Riker Ipsum

Quote

Sorry, Data. Mr. Worf, you sound like a man who's asking his friend if he can start dating his sister. Besides, you look good in a dress. A lot of things can change in twelve years, Admiral. Some days you get the bear, and some days the bear gets you. Maybe if we felt any human loss as keenly as we feel one of those close to us, human history would be far less bloody. My oath is between Captain Kargan and myself. Your only concern is with how you obey my orders. Or do you prefer the rank of prisoner to that of lieutenant? I'd like to think that I haven't changed those things, sir. When has justice ever been as simple as a rule book? You're going to be an interesting companion, Mr. Data. Flair is what marks the difference between artistry and mere competence. You enjoyed that. I recommend you don't fire until you're within 40,000 kilometers. Now, how the hell do we defeat an enemy that knows us better than we know ourselves? Your head is not an artifact! Is it my imagination, or have tempers become a little frayed on the ship lately? Our neural pathways have become accustomed to your sensory input patterns. Did you come here for something in particular or just general Riker-bashing? Not if I weaken first. Fate. It protects fools, little children, and ships named "Enterprise." About four years. I got tired of hearing how young I looked.

Here is a pretty great takedown of an Esquire review of Texas Chainsaw 3D:

Quote

Hollywood scares are never scarier than anything reality can produce. That is not now and never has been the point. And to call TCM a product of "a more innocent time" is sort of forgetting the literal torrents of hellfire we were raining over nations in the form of napalm as it debuted.

Remember the Build a Death Star petition? The White House has released an official response.

Maisto Fresh Metal Tailwinds 1:97 Scale Die Cast United States Military Aircraft - US Air Force Medium Altitude, Long Endurance, Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) RQ-1 Predator with Display Stand (Dimension: 6" x 3-1/2" x 1")

This is the best toy ever. Finally, I can pretend that I'm a winner of the Nobel Peace Prize!
It's like I'm sitting right there in the White House with my very own kill list!

My son is very interested in joining the Imperial forces when he grows up. He says he's not sure if he wants to help police the homeland or if he wants to invade foreign countries. So I thought a new Predator drone toy would be a nice gift for him. These drones are used both domestically and internationally, to spy on people and assassinate them at the Emperor's discretion. He just loves flying his drone around our house, dropping Hellfire missiles on Scruffy, our dog. He kept saying that Scruffy was a terror suspect and needed to be taken out. I asked him if Scruffy should get a trial first, and he quoted Lindsay Graham, Imperial Senator: "Shut up Scruffy, you don't get a trial!" I was so proud. I think I'll buy him some video games that promote martial law for Christmas.

Raiders of the Lost Ark in black and white

Sadly it's not actually the movie, just a ton of stills that have been formatted to black and white. I'd love to see that, though.

An interesting look at the guest actors from an episode of an old TV show called Naked City. Favorite quote:

Look at those pictures. That's Hawkeye Pierce and Mallory Archer making fun of the Penguin. This is the magical world we live in, each and every day.

A Letter From the New Yorker

Quote

For instance, this is the fifth week in a row that you have submitted the poem “Ass Dicks.” Although the aesthetic experience of the poem is quite phenomenal in the sense that the reader does feel as though they are directly in contact with colons and penises, it is not an experience that we would ever knowingly force upon our readers. Furthermore, we refuse to publish any piece of poetry that, however ironically, contains a subtle congratulatory nod to Joseph Stalin for winning the American Civil War. Although we understand the artistry of your deeply convoluted and nonsensical metaphor (which you have assured us has more to do with Stonewall Jackson than Joseph Stalin) the editorial staff at The New Yorker unanimously feels dumber for having read it.
