A few weeks back I blogged on the HPLHS version of Call of Cthulhu. It was sweet, in the way that only the insanely-tainted wine of dead aeons can be; but I neglected to mention that when I ordered CofC on DVD, I also ordered the HPLHS rendering, on CD and done as a radio […]
Pam, among others, noticed that The View’s latest co-host, Sherri Shepherd, doesn’t know whether Earth is round or not.

I Saw Something Awful on Tuesday.
Published by September 20th, 2007 in O, Pine With Me and Why Culture Sucks. 0 CommentsWell, I half-saw it; so maybe it was only half-awful.
As an English major I was painfully aware, sometimes, of how dreadful some stories could be. Directionless and pointless drivel which seemed of interest primarily for historical value, but certainly not for literary quality, was regularly heaved across my palate. I was subjected to the contrast […]
The Seven-Year Mirror: The Noumenon of Me

The speaker in these intercalary passages is Tirra Shujaa, a native Talec man who is trying to grasp how and why he seems so different from his brother Treva, who is his genetic identical twin.
Tirra’s life crosses paths eventually with a […]
Apparently someone rustled up enough cash to take out a hit on Kevin Federline. It’s amazing what the pennies that fall between the couch cushions can accomplish, isn’t it?

Hard to imagine it’s been that long.
Tuesday, 11 September 2001, America got a hell of a wake-up call.

Most of this is lifted directly from a comment I posted at Pam’s place regarding a “youth ministry” that recently offered a “free” Bible to anyone willing to send in five bucks to cover shipping costs.
Guess what?
