Hrmm, the darn things jammed again

Is it powered by the PS2's laser technology?

I can personally attest to this, having been the "priest" that "married" Mitch Beiro and Minerva Mink. The entire thing was a send-up from start to finish, an hour-long string of jokes, rotten puns, and skits including a faux duel. No one who watched it could possibly have thought it was serious --...

Hmm. Interesting stories. A couple of books I've read focus on this problem: Speak by Laurie Halse Anderson; The Chocolate War by Robert Collier; and Beyond the Chocalte war, also by Robert Collier. They're all excellent reads. In other news, there's been an article about parents complaining about t...

Strangewulf pretty much nailed down my opinion on Better Days. I still feel compelled to see what happens next, but I'm probably just a desensitized glutton for punishment that way. :-? Sound like Niven. I think it's Niven, anyway... Wikipedia seems to be down, so I can't look it up there... Which N...

Wow, Ralph, I guess reliable people are rarer than uncooked meat.

Umm, you might want to put that in the second category. Just a heads up.

Lately I've been wondering about just what kind of shape the furry fandom is in. I just finished reading the Crush Yiff Destroy archives because I thought they would be funny, but now I'm pretty depressed. It's depressing that there's so much crap on the net, depressing that I can still be shocked e...

I think I've found another conservative webcomic that might appeal to me: http://www.jaynaylor.com/betterdays/ Then again, I'm not entirely sure about the comic's content. To be honest, I learned about this strip through Crush Yiff Destroy (I read it to laugh at the exaggerated articles. I prefer to...

I'm not saying that public school isn't completely enjoyable, just that mine has some problems that could potentially be avoided with homeschooling. This is mainly qualifying a rant Ralph posted in his Livejournal a few years back. I agree that we need to take a good, hard look at the funding and st...

Now, I don't agree with Ralph on abolutely everything. Who does? But the guy does have a point about the state of public schools. I've been sifting through his LiveJournal and found a rant defending home-schooling and raising it above public schools. Now I consider myself a very lucky guy, and I hav...

Okay, I know it's been a while, but I've done a lot of thinking on about this. Firstly, I finally picked up 'Unintended Consequences,' and it's awesome. I am a bit put off by the excessive foreshadowing, not to mention the pace of the book (kind of slow, the main conflict of the book is barely even ...

Of course one could save a lot of money and not play video games :twisted: Chess, reversi, backgammon, scrabble, dominoes, apples to apples, trivial pursuit, bridge, poker, mah jongg, boggle, cosmic wimp out, balderdash, etc. - never had 'em break. :D You just can't get the same lightshow out of Mo...

I am supremely annoyed by the PS3's high price. My current PS2 has just died in the middle of Kingdom Hearts II, thanks to my brother disassembling it. He SAYS it's broken, despite the fact that I could get it to play KH2 before he broke the thing himself. I'm torn between simply getting a new PS2 o...

Ah yes, the silver-tongued salesman. What would a story be without one? The plushies are a good idea, as long as the comic doesn't suffer as a result. *coughGarfield!* You never heard of the minions of Meeko? For a Disney bit player he sure has a lot of fans. Of course I suspect some of their intent...

Quite simply, Doink, I read books to RELAX, not to be challenged to think. I get quite enough of that in my writing, and before that in my military career. I read books to be amused and entertained, and thinking doesn't entertain me, it's something that DENIES me entertainment. I blame my English c...

Not to say that those who enjoy such tales shouldn't read them as they wish, but the condescending and superior manner in which you have answered those who's tastes don't match yours, Doink, led me to post. I'd like to apologize to anyone I've offended or insulted in this thread. The reason I start...

Squeaky Bunny wrote:I strongly suspect that he had smoked some of those leaves before writing the book.

Actually:

Wikipedia wrote:The pages of a book are often called the "leaves" of a book, thus making the actual book a house of leaves.

But your explaination make just as much, if not more, sense.

Faris watched Ayshe dash out of the kitchen and stared at the doorway for a few seconds. Somehow she doubted that the day-to-day runnings of the Destiny's Whim could grab Ayshe's attention that much. She shrugged, then turned to the bread Ayshe had helped prepare. A few small sniffs confirmed that i...

No what sort of censorship the far-left CLAIM the Bush administration is using, I doubt it's as bad as this: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/low/world/asia-pacific/4761301.stm I suppose it's a good thing that the Chinese are at least getting SOMETHING, but it's still pretty pathetic that the All-Powerful Go...

Don't be intimidated by what you see if you flip ahead. House of Leaves actually starts out fairly simple, in a linear fashion with few footnotes, in order to ease you into its particular style. By the time the text starts getting screwy, you'll hopefully have some clue how to read it. But, why? If...

Greystar turns and sees the discarded Faris and Ayshe doll. His eyes practically pop with shock. "Oh my gosh! Faris! You're dead!" He picks up the Ayshe doll and stares it down. "What did you do to her?" "I'm right behind you, pinhead." "Faris! I'm so happy to see you!" "That's unusual." (sarcasm)
