Unless you happen to be a Nielsen family (who I don't think even track cable), how is Sci-Fi gonna know you're watching? My opinion? If you have access to the DVDs (you own 'em, a buddy owns 'em, or you subscribe to Netflix, etc.) watch it that way. Commercial breaks have never helped a...

Pepperoni. And not just any pepperoni, I'm talking about the little dics that curl up around the edges and make a little bowl for the sweet, sweet grease. Don't get me wrong, I'll take pepperoni any way I can, but this place I go to in Berkeley makes it homemade and it comes out like that. HO...

Ah, another acolyte of Samuel L. Bronkowitz.

I wasn't talking about chemical reactions, although that could certainly have been a casualty of a world with different constants. I was talking Big Picture stuff: stars never coalescing in the first place, or burning out in seconds because the strong nuclear force is too high. I suppose some...

I read or heard or dreamed :) something recently about how different the universe would be if the constants we know and cherish had been a little different, i.e. the speed of light faster or slower by a few thousand MPS, or the strong and weak nuclear forces slightly stronger or weaker...

Eh. She's probably one of those people who thinks everyone who isn't blessed to be her is some kind of filthy drooling moron who has to take off their shoes to count to 20 and thinks a shower is "someone who shows things". In other words, my dream girl. What's her number?

1. Hannibal Lecter. HAL wasn't really evil, just poorly programmed. 2. Darth Vader. Dracula's been through one too many lame iterations. 3. Professor James Moriarty (Sherlock Holmes). Khan couldn't even beat Kirk. 4. The Joker. Joker never ever stops. 5. Galactus. I think Galactus vs...

I was born on a farm in Mendocino, CA in 1977. My parents split up when I was 2-ish. I've never lived in a conventional family, and yet somehow I've never done hard drugs, knocked anyone up, knifed anyone, or gotten into Satanism (although there was that brief flirtation with Cthulhuism in...

I've never heard of Village Inn. Is that a regional thing?

What we need is space-based manufacturing. Instead of building satellites here on Earth and praying to Yahweh they don't blow up on the launch pad or breakdown on their way up into orbit, we could just assemble them in a zero-g lab and kick them out the door into orbit when they're completed...

Not to go off on a tangent here, but WTF? Doesn't your county or state have a Child Protective Service department to handle this kind of thing? I worked for the CPS dept. in my county here for a few months, and social workers did everything. They might have brought a cop along just in case...

Some friends of ours run an animal rescue non-profit organization in Hilmar, CA called Hayflakes Sanctuary (plug!). Right now they are operating on rented land that they will soon be losing, and are looking to purchase a permanent space somewhere here in Northern California. Being an already...

6. Forgettable, kinda silly (They have to be alive and experience things or the organs don't work? Nice try), but far less idiotic than anything else Michael Bay's ever cranked out. Most of my problems with it were about the story, and in the end I think his direction and style actually saved...

They're just now getting around to nailing down specific roles and they expect this thing to be out in less than a year? Hell, I heard some rumors as late as a few weeks ago that they'd pretty much tossed out the old, X2-rehashing lame-o script and we're rebuilding from there. This already is...

"Rock And Roll" by the Velvet Underground Jenny said when she was just five years old You know there's nothing happening at all Every time she puts on the radio There was nothing goin' down at all Then one fine mornin' she puts on a New York station She couldn't believe what she heard at all...

MP3 player? Check. Bottle of Dew? Check. Katana? Check.

You weak, pathetic fool.

Update I decided to go to Tahoe, and hoo boy did I ever choose wisely! Weather was perfect (mid to high 80s at the height of the day), sky was blue, drive was easy, and the condo was POSH. Absolutely no regrets. I heard from a friend who went to the reunion that pretty much none of our...

I don't see a Nurse Ratched either, but are you sure you have "Show Images (including attached images and images in [IMG] code)" checked off under your account options?

What's wrong with it?
