    Daily Drop: Ted the Cat

    Ha, finally! I asked for this one MANY months ago and even suggested going into the crowbar sequence. Thanks guys for making my dreams come true. Granted, I am not delusional enough to think they did not already have this planned without my prodding, but I still did ask.

    The Lost Lottery and Why We Want TV To Be Real

    I just want it to be pointed out that if the Lost numbers ever do hit minus the bonus ball that the Lottery would be totally screwed. If the bonus ball hits then the jackpot would be split by 9,000 people. That means this last lottery would make a jackpot of $31,000 for each player. That...

    Blockbuster Fizzles Into Bankruptcy

    I am incredibly surprised that people are sorry to see Blockbuster go. There were a couple of people who said Blockbuster was the only place to rent video games in their area. Guess what, you can blame Blockbuster for that. Their business practices were horribly anti-consumer and they crushed...

    Apocalypse Lane: Creator Q & A

    I would like to state that I was an initial supporter of AL telling people that "yes, these guys are good." No, it's ok to approach me but please keep your eyes averted. Now they are going strong with D&A which I think is consistently the best thing The Escapist has put up (aside from ZP)...

    Goodbye Apocalypse Lane

    I do recall a bunch of neigh sayers when the series started. It was a good show. Also, I am sure they learned a lot and I look forward to whatever they might do in the future. Hopefully it will be on The Escapist.

    Poll: What are the worst lyrics you've ever heard?

    Police- "Just like the ... old man in ... that book by Nabokov" Pretension and stupid at the same time. Super weak simile. All so that they could rhyme something with 'cough'. Toto- "Sure as Kilimanjaro rises like Olympus above the Serengeti" Another stupid simile. It's like they...

    Always been a fan. This episode definitely kicked it up a notch. Good work.

    Apocalypse Lane: Episode Four: Monster Date

    I am beginning to think that people who post here don't understand the point of the show. The one liners are ok, but I thought what made it good was the absurdity of the cordial monster having eaten the show's protagonists. It was a good performance on Mike the monster. You feel for him when...

    Apocalypse Lane: Episode Two: Poker Night

    Sure the sensor thing has been done a lot but what you look for is the bridge topics. I thought it was quite well done. The real trick of staying power is the interplay of the characters and not the originality of the comedy. I think you have some interesting characters going here.

    The sexual promiscuity of todays youth.

    People seem to be avoiding the obvious of why it would make a person unattractive when they have slept with so many other people. Are they carrying a disease? This is likely. Condoms or no, after 40 partners there is a good chance you carry some form of herpes. If this is sex without an...
