  1. I read that, only it was called "The Guns of August". I think it won an award. Regardless of which book, the events of 100 years ago really force me to question my faith in humanity. Absolutely no one came out of that looking good, and it doesn't help that they went right back for a second round twenty years later.
  2. Really not a good week to be an aircraft.
  3. Which retcon are we talking about? Anyway of all the different versions of the film I prefer the director's cut, the one without the narration and with the unicorn.
  4. The five-replicants thing is a studio oversight--there was another replicant cast but her scenes were written out. In some versions of the movie "five" is sloppily overdubbed to "four". Deckard, though,
  5. I know we're not doing the alliterative "Nouns & Nouns" title format, but we go with the WoD style instead. Hero: The Fantasizing Champions: The Legendary Mythic: The Heroism And so on.
  6. I think I had a character resurrected once or twice back when AD&Dv1 was state of the art, but since then, dead is dead.
  7. You don't think Beyonce and Jay-Z breaking up is important?
  8. Ran across a little of that. Musketeers seemed a little older than I'm used to, but production values were pretty good at least. Managed to catch most of Django Unchained on cable over a couple of nights. Definitely a Tarantino film, but less Tarantino than some.
  9. As if public transportation didn't provide plenty of its own reasons for rage.
  10. Jumped off a rock this weekend. It was more frightening than I expected.
  11. "Dad?" "Yes?" "Knock knock." "Who's there?" "I thought you said you would remember me!"
  12. "Dad?" "Yes?" "Will you remember me in a thousand years?" "Of course." "Thanks Dad."
  13. Yes, but the parking enforcement officers are eeeeeevil.
  14. BASIC, Fortran, Pascal, COBOL, C, C++, Java, Scheme, Prolog, Motorola 68k assembly, PHP/MySQL, HTTP/CSS, Bash/sed/awk, all very very badly.
  15. Laser-guided Copperheads were actually employed in limited numbers in both Iraq wars.
  16. Where do you suppose the thrust comes from?
