Season finale of Sherlock. So awesome there are no words.

Just watching it now. I kind of want an off-season show called Watson that just focuses on Mary and John being awesome.

6 Things Gun Lovers and Haters Can Agree On

Still reading, but I decided to share it when the second quotable line came up.

Robert Evans wrote:I own a semi-automatic version of the AK-47, and it's good for so many things that have zero relation to killing. It can cut down trees, disassemble old cars, and, in a pinch, help me hammer tent poles into the ground. It's like a Swiss Army Knife, but powered by explosions and Communism. You can even cook a goddamn omelet with one

I actually really want to see an AK 47 hammer in tent poles...

We tend to fear huge black rifles with giant army-style magazines

I feel like there was a crack about white people fearing huge black dicks with giant balls too that was edited out here.

Garfield panels chopped up and randomly rearranged.

They make about as much sense as some of the real comics.

Finished reading Worm a few days ago, and my wife's got me under orders to go to sleep early every day until the purple under my eyes goes away because I got about four hours of sleep each night for a week or two thanks to this web serial keeping me up reading...

It isn't as entertaining as you're thinking; just use the solid wooden stock to hammer them in while you hold it by the barrel shroud.

Oh, that's dumb then.

Just watched Ender's Game. really enjoyable. The kid actors all did a great job and Harrison Ford played an interesting character.

It was a GMing advice thread on SomethingAwful's forums, I think. I could dig up a link, but the forums are probably still paywalled.

Fate/Zero.

Team Saber's members might be all over the map when it comes to moral philosophy and honor vs. pragmatism, but that in no way prevents them from being both individually and collectively awesome.

OK. It's just a trailer, but I don't even care. I'm so looking forward to this movie.

The "Kickstopper" idea was hilarious.

Catching up on Once Upon a Time. Shocker... I'm loving Regina. And I hate Charming. He's the consummate example of hero characters that piss me off.

I love Peter Pan as a villain, pulling double weight as the Pied Piper. Fucking awesome.

Okay, I generally don't care much about the whole stupid Ron/Hermione/Harry love triangle because I found them all pretty obnoxious by the end of the book, but I would be remiss in not providing this kind of author-induced trolling.

From DailyKos, by way of:
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/ar ... z2sGu34VD7

That’s how it was conceived, really. For reasons that have very little to do with literature and far more to do with me clinging to the plot as I first imagined it, Hermione ended up with Ron.
(snip) I know, I’m sorry. I can hear the rage and fury it might cause some fans, but if I’m absolutely honest, distance has given me perspective on that. It was a choice I made for very personal reasons, not for reasons of credibility. Am I breaking people’s hearts by saying this? I hope not.

And even Emma Watson (who asked her?!) agreed that Harry and Hermione should have ended up together, leaving Ron, not to mention Ginny (imagine the "hard, blazing look" on her face when she found out), out in the cold:

I think there are fans out there who know that too and who wonder whether Ron would have really been able to make her happy.

Seriously, that is some hardcore trolling. That's the kind of thing where Tite Kubo and Josh Whedon would be all: "Daaaaymn, Rowlings, they're your FANS. Take it easy on them!"

I always wondered why the fuck Rowling bothered with that terrible epilogue that indicated who married who in the first place.

So it's kind of hilarious that she then says "lol nope I was wrong about who I paired together."
