This was mocking the trend, yes.

There are a lot of alleys here in this city that never sleeps. I do sleep some of the time, little stopovers to the land of Nod to avoid the big sleep. It's a noirish alley, the kind of place where you're looking for a bird made of atium, and when you scrape off the surface it's plain aluminum. I knew this forum was trouble the moment it walked in the door, legs up to here and high-contrast striped lighting. There's a set of blinds in front of every light source around here. It's the kind of place where the cops only show up after you dramatically strike a match, and the crooks only show up when you strike gold. And here you are. You wandered into the office of some two-bit chull of a private eye. What's your angle? You want to find out somebody's secrets, or are you just covering up your own?

Gangsta seems to be a bunch of good characters and visuals in search of a solid story. Bleak bleeds into bland.

Video. It was originally part of "Acceptable.tv", the VH1 spinoff of Channel101.com. They made, I think, 9(?) episodes, 3 minutes a piece.

Twi, if you dare: Mr. Sprinkles. NSFW, NSF Kids, and it will confirm how insane the Cat in the Hat is.

I had been planning, back when Episode III was about to come out, to then go and rewatch the originals to see how the story felt with all this new info. I got like 10 minutes into Star Wars and went, "But wait! They never wiped R2's memory. He knows who everyone is!" and then a half dozen other little plot holes piled up and I cursed Lucas for ruining Star Wars! Years passed and I forgot most of the side details of the prequels, and could thus watch the real ones again with them safely un-canon.

That episode was "the dog's unmentionables."

Oh, uhh... Iron Man 3.

After just a tiny bit of research on Duda - he won the presidential election, and then resigned his party membership? Who does that? Why?

Doctor Who preorderers got the season 7 finale early. They didn't. Spoil. A thing. It can be done.

I left mine out on the curb. None of the animals wanted to come near it. Nature abhors a vacuum.

Midnight always played like a theater gimmick to me. (Same thing for the similar movie Pontypool.)

What do we want? Accurate clocks! When do we want 'em? We don't know!

Titanic?

I similarly don't say the pledge. It's a bit militaristic, isn't it? Expecting everyone to stand up and recite a loyalty oath? Oh, and standing at the chorus of Handel's Messiah - dude. This shouldn't even be a tradition. You do it literally because a king did it once.

Just because of the kick I'm on this past week or so... T A C T I C A L C A N E A T I N G A C T I O N METAL GOAT SOLID "Snake, do you think love can bloom on a goat?" "Six goats. More than enough to kill anything that moves." "I hear it's amazing when the famous purple stuffed goat in flap-jaw space with the tuning fork does a raw blink on Hara-Kiri Rock." [it's totally nonsensical now!] "She will go down in official history as a war goat." "<sizzling eggs> Come quick! They're ready! They look... yummy! Sorta like a goat. It's rising again..." Non-goat separator:

Relax, fans, relax. Doctor Who was always stupid. Doctor Who was always smart. It was always for kids. It was always for adults. It always had bizarre, kinda messed up episodes (remember the Four serial about how taxes are evil?) That's its strength. It. Is. Everything.

Mutts are, in general, hardier, more resistant to disease, than purebreds. If you go to a shelter, or any place, and see a dog who looks like fun, go for it. The dog will love you so storming much.

Try lox on bagels, then. Mmm!

Why did the hamburger cross the road? I dunno, it was on a roll. "Dr. Frankenstein was way more muscular than that. Dude was ripped." "How do you know that?" "He was a bodybuilder."

A donut is a little cake. A bagel is sad, hard, grumpy bread.

Weird things happen with readers sometimes. I read Sanderson through an Android tablet, and frequently the last couple pages of a chapter would be skipped. I had to figure out through context that I had missed the deaths of (spoilers for Mistborn: the Final Empire and The Well of Ascension.)

The Three Billy Goats Gruff.
