I'll take that one step further, @George_Liquor:disqus. The United States had an alien ship in their possession for nearly 50 years by that point. It's not a big leap to believe that if that didn't lead directly to some of our technological advances, Goldblum at least had something to test against. The time frame is…

Then go and get Sea Change.

::whispers:: "Do it."

You're pointing out the part of the monologue that really rubbed me the wrong way.

In close-ups that just feature her, she looks like she's about 17. It's really bizarre.

Yeah, sorry, I was kind of generalizing my game experience, rather than any one turn. I was only getting 3 silver per phase anyway, plus what I got for selling, so really I was only getting 2 black market tiles per phase. Still, it was satisfying.

I kind of went nuts with mine tiles, getting and placing all 3 before the end of Phase 2. It worked out very well, though - not having to use your dice to acquire tiles is a huge advantage. Buy, place, buy, place. I ended up with 4 big banners, filling in the entire board except for animals, plus getting all kinds of…

Did we get a link to Ellen Page on Colbert this week? Yowza.

Even if you don't want to go to the party, it's still nice to be invited.

This person has an interesting comment history. There seems to be a lot of trolling on right-wing sites, using reductio ad absurdum. (Example: "this is very extremely true. All 1.2 billion Muslims on earth have exactly the same agenda and beliefs.") But then there are a couple of comments like this one, as well as…

I dedeuce that this thread won't be very poopular with some readers.

Gotcha, the "nice guy" who thinks of himself as being so nice that he should be irresistible, and any chick not banging him is doing something horrible.

Atheists as slut-shamers? That's something I've never experienced - without sex being this whole "gift from God" nonsense, it seems that gettin' it on in general is a pretty positive thing.

Come on, Zack, you have to tell us if you found him wanting.

Not a dealbreaker, but a peeve: "guilty pleasure." Don't be so self-conscious! Like what you like, and don't worry about what we think of it!

"Oh, you should give Kill Bill a chance. You'll like it, I promise."
~Everybody, when they find out I don't like Quentin Tarantino movies

You know, that's really interesting. My girlfriend loves art (and is an art history major), and visual art tends not to be my thing. But damned if I didn't go to all the museums in Paris with her. A lot of the artifacts bored me, but at least I was able to give certain things a chance. Rodin is a pretty interesting…

It's true! The fanatic denial of things that have absolutely no evidence is exactly the same as the fanatic belief of things that have absolutely no evidence!

For the past week and a half or so I've been playing a browser game called New Star Soccer on Kongregate. Gameplay is simple but interesting, the lifestyle/advancement system is fun, and the league play is surprisingly deep. Near as I can tell, just about every league in the world is represented, and the ones I've…

This just in: Kurt Cobain, still dead.
