Amanda Lucas Should Play Brienne of Tarth

Just saying. Here's a story about her recent MMA fight.

Donald Duck's Fascist Nightmare

I've long heard legends of this Disney short "In Der Fuhrer's Face" an Oscar-winning short built around the song of the same name by Spike Jones and the City Slickers. I sorta wish they'd built a dark ride at Disneyland around this cartoon. The over-the-top fascist imagery (dig the Hitler moustache on Donald's house) and the anthropomorphized bullets would be super trippy in real life.

Weezer, I mean Rivers

It is hard not to compare anything they do to Pinkerton, I mean Blue, I mean Pinkerton ...

Can you really hate on a band for trying something different?

(and because, shhhhh, The Rentals are better anyway)

Penny Arcade's coverage of D&D's 4th edition made me interested enough to dig for more details. Warlocks, tiefings, unlimited spells (so I wont be using the cross-bow all day!), and online play. Where do I sign up? Someone please explain the lack of D&D chatter.

Optimus Prime for T-shirts, not Megatron!

Heathrow Airport security wouldn't allow this guy on the plane with this offensive Megatron T-shirt, supposedly threatening him with arrest. The guy explained 'I am an IT consultant, I need to wear Nerd Gear' but consented and changed his shirt. I wonder if they let him keep his shirt in his carry-on bag? Who knows he could take out that shirt and attempt to hijack the plane!

Real fans wear Optimus Prime and security just waves them through, as a picture of Optimus would burn the skin of a man with evil in his heart just like holy water on vampires.
