...Just what the heck were you doing on the national sex offender registry Cow?

Looking to see how many sex offenders might live near me.

I thought you were joking about that deadly vacuum cleaner recall notice, or whatever that was.  Because I was chuckling.

[Cheddarius]

Watching House on Hulu made me very happy today.
Also, "A Slow Parade", one of the songs there. It's pretty good.

[Itnetlolor]

This made me happy. I was just curious if I have other fans from elsewhere. Did a Google search recently and found this:

Alternatively, and I'm not sure this really counts, but how about Nazushdur Anrizgeshud Nom, Bloodfist the Sky-Fortress of God, just for the awsomness.

Sweet. But I think for all the lives spent making it, and the cost of materials and so on, it'll cost WAAAY more than that LEGO model I made for reference.

Oh, and I did an image search with related terms, and found a bunch of Bay12 related stuff.

Oh yeah, and I got my second update done before 2AM today!!! I can actually sleep at a more proper time now.

[smigenboger]

I lifted weights today. Progress makes me happy.

It's like an awesome group photo. Kudos, Vester. Kudos indeed.

Uh... I'll try and name them from left to right...

Ctulhu, Duke 2.0, Vester, Jackrabbit, WorkerDrone, JoshuaFH, Toonyman!

[Jackrabbit]

ToonyMan. His head was on fire at the time.

[Cheddarius]

I don't really understand Duke 2.0, Joshua, nor Toony.
Toony looks more like Aqizzar to me.

I am horribly ill-read.

I have gone on a great quest to rectify this situation by reading this entire list, from 1 to 100.  I've begun on Pride and Prejudice right now.  Expect my dialog to be hilariously colored by large stretches of reading.

Being well-read will make me happy.

I am horribly ill-read.

I have gone on a great quest to rectify this situation by reading this entire list, from 1 to 100.  I've begun on Pride and Prejudice right now.  Expect my dialog to be hilariously colored by large stretches of reading.

Being well-read will make me happy.

Pride and Prejudice?! You are morally obligated to begin with The Lord of The Rings! Then move on to Pride and Prejudice and Zombies...

[Earthquake Damage]

Then move on to Pride and Prejudice and Zombies...

This.  Because it's surely 300% better than the original.

[Cthulhu]

P&P&Z is not on the list.  Lord of the Rings is second on the list, not first, so I'm starting with Pride and Prejudice.

Besides, the ladies love a man who's read Pride and Prejudice for reasons other than getting the ladies.

The really tough one is going to be the Bible.  I've already read Job, Revelation, most of Genesis, and bits and pieces of the rest, but that is a huge book.

[Earthquake Damage]

I just discovered this.  My life has new meaning.

[Jack_Bread]

Yessss. I finally found a way to make export local image work. I uploaded a fort to the map archive.

[Taco Dan]

The really tough one is going to be the Bible.  I've already read Job, Revelation, most of Genesis, and bits and pieces of the rest, but that is a huge book.

I'm just going to skip the Bible, I really have no intention of ever reading it.
