Wow. As I'm not an expert on Pompey Magnus, I did not see that ending coming. It's funny, but at the time I took it for a bit of Hollywoodizing history, as I didn't figure the way he died could have been that cinematic. WRONG. I went on Wikipedia the next day and that's pretty much exactly...

Word. That's the funniest hour on network television right now that doesn't include a show with "Arrested" or "Development" in its title. Earl and his brother backing slowly out of the gay guy's house in the pilot was one of the funniest things I've seen all year. The "Office Olympics"...

KenM, do you have digital cable or a satellite dish? I came to the conclusion a while ago, while looking into Tivo service for my digital cable setup, that it wasn't really mindblowing unless you had DirecTV. You could still pause and rewind, as well as record, but you couldn't do two programs...

I desperately hope this turns into Rome's version of Paulie Walnuts and Christopher being "marooned" in the Pine Barrens on Sopranos. BEST EPISODE EVAR. Was there an ancient Roman equivalent to the ketchup packet these two can fight over?

Pfeh. You got a Monty Haul DM.

It'll be four years this December since my gf and I purchased. I'm still amazed at how we pulled this off, given that we were two 24-year-old kids in the frickin' S.F. BAY AREA (one of, if not THE most expensive locations in the country, for those who don't know) without fancy jobs or anything...

It's a template. I went for the Half-Jewish template at character creation, and frankly, I can't believe my DM let me get away with it! I get double starting gold for being able to celebrate both Christmas and Hanukkah, a free Circumcised feat, and free ranks in Speak: Yiddish and Knowledge...

Nope. Black Oil aliens. Remember when they got stung by all those bees? Just you wait and see.

I just watched that episode a couple nights ago, and Jack says that it would have taken 40 or 50 years (can't remember exactly) for the bodies and clothes to deteriorate as much as they had. As I said, I can't remember exactly how many years he said, but it was a lot longer that the 25 years...

From Lore Sjoberg, the man who gave birth to the Cyborg Name Generator, comes the new Monster Name Decoder at http://monster.namedecoder.com. You know the routine.

Why don't you play them in the Power Ball, see what happens? Just don't hold any press conferences with elderly relatives nearby when you win.

Holy crap, holy crap, holy crap! Google map of the Lost island? Check out those coordinates. http://tinyurl.com/c2hxf

Mmm. Locke-centric? You're soaking in it. I remember reading how the first three eps would take place over the first 24 hours of the hatch's opening, so maybe this will be the completion of that arc, where we'll get to learn everything about it. Yeah right.

...it's still under warranty.

I got another idea. Everyone keeps saying they'd go back in time with stock tips or football scores, but I'd go forward in time a couple decades and bring along a tank of clean air, a few bottles of water and a couple gallons of unleaded and live like a king. Because I'm a nice guy, I'll let...

I just went on the CA DMV website to see what kind of D&D-themed personalized plates i could come up with (fulfilling the Hopelessly Nerdy Pastime requirement for my day). I was bummed to find that ROLL 3D6 was taken, but was surprised no one has NATRL20. May have to yoink that one. Or ALYRBSE.

Paradox, shmaradox. I'd bring a sniper rifle and take care of some personal business. I put my Time Machine Murder List together a long time ago. Hitler? DEAD! Stalin? DEAD! Lee Harvey Oswald? DEAD! James Earl Ray? DEAD! Cortez? DEAD! Joe McCarthy? DEAD! John Wilkes Booth? DEAD! Mark...

I envy you, Flexor. Nothing like seeing those episodes with new eyes. I'm going back now and re-watching the first season in between new episodes, but it's not the same as the first time through. At least you don't have to wait a week in between fixes like we all did! Without spoiling...

I'm all for Cargo Cultists myself. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cargo_cult

It could have been quite a bit longer than a year. I figured they were going out of their way to place it further in the past by giving Jack that goofy wig. I got the feeling (ballparking it here) that it was more like 3 or 4 years. That would allow time for her physical therapy, their...
