Brainiac Five normally does not have the patience to dabble in events of mere fisticuffsmanship, but, to show willing, he is participating. He also kindly requests that people stop bothering him about this now. Bahlactus makes you dizzy like the twister made Dorothy, if you think you can beat him you in the minority.

Today, it seems, is Blog Day, wherein if you have a blog you are supposed to recommend five blogs that you think people should read. Of course, this is kind of the point of a blogroll in the first place, and I heartily endorse every blog on that right-side toolbar as being an entertaining and/or […]

This week: “A Common Disaster” by the Cowboy Junkies. However, since the original video is here and Universal Music Group in their wisdom have decided that the video should not be embeddable (because allowing fans to generate free publicity for you is such a bad thing you know), I instead offer up a live performance […]

On the right: Cal Thomas! Perhaps there will not always be an England. An exodus unprecedented in modern times, coupled with a record influx of foreigners, is threatening to erode the character of the land of William Shakespeare and overpowering monarchs, a land that served as the cradle for much of American thought, law and […]

Somebody once told me, “if you want to make a good action movie, get an American to direct. If you want a good comedy, you get an Englishman. And if you want a good war movie, you get a German.” On that note: Die Fälscher (The Counterfeiters) is quite possibly the best World War II […]

This week, we feature delicious papaya juice. Papaya juice is, like most sweet juices, considered to be an aphrodisiac in certain parts of the world. It’s also excellent for tenderizing meat as a marinade, and of course papaya juice is a source of not only vitamin C and E but also beta-carotene. However, the most […]

It’s more or less common knowledge that the comics industry is, to an extent, floundering of late. Marvel’s sales, while steadier than they have been in recent years (for all I made fun of Civil War, it’s impossible to argue that it didn’t boost sales across the line and prop up multiple previously marginal titles […]

Namely, that of man versus Jeep. Long has mankind striven against the Jeep, his foe as ordained by Nature… Don’t understand? Bahlactus beckons.

Yes, Men Without Hats were Canadian. And I unreservedly love both this song and this video for their sheer innocence. A spritely, unabashedly cheerful and happy song, combined with a video that has a baby playing keyboard, a snowman on drums, an Elvis impersonator, the Representatives Of The Children of the World, and superimposed sound […]

Comics Should Be Good! is doing a meta-poll about “your favorite characters“, which should be amusing, especially if people manage to actually do their favorites and not just pick Batman and Superman because they’re Important Comic Characters. However, this is very telling: Regarding Legion of Superheroes characters, please specify which version you mean (pre-Zero Hour, […]
