"Kids today and their Monster Fucking. In the Good Old Days, decent people would have never put up with that!" (Meanwhile in 1947, Danny Kaye starts another day at Monster Fuckers Inc. in the family comedy "The Secret Life of Walter Mitty.")

Career expectation versus reality.

Con vibes. (I was at Canfurence 8.) That is all.

The time I explored an abandoned house and found it had been made up to look like the lair of a paranoid conspiracy theorist for a stoner comedy. The most surreal part was finding a script and opening to the page that described the room I was in.

While I'm all for closing marine parks, it's pretty clear the Orcas we released are telling all the free Orcas how badly we treated them.

How was your weekend?

The time I made fake album covers and people thought they were real and spent days looking them up even though they knew the woman on the cover.

Casting Choices

While in the depths of insomnia I've been listening to an audiobook of Foundation and Empire. I decided that Magnifico Giganticus would ideally be played by Doug Jones. Naturally. But failing that, he should be played by 1990s Roberto Benigni. Anytime the other characters are soberly discussing the sociopolitical ramifications of psycho-history or the Seldon Plan, Benigni would be in the background struggling to perform some basic task. When they turn to look at him he's, like, sheepishly eating soup from a hat or some other ridiculous shit.

In the beginning, Furry and North American Anime Fandom were one. And then the Great Schism occurred...

Ultima VI came out in 1990. On some level, I still regard the hero’s entertainment set-up as extremely sleek and cutting edge.

Correlate, tabulate, process and screen Program, printout, regress to the mean And it's Ho, boys, can't you code it, and program it right Nothing ever happens in the life of mine I'm hauling up the data on the Xerox line

What, already?

Do you know how far in the future this seemed when I started playing Shadowrun in 1989?
