"The Dying of the Light" by George R. R, Martin. I was heavy into science fiction at the time and picked this up on a whim, never read any Martin before. I got all I expected and more. Science fiction, sword fantasy, and a morality play about perception and and honor. As a young man, the book gave me some insight in…

The keyboard grew dusty; alone and unused.

I love the smell of comets in the morning. It smells like....Death.

Reddington? Is that you? You're a robot now? Why are you blacklisting the Avengers?

Spiders on the ground; leave unfound. Spiders in the sky; "Oh, God! It's in my eye! (With regards to the nasty beast that keeps building a web across my walkway.)

I'm going to side with the chef on this one. If you could teach a tomato to shit, you would have catchup, ketchup, catsup, or ketsup. Spell it any way you want.

GiTS is one of my favorites. Let's hope they don' fuck it up!

How do these compare to Mormon crickets (No offense intended) They look surprisingly similar. As a kid, I used to catch Mormon crickets in Texas. They would eat anything including other crickets and they WOULD bite humans. Ask the little boy who foolishly stuck his hand in the jar.

But also, the loneliest. No one would ever call you.

Must we protect our children at the expense of "Darwinism". Parents! Teach your children how to live safely. Learn to tell them, "Don't do that!" There will always be something dangerous out there. Help your children to recognize dangerous situations and don't depend on the authorities to protect you and yours…

As a boy I would constantly bring home snakes for pets (much to my parents displeasure). Only once did I come across a hognose snake and it exhibited the same behavior as in the video. It flipped on its back and would flip back if I turned it over, as if if to say, "I'm dead, damn it, can't you take a hint!"

Maybe the correct way to look at it is to say that most people only use 10% of their intelligence. One only has to go out in public or drive a short distance to see this is true.

This is why Russians can't have nice things.....or rockets, or bombs, or weapons of mass destruction. They are simply banana-pants crazy. (Not all of them, of course, just enough to make the world a more dangerous place to live.)

Pro: I'm lucky enough to have read 90% of these. Con: Unfortunately, I read them when they were first released. (Suddenly, I'm feeling old.)

To quote one of the great philosophers of our time, "There's no fixing stupid."

I enjoyed the review, but too late. For better or worse, mine arrives tomorrow. The best benefit? I will no longer have to answer calls for my wife on my phone.

Patience. Patience is a virtue; virtue is it's own reward.

Mathematicians telling me how to eat cake? Realistically, cake does not have a life span of more than two days in our household. If I were to get a cake all to myself, it would be quite simple to cut. One piece for now. One piece for a little later. Drying out is not a problem. It would be nice to have a piece of…

Why bother making the movie at all if they're taking all the essence out of it. Thin i'll just watch the original.

We have a term for this, "food porn". What I find truly amazing about this video is the degree of customer service that is presented. I'm afraid that around here, if we asked for a remake, it would probably come back with some undesirable body fluids added. Maybe having cameras present and filming has a positive…
