I was having this conversation with someone the other day. There are a lot of young people that get it, but you can’t really be disillusioned until you’re at least 30. There is a fresh batch of people in their early 30's that are really really getting it now.

From the end of Farscape, Crichton explains the reckoning of exponential growth with a final heaping serving of ham. I use this quote weekly to explain Moore’s Law.

There really aren’t worse cabinet picks, just ones that affect white people more.

“I am, to a large extent, an environmentalist.”

Actually, phase transition engines are used in Martian Successor Nadesco to take a whole battleship from Earth to Mars in about a month. It’s not FTL, but it’s still cool.

All kinds of people take up heroin for the first time every day too. I get it, they’re in pain, their lives are hard; I’m not unsympathetic. However, they started taking heroin! I’m not going to restrain myself from expressing the full gravity of the situation! Anytime someone tells me they voted for Trump, the first…

Didn’t see the first trailer. Don’t need to see it now. Don’t need to see anything else. Totally pumped to see this now.

As long as it mostly makes decisions that I agree with.

Is it Pirating? Yes. But it’s not like it’s pirating new episodes of Doctor Who. It’s like pirating classic Who that you can’t get on DVD or isn’t being shown anywhere. This would be like saying that your local library is pirating the works of Mark Twain when what it’s really doing is providing access to archived…

Man, I wish the Hockey Night in Canada Punjabi crew would have been on this one. By the time they got to a double digit goal count, the announcers were just kind of bored with it. It seems that they were lacking a certain kind of stamina, y’know?

Wait, yeah. I forgot that he got one at the end and it was such an amazing sword that he was able to defeat Clancy Brown because all swords are interchangeable but some have higher stats than others.

Highlander: The Series. What if there was another MacLeod but he had a katana? Six seasons of wonderfully questionable writing, cinematography, and acting.

The cash was later categorized by the IRS as an illegal political donation, if you can even believe it, and the punishment was swift and designed to ensure, well, nothing—Trump was ordered to pay a $2,500 fine and even offered a free apology, calling the alleged bribe an “honest mistake.”

I just made pizzelles for a Christmas cookie exchange. I had to make two dozen pizzelles for each of the other five people in the exchange, and I kept whatever was left for myself. Pretty much all the good ones went out the door and I kept all the burnt and cracked ones for myself. I had enough of a natural buffer…

Society does have a vested interest in raising future generations. Society does not have a vested interest in any particular family’s children. There will always be more people. We have more people than we know what to do with. We have people dying in the streets. Sure we’re sad about it, but it really isn’t setting…

Some of us actually miss having to interact with people instead joining a dungeon queue, being warped to the dungeon, maybe saying ‘sup’, wordlessly plowing through the dungeon, maybe saying ‘thanks’ or ‘gg’, and then being warped back to whatever you were doing before. Some of us actually miss playing grab-ass in…

Wayne, baby, it’s cold outside.

... they went with Sabotage and not Intergalactic?

I do make a mean punch. It involves setting the whole punch bowl on fire.

The way I see it, it took the Titanic about 2.5 hours to sink. That’s enough time for two cigars, three shags, and many stiff drinks if you manage your time well. We’re on a cosmic version of the Titanic. This sucker was always going down, well before Trump. This ride ends in your death and then capitol “V” Void.
