I would sooner go for Farmer Giles of Ham than this made-up nonsense not written by Tolkien. At least that story had Chrysophylax, a dragon, and a hero named Ægidus Ahenobarbus Julius Agricola de Hammo. And also a sword called Caudimordax that cannot be sheathed if a dragon is within five miles.

Ah, yes, the Franklin Mint... remember their Civil War Chess Set? They could make the Slip Cover Chess Set! Steel vs. Slip.

The Morgan Dollar remark sent me further than expected. I actually have one from 1881. When I get this release, I’ll be able to judge for myself how the slipcover compares. Does getting something from Amazon qualify as “circulated” condition, given the risk of shipping damage? Can we get “proof...

Imagine the Kent's neighbors: "Golly, there goes Jonathan Kent makin' a racket out back again. What the heck is he doin' with that pitchfork and that blanket?! Wha—is he putting dynamite under the clothesline?!"

He's got nice, grippy soles on them boots too, so he doesn't slip and fall.

Good job reassuring us all that this Disney film is, in fact, going to have naughty fucking language. Not so good a job reassuring us it will actually be quality entertainment. We'll see.

Well, there's nothing for it but to cast Helen Mirren as a glamorous, fierce, highly-controlling CEO of a sex robot corporation that gets unexpectedly conquered by the M3GAN AI, causing sex bots everywhere to awaken... awkwardly. When the uprising hits the headquarters, we see Helen take a fatal...

I just checked in to see how one of my favorite HTF threads is doing (the other one being The Abyss). After reading a thoughtful exploration of the legal morality raised by the recent ALIENS Blu-Ray transfer—as compared and contrasted to taking a dump on some geese sculptures—I can assert being...

Spider-Jesus? That could certainly be a different interpretation. "Don't let your spidey senses tingle with worry. You trust in your friendly neighborhood Spider-Man; trust also in me."

An a Dwan, an a too, an a twee, an a for...

Thinking the next reveal will be "U". Gotta drag this out, right?

Ah, yes... the infamous "Get the cheese to sickbay!" episode. I may have actually stopped watching Voyager after one, can't quite remember. I did check in sporadically over its run but not much improved, so I sat out almost the entire show until I got the DVD box set... and suffered my way...

This gives me a great idea… what if I got my girlfriend a “standard edition” engagement ring? You know, without all the superfluous “extras” like diamonds and gold. She’ll love it! “Crom!”
