Oh, my God, is anybody else watching the Kosho championships on Village Channel 3?  Number 6 is dominating!

I’m not sure what that one fellow is doing digging around in 6’s locker, but it’s all terribly exciting, don’t you think?

Be seeing you!

These Things Occur to Me

Media_httpmediatumblr_phglf

Where the hell did Brennan and Dale get the two hotties to be in their shitty rap video? They are morons. They couldn’t even figure out how to interview for a job, and somehow they convinced a couple girls to be in their music video? A video that for some reason actually includes footage of the boat crashing because they apparently don’t know how video editing works even though there are several edits in the video before then? Also, why does it switch to a different angle when the boat crashes? Who’s operating the camera? What the fuck is going on in this fucking scene? Nothing makes sense!

Even jokes need to have some sort of internal logic.

I have now guaranteed that you will think of me the next time you watch Step Brothers. Sorry about that.

No More Memes (This Is Not a Meme)

I am not going to be posting any:

  • Photos of requested body parts.
  • Boring-ass quizzes that I never read anyway.
  • Feet Up Fridays, SSTs, Truthful Tuesdays.
  • Any similar bullshit.

I’m bored with it all. It’s boring. I’m the one writing this blog, not you, and I’m the one who decides what goes on it.

I admit, I got a little carried away with all of that crap for a while there, but no more.

This is not a meme. Nobody has to do shit with it.

Breaking the Habit

I have been trying my damnedest to avoid putting two spaces after a period since I read a very well-written rant article about it. I learned how to type on an actual typewriter, and one thing that was drilled into me very early is that you always, always, always put two spaces after a full stop, and I have been applying this rule inflexibly in my writing every since.

However, it turns out that the tyography industry changed in the meantime, and that modern methods of typing are more sophisticated than my clunky old electric typewriter, meaning that the two spaces are no longer necessary for readers to understand that a full stop has just taken place. I had never heard from anybody that the two-space thing was now old-fashioned and out of vogue and practiced only by moldy-olders who refused to change with the times. I just thought that it was the way things were.

So, pardon me my ignorance and adherence to this old-timey typographical rule for the last several thousand pages of blogging I’ve perpetrated here and in other forums throughout the years. I just learned that I was doing it wrong all this time, and now I have to retrain my fingers to get it right and not appear for the whole world to be some sort of Victorian time-traveler.

Bear with me: I will screw up now and again, but I am committed to providing you, my dear followers, with only the most up-to-date typography. I would hate to waste your valuable time by forcing your eyes to traverse all of those vast wastelands of empty space.

Best of BUFFY?

Devin Faraci of Badass Digest has written an article about his favorite 13 Buffy the Vampire Slayer episodes, and while it is by no means a perfect list (I have my own favorites, and while a few do match up, he left off a lot of classic shit—but that’s an argument for another time), it is an interesting read.

Just reading the list caused my eyes to moisten up a couple times.  I’ll admit it: I love this show with a big, dopey, hysterical love.  Buffy, Willow, Xander, Giles: those people feel like my best friends.  It saddens me beyond measure that, with a cynical fucking mercenary reboot on the horizon, we’ll never get to see those actors as those characters ever again (which I think is mainly Sarah Michelle Gellar’s fault, that little bitch).

Go read Devin’s picks for best-of.  It’s a nice little nostalgic trip through one of the best television series ever created.
