…and the horse you rode in on, Xykon.

The best part of this?

Third level spell. No saving throw for the item.

Boom.

PS: If you’re confused, start here and work your way through.

Actually, one more thing.

The Electric Company is now a league of superheroes?

I’m not objecting; just bemused.

And on that note…

…I need to get ready for a SCA event.

In the meantime, I saw the words ‘G-Force trailer’ and prepared the snark… until I watched the trailer.

We call that ‘cognitive dissonance.’ And ‘well, at least it’s a Jerry Bruckheimer film.’ Yes, that’s a selling point: Jerry knows what I want to see in a film, and he makes sure that I see it.

“Jump Around.”

Yeah, light posting this weekend. Anyway, I don’t give a flying leap what this guy says about rap songs that white people like…

…Actually, it’s hysterical, and brutally honest. Still:

Jump Around [Explicit], House Of Pain

I regret nothing! Nothing!

Two random cable-binging movie observations.

This isn’t exactly a stunning revelation or anything, but seeing the Michael Keaton Batman after you’ve seen The Dark Knight is… interesting. The first isn’t bad, but it’s definitely nothing like the second.

Also, Con Air is living proof that a movie doesn’t actually have to make any coherent sense in order to be great. Or at least worth watching again.

No longer traveling.

But, apparently, my mom’s cable modem refuses to admit that my laptop exists, let alone is worthy of an Ethernet connection. This is simply going to limit my presence for the next couple of days.

In the meantime, I got this from Lorie Byrd. I promise to give full attribution as soon as I can get Adode Flash Player up and running on my mom’s new laptop, I swear. Done.

Traveling.

Will be integrated back into the datastream this afternoon.

In the meantime: here, have a metaphor.

Nice deal on Flip video cameras.

(H/T: Glenn Reynolds). I ‘m not normally this unsubtle in pointing this stuff out. Then again, they’re not normally offering Flip camcorders at two-thirds off, so what the heck. Seriously, a camcorder is rapidly becoming an indispensable tool in blogging, particularly if you’re doing anything like local journalism. The difference is like night and day in what you can do: the one that I have now has seriously improved both my access and my reach.

In fact, I’m even thinking of an upgrade; so hit the tip jar, or something.

“Pencil Thin Mustache.”

I swear, I looked at this, squinted, and couldn’t tell if this really was a mustache being born:

…but Ed Driscoll reports that it hit Drudge, so what do I know? Admittedly, in the picture on Drudge the ‘stache seems to be more obvious; then again, it may be a Photoshop. Anyway, you know what this really means.

It means this:

Pencil Thin Mustache, Jimmy Buffett

I think that they might as well get another playground.

One that’s inside.

Because I don’t think that these guys are going to want to give up their new hangout.

PS: “I fail to see how injecting an untested chemical, at speculative doses, into the testes of our majestic black bear population could possibly be considered humane,” – this has nothing at all to do with that picture, but it is in the top hundred list of Things That I Have Seen On The Internet That Just Don’t Stop Being Funny. A list which now includes this.
