The Fat Man Today

Okay. I promised to fix this blog's layout waaaaay back, but I still haven't gotten around to achieving even a remotely noticeable improvement. I still plan on getting that done - inasmuch as I myself am starting to find everything about this batshit layout absurd - but until then, I will entertain by providing an image not that far removed from the subject, or object, of this post: The Dance of Meat by Aaron K. Fucked up sideways, innit? Oh, in case I didn't warn you kiddies, this post was highly liable to be R-18. Yes, I am an asshole.

Well-written and highly intelligent, this piece pokes around in nearly a decade that saw films festooned with tight-wearing crusaders with a taste for vigilante justice. And while I'd like to be optimistic about how things look for the geek culture ever since Iron Man and The Dark Knight aired, I can't help but grudgingly agree to A. Scott's article: the strains of repeated platitudes and ideals, a lacking sense of fina...

At the end of the post, the player tags 6 people and posts their names, then goes to their blog and leaves a comment, letting them know they’ve been tagged and asking them to read your blog.

This was also the year I weakened my knee. And the year the high school gang of ten were finally formed. 2. What are the 5 things on my to-do list today? No to-do list, really, but today I've: a.
