Eventually, someone will eat this ancient soup, gain great powers, and become known to all as . . . Souperman.

Well, the last person to use 'Canto' correctly was a fascist sympathizer who ended up in the madhouse, so . . . .

Arnold just wanted to eat his shoes while he still had two feet.

Sounds like a Tom Lehrer lyric.

Madness; I need to know the names of extinct publishers.

While l agree entirely with your sentiment, I think you could shorten it to say β€˜Jon Snow is boring.’

"Girls delightful in Cuba. Stop. Could send you prose poems about scenery, but don't feel right spending your money. Stop. There is no war in Cuba, signed Wheeler."

"Dear Wheeler: you provide the prose poems. I'll provide the war."

Customs, language, symbolism, all the things that are part of any organization - with SAC we can see them get created, adapt, and change, particularly as LeMay takes over and molds the organization after his image. An interesting niche read.

Book 82: Always at War by Melvin Deaile, a cultural history of Strategic Air Command from foundation to the 1960s. This is a rare book - not about campaigns and battles, or even about planes and bombs, but about how an organization was forged from first principles.

Axis and Allies: Stalingrad. The map is one big space labeled Stalingrad. Both sides shove all their pieces into the space and roll a bucket of dice. High roll wins.

I've just gotten to the point where I report every e-mail as phishing. Safer that way, and an easy way to inbox zero.

Yeah, they're going to lose any sense of reality when they try to make Supreme Court clerks interesting and well-rounded individuals and not a collective of gunners.

Yeah, yeah, wake me up when an Antipope sets himself up in, oh, let's say Coeur d'Alene.

I know nothing about Zelda, having never owned a Nintendo, but this looks to me like Peter Jackson's 'A Tale of Two Elves.'

Eat of this bread, for it is my body.
Drink of this wine, for it is my blood.
Enjoy these Eucharist scrapes, for they are my toenail clippings.

The one time I've been to Vegas, after surviving a near air crash, I went in with $100 I was willing to spend at the $5 blackjack table. I walked away with $200 and decided to try my hand at poker. I was a good poker play in college. I lost $100 in about five minutes and walked the hell away.

You know, this didn't exist until you summoned it into existence. Congratulations on your new child.

I wish I had kept my copies of The New Zork Times, along with all the other 'feelies' that came with Infocom games. Probably worth a chunk of change now.
