Ask post: Christian Apologetics Podcasts
I'm gonna second the request for more information. Of late, I've been interested in Orthodoxy, and I've found the stable of Ancient Faith Radio podcasts to be pretty awesome.

What do the toner levels look like? That would be where I would look first.

Ask post: Where can I find nice hardcover versions of Roger Zelazny's Chronicles of Amber?
Anecdotally, I've had my copy since 2002 or 3, read it every couple of years and have lent it out and it's still in decent shape.

Ask post: Scary Horror Scenes
Many good recommendations here. The one that sticks in my mind is from the end of The Shining. Shelley Duval and the kid are running out of the Hotel and they pass a guy in a bear suit (?) going down on a guy in a tuxedo. It was easily the most invasive feeling I've ever had from a movie.

What bothered me most about the furry scene wasn't any of the present elements, rather it was the feeling of invasion. The stare was just unnerving. That said, it is entirely possible that was contextual, a violation of some sort of film to film watcher contract. Doesn't change the fact that I still refuse to watch the youtube clip.

Also, this thread made me sleep with a light on last night. I've never done that before. Thanks y'all.

Ask post: Tips for a long cross-country drive?
Earlier this year I did St. Louis to Fayetteville, NC with 2 kids in my car. It took me about 16 hours in one day. I was pretty sure I was gonna die. Now, I like long road trips, but 16 is pushing it. The return trip at 14 hours after about 4 hours of sleep return trip by myself led to a panic attack on a bridge. All I'm saying is be careful, and try to limit yourself to 11 or 12 hours of driving, if you must. 8 is preferable and way more enjoyable.

Turns out I'm still pretty tired. Ignore one of the references to return trip.

Or I could have read the rest of the question

Ask post: Is there a Bible for liberals?
The most common Bible used by the more progressive denominations is the New Revised Standard. The Oxford Annotated edition is what they recommended at the UCC Seminary I briefly attended.

Ask post: Saul Williams-esque
I've been using intellectual as short hand for something more engaging than what I hear on radio, i.e. the acquisition of money, and women.

As to what I'm responding to: in order 1. lyrical content 2. slam influenced presentation and 3. Reznor influences.

Thanks Mefi. This certainly gives me a large, and apparently diverse list to start looking over. You guys rock.

Ask post: Wolrd-building rpg
The game sounds like Aria. Though I don't know if freely available on the net.

Though, you should check out Nobilis, 'cause its awesome.

Ask post: What should we watch after Gargoyles?
Pirates of Dark Water, which, at 29 I'm going back to watch and its still mostly awesome. They never finished the show, so be warned.

Ask post: Help me get my Goth on.
Please, for the love of all that is, don't dress like the Crow. Please.

You could do worse than learning from the A to Z of Goth Fashion here

Seriously, Goth is/was about expressing yourself. Albeit in a dark way. Fishnets are always good for a shirt (cut out the crotch!), a pair of boots, and some tight black pants.

And muss up that hair.

Ask post: scanning printed document
With OCR scanning software like Omnipage you should be able to do it. But, OCR scanning is notoriously unreliable, or at least was the last time I used it.

I should warn you that Kinko's will likely quote you an outrageous amount of money and give you a 24 hour turnaround. (Or at least I always used to)

Ask post: Does anyone know of an audiophile/hi-fi club in the St. Louis area?
Its a little bit outside you're question, but you might want to look at Jasper's Antique Radio Museum over on Chippewa. Seemingly no website though.

Ask post: Fiction movies in which actors, portraying musician characters, actually play the instruments and/or sing?
What, no Road House? Jeff Healy played the blind slide guitar player.

Ask post: Help ID this movie.
Its been about 15 years since I've seen the movie, but I think you're talking about Graveyard Shift
posted to Ask Metafilter by khaibit at 9:36 AM on February 25, 2007 marked best answer
I want to say yes, but its seriously been a more than 10 years since I've seen it, and I was watching a bunch of similar movies at the time.

Ask post: Anything I should know about St. John's College?
Thank you all for your feedback. This has been extremely helpful. As a point of interest, I was looking at the Santa Fe campus with an eye toward doctoral studies in the future, likely in comparitive religion. Again, thank you.
