My cousin's fifteen-year-old son came out to her not long ago by saying he wanted to tell her he was gay. So she started in with how adolescence is a confusing time, etc, etc, and he interrupted to add, "Mom, almost every day for the last three months I been having sex with this boy from school named Justin." She was like, "Oh. Oh! Well OK, I guess you're right then." 

I wish your young man all the best.

Children's museums these days tend to be interactive and lack cool stuff out on display. Too much of a mall play area in the design, not enough "eat your cooked carrots 'cause they're good for you" style of like it or not education. By gum 'n golly, if I had to endure that when I was little, why should the next generation be spared?

Can't figure out why so many people's youtubes are now redirecting to this:

https://youtube.com/devicesupport

Probably because youtube has now made it only html5, before you had the choice of html or html5.

I know, Rev. I think it was someone's silly decision to say devices of a certain age are no longer worth supporting anymore. Happened to my good old ipod. I wish they'd go back.

A video game developer has this to say about their product:

We've been sort of scrambling to get it first in a playable stage and now we're going to get it in a polished stage, so that people are getting what they deserved in the first place.

This is six months after the game was released for $60.00.

And they wonder why I've lost interest in that hobby.

EA? Ubisoft? Activision? Bethesda????

The guys who did that Halo Master Chief collection:  http://www.vgchartz.com/article/259000/halo-director-master-chief-collection-is-definitely-a-black-eye-for-us/

You know what's even worse though, this game has an 85/100 Metacritic average review score.  The people who made it are now admitting that it was unplayable, yet 36 out of the 69 "professional" video game reviewing sites gave it a score of 90 or above.  And these are the same jackasses that will jump up on their soapboxes and preach about how they're not just writers, they're journalists, they have integrity.

Every single aspect of that industry makes me want to vomit.

I went to a comicon today dressed as Arthur Dent. Kinda surprised at who did & didn't get it.

Not sure which was the most pedestrian: Me, The Men In Black, or that kid who came as Tony Stark (it took me two hour to realize he was even wearing a costume).

[Newt]

Each time someone mentions Tony Stark I spend several seconds confused as to which Game of Thrones character he might be.

I liked it better when "GOT" was short for Galaxy Of Terror.

For my Arthur Dent costume, one person suggested I get a towel with dolphins on it. I wonder if I should play it strait, or get a Miami Football team towel...

I love professional wrestling, the way it used to be when we had the NWA, AWA, Calgary Stampede, UWF, Memphis Wrestling (CWA, USWA), WCCW, Florida Wrestling, etc. I hate sports entertainment and what has become of the current overly scripted, very boring and almost completely predictable WWE. Lucha Underground, ROH, TNA Impact Wrestling, New Japan, whatever other promotion you want to name...almost all of it is better than WWE. Hell 2000's WCW was better than current WWE. Herb Abrams' UWF was better. All in my opinion mind you. WWE is like a paint by numbers painting we've all solved and seen way, way too often.

Two women I find inspiring:

Juliette Gordon Low, who lost half her hearing as a result of a single grain of rice, tossed at her wedding, entering her ear, yet still went on to found the Girl Scouts, head numerous charities, and advocate for educational opportunities for women, all in an era when even partial deafness normally meant a limited life of disability, shame, exclusion, and being a woman meant you let others speak up for you. (As someone who is gradually losing hearing in my right ear, I really look up to her.)

Madam C.J. Walker, who never let anything hold her back, not gender, not poverty, not the color of her skin, not even being an orphan. Madam Walker worked hard and never accepted excuses, refusing to ever see herself as a victim, she founded a door-to-door cosmetics business that saw her live to become the first female self-made millionaire. I wish more people knew about her, but she seems to be out of fashion in popular history. No matter who you are, you could probably learn a lot from Madam Walker.

Can't see it changing anytime soon either. There's no legit competition, so why would they care to shake things up a bit? It sucks, but it is what it is. I prefer to just watch old tapes and DVDs of when it was good. I too hate what it has become. If you told me 25 years ago that I would detest pro wrestling by 2012, I'd have laughed.

It just is a dead horse. Nothing will change in McMahon land. They will coast off previous success, and ideas or concepts they stole from other territories, and act like they were always the top of the food chain, when it couldn't be further from the truth. History is written by the victors, and with that company in Connecticut, it's all about revisionism.

I'd try for one from Sea World, as a Football Logo might weaken the image.
"This mus be Thursday. Never could get the hang of Thursdays..."

Oh, and next time, go with someone dressed as Ford Prefect, and use the opportunity to riff (in character) on the 'other aliens.'
