is this bitch stupid?  what about Kent fucking State?!

the JUMPER series of books by Steven Gould are really great, about a family who develop the ability to teleport and, while a shadowy group of rich assholes who try to control them are a recurring plot point, the books are more focused on asking (and answering) more simple, fundamental questions like: so, okay, you…

you forgot to mention that bastard Reagan.

and listed my mom’s phone number. DOH!

i’ve started asking the person at the front of the house that we don’t want to be seated near families with young children when we go to family-dining places. sometimes i get looks from parents who overhear that request or even a little bit of attitude from the server if they have kids.

no, it wasn’t. it read like bad fan-fic, although as an old-time comics nerd i did appreciate the effort they went to in trying to tie lisbeth’s hacker name in with the comics character... even though it seemed to come out of nowhere four books into the character.

on the topic of ethical news consumption... if we’re listening to the radio in the car, we’re listening to NPR (otherwise music on the CD player).

i had the impression Ray Wise was The Devil, not God - a melancholy Satan more interested in the redemption of sinners but also one willing to punish those without any remorse, like Yuri.

why can’t media companies afford to pay the salary of someone whose job is “just” fixing errors when they were perfectly able to do so for the past 100+ years?

taking you at your word...

the apartments were porn studios during the day.

every time i watch CASINO ROYALE, i lose a couple minutes day-dreaming about building up the thumb strength and scar tissue necessary to just pop a bottle cap off with a flick of my thumb like Isaach De Bankole does.

i love it all but, personally, i keep coming back to THE MIX-UP and way more than i ever thought i would. i probably wouldn’t rank it their top album (which would be either HELLO NASTY and PAUL’S BOUTIQUE depending on my mood) but it rounds out the Top 3 pretty nicely.

damn, how you gonna sleep on “Another Body Murdered” by Faith No More/Boo-Ya Tribe from the Judgement Night soundtrack? all that crazy ass shrieking is as horrifying as the shaking creatures in Jacob’s Ladder, plus i just love the dude constantly telling everyone to BANG YOUR HEAD TO THISSS!!

The Ocho!

“Thanks for the weird question!”

my ride about 10 years ago was a 92 Lincoln Towncar with a real bumper - i bounced that sweet baby off stuff like i was driving in a demo derby at the county fair and still looked like i was driving around in a limo.

i used to feel that way, so i get it. that said, i’ve recently decided to downsize my collection and started culling my stuff. i’ve given away a bunch of my old comics from the 80s and 90s to trick or treaters, for example, and that was fun.

i mean, i understand the point of buying a bunch of really fancy, expensive ingredients for this doofus to fuck around with is “Fuck You Univision - you’re a big corporate megalith and have too much money, plus we all know the company executives blow this kind of money off the ashes of their expense-accounted cigars.”

try the public library?
