True Tales of Internet Search Terms, Part 1 � Miscellany, Part 2,957.


Found this bon mot in my logs and thought the world needed to know that this person is out there, using Google:
if darkseid went around cutting off dicks superheroes would have more reason to fear him
I'm only #5 for this one, by the way. Personally, I'm the sort of fellow that thinks the Omega Effect is quite enough to induce pants-soiling terror, but one presumes it would take more than that to make Batman blink.



The message I get from the below video is: "Buy comics low, sell comics high! Of course there's no bubble!"



Thanks to Brandon Bragg for the, as they say, heads up. Go over to his sight for Armed Gorilla Week, where he one-ups Chris Sims, who only gave us one gorilla with guns.



If someone could tell me more about Buffalo's Woman in White, I'd very much appreciate it. Yes, I have some kind of story idea brewing and Google is failing to give me the details I rather need.



Here's a Scans_Daily link worth following: Gail Simone writing and Kevin Maguire drawing the "true story" of X-Men: The Movie. There's a chuckle or two there.



What's better than picture vinyl? Period picture vinyl with lurid, pulpy images. Seriously - check this out.



I was busy writing last night, so I didn't watch Studio 60. I'd already gotten the DVD with the Pilot from Netflix and I have to say: I like it. A lot. Except for Amanda Peet, who is obviously supposed to be "weird and smart," but instead comes off as being "touched in the head and possibly retarded."

But that could just be me.

I'm not sure what I think of the upcoming also-not-about-SNL-really 30 Rock. On one hand: Tina Fey is wicked hot and Alec Baldwin cracks me up. On the other hand: NBC, 30-minute sitcom. Ugh.

At least Fey cracked me up in this New Yorker article about the synchronous programs"
�We�ll probably end up doing a terrible crossover, where the Matthew Perry character on the drama rapes my character on the comedy�and then the Law & Order team solves the crime.�



To the people that sent me books to review: I'm on it. One of you may be very unhappy with me in the near future, but I'm on it.



It's Talk Like A Pirate Day. My advice is: don't. You're not Johnny Fucking Depp, nor have you likely been raping and/or pillaging lately. (I hope, anyway)

Just read the rather brilliant Scurvy Dogs instead of being rather idiotic and wondering why the bank teller is reaching for that large red button.



Finally, go read a Christian Science Monitor article about the Mythbusters.
