This is making the nerd web site circles I haunt and it make me laugh so I thought I would pass it along. Star Wars, (Retold By Someone Who Has Never Seen It) Star Wars: Retold (by someone who hasn’t seen it) from Joe Nicolosi on Vimeo.

Stealing Brownies

Thursday, January 15th, 2009

Apparently stealing Brownies is illegal, who knew? Not that I would have any knowledge directly on this topic. I still have no recollection of any plate of Mrs. C’s excellent brownies going missing at an alleged game night many years ago.

Witness Against Him Too Good. Let Him Go.

Tuesday, January 13th, 2009

Judge James Tabor, QC, told the 35-year-old mother of two that she was “honest, utterly decent and brave” but her “impressive” performance in the witness box could sway the jury unfairly. Just when I think I have the world figured out you see a story like this one. An eyewitness is too credible, so they [...]

Summer of Fear 2009: The Panda?

Tuesday, January 13th, 2009

Apparently the panda has decided to throw their hat into the ring for the 2009 Summer of Fear contest. Their initial entry is a bit weak, a panda bit some guy on the leg when the idiot jumped into the panda enclosesure, but it is a start and we will be watching anxiously to see [...]

I would suggest a change of tactics for them, attack American’s and there will be much more shrieking and wailing about it in the media which [...]

What Now England?

Friday, January 9th, 2009

Ok, this whole UK squirrel thing is getting out of hand, first they are coloring them, then they are eating them, now they are making them into potato chips? This is getting a bit creepy.

Dungeon and Dragons Comics

Friday, January 9th, 2009

What’s that? You need old school Dungeons and Dragons comics to help you through the day? You are in luck, I have two for you. The first is Rich Morris’s Yet Another Fantasy Game Comic. The story starts with the improbable love story a female goblin and a beholder then ranges all over the classic [...]

Saving England By Eating Squirrels

Wednesday, January 7th, 2009

The English are attempting to save their native red squirrels by eating as many of the invading gray squirrels as they can. God save the Queen but don’t eat the brains. Via A Honey of an Anklet, Thanks!
