Lazy Sunday So so awesome. Those new guys they brought in this year like Andy Samberg are definitely raising the bar for some of the more established players. Hiring the Lonely Island guys was one of the best moves SNL's made in a long time. "Pass the Chronic WHAT? -Cles of Narnia!"

The stupid Mega Millions lottery website doesn't update fast enough! I've got 60 tickets here from our office pool and I've gotta know if we won. Anyone have tonight's numbers handy? First person to say "4 8 15 16 23 42" gets a smacking :lol:

My girlfriend just bought a 4 month-old Canadian/Percheron/Standardbred mix and we don't know what to name him. Here's some pics:

Like a good Star Wars geek, I'll be picking up my copy of the RotS DVD this coming Tuesday, just as soon as I knock off work. I'd get it sooner if it weren't for my dang job. But I need the work to support my Star Wars habit! It's a vicious cycle, I know. Anyway, Wednesday I start my 11 day...

Let's say you can only have one or the other for your character. Which do you go with? For me, I know Fireball has it all over Lightning Bolt in sheer game mechanics (20' spread and 400'+ range vs. 120' range line), but stylistically I dig the thunderbolt. Something very primal about it, the...

I think I'm going to shave my prodigious beard down to a goatee, scrounge up an eyepatch, and become Evil Max. Maybe draw a nice big scar on my face too. Lazy? You bet. Then again, I used to win prizes for my Hawaii Tourist costume years ago, and that was just shorts, a Hawaiian shirt and a...

Don't know if anyone saw this at AICN today, but check this out: https://www.thehansofoundation.org (notice the https) If you want to be spared the hassle, the link sends you to an unformatted HTML document that just says "bigspaceship1.com". So type that into your browser, and watch the...

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.

There's a new preview up at the insanely Flash-enhanced site www.oceanicflight815.com. You need to click on the explore button, click on "The Hatch", and then click on the dots that appear in a certain order. You get a weird little preview involving the hatch o' doom that appears to take place...

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...

Orkut. For those who don't know, it's Google's new personal networking site, a la Friendster and Myspace. Like Gmail, it's an invite-only service for the time being. So anyone got an invite they can throw to the TW (email: maxgerry AT gmail DOT com)? And if you've used it, is it nice? I'm...

The weekend after next (starting Friday, 7/22) I'm offered with two different options on what to do, and I can only choose one: 1) Go up to Lake Tahoe and stay in a phat condo with my family, or 2) Go to my 10-year high school reunion on Saturday the 23rd. As I'd be travelling on Friday with my...

My girlfriend was telling me that there's a group of goth-like people who apparently believe they are wolves. They have meetings and howl-ins and go around in packs and other such fun. They even go so far as to walk around on tip-toes. She said that she heard they were called ferions or therions...

Pit bull holocaust in Denver Will somebody from Denver please tell me if this is for real? They can't possibly be going door to door and rounding up people's innocent pets, can they? I gotta think there's a subtlety I'm missing here, perhaps they're only rounding up animals with complaints...

(Hey! What this forum needs is a Star Wars thread!) Let's say George Lucas went bat-guano-crazy and decided to remake the original trilogy. Who do you think he should cast in the lead roles? Here's my fantasy breakdown: Luke = Nick Stahl Han = Josh Holloway (Sawyer from Lost) Leia = Katie...

AKA Efren Ramirez and Aaron Ruell. They were at a special screening of Napoleon Dynamite put on by St. Mary's College in Moraga at the Rheem Theater. Two huge sold out shows with a Q&A afterwards. I got in line to ask a good question but all these little 13-year-olds were in front of me and...

(I'm putting this here as this seems to be where general pleas for help go. I didn't want to put it in the Movies and TV forum because it's not about a movie - yet. That said: Mods, feel free to move this if I'm in error.) My friend and I are in pre-production process of making a Star Wars...

I'm trying to set up something in OE 6 where I can auto-forward messages my home account receives during the day to my account at work. I tried fiddling around with the mail rules but I didn't see anything about forwarding messages that are received at a particular time (I only want messages...

Who will bite it by season's end?

I decided on a whim to visit a new game store in town yesterday and saw that they had a shelf of used books. Perusing the shelf, I came across a spine that said "Deities & Demigods". You can imagine what my next thought was. Having been burned in the past, I nonetheless flipped it open just...
