Has anyone read Skelebunnies? And if so, is it as awesome as it sounds? And if so, how is it possible for anything to be so damn awesome?
And I know that gilgrim is shaking his head as he reads this, no doubt, since Skelebunnies is published by the same good people who published his own More >

There are plans (GREAT PLANS!) in the works for a more visually stimulating response to yesterday’s historic day of history making historicity. We shall see if said plans come to fruition.
What I will say, at this point, is that I’m still digesting it. I mean, it’s a little weird to think More >

See, the thing is, when you have more money than almost anybody (or any company) you can decide to blatantly disregard existing laws and do what you want.

You know The Sun, right? The British “paper” that’s a mishmash of news, sports, soft-core porn and just plain weird ass shit.

Well, the trial is “over” in that, no more evidence will be submitted or arguments made. Although, both sides will continue to file briefs, and the actual verdict isn’t expected for several weeks. So at least the crying on the stand parts of this story are done with.

No, this isn’t a joke. He has, in fact, died.
Not sure who he is?
He directed, among other films, The English Patient, for which he won an Oscar, Cold Mountain, one of my all time favorite movies, and The Talented Mr. Ripley, one of the few films I’ve actually walked out of even though everyone More >
