Reminds me a little of Evelyn Evelyn, one of the many curious projects of Amanda Palmer (and also Jason Webley).

Had some weird cases when I worked as a door-to-door salesman (which is a treasure trove of interesting stories, let me tell you) in a group of teams that were 90% male. Honestly, I liked that job, and I liked my coworkers for the most part. But there were weird little instances, like how some of them would let a…
I think I have about half of these right. Half are just guesses.
#1: A stomach?
#2: The moon
#3: Footprints
#4: Steam
#5: A womb? Is that too literal?
#6: A fire.
#7: Glasses!
In the wake of seeing Interstellar and being kind of disappointed, I really wish Danny Boyle's Sunshine had gotten more love. The first two-thirds of the movie are half tense action and hald brutal psychological drama. And it isn't afraid to ask hard, bleak questions like: do you risk your humanity-saving mission to…
This list could have probably been filled entirely with episodes of Lost, and I saw that as someone who actually really loved Lost.
"Say, didn't The Others have some sort of detective lady played by Diana Scarwid?" "She, uh, she died off-screen."
"Didn't Walt have psychic powers?" "*mumbles incoherently*"
"And how did…
To be fair to Hannibal, with the exception of Hannibal himself, most of the killers are either lonely, deluded, or pathetic. The bodies they leave may be beautiful, but they tend to clearly be ordinary people with deep-seated problems. Eldon Stammetz is weirdly obsessed with mushrooms. Molly Shannon's character is…
You're right, I messed up. I'm on cold meds, so I'm blaming that for my terrible logic.
You're right, I messed up. I'm blaming a head cold for my poor riddle-solving at the moment.
I pencilled it out on pen and paper as a family tree. At the top are two women: the two grandmothers.
Below them, each woman has two children, one male and one female.
The son from each family marries the daughter of the other family. Each of those unions produces a daughter, the original women's granddaughters.
I…
This book blew me away more than I had previously thought possible. Just a fantastic example of weaving myth and real life and history into a fascinating narrative. I can't wait for the TV series.
I'll admit, even I didn't originally think they were gonna pull this off. Silence of the Lambs is classic, and the movies that followed didn't exactly make anyone think the world needed more Dr. Lecter, and we were SO WRONG.
While I'm certainly no fan of today's intense standards of beauty, it is nice to know that we've moved away from poisoning/setting ourselves on fire for the sake of looking good.
I just checked, there is — it was an episode called "The Pool Guy", and the pool guy was played by Lou Diamond Phillips.
Wasn't there an episode of The Twilight Zone (the 2000s reboot, not the original) that did this?
I feel like I remember an episode about a pool boy who had an affair with the woman he worked for and then killed her husband, and this was the punishment. He relived the lead-up to the murder and kept hallucinating the…
Eisenberg as Lex Luthor: because the whole Ben Affleck thing pissed people off so much that they couldn't shut up about it. And not shutting up about it means word-of-mouth buzz! SHUT UP THIS IS FLAWLESS MATH.
It's unsettling, seeing your own corpse.
SPOILERS BELOW + DESCRIPTION OF SOMETHING DISGUSTING
There's multiple scenes from this book that made me want to retch. The most brutal being Chapter 2, the scene that infamously made several people faint at live readings. The chapter describes, in detail, a boy's intestine being sucked out his anus by a pool drain…
Several of my friends are massively into the cosplay scene and will, on a whim, buy colored contacts from booths at comic conventions. They swear by them and say they've never had a problem, but all I can think is "OH GOD YOU ARE STICKING THEM IN YOUR EYEBALL AND YOU DON'T KNOW WHERE THEY'VE BEEN." I'm sure there…
American Horror Story seems to have a...dedication, I suppose, to making sure that both men and women suffer sexual abuse in equal amounts each season. Season 1, Vivien Harmon gets raped, but then a (male) owner of the house gets a fire poker shoved in his anus (post-mortem, THANK GOD). Season 2, Lana is raped by…
Is it okay if I pull one from a third party's relationship? Because I have a doozy.
A friend of mine since elementary school briefly held a relationship with a girl I will call Sarah (not her real name) while we were all in our junior year of high school. Sarah had always been a liar, and we knew this. Up to the age…
