we have to miss out on the fun? Yes, the Gorilla Channel story was obviously, preposterously false, but it was also hilarious, so therefore I will actively choose to remember it as being “true” for the…

This is completely off-topic from the fine point you made (maybe a fifth category? nevermind) but I just found this album the other day, and had to share for reasons that I think you will find self-evident:

Crowdfunding?

Capt. Lethbridge-Stewart mentions his family, and “his boys”, but doesn’t name them specifically. He could easily be the Brigadier’s grandfather.

Ever since Gawker shut down, a lot of the shitposters don’t really know where to go on a regular basis. Some went to Deadspin, lots went to Kotaku, some hang around and troll Jezebel, and some ended up on io9. Now they have AVClub to infest, it was inevitable. (For what it’s worth, it seems to me that Jalopnik was one…

“Why don’t rape victims come forward with their accusations immediately 100% of the time? Those bitches are obviously lying!” Do you see how you have answered your own question? If not, then I cannot help you.
