Cowboy Bebop is so damn good.

MA17 said...

I'm surprised the anime industry didn't just shut down after Bebop came out, since it had obviously served its purpose.

Caleb said...

That's not how industry works.

MA17 said...

I'm still surprised.

I thought the industry's chief weapon was surprise. Surprise and fear...fear and surprise...it's TWO weapons are fear and surprise. And ruthless efficiency. It's THREE weapons are fear, surprise, and ruthless efficiency.

And an almost fanatical devotion to the Pope. Their FOUR, no, amongst their weaponry..are such elements as fear, surprise.... I'll come in again.

MA17 said...

I'm still surprised.

PERIOD.

_J_ said...

Cowboy Bebop is what the anime industry needed to produce to justify its existence.

Everything else was for profit. Except FLCL. That exists to give idiots something to say "get it" about.

"NO! Don't you get it? When he sees the girl the horn in his head becomes hard and he's embarassed! Get it? GET IT?!?"

"NO! Medical Mechanica wants to iron out the wrinkles in people's brains. So the building is a giant iron! And the wrinkles in our brain are where information is stored! They want to remove it! Get it! GET IT?!?!?!"

"NO! The main character constantly says 'Nothing ever happens here.' despite all the things that happen. Get it? GET IT?!?!"

If one were to set an alcoholic beverage on fire the alcohol would be what burns. So the beverage itself would no longer contain alcohol or would contain significantly decreased levels of alcohol.

Which is why a Flaming Moe doesn't make any sense. Or, rather, a person could not get drunk off of a Flaming Moe except in the sense that one can get drunk on anything if one drinks enough of it.

Adam, if you could shrink that proof down I can put it in the header of the blog. Right now it is a tad bit too big. If the font was smaller and it was two columns rather than one column that would be awesome.

MA17 said...

What dimensions are you looking for?

_J_ said...

It needs to fit into the "Everyone is a Sith" header box. That is a little over 700 pixels wide at 72 pixels/inch.

So something thereabouts. It would be good if the picture was more wide than high so as to minimize scrolling.

MA17 said...

Getting warmer?

Close Encounters of the 3rd Kind 30th Anniversary edition comes out tomorrow.

Some of you enjoy that film.

_J_ said...

That is perfect and wonderful size.

_J_ said...

That image is awesome.

I think we need something which more solidly links dealing with assumptions and personhood.

MA17 said...

I agree.

Caleb said...

"I thought to myself, 'I deal in absolutes.'"

Sith!

Now after visiting the page above, and this page, I feel less intelligent as before. Sorry United Nations, I can't donate any more rice.

MA17 said...

"I feel less intelligent as before."

Surely that's not possible.

MA17 said...

It must be fun to write those kinds of webpages. Just crank up the font size, set the justification to "center", and let loose with whatever you can think of, just so long as it doesn't make any sense.

DEF LEPPARD THE ANTICHRIST

REVELATION 13:2 - And the beast which I saw was like a leopard, and his feet were like those of a bear, and his mouth like the mouth of a lion. And the dragon gave him his power and his throne and great authority.

THE ANTICHRIST WROTE ARMAGEDDON IT, THIS MUCH IS PROVEN

ON THROUGH THE NIGHT

DEF LEPPARD DRUMMER ONLY HAS ONE ARM = PAW LIKE BEAR, COINCIDENCE? AND A DRAGON

Here is my favorite part of that slop:

"First of all we are talking about a FICTIONAL movie about FICTIONAL characters in a FICTIONAL world practicing a FICTIONAL religion."

When Christians start discounting things which are "fictional" I have to giggle a bit.

Caleb said...

Fiction is where genious lies.

_J_ said...

Indeed. Anyone can cite facts.

Fabricating facts takes an entirely more useful skillset.

Roscoe said...

Well of course.. Citation isn't work. it's just pointing. Divination, if you will. Cantrip junk.

Fabrication? That's major creation, there. The divine work of the heavenly seals. At least 5th level spells.

_J_ said...

And then once a plan is devised for fighting the seals Mikey comes along and Mikes the seals and we all die to Grand Vizier of Chaos.

Roscoe said...

My God, those seals ALWAYS got Miked, too!

Roscoe said...

BY ALL THAT IS FRACKING HOLY.,....



So I just saw that Scott Pilgrim 4 came out. By way of a godsdamned spoiler.

WhoopDee. I hate everyone of you Sith-Looking louts.

_J_ said...

Scott Pilgrim 4? Yey! Another volume through which I can live vicariously.

And, yes, Mikey cannot help but Mike seals.

Caleb said...

Could you photoshop togeter a rake man?

_J_ said...

Easily.

Do you need one?

Caleb said...

Yes. There is a band of gigantic carpenter ants destroying Cincinnati! You're our only hope.

_J_ said...

I can't use photoshop to create things in reality. My photoshop'd rake man would be confined to a digital form.

Cincinnati is doomed.

Caleb said...

Hume!

Roscoe said...

Go cart your damned ass into Chimps, and steal my copy, you muppet!

_J_ said...

I sense hostility. Hostility will drive people away.

Also, you pre-ordered it and Chimp has it in stock?

I DO need to go steal your copy.

_J_ said...

Democratic debate is on.

Take a shot whenever a candidate says "americans" or "american people".

_J_ said...

Hillary prefers Diamond and Pearl.

Hillary loves her pokemon.

There is a clip on Youtube of Guster performing G Major at IU Bloomington.

I want to go to another Guster concert soon.

MA17 said...

I forgot about that. Turns out Guster was here a few months ago. I found out when there was a thing in the campus paper the next day.

_J_ said...

A tragic missed opportunity.

_J_ said...

Apropos something caleb said last week...

“We are respectful of the internal processes and decisions of the Americans,” he said, “but we also demand respect for Mexico and for Mexicans.”

If the President of Mexico refers to people from the United States as "Americans" and people from Mexico as "Mexicans" and not also "Americans" then I think people from the United States taking the word "Americans" as their own is, if not justified, then at least universally acknowledged.

Caleb said...

The President of Mexico recieves a minor demerit for improper diction.

_J_ said...

It is so recorded.

Roscoe said...

MUPPET!


MUUUUUUUPPPPPPETTTTTTTTTTT!

_J_ said...

Why am I incapable of playing Through the Fire and the Flames?

Why am I so worthless and crapheaded?

MA17 said...

Which difficulty?

Because if it's just expert you can't do, then that's ok. You are among worthless crapheaded friends.

_J_ said...

Expert, yeah.

There are a number of crapheads on youtube who can play it. And I am no worse than they are as individuals. So why do they have the ability to play it while I do not?
