Spoilers to follow, etc. I watched (and enjoyed) the Sherlock Victorian special. From what I've seen since, there have been two main complaints about it, but I don't really agree with them. 1) The plot was confusing. Maybe I'm too used to plots where Steven Moffat does weird stuff, as he is wont to ...

To my bemusement, my saliva hovered in front of my eyes, making microscopic movements in no particular direction.

I used to enjoy reading Gaijin Smash , which was the blog of an American man who was teaching English in Japan and found himself baffled by many of the things around him. He changed it to Gaijin Chronicles when he found that things were weirding him out slightly less, but it hasn't been updated for ...

I then came to my senses and confirmed that it was, in fact, all very real.

Hey, it's all different...

The mantis looked at me, shrugged, headbutted a skyscraper into submission and then melted into the pavement.

I tried to look unfettered as I then more quickly walked.

(Is there any reason why?)

"Pavement pork is rotten", I boldly declared.

POOOOOOOOOOOONNNNNNNNNNNDDDDDDDDDDEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEERRRRRRRRRRRR

I'm getting a lot of error messages at the top of the page now. The page loads normally, but the top part is entirely taken up by repeating lines such as: ' Deprecated: preg_replace(): The /e modifier is deprecated, use preg_replace_callback instead in /home/spamusers/www/www/forums/includes/bbcode....

Aww, we don't even have Ponder here to give them a spammy avatar.

yep, you all hate me and my whining don't you. i might as well never come here again then. forum is dying anyway, why should i bother I think that the response that you've had from those of us who are still here is a pretty good argument for saying that we don't hate you. Lots of people are trying ...

This was a very good collaborative effort that provided a lot of entertainment. So what if I'm resurrecting old threads and reminiscing.

Was the three word at a time game one where we drew a picture that advanced the story with three words, or was that something out? I think there was something else along the lines of Spamusement: the game: the game?

What...what is that?

That did get a good laugh out of me.

I had a bad class today. I have to make my students create online portfolios in a format that they won't be able to keep once they graduate. So, I consider it an unhelpful hoop my students have to jump through, and I've made that clear to them. Unsurprisingly, they weren't into discussing the examp...

That is anguish.

I quite like your other comics, they're very Stevenf-ish. Please keep making more!

We ran out of candy (bought 3 bags and had some at home, so probably around 80 kids) around 8:30. Last year had maybe 12 and a ton of left-over candy. Next year will get it right. SYG - More candy for you then! I'm not sure that there are even 80 kids within trick or treating range of my house! We ...

I've been looking forward to this a lot. Firstly, that's a hell of a bit of alliteration from EsBe, very impressive. I think making a small contribution to that line might be my most noteworthy achievement to date. The whole thing then went delightfully mental. Enty's picture had me laughing at the ...

I found that quite funny.

Let me get back to the original purpose of this thread and whine and complain that we had maybe a couple dozen trick or treaters this year, when previous years had close to 100. We have a giant bowl of candy getting un-distributed because people decided to party on a Saturday instead of drag their ...
