…’til Daddy takes the T-bird away.

Take one ocean, fill it with all sorts of organic matter and soluble minerals, add one giant storm, equals a beach covered in foam. Not a little, a lot – a wall of it, several feet high and washed up the beach to nearby buildings, just outside of Sydny, Australia.

Oh, it looks like fun, but probably smells like ass. Salty ass.

An Important Question.

	Kirstie Alley
	Robin Curtis
	Who the frak is Saavik?

For reference…Kirstie Alley as Saavik:

And Robin Curtis:

Bandwagon Tailgating: Immortal Iron Fist

Bandwagon Tailgating: Immortal Iron Fist

Aug 29

You’re reading Immortal Iron Fist, right?

You’ve obeyed the glow-ass reviews from every comics weblog on God’s green earth?

Because it is, in fact, a VERY AWESOME TITLE. It’s just about the ideal marriage of the gifts of Ed Brubaker, Matt Fraction, and David Aja. Clever page layouts, wacky kung fu, and sharp characterizations. I don’t know what more you could want from a comic book.

Oh, you also want a dude getting kicked through a train? Okay.

First six issues are out in hardcover, and a trade is on the way. In the words of nobody but me, BUY THIS NOW.

This popped up in the comments of a post from about four months ago. I don’t know what to do with it in my brain. It’s resisting inclusion in my synapses, like a scalpel jammed into my ear.

Many Nerds won’t be returning. Some old timers I remember from last year, people like
Trenchcoat Mafia, Silk Dragon Shirt, probably won’t be coming back next year.
Spamming blogs I put their names up, immortalizing them, if only until the blog owner
erases everything::::
1. Trenchcoat Mafia
2. Silk Dragon Shirt
3. The Distinguished English Gentleman
4. Beta Nerd, and of course
5. Rosie The Transsexual
Rosie’s original name was just Rosie, due to his rosie cheeks. They shared he has a high
level of knowledge, a tactic the gods employ to create a false sense of security. This of
course is the segment which they dump so many transsexuals into.
I too enjoy irony, and therefore Rosie has now become Rosie The Transsexual.
Who else has a nickname in the NerdRoom?

I’d like to remind you many of the people in the NerdRoom are good men. I hope this is
reflected in what they are allowed to learn and the progress they’re allowed to make.
I’d also like to remind you their predecessors, REAL nerds from a generation ago who fill
the computer swap meet, are WONDERFUL men, and since I likely won’t be going again I want
to remember them as well.

Actually the comparison of the two is a testiment to the devolution of society which will
be used as justification for the Apocalypse:::
Today’s nerds are NOT wonderful men. They grew up with the internet and many consider
pornography as an acceptable vice. They gamble freely, enjoy evil imagry in video games
and engage in sexual pursuits their predicessors never did.
This issue is a microcosim of our deterioration.

Between listening to the Big Finish radio plays and sharing the new series of Dr. Who with my nieces (not to mention catching up on Torchwood, myself) I’m on a bit of a Whovian kick. This lead me to stumble upon this little YouTube nugget;
