If the mole is also a mole, then they’re going to whack a mole mole.
In other news, I have a short piece of fiction up on McSweeney’s Internet Tendency.
Things got ugly halfway through the chorus.
It’s true.
I imagine this would deter repeat offenders.
Regenerating worms: doesn’t get much creepier than that.
We all have our coping mechanisms ;)
On a (slightly) less nerdy note, have you noticed that the phrase “[insert verb]… THIS!” is an epidemic in action movies? Heroes love to shout that line just before landing a finishing blow or launching a missile or something of the sort. It’s almost a code: shorthand for “I am clever with puns and defiant at the same time.”
Here are just a few that are stuck in my head:
[Just before firing a rocket at a robotic drill.] “Dig THIS!”
VILLAIN: “I can read your every move!”
HERO: “Read THIS!”
[HERO proceeds to stab VILLAIN with a knife embedded in a book. I kid you not.]
[Just before destroying some Borg thing.] “Assimilate THIS!”
Can you tell where those quotes came from? They were all major, relatively recent films ;)

On a standard Monopoly board, New York Avenue sits right next to Free Parking. Coincidence?
On an unrelated note, the orange set is probably the best set in the game. It strikes a perfect balance between affordability and soul-crushing rent rates. The purple set (St. Charles Place & co.) is second on my list. Together, they can lock down the only escape from jail ;)
