Fox Wins Watchmen Ruling →
“…if WB goes down the appeal road, then Watchmen may not come out until 2011 considering the glacial speed with which the court system moves.”
Oh wonderful.

“While complaining to a construction worker dumping radioactive waste on their neighbors (not Carl), Shake is bitten by a radioactive black man and turns black. Frylock fails to turn him back to white, so Shake turns to Boxy Brown to learn more about African-American culture.”

A perfectly normal line of conversation
Nick: Did you know that Born in the USA was the first music CD pressed in America?
Peter: I didn't know that. I'm glad it was though.
Nick: I learned that today from the trivia questions Walgreen's play over their speakers. What I'm trying to say is that Walgreen's has bargains AND does its part to help with children's education.
Peter: It sure does. I just wish there were more of them. 2 on every block.
Nick: Children?
Peter: Yeah 2 children on every block, or more.
Nick: I wish that people regularly gave birth to litters of 8 or more children.
Peter: I know that I would if I were capable of breeding.
Nick: How many vasectomies have you had?
Peter: It'll be 9 this Christmas. The government assigned 11, so we're almost there.
Nick: Now it just seems like a cosmetic thing. Especially since you lost reproductive functions in that biking accident a few years back
Peter: You mean when I tried to ride a bike upside down, and my sac was entangled between the gears, and I didn't realize it for the first mile and a half?
Nick: That's the one.
Peter: Yeah, that's the one I thought you were referring to.
Nick: Also, holding your cell phone up to your balls and telling people to "talk to the scrote" probably didn't help.
Peter: It didn't even make me feel better when they actually did.
FYI: My plan didn't work
Nick: What I've read is that Sprint has let people use other carriers' phones so they don't lose customers, but they don't always let you do it. So i think I'll threaten them and say "activate it and I'll buy a data plan or else I'm ending my contract." I won't really do it, but I'm going to at least make an empty threat.
Chris: You should paint your face red too, so they think you are really really angry.
Nick: And stand in front of two tea kettles, so it looks like steam is shooting out of my ears.
Getting to Know... Bradley Kenyon →
My good buddy Brad just got some online press. It’s weird to read an interview with someone who spent English class making Mortal Kombat jokes with me.
I have the sudden, unprovoked urge to write a song called “Whyd’ya Get Fat?”
“Satellite radio.. you should hear these guys. Jim Breuer. They’re like apes...”

Big Dipper - “Younger Bums”
Hooray...
Me: I think I do my best writing when I use the voice of a total asshole. I need to find a job where I can take advantage of that fact.
Peter: That job would be "Internet troll," and you don't need to fill out a resume to do it.

People always ask me for advice about how they can be more creative. I can’t really give a solid answer, but I do get my best ideas while sitting on the toilet. That’s why I call it my “dream catcher.”
