Shoot, dude. If there was such a thing as a "Kazakhstani Orthodox Pastry Festival," I'd so be there. If it was a Georgian Cheese Pastry Festival, I'd be there even faster. #KnowYourRegionalCarbs

I was kinda hoping for a little Bon Jovi "Wanted Dead or Alive" action, but Right Said Fred was demonically painful.

At a briefing at Langley back in 1989, our visiting group got to hold a shoe with a bug in it. Of course, some of the folks with me were holding it up to their heads saying, "Max! Max!" "99! 99!" Ah, the classics never die. I don't think our hosts were amused then, but heck, there's a bugged shoe on display at the…

I like your dad! And I miss the days of going through the Sears catalog — especially in the late 1970s - to find the Star Wars Kenner exclusive toys for which I would beg and harangue my mom for months.

Yep, I'm with you on this, big time. And I love what that dad was doing.

I'm delighted to see a patent troll get rolled back under its bridge. Trip trap, trip trap, little cretins. Even the smallest burst of creativity can be crushed by patent trolls (thinking small podcasters, for instance), and in turn, the financial stability of decent people. Go, Brooklyn Law!

Please tell me that at least one of these images includes a Bruce Campbell-ish figure with a "boomstick."

I think this is a bit like adapting the Dark Tower books for film/TV: there is the promise of triumph or the possibility of tragic failure, with legions of fans who have spent so much time seeing Pern - or Roland's worlds - in the comfort of their own imagination. Interestingly, in both cases, Michael Whelan has…

I don't think Dean is saying "Sammy bear." I think he's saying, "Let's have a beer..."

You get bonus points for the double awesomeness of Tick and Archer references.

And, of course, the best line ever: "They were grabby incandescent douchebags. Goodnight."

And things like this: "One sign of the impending apocalypse is surely skinny jeans."

"Dean... did you service Oberon, King of the Fairies?"

It's the wee little puppet man!

Wow. That's a trip to see. Thank you for posting the video.
