It's well-documented that Lovecraft's writings were based on his very real fear of pretty much everything.

Robert Howard, too. Although, he was more about Anglo-Saxon fighting stock than middle class.

And for the best of both, a nice racist Cthulhu Mythos story by Robert Howard.

You'd be surprised at the number of fields and applications where the basic ctrl+ keys work. I know I have been.

That Moby's Play is the most licensed album ever, having had every track used in movies.

On top of that, I learned it after seeing that the first album from a band I had always considered pretty indie was in second place.

I assumed since this was a bank-owned property that the previous owner just got fucked over by the economy and walked on it (which is a thing you can do in California.)

Turns out, he actually got cancer and died a year ago.

That oreos sold in Australia actually have some kind of different recipe that makes them taste completely disgusting, both to Australians (the ones I know, anyway) who don't know any better (and who wonder why people like oreos) and visitors who know what real oreos taste like.

I wasn't just thirsty all week.  Target's store brand water is, in fact, the tastiest water.

So is Brentai like a third Puma Sister or something?

God, just don't let him drive a tank.

It was too much trouble to get them back out, though. There are still a bunch of Boeings in service right now with long-dead ferrets trapped inside their structure.

Today I learned that mean-eyed pistol-packing priests really do exist.

Don't believe the cynics, kids. Dreams really do come true.

I say the word 'appreciate' way too damn much. To the point people are getting upset.
Yell at me if you see me say it. I'd appreci-
aaaaaaaaaah! :nyoro~n:




Edit: Counted how many times I said it this evening. Granted I had been drinking and someone gave me a ride but... 17. In a 3 hour time span.
