Tales of Interest

Inspired by i can has cheezburger
I play, I may have mentioned, in a bar trivia league.
Once, a few years ago now, during one game, one of the members of an opposing team took issue with something the host did. She expressed her disapproval by holding a stuffed rabbit up in the air and declaring, “THE BUNNY SAYS NO!”
Until this moment, I did not fully comprehend this statement.
GODBUNNY IS WATCHING YOU
The bunny says no.

Freedom is the Right of All Sentient Beings

One of the best things about being an adult is that you can buy all the toys you want and no one can stop you.
With that observation, I will now reveal that I’ve been a Transformers fan since I was a little kid. And now that I actually have a disposable income of sorts, I’ve decided to take up collecting Optimus Primes. I think I’ve got the majority of them now, or at the least, a representative sampling. There’s a few holes in my collection (RiD Optimus is stupid-looking enough that I haven’t been willing to shell out the amount that they tend to cost), but I think I’ve got a pretty fair spread. In my usual geekish way, I’m going to post a series of in-depth commentaries about the relative merits of each one.
But to start us off, here’s the top of my TV cart:

Which Who Is You

Your Score: the Wit

(57% dark, 26% spontaneous, 31% vulgar)

your humor style:
CLEAN | COMPLEX | DARK

You like things edgy, subtle, and smart. I guess that means you’re probably an intellectual, but don’t take that to mean pretentious. You realize ‘dumb’ can be witty–after all isn’t that the Simpsons’ philosophy?–but rudeness for its own sake, ‘gross-out’ humor and most other things found in a fraternity leave you totally flat.

I guess you just have a more cerebral approach than most. You have the perfect mindset for a joke writer or staff writer.

Your sense of humor takes the most thought to appreciate, but it’s also the best, in my opinion.

You probably loved the Office. If you don’t know what I’m

Your Score: The Second Doctor

You scored 33% intelligence, 11% compassion, 47% sense of humor, and 31% weirdness!

Ah, the comedian! But a *capable* clown. You like to come across as a lovable goof, but in reality you’re a genius who succumbs to occasional absent-mindedness. You know when to cut and run, and you know when you deny authority, no matter how laughable you sound. Your turn-ons include Charlie Chaplin, The Beatles, men in kilts, women in catsuits, flutists, and your giddy aunt. Your turn-offs include omnipotent beings who like to interfere with your affairs, the ever-persistent Cybermen (heck, you don’t even like cybersex!), and thinking about the lisping dandy you’ll eventually become.

Those who can not remember the blog entries of the past are doomed to repeat them

So, every time I add an article to the blog, the blog engine grows slower and slower, and, as usual, Tech Support is less than no help.
So you may have noticed a change to some of the entries. Namely, they’re not here.
Everything from before the first of the year has now been shoved off to the archives. You can still find it, preserved as though via the Wayback Machine, just not here.
