The good old Tandy. Played a ton of Starflight, Starflight 2, Artic Fox, Silent Service and King’s Quest on those bad boys.

Why feed a hobo for a month when you can look like one for life?

So this will play out Life on the Fast Lane style, except the roles reversed, and desirable pharmacist instead of sexy french bowler?

I’m not particularly proud of this, but when World of Warcraft came out I was fairly fresh out of college, single and living in a studio in Chicago. I didn’t have cash to buy it on the initial release date, so I recall having to wait a week and a half for pay day. My paycheck was electronically deposited, meaning it…

Exactly what I came here to write. This “beef” keeps their names in the tabloids.

That whole thing just made me really sad :(

Even if they did, those shows don’t make themselves. In this case, it’s estimated that maybe 10% of the budget went to the Duggars, with the rest going to the people/companies involved in actually creating the episode. Even if they could force the Duggars to return their cut, no way they’d get it from everyone else.

Interesting. I hereby withdraw the snark intended in my final two sentences.

True, but Honey Boo Boo had declining ratings for the two years leading up to that scandal and the show being cancelled. 19 Kids & Counting, on the other hand, was in the midst of series high ratings and popularity. I don’t think that key difference between the shows is purely coincidental with regards to the…

“I chatted with a couple of the inmates myself and said, ‘You must be a very heavy sleeper. They were heard, they had to be heard.”

I’d bet that TLC probably has a ton of completed or mostly completed (read as: paid for) episodes sitting there that they don’t want to bite the bullet on. I’ve worked on reality series that have grown hugely popular and as you chug along into later seasons, sometimes if popularity is holding up well, the network gets…

The cover certainly looks appropriate for a self published Amazon book.

My mother in law is coming to visit in two weeks. I’ve just been informed that while waiting for footage to come in, I’ll probably have a down day from work on a day when my wife would be at work and my son at school, leaving just me and the aforementioned mother-in-law home together. Would it be horrible of me to…

Yep, hearing this actually just makes me even more cautious about just rushing out to see it.

My apologies, I had a specific dog-mom on my facebook feed in mind when writing that (loves to humblebrag with, say, a gigantic wide shot with the dog by the pool, saying, “My baby is ready for summer,” for example), and it influenced my wording.

Which is more annoying, pictures of babies, or dog moms’ pictures of their “babies?”

I graduated from High School in South Georgia, and they had a similar policy of escorting people who cheered out. Let me just say there was a very suspicious line between what was acceptable “light applause” and expulsion-worth celebration. That line happened, and I’m sure it was entirely coincidental, to fall…

She stole the fucking show in the Broadway run of Nice Work if You Can Get It. That’s the only time I’ve seen her live, and she doesn’t appear until the end, but my goodness if she wasn’t just marvelous. Played her role perfectly (and then autographed my playbill afterwards!).

I like the surprise. I’d totally forgotten about Wasteland 2, then BAM, there it was.
