I just tried to pronounce "totally maximally levelled-up" in my best faux-Chinese accent, and my tongue exploded.

Looks like it's quite a trendy way to go over there.

And again...

...zergrush.

Looks as if all his base are belong to us now.

"Lee had recently quit his job to spend more time playing games"

I have thought about this more than once, though I don' t know whether out of a love for games or periodic dislike for my job.

From what I've heard, this is becoming fairly common in South Korea.

This is interesting but I am still waiting for the first death caused by having an erection lasting more than 4 hours.

After the priapism has caused Mr. Happy to fall off from gangrene you'll gladly kill yourself.

I always hoped the Matrix trilogy to end with the horrible realization that there was no machine vs. man war; the whole Zion vs the Machines gig was just another shell in the Matrix.

The ugly truth was that humanity programmed the machines to tend to their bodily needs, and then plugged en-mass into the virtual world. It would have been a much better ending.

It could happen.

It could happen.

How do you know it hasn't happened already?

Hey Michael, just wanted you to know that I saw a potato cannon in action over the weekend.
Funny how unusual topics will recur in a short period of time like that.

My little brother's friends; this kid built it from PVC. Stuff a potato or two (they switched to lemons later and it really smelled nice) down the barrel, push it down with a broomstick, open the back hatch and spray in some hairspray, close the hatch and push the spark button.

They set up a wooden target in my dad's backyard and I have to admit it was high-larious. The thing broke apart and they put it back together with duct tape and kept shooting, which I thought was rather brazen.

My husband kept looking at me furtively and making these whining noises; "THAT would scare the coyotes away from our yard."

--the cannon barrel broke apart, not the target.

Oh, and did you know that Canadian researchers did genetic testing and confirmed that Eastern Coyotes have wolf DNA? That's why they are so much bigger than the Coyotes are out West.

I've seen some in my yard that looked pretty much the same size as a thinnish German Shepherd, with a coyote face.

Hate the frickin things with a passion.

Er, clumsy threadjacking.

Next time I'll try to be more graceful.

Duct tape.

I swear, you could rebuild a transmission and perform an appendectomy with duct tape.

The cannon fired and broke apart simultaneously.

And a small group of 19 + 20 yr olds inspected the damage with much cussing and recrimination ("Andrew, you break fucking everything you fucking touch! What the fuck!").
And several heads popped up, yelling, 'Duct tape!'

Like baby ducks wailing for their mama.

It is the go-to cure-all of our century.

Ace- you kill me with this kind of humor.
