My friends, today we are gathered to mourn the death of the “I Drink Your Milkshake” gag line. Every joke has its own lifetime. I remember when I was a young boy and “take my wife… please” coughed its last spastic breath. We never quite get over this experience, and some of us (like Mike […]

Now I know everybody has a geek hard-on from seeing those pictures of Ray Park dressed up as Snake-Eyes for the new live-action G.I. Joe movie coming out next year.

I’ve gotten maybe a dozen emails over the course of the last week from people asking me to weigh in on all the kerfuffle happening over and in regards to Livejournal, which recently has decided to abandon the basic “free” accounts in favour of the “plus” accounts which have web advertisements on them, and has […]
