Not drugs. Bugs.

Well, these Penguin Classics are only $9.95, so it's not like they're too expensive or anything. I work at a bookstore, and these Penguins are definitely "whim buying". Hell, I'm buying about two a week!

With one hell of a turkey coma.

But Monsanto's still evil incarnate, right? Please tell me it's OK to still consider Monsanto the absolute pinnacle of evilness on this planet.

Sounds a bit like China Miéville's most recent novel, Railsea.

I know it's not a series, per se, but the Bas-Lag "trilogy" from China Miéville certainly warrants a mention. Perdido Street Station, The Scar and (to a slightly lesser extent) Iron Council were meaty, strange, invigorating and wholly unlike anything else in the sci-fi/fantasy/steam-punk/body-horror genre.

Somebody else had stated that it meant her "reputation is dead".

Well, there's a huge difference between talking about, say, The Wire or Six Feet Under and yakking about Season 4 of Breaking Bad and the upcoming third season of Game Of Thrones in that (here in Australia, anyway) they take a few months to make their way over here. It's not laziness, it's simple inability to be as up

Yeah, I was so appalled by the choice of Oprah fucking Winfrey for Planet Earth, I literally left the country. (Well, I was leaving already, but that choice of narration made the move much easier)

Needs some Benny Hill music in the background.

Wow, when he was running up those stairs at the air field, I was literally holding my breath. That looked pretty thrilling, to say the least.

And this Batman's business card will be in bone. With Silian Rail lettering.

I'm surprised China didn't figure this out a long, long time ago. However, if they had, then the panda would be extinct, every body part they possess being ground up for "medicine".

Oh, I'd put Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome on this list. Absolutely dreadful film, but those scenes between Max and Auntie Entity? Priceless.

What was that film, came out in the early '80s, with Mark Hamill himself the recipient of some kind of outer-space cannon he could place on his arm - but it was slowly turning him into an evil lout? Featured these two weird aliens with tortoise heads and necks who were hunting him down in the desert ... or something

What about him puts you off? I find him rather charming myself.

And giraffes! What the fuck's up with those long-ass necks?

Wow, that was a pretty fucking stupid thing to say.

Agreed! However, wouldn't the 2nd Amendment belong in the "Relics of Ye Olden Days" list?
