Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

Me too.

Because books.

I like the news about Biology Boy, Allyson. Less so about the Sam news, but it's still out there!

Does anyone need a girl's 3T jacket and snowpants? Very cute, gently used. I'm thinking Olivia is probably covered for the winter, unless Cash wants it, and Matilda probably doesn't need anything that heavy. Any others? I have a 4T Columbia jacket to send Liv for next year, though.

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

Tilda Swinton Would 'Absolutely' Play Conan (PHOTOS)

When Conan O'Brien taped his last show on Friday, he only had two requests: 1) For his audience to work hard and be kind and 2) For HBO to cast Tilda Swinton to play him in the made-for-TV movie about the late-night fiasco.

He flashed this image to prove that they look alike:

Well, now Tilda has responded. When speaking to Movieline about her film at Sundance, she said, "I would just be only too happy [to play him.] Yes, yes, yes, absolutely." The two do share several characteristics: Pale skin, red hair, lithe bodies, attractiveness. "Every girl should have a doppleganger," she said. We agree.

Oh dear. I think the war we've all been fearing has arrived.

And we used to be afraid dogs and cats would live together....

Glad to read the parapro love cause that's what my mom does...her teacher's kinda checked out this year, though.She feels bad about it. Cash, tell them STFU(I know'10 is just a baby year, but I still think one of my favorite TV moments is gonna be Grayson introducing that acronym to Tweety Matthews. Because it took him forever to get mostly. You'd think he'd be familiar with that one, wouldn't you?)

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Court Upholds Prison Ban of Dungeons & Dragons:

Prison officials said they banned the game at the recommendation of the prison’s specialist in gangs, who said it could lead to gang behavior and fantasies about escape.

The game could “foster an inmate’s obsession with escaping from the real-life correctional environment, fostering hostility, violence and escape behavior,” prison officials said in court. That could make it more difficult to rehabilitate prisoners and could endanger public safety, they said.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

The game could “foster an inmate’s obsession with escaping from the real-life correctional environment, fostering hostility, violence and escape behavior,” prison officials said in court.

Yeah, without D&D the inmates will be all, "This isn't quite optimal, but I guess I'll linger quietly for a bit."

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Tilda Swinton Would 'Absolutely' Play Conan (PHOTOS)

Oh, that Conan. I thought, initially, that she'd play the same Conan that Jason Momoa is playing.

She's good. She's not that good.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

See, the prison officials are thinking about it all wrong. What they should do is make prison a big, giant LARP. Assign characters on their way in, they get character points for doing good things, lose karma points for doing bad things, and if they want to shank a motherfucker, they gotta roll initiative with a -20.
