Lately, Wm.™ Steven Humphrey, TV critic for The Stranger, appears infatuated with a synonym for, uh, doing it, which exhaustive research suggests the man himself may have coined several years ago. It made me laugh out loud here in his review of Point Pleasant. It made me laugh out loud two columns ago in his review of Strange Love. It made me laugh out loud three columns ago in his review of Alias. I look forward to it making me laugh out loud every week in The Stranger.
Thirteen kinds of Kryptonite--and other fictional chemical substances, from Vibranium to Balonium--at Wikipedia.
Update: It's now fifteen kinds. See comments.
I just logged in using IE and discovered that font sizes & page layout have been a stinking mess since SUPERFRANKENSTEIN went tabloid. I figured out how to fix the problem and I'll try to stay on top of it. If you see anything that looks a) completely stupid and b) probably not deliberate, please leave a comment or send me an e-mail. Thanks.

Most bizarre among the plans was one for the development of an "aphrodisiac" chemical weapon that would make enemy soldiers sexually irresistible to each other.

God's Guide To The Hot Parts--the Christian movie review site that tells us whether a given nudity warning means full-frontal Naomi Watts or just some old guy's butt--has posted the first Hot Parts Review of 2005. Looks like there's plenty wrong with White Noise:
Sexual Immorality (S)It's great to have The Hot Parts Guy back, isn't it? If he didn't exist, we'd be paying good money for movies full of lame smut that doesn't turn us on (like White Noise, apparently).

Entering 14th day without smoking... I'm cranky and unable to concentrate on anything. I want to light a cigarette just so I can put it out on my arm. After 2 wks. cold turkey I'm breaking down and chewing a piece of nicotine gum... and suddenly everything is beautiful in its own way!

Miserable Colleagues[Via] Also...
A late sight
shows that 72 percent of girls are unsatisfied
with their intimate better halfs.
Of course most of these ladies would never recite
their colleague that they are
miserable.
Using a complex arrangement of pipes and funnels we turn the junk mail that we receive into a streaming audio broadcast that can be enjoyed from anywhere on the Internet....the surprisingly listenable Spamradio!
ROBIN: Boy! That was our closest call ever! I have to admit that I was pretty scared!The greatest achievement in the history of filmed entertainment turns 39 today. ABC broadcast "Hi Diddle Riddle," the premiere episode, on January 12, 1966.
BATMAN: I wasn't scared in the least.
ROBIN: Not at all?
BATMAN: Haven't you noticed how we always escape the vicious ensnarements of our enemies?
ROBIN: Yeah, because we're smarter than they are!
BATMAN: I like to think it's because our hearts are pure.
