He had to pay for that fancy SGI file system tool somehow.

I bet half the houses that have these credos out front have forgotten they're there.

One of the many reasons I say that I enjoy playing games but am not a "gamer."

Also not a young man, though, so make of that what you will.

That trip? Wicked long, Penelope. Wicked long.

What is even the point of a fly by night action movie if it doesn't show boob? That's the whole genre.

"But I really really want it to be true" is apparently extraordinary evidence now.

The early 21st century is to the sciences what the early 20th century was to politics: dimwits standing on decades of prior work and believing themselves giants.

That's Greg. Greg still hunts and pecks on the keyboard.

The flashback is justified by the number of mistakes you see people making in the next episodes. Sure! Embody the eyeball! What's the worst that could happen?!

Loved this when I saw it. A worthy addition to the canon.

He could probably do 3-touch on a phone keypad if the buttons were big enough.
