'War Stories'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Considering the date, this story is doubly awesome:
Rock star Meat Loaf is suing the man who wrote his most famous song in a row about who "owns" the title.
The musician claims he - and not Jim Steinman - should hold the rights to the phrase Bat Out of Hell.
Meat Loaf - whose real name is Marvin Lee Aday - is claiming more than $50m (£26.7m) in damages and has also named his manager David Sonenberg in the case.
He claims both are trying to disrupt the release of Bat Out of Hell III.

I trust he's also sued Norway, the Cayman Islands, and the State of Michigan. All of which have towns named Hell.
tommyrot, I think you should post a picture of your HIDEOUS EYE for us. If you're going to go through partially disfiguring medical procedures, it's only right and appropriate that you share with us. We're your friends, after all.

You're okay with this, yet the Sharpie-d cat is problematic???

He never even applied for the position.
"I'd say this was a dream come true, but I never dared to dream the 'Playhouse' would join Adult Swim's amazing lineup of cool shows!" Reubens said. "Well, maybe I did dream of it a couple of times. OK, it's a dream come true!"
Cool! Of course, I already own them all on DVD, but still, there's an entire generation of stoned college students that desperately need a Word of the Day. Plus they can all go, "Whoa! Dude, that's Morpheus with the Jheri-curls and the chaps! Whoa! It's the Law and Order lady!"
That's good news indeed! I imagine the Cartoon Channel people have wanted to get their hands on it for a long long time.
I wonder if we'll see any behind-the-scenes stuff with Rob Zombie...
In addition to being Mark of the Beast day, it also is the release of Ann Coulter's new book Godless.
Though liberalism rejects the idea of God and reviles people of faith, it bears all the attributes of a religion itself. In Godless, Ann Coulter throws open the doors of the Church of Liberalism, showing us:
* Its sacraments (abortion)
* Its holy writ (Roe v. Wade)
* Its martyrs (from Soviet spy Alger Hiss to cop-killer Mumia Abu Jamal)
* Its clergy (public school teachers)
* Its churches (government schools, where prayer is prohibited but condoms are free)
* Its doctrine of infallibility (as manifest in the "absolute moral authority" of spokesmen from Cindy Sheehan to Max Cleland)
* And its cosmology (in which mankind is an inconsequential accident)
Then, of course, there's the liberal creation myth: Charles Darwin's theory of evolution.
For liberals, evolution is the touchstone that separates the enlightened from the benighted. But Coulter neatly refutes the charade that liberals are rationalists guided by the ideals of free inquiry and the scientific method. She exposes the essential truth about Darwinian evolution that liberals refuse to confront: it is bogus science.
