Oh man, I almost forgot to mention the official unveiling of GWAR-B-Q Sauce, the only thing that could give Explosion Sauce a run for its money in the "Most Metal Sauce" category. Granted, one could argue that the Most Metal Sauce would contain actual metal, but blood is pretty damn metal as well.

could someone please send me a reminder about the open thread over the weekend? i'm so used to checking out the site over the week that I never bother to look on the weekend. you better let me into your damned club. this better not be a No Boogers club.

@Dudley_Dawson Considering that we've done this for four straight weeks now, all at the same time (I believe), I don't think a reminder is necessary for what is now a regular feature. You'll just have to train yourself to reminder it on your own. If it helps, for $25 I can provide a good training montage.

Is this a hundred-plus comment thread about putting your clocks forward an hour?

@OneMinuteGalactica Eh. I'm just bored on weekends. My only clocks are connected to the internets and all change themselves. So I post just to entertain myself.

Also, if we're still talking about Oz & its adaptations, I'd like to give a shout out to Xamag's Black Brick Road comic, which is still in its relative infancy & still covers the basics of the story, but still looks to feature some unique twists & has some really eye-popping art, as evidenced here with my favorite strip so far. So yeah, check it out!

Yeah, but you are aware there's a thing called a commercial, and on the commercials they try to sell stuff.............

@arivalscientist @Gallen_Dugall okay, I assumed it was just my lack of context but I guess I just don't get it then. Not overly surprising since I don't get most "humor" now a days.

Look, I can understand if you just didn't find the sketch funny, but first you say it's because it's a commercial parody and you don't watch commercials.......then you say you couldn't understand the context (that they explained in the 1st minute of the sketch)...........c'mon now, it's just a comedy sketch........so kick back, relax and enjoy some Monica & Chandler champagne and enjoy the bubbles :-)

@arivalscientist @Gallen_Dugall I thought this was a specific parody? Without the context for this product and who these people are supposed to be portraying it is just kinda goofy. Humor is very context sensitive.

The Mary Sue has some video about pancakes that are supposed to resemble Jake and Finn - I'm not seeing it, and since I'm banned from posting there I'll post here instead with a link
2 Like
@Gallen_Dugall I noticed Jake right away, but I don't even think that's Finn alongside him. I think the writer just made an error & assumed it was Finn.
Also, that is some f***ing awesome stuff right there, even without the bacon. Like, that is pretty close to poetry in motion, & even art. Even more so due to the inclusion of pancakes, an AT favorite & nature's divine food.

@Gallen_Dugall Its not actually Jake, but the woman who the cook is chatting with's husband. Also, how did you get banned from a internet blog? Just based on some of the hijinks we all get up to around here, that must have been quite an achievement.

@James.k.Polk @Gallen_DugallIt's an abstract collage of pop, mainstream and counter culture from the '60s and '70s in the same vein as the Billy Joel "We Didn't Start the Fire" but with better lyrics like "I shouted out "free the expo '67!" until they stepped on my hair, and they told me I was fat."

Stupid time change. Was supposed to 'save energy' and it does nothing of the sort. All it does is keep us peasantry off balance twice a year.
Got called into work after working an unexpected 12 hour shift. Now I got to work graveyard shift and I have only about 5 hours of sleep coming to me. Luckily the graveyard shift won't be as long, but still sucks.
Watching X-Men: TAS, all the Cable, Bishop, Nightcrawler episodes. Too bad Bishop in the comics was never as cool as the one in the cartoon.
Also the new Kavinsky album "OutRun" is amazing. Has a very Brad Fiedel "Terminator" score feel to it.

Wonderful start to the weekend on Friday. Some unknown douchewad broke the rear window of my brother's car. He found out about it right before he had to go to work that night. We just got back from getting it fixed and it only cost a $100 deductible thanks to insurance, but we really didn't need that right now. If I ever find the punk who did it I'm going to tie them down in a cage full of monkeys I've just force fed a bunch of chili and Ex-Lax.
Other than that, theres supposed to be a good comet show next week.

@skrag2112 I had two windows shattered on my AMC Gremlin when I was in college. Home team beat UNLV at basketball and my car was sitting in the parking lot with snow on it, and I guess that the revelers thought it was abandoned.
My dad was good with cars and got the replacement windows at a salvage yard.
The price? I had to accompany him to a sleazy naked woman bar in a bad part of town.
