huh. How many degrees is James Franco getting simultaneously? Because The Poetry Foundation seems to be implying that he's getting an MFA from Warren Wilson (get offa my lawn, Franco)... and I swore I read something about him doing a film masters' while he's studying at Yale. Is there more than one James Franco? And more importantly, does he have Joe's teleporter?
Nice acronym, Mom!

Because books.
Franco's at NYU, I'm pretty sure.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
My entire exposure to Angry Birds is watching Noah play it, so it's basically Greek to me (although he did his wee darndest to explain it to us slow big people). This article explaining its allure is even more incomprehensible. The birds are angry, I guess, but there are pigs? Who knew?

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

It's explained in the opening animation. Which I guess you haven't seen. But the pigs are green. How could you miss that? Plus they laugh when you fail a level. Little green bastard egg-stealing pigs.
I think that's Angry Birds' appeal. You have to keep playing to get even after the pigs laugh.

Duh there are pigs, ita! The pigs stole the birds' eggs, that's why they're building protections, and why the birds are launching themselves at the pigs! ;)

Noah did not show me the opening animation. Kat, can you have a word?
Also, I'm not going anywhere near that game. You people sound crazy.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

I read something about him doing both. No idea how.
I love the sounds the birds make. Especially when the red birds say "ouch." Makes me giggle.

It is kind of... odd, when you think about it. The angry birds are essentially suicide bombers. And why do they need that catapult to launch themselves? They're birds, for fuck's sake.
