Braindump.


  • Most likely, It's "its" that you were wanting to use. Yes, its use is confusing.
  • I hate the word "comix" so very much. Yes, I know that it's historical, etc. I still hate it.
  • I also hate it when someone takes the name of a product and/or service and then changes it to make it "funny" in some vague attempt to prove a point. See: someone whose writing I normally quite enjoy repeatedly referring to the The Boston Glob instead of The Boston Globe.
  • Evangelicals having to be told not to steal music. Ironic's the wrong word here...more "telling."
  • Josh summed up the current state of America in ten words: "My freedom is just fine - it's your freedom I hate!"
  • If you've not previously, do check out Jason Little's awesome comics. Yes, he uses "comix" in the domain name.
  • Trivia != Urban Legend. A real "Comic Book Urban Legend" is something like: John Buscema was once found balls-deep in a dead hooker on Stan Lee's desk, not One of the Pet Shop Boys was a Marvel editor.
  • Speaking of Pet Shop Boys, some people make my interest seem positively academic and detached.
  • Speaking of Pet Shop Boys fans, I'm glad I don't read the forums. I occasionally dive in for some gossip but come out covered in strange goo that smells of almonds and citrus.
  • By the way, it's not the Pet Shop Boys unless you're referring to the members themselves.
  • Yes, I am very pedantic. I also correctly capitalized and punctuated each of their song titles in my iPod, example: "I wouldn't normally do this kind of thing."
  • However, I would like to kill the people who don't enter complete song titles into CDDB. I would use a hammer to do this. "Ur" is not "Your," asshats. (Yes their there are bands that mispell misspell these words deliberately. Rarely do I listen to them.)
  • Also, I'm going to see Pet Shop Boys on Friday, and I am quite excited. There are some good photos from this tour on Flickr. Here is one of Chris Lowe. Here are two of Neil Tennant.
  • Yes, I like girls. No, I don't think you're funny when you ask.
  • Best PowerPoint Presentation ever.
  • This is my favorite Batman picture of the moment.
  • This is my favorite Superman-related picture, for entirely different reasons.
