Are freedoms

Thanks for the long weekend, America. Please try and improve the weather next year.

Rule 420

Rule 420 states: If it can be made into a bong, it has been made into a bong.

Mouths to feed

Catfish will eat just about anything, including you, if they had the chance.

Lips like Barbs

A perfect smile, everytime.

Higher Culture

Cultures as art. It's ultra-meta.

Remember the Titans

Titan = not just another Ice Moon.

Stunning doesn't do it justice.

Sure.

OK!

That's Dione, FYI.

Communism is always dark

Look at Cuba. So dark.

So much light

4, yes. And here?

Each speck a galaxy, some nearly as old as the universe, hundreds of billions of them, all looking something like

Each galaxy containing billions of stars, and each star powered by fusion - the collision of atoms which produces just about everything.

Some of this we call light, and bless it with sight, and are defined by it.

4 Lights!

I apologize for the last post. Let's forget it ever happened.

Oh, and Happy Belated Captain Picard Day!

Make it so, yo.

X RATED JAR JAR (rule 34)

As a reminder, Rule 34 of the Internet states: If something exists, there is porn of it on the Internet.

As such, if you dare - 18 Years and Older Only! - click below this link.


Really, by clicking this link, you agree to the mental scarification which will surely follow.


Click only if you dare.


Last chance....

Forgiving Jar Jar

Are we ready to forgive Jar Jar? Or is it still too soon?

Behind the mask

Boba Fett was an accountant for ten years before a deal went bad and he was forced to take up the rough and tumble life of bounty hunting.

Through it all, his ledger remained black.

The Long Con

Heed my warning, and heed it well: The Con is spreading. ComicCon, where people dress up like comic characters. It's spreading more and more into the real world and I bet soon enough you will see a Stormtrooper or Boba Fett or a Wookie family celebrating Life Day.

Happy Life Day!

Beware!

Head Canon

"Head Canon" refers to the creation of an alternate universe of fictional characters that exists only in your head. Sometimes this hews close to the original work of fiction (for example, instead of the Emperor dying at the end of Jedi, in my "head canon", he lives), or sometimes is dramatically different.

Such as the wedding of Mrs. Doubtifre and Boba Fett, officiated by Batman.

Why?

Who knows. Just roll with it - it's the Internet, Danny.

Never, Never

Forever young and in love (except in the prenup).

I hope there were pirates at the open bar.

Till Death

A more accurate version of nerd love. Isn't it sweet? Having the proposal in the comic book store ensures you'll remember it forever.

True Love

FW:FW:FW: this to all your Aunts on Facebook! This lucky frog hit the jackpot - true love exists!

Sincerely, I'd marry for money in a heartbeat, because it would be true love - I'd love the money.

Date Night

Roger and girlfriend from Canada at Roger's favorite game store.

Later, for dinner. Check out this fancy spread!

Nerdology

Our Nerd Lord is a trinity of Nerdly Nerds, though this trinity is of course but One True Nerd.

Accept our offering of cheeseburger and french fry pizza, O Nerd Lord.

Nerd Honor

Besmirch at your own risk, to be honest.

Joyce

Joyce.




Funny album covers is a particularly target rich subject, so I shan't overdwell on the matter, but I love this one specifically for the perfect distallation of a late 70's/early 80's fashion. The perm. Especially the perm. The big glasses, big earrings, terrible clothes and colors, and just utter lack of taste. It's marvelous. What the hell were people thinking?

Holy Sounds

Pope Urban gives the latest release from Christian Crusaders 9 out of 10 crosses, calling it "Like a musical tour of the Holy Lands" and "Better than an Indulgence".

Scripture's just another word for words

This book really helped me out Freshmen year of High School. Getting the locker open from the inside sometimes took a miracle.

But it was this book that really helped me to know God, using clear and simple language to explain things like everlasting Hellfire.

Thanks, books!

Fear thy Lord

As everyone knows, man is inherently evil, and it is only the fear of eternal damnation and the teaching of this damnation that keeps humanity from descending into total barbarism.

Remember! God is love.

Ukraine's Choice

The choice seems pretty simple, Ukraine. The bigger question concerns your hair style.

In Kievan Rus

Fun fact to know and share: The Russian state was the creation of a Swedish Viking upper class ruling over a feudal population of Slavs. Check it out on the Wiki: Kievan Rus.

Here's some OG Rus graffiti in the Hagia Sophia -  then, an awesome church in the Roman Empire.  You might know them as "The Byzantium Empire". It was just old Rome, really. But by the 9th century CE, they were using Kievan Rus Viking bodyguards. Another fun fact! Rome finally fell in the year 1453, if you reckon the fall of Constantinople as the end of the Roman Empire. Columbus "discovered" America in 1492 for reference. The same year Spain finally pushed Islam from Iberia. Fascinating stuff.

Oh, yeah, other Vikings (Danish, Norwegian) also helped create the modern states of France and England.

Makes you think, about Vikings, you know?

Russian party scene

The boys hang out with friends and have a few (hundred) drinks and

The girls go to glamorous roof parties with views to die for.

Russia! What a party!

In the hot seat

 

Da, warm up here by fire for bit, oh yes, that's nice, oh hi, Dmitry, you take picture? Say BEETS!

EU No More

Disney bought Lucasfilms a few years back now for a cool 4 Bill, and said they're making more Star Wars movies. I'm excited, but I'm a nerd. But not the nerdiest of the Star Wars nerds, by far. For example, I own no toys or costumes.

I do own a few books, they're fun and light and exactly what you think they are. Sci-fi fluff in the Star Wars universe.

But alas! These books created CANON - that is, the history of a fictional universe - and the nerds live in this CANNON and every word of it is truth.

So, when Disney said they were discarding all previous Star Wars CANON other than what has appeared in the films, the hard core nerds freaked out. OUTRAGE! STAR WARS IS DEAD! Really, it's hilarious.

As, above, a nerd prepares to burn some of his EU (Extended Universe - CANON) books (I'm sure he has hundreds more).  Hurts so good.

Happy Whatever Day!

Since no one actually knows what Cinco de Mayo is about other than "Mexico" and "Partying", I'll say Happy Whatever Day! It's always good to have a theme and a reason, even if they don't mean much in reality.

FYI, the party above, here, was last year. Alas.

Obi Juan was there, of course.
