You kind of missed the point of Sploid. While your reading the mind altering schisms of George D and the factualilies of Novak, it's nice to have a place to enjoy the fluff of the internet. Casey hunts the fun like that, drops a paragraph, then goes hunting again. Think of him as that unproductive but link sending…

My guess is that this show has a tragic ending that will explain why they are not around by episode IV.

So Ezra becomes more awesome and powerful, yet for all practical purposes doesn’t exist in Episode IV.

He’d be a better Guy than Hal.

I think he’s talking specifically about fans of the movie.

“There’s no point in acting surprised about it. All the planning charts and demolition orders have been on display at your local planning department in Alpha Centauri for 50 of your Earth years, so you’ve had plenty of time to lodge any formal complaint and it’s far too late to start making a fuss about it now. … What…

Soccer isn’t a very popular sport in the U.S.

Which is sad, because it requires team-work, intuition and precision to score. I live in Utah and I am surprised how many people go to RSL games.

Edit, meant to add /s to the first sentence.

You realize that “too pure for this world” implies that it died, right? AND then you lead off with “This post was very difficult to write.”

You assume that leaving it on the beach means it will die.

The point is that “you” (generic you, the person who comes across the seal pup on the beach) are probably not in a good position to judge whether the animal is actually abandoned or in danger of dying; or whether it only SEEMS to be abandoned (while its mother is away temporarily, getting food, for example).

I know it’s been debunked for baby birds. I’d assume it’s the same for the rest of animal kingdom.

Jennifer is THE break-out star of 12 Monkeys and deserves her own delightfully demented, bat$^&% crazy spin-off series focused on her fractured experience of time vs her post-apocalyptic life with her daughters.

Agreed. Maybe it’s not “novel” anymore, but it’s still really impressive.

“No one is impressed by your dumb choreographed videos, OK Go.”

The answer is YES. Search your feelings, you know it to be true. Every Star Wars game, book, TV series, and fez dispenser has one.

Oh, I don’t begrudge her at all. I’m sure that if I was in her position, I would probably assume it was about that as well. I’m amazed she even keeps an internet presence these days, I definitely wouldn’t be brave enough to do that.

Not going to lie, I think this might be the first time I won’t be buying something.

That’s a pretty solid reason in and of itself

Just curious - is there a reason to buy within your wishlist first other than “I know it’s not an impulse buy because I put it on my wishlist”?
