Today IS a good day!

David Duchovny, why won't you love me.

Through three cheese trees three free fleas flew. While these fleas flew, freezy breeze blew. Freezy breeze made these three trees freeze. Freezy trees made these trees' cheese freeze.

Bean seas.

Today is the bee's knees of a great day!

It IS a great day!

Today will be a great day.

From Edward Norton: Call Trump's Bluff "I’m no political pundit but I grew up with a dad who was a federal prosecutor, and he taught me a lot. I’ve also sat at a fair amount of poker tables with serious players, and l’ll say this: I do not think Trump is trying to ‘make his base happy’ or ‘layi...

Crap. So all my posts in this thread are disqualified? That seems excessive.

However, I've reviewed the thread, and even without my posts, there is still no winner. I don't know if that's heartening because the thread is secure or depressing because I've made no difference at all. *sigh*

Even with a low battery, we deliver high-octane nerdy goodness! There’s speedrunning news from Aidan! There’s movie reviews! The guys try out the new Aidan soundboard! We have plenty of all-new, listener-submitted questions from R2 on the Pod-O-Matic and some terrific New Year’s input from our great...

Most Congressional Republicans supporting Trump now fall into three categories, I think. 1. True believers. 2. Those in red enough districts that they fear "the base" turning on them. Loeffler and Purdue are here with the immediacy of the runoffs. 3. 2024 presidential hopefuls. People like...

Query: huh?

Gross ewe.

Sorry, akiva... #5 is not that. It's also not Shawshank Redemption or It or even The Greatest Showman or The Green Mile. I'm really baffled.

I suspected it was a recent-ish movie about flight attendant training that I had never seen. Googling that phrase worked for me.

Enroll at the University of Nebraska!

It's time for a whole NU you!

New yew!

I know I've seen #5, and #8 feels incredibly familiar. I have not seen 4 or 6 at all.

As you will hear when it comes out, I didn't have the charger for my laptop, so we got through our recording with just minutes to spare. But that means there was not enough battery left to edit and publish. My wife is bringing the cord home to me tonight, so hopefully, I can get this done and out qu...

Good morning to all!

Rope-a-dope!

That's treason, right? Using your office to pressure people into breaking the law to overturn an election... that's treason, isn't it? I mean, I hate jumping to conclusions, but this seems really treasony.

That is fantastically nerdy! I'm impressed.

Good good morning!

If not a god, demigods make good heroes for the game.

Love Pele! Haven't looked at Maui yet... Thank you!

Now THAT is what I'm talking about!

I'm taking a break from this thread.

Assphincter says what?

Leib-Olmai The unforgiving forests in Lapland yielded no mercy. If the freezing weather didn’t get you, the beasts that hid under the icy foliage would. This was no place for the faint of heart. Even the brave hunters of the Sami people knew they needed all the help they could get, especially, when ...

Never!

Siberian deities have caught my interest, but there is so little available. I can find two dozen websites for any given god that just copy/pastes the same tantalizingly vague information found on Wikipedia. Dunne Enin - a warrior goddess that ruled over/defended clan territory. Anapel - Known as &qu...

CNN just gave me this headline, and it amuses the shit out of me:

With Trump a no-show, Mar-a-Lago guests left to party maskless with Rudy Giuliani and Vanilla Ice

Yes!!

And for me, it's the jumps and the balance things... bits where the kick across so that they can tap one foot with the opposite hand. They intentionally unbalance themselves there and have to get that foot down and back under themselves before they fall over. It's so damn sophisticated.

The great old ones.

Happy new year!!

I knew these robots were getting good, but I had no idea. This is incredible!

The alicanto is a luminous bird from Chilean myth. Alicantos are large, golden birds with metallic feathers. Some say that the precious metals they eat make up the sheen of their plumage. Their eyes glow the same colour as their feathers, and they are bright enough that it is said that they do not c...

Dave and I are thinking of making Godball less white and eurocentric by introducing gods from other mythologies in our hase set, instead of passing them off to some future imagined expansion set if we were ever so lucky. This week, I got to play using a totally badass Sedna deck that Dave made, and ...

Lighting up ancient Hawaiian legends, Pele the goddess of fire, lightning, wind, dance and volcanoes is a well-known character. Otherwise known as ka wahine ai honua, the woman who devours the land, Pele’s home is believed to be Halemaumau crater at the summit of Kilauea, one of the world’s most act...

Same video, just embedded.

A Mongolian creation myth: In the beginning, an infinite expanse of water covered the entire universe. Quormusta Tengri sent Galbingaa bird, which had a lifespan of thirty thousand years. In every ten thousand year, Galbingaa bird would lay one egg. Hovering over the never-ending body of water, Galb...

I didn't view it as Brad Pitt being some sort of super-stuntman. The Bruce Lee scene, to me, seemed more of a commentary on how overhyped Lee was... that he was ultimately more flash and camera work than an actual fighter. Similarly, I saw the defeat of the Manson Family as just a quirk of fate. The...

Dragon and water god. Foolish and impetuous. Gong Gong decided to fight Zhù Róng to determine which of them is more powerful. After several days, they fell out of heaven, and Gong Gong had lost. Humiliated, he attempted to kill himself by running headfirst into Mount Buzhou. A huge chunk fell off, t...

One story from the Chinookan describes Coyote's attempts to catch salmon. After repeated failures, Coyote defecates and his own feces begin to insult him. Eventually, his feces stop insulting him and offer detailed advice not only for catching the salmon, but also for preparing the fish once he has ...

This myth also involves Coyote discovering the first horse, who happens to be his own grandson. It begins with Coyote's grandson being sent by his mother to go see Coyote and before the grandson leaves he is explicitly told not to enter a cave that lies between his mother's house and Coyote's house....
