Q: What can you learn from mmo players about social interactions?

| February 23, 2009

A:  Nothing!  They don’t interact with humans!  *ba dum ting*!  But seriously folks, I’m here for all of the next 5 minutes.  Is this thing on? But really seriously folks, Sony gave some folks 60 TB of EQ2 data to pour through and analyze. This bit cracks me up.  Money!: Buried among those happy, average [...]

Guy walking around with a gun?  This is America!  Not such a big deal.  But this is funny (yes, in a sad way).

Reading too much into lyrics: One Night in Bangkok

| February 20, 2009

This will be somewhat reminiscent of an earlier post I did on linguistic applications in contemporary songcraft…O.O  OK I mean reading way too much into song lyrics.  So I decided to make it into a semi-regular feature type. Jen was playing this for some reason this morning (something to do with Abba), and it hit [...]

Atlantic City/Hold Steady

| February 20, 2009

What’s cooler than the Hold Steady doing Dylan? The Hold Steady doing Springsteen? Nah actually I like the Dylan cover a little bit more.  Both are kick ass though.

Republicans to voters: we’ll vote against the stimulus, because we’re d!icks, but we’ll still grab every dime we can get from it – also because we’re d!cks

| February 19, 2009

Note1: I’m not supporting or opposing stimulus here, just making fun of politicians as usual. Note2: Yes, I was going for longest title ever. This should surprise no one. Hell I’m just going to quote the whole thing: Not a penny of the stimulus for the GOP districts I suppose no one should be surprised [...]

X-Factor 40

| February 19, 2009

was not as..interesting as 39.  There was a “big reveal” at the end.  Sort of, but it was much more “comic booky” than the last – even though a return to the status quo and the lack of parents actually raising aging children is about as comic booky as you can get – it was [...]

Pullbox for 02/18/09

| February 18, 2009

Guardians of the Galaxy 10 – Still fueled by awesomesauce.  The lineup continues to fluctuate, and I continue to hope Starlord will get some kind of power/tech upgrade.  Rocket Raccoon at least has racoon-like speed and agility!  Or some shit. Young X-Men 10 – I figured I’d pick up the last 3 issues…just because I’ve [...]

people less attractive than Meryl Streep

| February 18, 2009

are apparently getting extra work. So Jen was watching Mama Mia last night, and I couldn’t help but notice that both Meryl’s characters friends…were shrewish hags.  OH OK, not horribly, but they were plain as shit. I mean, really.  You’d be hard pressed to find more average looking women than those two.  And they can’t [...]

Coates on the Palin bastard

| February 17, 2009

Link.  I think he covers it pretty well.  The whole situation cracks me up – hypocrisy playing itself out in the national media.  Good times. I only add “bastard” because it’s technically true.  I completely disagree with all negative connotations associated with the word: single parents can raise wonderful and loving children.   Good luck to [...]
