This and the Rockies' signing of Jamie Moyer are the best experiments with slow pitch I've ever seen.

I've seen that thing before. It doesn't go fast, but it makes phenomenal torque.

Black and puffy. Always black and puffy.

"...ditch it altogether and put that energy towards customizing your resume, making connections, or building a portfolio of your actual work..."

Where I went to school (a major university), that crap would get a place shut down. Quickly. I highly doubt this is a standard practice at universities. They have plenty of customers already. I suppose you could pay off the cops, but why?

I just thought they all went to College Station to poop on their stadium.

Best Made purportedly makes good axes, and Maurice Sendak was a great artist, and the proceeds are going to a good cause. Still, there is something about the level of pretension in this that makes it hard to like.

Not that you should need another reason to watch, but the entire soundtrack of the movie (not just the trailer) is by DJ Shadow.

The marketing for this product is making people feel bad about their essence.

This is totally my old college creative writing classes coming to the surface, but to me the funniest thing is the very last panel, when Andy attacks the marijuana grower, and Dodd feels compelled to throw in a text box that says, "Andy attacks the marijuana grower."

That is unbelievable. I feel bad for the kids whose parents won't let them on that thing.

That. Is. Awesome.

1. Can't climb on top.

So that's just reflectivity, and not bioluminescence? It looks like it's producing more light than there is to reflect.

I'd guess that the bed flips up, so that would account for enough storage to hold all the clothes a struggling artist would own.

That's what I meant by the minor hormone production. Whatever number of beta cells are in the gallbladder, I doubt black market traders are isolating and culturing them (unless they're turning around and selling them to crooked pharma companies, I guess). They probably just want them for the bile itself.
