I always wanted to play that holographic chess game from Star Wars. Those little monster pieces are so cool.

At the time Clerks came out, I was an aimless young man working in a convenience store, hating my life and dithering around about going back to school. Once, on a particularly slow day, we set up an improvised basketball court in the store and played a game that involved the destruction of more than a couple of…

Looking at the photo on top, all I can think now is, "Hey! Justin Long should star in the Eddie Guerrero story!"

I would assume they are going to get Ant Music in there somewhere

They should have made it about a guy with the power to turn into Adam Ant. At least the music would be better.

Maybe he was jewish?

I remember looking forward to del Toro's Hobbit. As soon as he was replaced by Jackson, and the film expanded into films, I knew it was going to be unwatchable shite.

Thank you. I jumped down to the comments to mention this. Zach Taylor was the last Whig elected President. In fact, the only 2 Whigs ever elected both died in office - WH Harrison and Taylor. Probably why they stopped running - it was just too damn dangerous to be a Whig.

For that matter, how the heck does Barry not run himself into walls and stuff? Dude runs on busy city streets - one false step and he has collided with a young woman and her baby stroller, who turned unexpectedly, only to be cut in half by a red streak. It just seems as if there are a ton of unintended consequences…

Here's what I don't understand: If Barry breaks his hand on a normal-speed punch, how does the Mach 1 punch not kill him? He is essentially running into a steel wall, with no protection, at 800 MPH. Sure he can hurt Girder, but wouldn't he turn himself into a stain in the process?

I just had to google a photo of Doug Benson, because I thought he was Doug Stanhope. Perhaps they should consider merging into a single entity of shitty Doug comedy

"Played with Ruth" could be interpreted to mean "played in barnstorming games against Ruth", which is what I always assumed. Ruth frequently played against black players during the offseason, although AFAIK he never played on the same team with them.

That stuff about Buckner is false. 1st base was his regular position - he started 138 games there in 1986 (all 162 in 1985), plus every game in the World Series. He was very much the regular first baseman. You could argue that Buckner should have been removed from the game - he was injured and played terribly…

C'mon, people. Mr. Go is clearly the most realistic. A gorilla is far better suited to playing baseball than a silly kid or a dog.

I think this might be a joke? AFAIK, the only Green Arrow story Alan Moore did was Night Olympics, and the villain there was not named Zsasz, nor was he anything like Zsasz - he was just a guy with a mohawk named Pete Lomax. No marks on his arms or anything. The point of the story (such as it was) was that most…

Well, he did (does?) both. You raise the pigeons, and then you race them against other pigeons. Seriously.

FWIW, Cincinnati, Ohio is the birthplace of the Reform Judaism movement - in the 19th century there was a huge influx of German immigrants, including many jews. The largest Jewish seminary in North America, Hebrew Union College, is in Cincinnati. Not a city you would normally think of as a hotbed of Judaism.

I made this same mistake. Lost a bet thinking Kiel was the one who challenged Newman to a knife fight.

No kidding. And given that Adventure Time, an AVC Favorite, is essentially an animated remake of A Boy and His Dog, they should have been required to bring it up.

Not in West Virginia.
