Other than suffering from some sort of disgusting real world illness (instead of fictional consumption), it's been a good week for used books. I got Dr. Seuss Goes to War and The Science of Superheroes.

I don't really mind that The Science of Superheroes is a total dream-smashing buzzkill since that's sort of the point, but I expect accuracy, ( Read more... )

Good news, everyone! I've finally figured out why I've never really taken to Catwoman's current costume:

( Lots of pictures, nerd-rage )

I liked everything before it was cool!I've found that if I can remember the username of a scans_daily user, it's because I fucking hate them. (Feel free to ban me from lurking for that violation of your lengthy, overly sensitive, SRS BSNS TOS, s_d mods ( Read more... )

Arrghh, why did I click on this?

Understanding Fat Dogs

but since we know humans don't get fat because they eat too much, isn't it worth considering that the same is true with dogs?

Uhh...if you stuff too much food in your face, you'll gain weight.

I'm not being facetious, but reading all of these comments about how embarrassed and ( Read more... )

Amazon Now Selling More Kindle Books Than Hardcovers

Thanks to my crazy friends at cf_hardcore, I've discovered Love-shy, where the future sociopaths of the internet try to figure out why they can't get girlfriends:

Ok. So I've accepted the idea that due to my inability to initiate contact, I'm probably not going to find a girlfriend. That ship has sailed and I now avoid females due to my becoming resentful of ( Read more... )

Steven won Star Trek Scene It. Which is kind of a loss and a victory for Team Simone. We Simones believe that one should always crush one's opponents in glorious board game and/or cards, but I think we're also kind of okay with not being able to name TNG episodes. By their actual names, not "you know, when Worf hooked up with that half Klingon ( Read more... )

Why actually read or watch Twilight when Twilight fandom gives me so much amusement?

When Twilight fandom becomes an addiction

How to calm my Twilight addiction, help me please!?:

I HAVE to read it or I break down crying. It's awful! I don't want to tell anyone about it...I want to keep it to myself...but I fear it's unhealthy. I need some way ( Read more... )

While trying to find embroidery floss colors that match Star Trek uniforms, I found this hidden treasure of the internet: Star Trek Bitches I Would Fuck.

I'd like to be offended by some of this, but his Next Generation bitch he would fuck raises some good points.

The Fark link to and thread on The People vs. George Lucas has reminded me of yet another family shame: one of my home schooled, fundy cousins likes the prequel trilogy better than the original trilogy. Because she finds Leia annoying ( Read more... )
