The Tain

Ahh, the Chessmen of Mars . One of the best of Burrough's Barsoom novels (Mars books). Well do I recall the Kaldanes and their headless human-like mounts, the rykors. Edgar Rice Burroughs was totally creative and prolific. I've read most of his books. I have always loved his style... in fact, I'm re...

In other news, Night of the Living Dead just called. It wants its zombies back.



Link is to the full movie at hulu.com.

Let's load 'em up and send them down into the sun. I'd like to see 'em keep coming after that!

There is an image below that may take a few moments to load. It was a game of Bacon (as it must be for the Wightblast) on Twister. The ball was the Cloudkill ball from vinylrake's Balls of Death tagset. The effect of that is that when the ball is jiggered, it can emit a red cloud that fairly rapidly...

Now frum you just need to get 3 wights blasts in a row! You can get 6 wights on chest! Now that would be news! Wow, think of it: with cooperating teams, we could even blast the ball from pond to pond, completely circumnavigating the waterways of Chest with the ball via wightblasts. This would be at...

Wth? A triple post?

Please believe me, this was an accident. This is one of the rare times when I'm actually serious.

News about Balls o' Det and wightblasts is news. So is the news about someone going to a Mall, which is what's on the news page.

Oh, crikey -- double post. SOrry! That's not news.

since dead things don't breathe, dead things won't be harmed by exposure to the gas. Preciceley. Of course, since dead things don't move, either, I figured the soulless would be useless units. But they've got their uses. Hey, vr... I had an idea for a new BoD. Let's pretend that the "gas"...

I could post when I pull off successful Wightblasts! Why, just the other day I had a game of bacon in which I had TWO WIGHTBLASTS! No, yeah! It was a game of Bacon* (as it must be for the Wightblast) on Twister. I got four wights, sending two to one of the ponds that ring mid and sending the other t...

the base ISO is only 64. I don't understand this part. If you can actually set the ISO to 64, I'd be stoked. My lowest native ISO is 200 and I'd love to be able to set it lower if I chose. On the other hand, if that is the native ISO -- by "native ISO" I only mean the ISO higher than whic...

Heh, funny plates. You must use your car's Dashboard Cam and take some pics for us! Or wait -- is the Dashboard cam the one that takes a picture of the inside of the car? Then the bumper cam! Oh, or! Just creep up to a parked car that has such a plate and take some pics with a good camera. No one wi...

Any thoughts... I have no thoughts, and I know you said you read reviews, but I recommend seeing what they say about it at Popular Photography (popphoto.com) and especially at dpreview.com http://www.dpreview.com/news/0808/08080703nikons60.asp After looking, I see neither one has a review per se, b...

Heh, can I Biggie-Size that?

I don't understand the "Bob" part being funny. What am I missing?

Fizbin... Fizbin... Ahh, yes, a card game played on Beta Antares IV, I believe.
