I thought Q-Stone was on the East coast?

Ha ha ha!!!! This is hilarious.

I may have stumbled across the greatest movie synopsis in history.

"A martial arts rock band goes up against a band of motorcycle ninjas who have tightened their grip on Florida's narcotics trade."

No, honestly.

I really, really enjoyed Six String Samurai.

My favourite exchange in the film (not spoilery in terms of plot):

Spoiler:

Mesh-Head: If I were you, I would run.
Buddy: If you were me, you'd be good-lookin'.

My god, am I ever out of it. I didn't realize until seeing it in a magazine I was reading while waiting for a haircut that it's two days until the PS4 hits the streets, and the XBONE shortly afterwards.

This has to be either a Stalinist Russia war epic, a bulimia documentary, or a knockoff of The Hangover.

Ha! I used to go to the Country Cabin Liquors in that town for vodka runs several years ago.

If you were to make a 36-40 inch tall speaker stand for a bookshelf speaker roughly nine inches on a side and weighing 13 pounds, and the stand had to sit on a carpeted floor, and needed to be as unobtrusive and footprint-friendly as possible, what sort of design would you pursue?

We're way overdue for a new haiku thread.

So yeah, just spreading the word about the 2013 Secret Stanta. If you aren't involved and would like to receive gifts from Goodjers hailing from mysterious lands like CLeveLAND or D-troyt, you can find the thread here and sign up.

Awesome retweet by Nail Gaiman:

As a mortician, I always tie the shoelaces together of the dead. Cause if there is ever a zombie apocalypse, it will be hilarious.

I just finished raking leaves with a four inch beard, flannel shirt and a stocking cap on, using a rake that I duct-taped back together.

Next up, hockey with a moose and bad whisky.

Speaking of Canadian headwear, is it "toque" or "took?"

toque but it's pronounced like "tewk."

Canadians are all chefs? Doesn't sound like a viable economy.

Why do you think that the USA has such a weight problem? All that food is made up in Canada, and then falls down across the border.

If you've tried to make your answering machine message funny, cute, and/or clever chances are you've instead succeeded in making it annoying or even downright obnoxious.

How the hell did I end up basically funeral directing for this of all funerals?

I guess if you really want someone put into the ground, you gotta do it yourself.

My wife has a long and illustrious history of creative yelling at the TV while playing videogames. Her most recent outburst (courtesy of LEGO Lord Of The Rings) was:

"Whoopsie - I just exploded my horse"

After a year and a half of 140+ mile commuting, a move to a new town, and trying to get settled in, can I finally catch up with things well enough over the holiday week to return to reading gaming forums beyond a random non-sequitur thread? Time will reveal all...

Also 99 Percent Invisible is a nifty thing you can listen to.
