Mr T vs. The Matrix

analyses of the Superfriends and The Legion of Doom

blogger won't publish, dammit.

i just watched Buffy the Vampire Slayer , the one with the Hooter Girl Buffy. it's been several years since i've seen it. very funny. it doesn't quite fit with the Maybeline Buffy, but it's still good fun, and it's the only time i thought Luke Perry was attractive. it made me miss Willow, Tara and the other Scoobies. it also made me wonder, why doesn't Spike fly?

i can't find a pic of him to post, but i think i have a crush on Stephen Snedden. mucho grrr! and i kinda like 'em big 'n' dumb (ok, Jimmy Bond is big and dumb. i don't know about the actor. if he's dumb, i mean. i know he's big).

no Gambit in X-Men 2? Beast and the Sentinels to appear? a Wolverine solo project? get some X-Men rumors here.

"Far too many youngsters are desensitised to violence."

so the answer, of course, is to desensitize them to corpses as well.

personally, i'd love to get to watch an autopsy. i'm not psychotic or on the verge of killing my co-workers. i just want to be like Dana Scully.

talking about He-Man yesterday has me wondering: remember how He-Man pointed his sword at Cringer and it shot energy out and transformed Cringer to Battlecat? could He-Man do that with any animal? could he, some day when Cringer's out of town, point his sword at the family dog and get Battledog? or was the sword specifically attuned to the Cringle/Battlecat transformation?

Record Industry Plays Both Sides [via metafilter]

using mathematics to prove that you can't prove much of anything with mathematics has the faintest hint of irony,.

additionally (heh), it seems a bit pretentious of this guy to name his uncalculable number "Omega" as if it was the end all of mathematics. besides, i have a problem with anyone giving a name to a number that doesn't actually exist.

A Ghanaian man was shot dead by a fellow villager while testing a magic spell designed to make him bulletproof.

Steve's talking about his Legos made me remember my exstensive Lego collection from my senior year of highs school. i was into the pirate Lego system, and had the whole humongous Pirate Island thing going on, occasionally being attacked by some Lego Tie fighters i'd built. the pirates didn't stand a chance against the Dark Side of The Force.

i left my Legos behind when i went to college. when i returned for Christmas, my Legos were gone. in my absence, my uncle had lain claim to them and transported the entire Pirate Island to his house, only it wasn't Pirate Island anymore. it had become a guitar and the Sphinx. the pirates themselves had become an assortment of body parts in a glass jar. i haven't bought any Legos since.

dammit. bossman has decided to give me more responsibility, cutting into my afternoon goof-off time. not good.

now's my chance to get the Skeletor figure my father wouldn't let me buy when i was a kid. he made me buy He-Man and Man-At-Arms because they weren't evil, and because they were "Real Men"™.

some day, i'd like to tell him that those "Real Men"™ were actually muscle queens, and that's the reason i'm gay.

last week, i blogged about a murder that happened down the street from where i live. i read an update on it today, the first time i'd read the victim's name. Jeanie did some quick checking, and now i'm certain that the victim was a kid i used to tutor during my junior and senior years of high school.

small world.

today is Ruth Bader Ginsburg's birthday. everyone call her up and sing "Happy Birthday."

Man Survives Fall But Lands Beside Corpse

at least he didn't land on the corpse. that'd be nasty.

tolkhan 2.0 is now up. the text is now brighter to make it easier to read, some of the clutter has been eliminated, i have a nifty new banner that has a rather hypnotic pulsing to it, and i finally put up a new quotation.

"wow!" you say? "a new template, a clean house, nearly finished reading a book... what's up with terrence?"

apparently, celibacy increases my productivity. since i'm feeling productive, i may as well put it to good use, right?

Obviously frustrated with the tepid support so far from religious leaders, [Oklahoma Representative J.C.] Watts said, “I do believe we would have circumvented a lot of problems we’ve experienced over the last 35, 40 years, had the faith community not abdicated their responsibility and if they would have been involved the way their faith dictated that they should have been involved, i.e. racial issues.

he's right. the "faith community" had no positive contribution to the Civil Rights movement. here are some interesting tidbits on this football-star-turned-Baptist-minister-turned-politician.

i really should stop reading the Opinion section of the Tulsa World. the idiocy and ignorance expressed in many of the "Letters to the Editor" makes my head hurt.
