Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Mmmmmmmm, Pattern Recognition...

Mmmm, yes. One of his best, although I'm completely creeped out by the Michelin Man , apparently forever.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

amych, me too! I freaked when I saw an animated Bibendum in a TV commercial the other day. Gah.

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil

Guess what? I was listening to the radio while getting ready for work this morning, and heard something about a news anniversay quiz they were going to be doing and if you wanted to participate, call in. So, I did, and actually got through only to find out I hadn't been listening fully and that it was actually a 9/11 quiz. I decided to participate anyway, and ended up KICKING ASS!! I won a Lobstergram (two live lobsters and the works for eating them, including bibs, butter, and shellcrackers--I just have to cook them), which is worth about $80-100!

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Official, genuine, 100% accurate Stormtrooper armour.

Because now, for the first time ever, you can transform yourself into a genuine Imperial Stormtrooper. And when we say genuine we really mean it. Because almost 30 years after prop-maker Andrew Ainsworth of Shepperton Design Studios created the original iconic white outfit, you can own a ludicrously collectable 1:1 replica, including a helmet that has been made using the original 1976 movie moulds. Yes, the actual moulds! Shepperton have started hand-crafting these Stormtrooper suits for fans to wear or display at home.

Now I totally want to wear a stormtrooper costume on the train, just to see what reactions I get.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Jen P, may your surveylance be utterly uneventful, may it be exactly the opposite of the "last day on the job for the crusty but loveable old detective" surveylance we are so familiar with from every movie ever.

At least nobody would say to you, "Aren't you a little short for a stormtrooper?"

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

tommy, you're still looking at DragonCon-related stuff, aren't you?

I doubt that the guy dressed up as Dr. Venture was actually grumpy -- it seems much more likely that he was in character. I've never seen anyone at DC get grumpy about having their picture taken. If you come to DC in costume, it's kind of a given that people will ask for a picture. And I've also never seen any of the staff be assholes, which is pretty incredible for a con of that size. I would not want to be the security people who had to wrangle 3,000 people for each Firefly and Mythbusters panel.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

I came to work today, even though I didn't really feel that well this morning. Considering that now I'm not sure I feel well enough to drive home, I'm beginning to think this might not fall into the "good idea" category.
