Previously, I linked to John Seavey’s first installment of “How To Save Marvel Comics,” as it was a good thought-provoking read and I think he’s mostly right. Now, I link to parts two and three similarly. Go forth and scan with your eyeballs.

These Are Like Photoshop Popcorn

Posted by MGK Published in Bad Comedy, Here's A Lot Of Photoshops, Photoshopp'd

You can’t do just one of these. EDIT TO ADD: I note that this page has become popular on StumbleUpon, so it would be remiss of me not to point out the inevitable sequel.

It’s Snowing, So You Get This

Posted by MGK Published in Comics, I Should Write The Legion

(Seriously, that’s why I posted this today. It’s been in the “for busy days” bank for a while. And it is snowing and class is cancelled, which means I have a chance to catch up on all my law school reading. Yes, I frequently do update this blog during class, why do you ask?) Once […]

Brief WTF

Posted by MGK Published in Comics, Strippery

I considered not posting this because I honestly don’t want to get a rep for being Scott Kurtz’s personal stalker or anything like that. And before I say anything else, let me say that I thought the strip about Francis blathering about spit was pretty goddamned funny, despite A) being an old gag I’ve seen […]

I Personally Recommend Alcan

Posted by MGK Published in Nothing Else Fit

Most times, I try to avoid donning the tinfoil hat, but all of Iran’s undersea internet cables mysteriously being cut is just too ridiculously conspiratastic not to at least consider the fact that part of the PR problem with the Iraq war has been all those Iraqi bloggers saying over and over “hey, you’re a […]

I Think About This Too Much

Posted by MGK Published in Bad Comedy, Flicks

THE NINE LEVELS OF HELL (AS APPLIED TO UNDERWHELMING THIRD ENTRIES IN MOVIE FRANCHISES) To qualify for this list, a third movie in a trilogy must fit these qualifications: 1.) It must suck. Therefore, Back To The Future III, for example, doesn’t qualify. 2.) It must be a worse movie than its two predecessors. If […]

Endorsement Addendum

Posted by MGK Published in Politics

I don’t know for sure if I’m one of them (although the idea certainly has its attractions), but: fifteen percent of Canadians would give up their right to vote in the next federal election if it meant being able to vote in the current U.S. presidential election. (Via Buzz.)

Just Before Class

Posted by MGK Published in Bad Comedy, Conversations, Law Skool

ME: So I need some new opponents for Scrabulous. Who wants to fall before me? SARAH (ANOTHER LAW STUDENT): Ooh, me! MIKE (ANOTHER LAW STUDENT): You might want to qualify that. SARAH: …at Scrabulous. MIKE: Much better. (A pause.) SARAH: Hah, “dispose.” Seven-letter start! ME: Big deal, you managed a seven-letter word with three vowels, […]

I Always Wanted These When I Was A Kid

Posted by MGK Published in Comics

I would have bought multiple sets given the opportunity. Really. The Army Men they advertised elsewhere would have been even better. Click on thumb for full-sized image.

One Last Time, With Gusto

Posted by MGK Published in Politics

Today, Democrats (and independents, and even a few Republicans) will have the opportunity to vote in primaries for their candidate for President. I’ve already endorsed Barack Obama previously, but that was just a quick one-off of me more or less saying “yes, I like him.” I figured I should be more comprehensive. So. Firstly, I’ve […]

Things I Am Sick Of, Volume Three Thousand One Hundred Seventeen

Posted by MGK Published in Gaming, It's The Youtube, Muzak

Youtube music videos made with World of Warcraft animation. God, just stop, people. There is no possible way to improve the experience of any song by making a World of Warcraft video about it. None. Zero. Zilch. De nada. No, not even that one Jonathan Coulton song you really, really like – you know, the […]
