He grew a classy-looking beard since I last saw him!  I fail to see the downside.

Oh, nice -- now TF2 drama affects me, too!  Does this mean I finally belong?  If so, you're all invited to my place!  I can broil up some gardenburgers and we can watch Watchmen for the 108th time while sitting on my couch and talking about GODDAMN IT WHY SUCH A LOUD ABRASIVE SOUND WHENEVER YOU LOAD A PAGE WHAT THE FUCK

I've been getting drunk once every month or two since the 2008 election!  I haven't gotten drunk enough to throw up yet, which is a streak I hope to consistently maintain.  Brand of booze is usually Smirnoff, Sam Adams, or ~100-proof rum with a fruity mixer of some sort, usually with the company of friends and an awful movie in the background.

I also like a lot of porn!  Nearly all of it is drawn or still images, though.  What little video porn I do watch is mostly just attractive couples home-videoing it to satisfy their exhibitionist fantasies.  The likelihood of either participant not just doing it for the money seems like it would be a whole lot higher this way!

Voted 'cow'!  I stand in silent appreciation of how delicious I am in comparison to all you assholes.

Well done. Welldone! W e l l  d o n e.

Cars shows you a gorgeous wild countryside and tells you it's a travesty that you're not driving through it!  Everything Pixar after that is A-OK, though; Ratatouille, Wall-E, and Up all do amazing and fun things with story structure and pacing.

Also Frocto I was serious >:(

There are just over a dozen MST3Ks on the service, too!  Those count as movies, right?

Mythbusters/Lost/30 Rock/Newsradio/The Office are all good to have on in the background, too, if this is just going to be a general Netflix thread.

Scored a 9 (Bi, Slightly Straight), working from the perspective of my target sex -- I said I would do virtually anything the test suggests with a same-sex partner except be in a relationship with them, and I suspect I'd even be okay with that if the questions up to that point were formatted with proper punctuation. 

Who reaches out and touches anyone's penis/vagina as a consequence of tripping?  Wouldn't the one being touched have to be naked for that to be physically plausible -- especially if they're a woman?  What kind of awkward tripping configuration would have to take place for that to be even possible?

http://theindiebundle.com/ - Six indie games for a grand total of $20, valid only until Friday the 19th.  Never heard of three of them, but And Yet It Moves, Eufloria, and Machinarium all sound like they're worth at least a cool $6.66 each.

My otaku housemate -- the type of guy who runs a small business of burning images of anime girls on tree-slices and selling them over deviantART -- has come into an interesting situation recently.  He hosts anime-club and D&D shindigs here on a weekly basis, and the people who patronize these gatherings are nice, if also a little Invader-Zim-doom-song for my tastes.  While I was heading upstairs one night last year to get some iced tea, I passed by him and a lady friend of his from the club; Gurren Lagann was playing in the dimly-lit room; he was sitting on the couch; she was sitting on the floor between his legs, facing the screen; he was massaging her shoulders and neck; she was making mewling sounds, which I assume meant he was doing a good job?  I guess?

Nobody else was in the room, nor had they been for some time; it was a private evening between him and her, which they'd been doing every other week or so for the last few months.  They'd been watching anime for a few hours and it was late at night by this time, so I resolved not to make an ass of myself and passed by as stealthily as possible.

Three months later, we're out on a shopping trip and he offhandedly mentions that he's been lonely recently; when I ask him about this woman, he tells me she never considered the two of them to have been in a relationship of any kind -- despite him having given her rides from her house a county over and spending evening after evening alone together with her.  This baffled me to the point where I had to confirm we were talking about the same girl, at which point he sheepishly said yes.  He clearly thought she was into him, and she broke his heart by not having told him sooner.



Now, granted, I have a limited picture of the situation, but am I wrong in assuming that this girl was stringing him along for affection and intimate contact, whether vindictively or not?  He clearly should have openly discussed the relationship topic with her at some point, but is he wrong for having made that mental leap forward?

Maybe the reviewer was enchanted by the sight of weird, creepy actually-kind-of-nice tits paired with dead-eyed facial expressions.
