I fixed a bug in Double Feature Finder today.
Now all that's left is to figure out what to see after Twilight: Breaking Dawn.

Quick Draw McGraw
Quick Draw McGraw is a sheriff who fights crime with a gun, except when he puts on a different outfit and becomes El Kabong, who is not sheriff and fights crime with a guitar. That makes no sense.

King Solomon
Remember when King Solomon threatened to chop a baby in half to figure out who its real mother was? Who was the knucklehead who was like, "Oh, cool. Half a baby."

Watching Back to the Future at least once a week in high school has finally paid off.
And it's in this article I wrote for slate:
It was fun to write. More fun though, is that Bob Gale, writer/producer of the series, more than likely read the article, as evidenced here:
Dear Slate: Bob Gale Is Locked in Our Basement!
That's very exciting.

Hey Google, fuck you, you indian giver.
Apologies to my Native American readers.
Google has announced that they are deprecating their translation api:
Due to the substantial economic burden caused by extensive abuse, the number of requests you may make per day will be limited and the API will be shut off completely on December 1, 2011.
What that means is that come December, Translation Party will be no more because that translation api was doing all the work behind the scenes translating things back and forth. Are they talking about us when they mention extensive abuse? Maybe. But whatever, I'm mad now.

I wrote another article for slate
Here it is:
The five stages of Star Wars fandom grief
I just now came up with a better title: How I learned to stop worrying and not care about Star Wars.

People who like Sonic the Hedgehog like Fox News.
Don't ask me why I was looking at Sonic the Hedgehog comics on amazon, but check this out. If you look at the page for Sonic The Hedgehog Select Volume 1 and scroll down a bit, you'll see this:
That's weird. There are a couple other Sonic things on amazon that recommend Beck, Palin, and Rove too.
Sadly, I could find no evidence that people who like Mario comics like MSNBC.

Skabba the Hut lives on in marching band form
The Yale Precision Marching Band, for reasons I will never fully understand, recorded a cover of Beatdown Stomp, a song by my old band, Skabba the Hut. Here it is:
Download Yale Precision Marching Band - Beatdown Stomp
Here's the original, for reference:
(We had changed our name to The El Conquistadors by then, because we were ashamed of being a ska band.)
It's a shockingly faithful cover, they even did my trumpet solo. Also, I want to take credit for the line near the end of the song, "You ain't so smooth with my syringe in your urethra." That was all me.
