The geeks shall inherit the SoaP, it seems. From Malhavoc Press and MonteCook.com :

Centuries ago, however, Jaque was defeated in battle by the terrible Abyssal lord of serpents, Yig. Yig sent his squamous minions to invade Jaque’s two planes and slay all of her many children, using the forking conduit plane to get to them. However, the eldest of the children, Jaque’s half-mortal son Samuel-el, stood at the junction to stem the squirming tide. As Yig’s demonic serpents approached, he stared at them with a steely gaze. “And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who attempt to poison and destroy my brothers.”

Check out the stats on this dude. Of course, he has the skill of Smite.

I finally saw the full trailer in the theater for Snakes on a Plane. I was so excited, I actually let out a rather loud “WHOOP!” and then repeated “Yeah, but it’s no Snakes on a Plane after every other trailer until the movie started.

So from now until The Day Of Reckoning, I strongly urge all of you to watch for this trailer. And as soon as you see the word “Snakes” appear on the screen (you’ll know where, trust me), please shout at the top of your lungs: “Why are there motherfucking snakes on this motherfucking plane?”

It would make me so proud.

Mike, Evo, Mason Rocket, Jack Mangan, TD0013, Eliza, & Mr. Eliza on the show.

The perfect podcast device - mobile phones! Call us people! Make it good! Especially if you’re from MIT.

The guys show off their Klingon skills.

On the surface, I should probably post this on the SoSF site. But I feel like using bad words and delivering a healthy dose of honesty which may offend some over there. But not here. Summer sent me a press release. Here’s the snip:

New York, NY - May 25, 2006 - SCI FI Channel today announced that World Wrestling Entertainment®… will debut a summer series on Tuesday, June 13, at 10 p.m. ET/PT. ECW (Extreme Championship Wrestling®) will be an alternative brand of wrestling suited to fit the SCI FI Channel’s commitment to fuel the imagination.

What. The. FUCK??? Wrestling? On a channel that is supposed to be dedicated to science fiction? I fail to see how this stretches the imagination. Oh, wait… there’s more.

“Research tells us that there’s a healthy appetite for wrestling among SCI FI viewers,” said Bonnie Hammer, President, USA and SCI FI Channel. “With ECW, we’re able to deliver to those fans unique action with a twist that’s perfect for SCI FI.”

Now listen, Bonnie. By now, you should have a good understanding of what we want out of your network. It was cool watching Toby Maguire do the wrestling thing in Spiderman. And when Kirk fought the Gorn. And I’m a huge fan of the 6 minute fight sequence in They Live. But honestly, unless these guys come out of their corners with frickin’ laser beams on their heads, our opinion of you and your executives will shift away from the BSG/Dr Who good vibes and back to the “what the hell were you thinking” memories of Farscape.

The press release also mentions folks who the media could contact for more information. I wonder if they’d mind hearing from a few thousand fans?

• Sallie Schoneboom, SCI FI Channel, 212-664-3467
• Bill Brennan, SCI FI Channel, 212-664-4898

Not that I’m suggesting you should do that. But if the mood takes you…

Looks like pressing issues for schools, like inadequate teacher salary, overcrowed classrooms and circa 1962 facilities have been solved in Liberyville, IL.

The [overzealous? underworked?] board of Community High School District 128 voted unanimously on Monday to require that all students participating in extracurricular activities sign a pledge agreeing that evidence of “illegal or inappropriate” behavior posted on the Internet could be grounds for disciplinary action.

An FYI: listening to this show definitely falls under the “inappropriate” banner. I want to know if any of you get detention for this.

Now this is classic. Hvanbrug decided to add the dreaded blight of Mennengasia to Wikipedia. I have no idea how long it will last, so check it out while you can. Ah, pop culture. Love it!

This week we have Mike, Evo, TD0013, Jack, Summer, Mason Rocket, Eliza, and Mr. Eliza. Good lawd, that’s a lot of bottle openin’.

Summer has the perfect tee for TD0013

Phil sent us… oh wait.

I’ve just received a note from a promoter explaining that the launch of Clerks II, the highly anticipated sequel to Kevin’s Smiths seminal work, has been moved up in the launch queue. Originally slated for an August 18th debut, the antics of Dante and Randall will now punch you in the face on July 21st, 2006.

Why?

Elementary, my dear Watson. Kevin Smith is no dummy. He knows he hasn’t got an Asian design major’s chance in Hades going up against the greatest cinematic event the world has ever seen, opening on the same day.

Say it loud, people!

Hey gang. Like many of you, my life is completely crazy and there would be no way I could keep up with all the things if it weren’t for RSS. But I know that a lot of you don’t use the RSS feed for various reasons. Good enough– to each his own.

I’m curious if there would be a call for getting RSS-like updates via email? Not a mailing list per se, but simply a service that notifies you when a new show or a new entry has been made on this website. The system rolls up all the posts made in a day, and sends you an email. That simple.

What the hell? Let’s try it.

I’ll add this to the sidebar later now.
