I want to try some whale bacon. That sounds awesome. Time to look into the legality of importing it.

I think I have an explosion boner. An exploner.

I wouldn’t really call that design good. Or anything other than nonsensical. I mean...outside of appearance, functionality. All the blades were drawn back by magnets, right? I mean, that’s what I drew from it.

I squeed a tiny bit. It was good to see her again.

This is somewhat blasphemous, but I want a more direct sequel to House of Leaves. I know, the Whales Letters connects, but those are more prequel/side story. I want to know more about the House.

I rather think of the Bible as the Scarlet to the Torah’s Gone With the Wind.

You’re a monster, I love you.

Hell, yes. So unexpectedly good, so unlike Snow Crash (which was also brilliant). I want more of that world, further in the future.

Aren’t there around 49 followup books to that?

Swapping is cool, I almost wouldn’t mind the inclusion of co-op, though it would have to be handled really well.

Don’t worry, it isn’t as cruel as it looks. The brain has been removed, that’s just nerves firing in response to the sodium. I could do the same thing with a dead human and a car battery.

Hey, Charlie Jane, why not follow this up with its opposite? “Which Movie Would Be Better if it was Less Kid Friendly.”

I’d say there’s a difference between something that may have been improved by changing it, and something that was planned at every step of its creation to be a kids’ movie.

If you’re interested in other avian accessories, Esther, I do recall that in Victorian times, turkeys raised in Norfolk were given boots made of leather to be taken to market. Carrying as many as you would want to transport wasn’t feasible, but without protection in winter (when, of course, they’re most in demand) to

I’m struggling to understand the mechanics of this afterlife. His fur needed to be eaten? But how many predators eat fur? It can’t be specifically because he was preserved—he was shown falling back to Earth as soon as his pelt was removed, not once the preservation process had begun.

I think the same thing every time I see the big bloody crucified Jesus at a Catholic church. “Man, was a Jewish Zombie really the best decoration idea they could come up with?”

This brings up one issue that I’ve grown to loathe: mod interdependence. It’s awful when there’s one mod you want, but you find it depends on another, which depends on another, which depends on another.

I’d really like to punch the asshat yes-man who told Miller his art was worth a damn. I’ve got finger paintings from a five year old on my fridge that look better than that.

Hmm, can multiple people take the same cab in GTA Online?
