If Giovanni Ribisi’s character isn’t listed as “Pointlessly Gleeful Cunt” in the credits I will be so disappointed

Spike of Templar, AZ (Previously, Previously) tends to go on rants on twitter, now you can follow them.

Whenever I read Twitter, I still feel like I'm reading a succession of bumper stickers.

Well, I like it. Her advice to animation majors is a nice read.

I don't think bumper stickers so much as I think Burma Shave.

hmm...

Did you here the one about the guy with Multiple Personality Disorder who posted on Twitter? He was a right character.

No, not quite right yet..

This is exactly why I stopped following her on Twitter. She has interesting things to say sometimes, but she just rants so much.

At this point ragging on Avatar yet again is basically going for fruit so low hanging it's actually a potato.

Twitter is over. We've all moved on.

Squee Rat continues to be ranty. Film at 11.

I have a hard time embracing this mode of communication given that the root word of its name is "twit." Kind of like I'd be wary of applying for a loan at a financial institution named "Outrageous Interest Rates R Us" or eating at a restaurant called "Cold N' Moldy."

Did you get that joke off a dubble bubble wrapper?

What? Are you serious? Twitter single-handedly saved Iran! Don't you remember?

I remember Twitter. Those were the days when communication was fresh and informative!

some more "so you want to start a webcomic" help linked from the feed but not of the feed.

I went to buy the books for my graphic-novel-loving wife but the official story doesn't support https? WTF? Is there some non-overbearing-megacorp route for me to buy these without sending my info in plain text over the intarwebs?

Official story? No. Official store.

If nothing else, I like this one:

Why do people are paternity suit-centered talk shows aways scream about who the baby looks like? Babies all look like Winston Churchill.

She's not the only one who thinks this, but it was (amusingly) new to me. Thanks to this, I will nickname my babies Winston Churchill Jr, or some more convenient abbreviation thereof, until they resemble something else.

(OK, that site really did have a comparison of Winston Churchill vs someone's baby - Google image remembers)

Another baby found to look like Winston Churchill (no pics, and some of the Blisstree images may be slightly NSFW).

Best part of this newest round of searching for Baby or Winston Churchill picture competition: Who is Winston Churchill dating? If everyone in those pictures is dead, shouldn't it be in the past tense?

Guess I'll be the first to admit that I read Templar, AZ and I don't really get it.
Not really sure why I keep reading it, except that I am hoping to eventually understand what the hell is going on.
