    Oblivion

    And the dim, red lights hurt my eyes. Plus, I'm tired of passing doors because they look just like the disgusting rocks in there. Why couldn't there have been an icy Oblivion pocket dimension. Or, for the full Star Wars effect...a frost Oblivion, a desert Oblivion, a swamp Oblivion and a forest...

    Question of the Day

    I play basketball every week with my co-workers...loads of fun. I'm surprised that wasn't one of your sports, Darth, being from Kentucky, land of Wildcats and Cardinals :basketbal I think Ping-Pong could be construed as a sport. Helluva lot more exercise going on there than in a Spelling-Bee...

    How 'bout dem terrorists?

    Y'know, it's kinda funny, but before 9/11, I used to go to the airport 2-3 hours early anyway just so I wouldn't feel rushed during the whole boarding process. Also, this gave me a chance to grab a beer and get deep into a book before even getting on. I guess what's mostly disturbing about...

    Question of the Day

    Hmmmm...maybe I'm wrong. My "midichlorian" level seems to be pretty normal. Oh well, that explains why I only imagine having superhuman powers.

    Question of the Day

    Hey, Venture Bros. is fantastic! The episode last Sunday: "Brock's discovery of a lost videotape from Jonas Venture Sr. sends the team across the globe to find four vital components needed to save the world. Now all they have to do is overcome a strung-out Jonny Quest (living in a...

    How do you get rid of old books?

    If you have the time, you may be able to set up a table at a public college or university or just some open public space (check with the school or municipality first...different rules may apply). Just set some cheap prices, and you should get rid of a few. I used to run the book sale for the...

    I may be shot for this.........Remember the days?

    Of course, the original medium of Looney Tunes, and many of the Disney Cartoons, were as shorts before films. I think it added to the artistry, complexity and the sheer insanity that became a trademark of the Warner Bros. cartoons. But, they were mostly cartoon shorts. In fact, much of the...

    I may be shot for this.........Remember the days?

    Cartoons corporate controlled now? Geeze, they've been corporate controlled for decades. I was watching a repeat of "Challenge of the Superfriends" (the show where the Justice League and their ethnically appealing friends took on the Legion of Doom) and I remember loving it as a kid. Watch it...

    Is Sony killing itself?

    The FCC and the Congress have specified when the changeover to digital will occur already: Analog TV broadcast switch-off: In December 2005, the Senate passed a budget bill that calls for over-the-air television stations to cease their analog broadcasts by February 17, 2009. After that date...

    Question of the Day

    I thought 92.3 is now called "Free FM"? They play rock in the afternoons and evenings as far as I can tell, with that weird hybrid broadcast with their XM broadcast from Opie and Anthony in the mornings. I don't listen to the radio much these days, and mostly then I listen to AM station 1010...

    Is Sony killing itself?

    Well, I think all big tech companies have to be a bit cocky, but in the case of Sony, the Blu-Ray technology is their own proprietary format. They, of course, already knew that it was going to be inordinately expensive, so it could still be argued that Sony was being a little arrogant. However...

    In Anvil on the West Coast, there's a quest to own a nobleman's house. You'll need about 5000 in gold to get started on it as well.

    Is Sony killing itself?

    Heh...I actually weighed in on this in another thread under the Sony forum. It's definitely the "hot button" topic among gamers this summer. The analogy with luxury auto makers is fairly apt. What has the bigger market share after all: Humvee or the Honda Civic? The only difference is that...
