    Does Peyton Manning's mom even realize she has released a weaponized superhuman mile-high architect of crushing hope onto an unsuspecting league full of regular fans and average players--wait, turnover, gotta go. One quarter left.

    I want certified Level 11, because it is one more than 10. System certification makes a lot of sense, I think. But no more than four levels, really. Although who gets to decide which components are capable of what level of performance might have a tough job. It would have to be full-time work for dozens of people.

    Familiarity with active-voice versus passive-voice can empower stories and enthrall readers. And make writers feel like Hemingway without the booze and firearms.

    It's funnier this year, too. Detective Bell had the best dead-pan joke ever. "Why, no, before you Sherlock, we never closed a single case."

    You spelled SEAL Team 6, wrong.

    An underage jail-bait trap, for sure.

    God dammit, I can't decide wether to joke about gay driving style or straight roads. More seriously, did you have a fair for 6 straight hours, or many packed in together? Forward. Never tell a friend to go straight.

    I think only English chickens are dry regardless. If they were my enchiladas, I'd put cottage cheese, sour cream, and cream cheese inside, and wash it down with whole milk.

    Hashtaggery seems to be a curiously expressive short-hand unlimited to utility or wit or double entendre. At first, I hated the whole concept, but now I appreciate a thoughtful, humorous hashtag. #bollocks

    Sounds like an abomination. Next time use quest blanco or asadero. Goes much better with the chili gravy. Beef Enciladas, black refried beans, and a caesar salad. The only abomination would be in using low-fat, small-curd instead of full-fat, whole-delicious cottage cheese.

    I've never given up on a Formula 1 season in nineteen years, but 2013 might be the first. Red Bull are cheaters, Vettel is undeserving, and a default winner, and I despise his funtwitty face and index pointy finger. Today after qualifying in Korea, Ferrari driver Fernando Alonso made critical comments of the Pirelli crap doughnut tires, after finishing almost a second behind pole, to which the company responded, Of course Alonso is one of the great F1 drivers, so to hear such comments is disappointing and below the standards you would expect from such a champion ... I can only suggest he goes to ask the soon-to-be four-times champion [Vettel] how to get the best from the same tyres. Well that settles it. Pirelli has been giving Red Bull a reach-around all season by way of secret tire testing to go along with the team's illegal traction control system. Briatore would be proud.

    Side-by-side, how? That doesn't sound like "readily available components." Where would the power supply sit, then, and the hard drive, not to mention an optical disc player. Which should be an option anyway, but there would still have to be room for it. And cooling fans. And heatsinks for the CPU, not that I'm into copper monsters or water cooling, but I know they get pretty tall and Valve is claiming a high degree of customization ... 2.9" is just impossible ... it has to be a misprint of 9.2". But assuming it isn't, the engineering of this case could make it a fantastic piece of kit.

    Not super-interesting, but every team in San Diego's division will be on one local channel here ... an AFC West triple-header with Chiefs/Titans early, then Dallas/Denver, and finally Chargers/Raiders as late as I've ever seen a football game, 8:30pm. Tomorrow could be the day to achieve unprecedented inactivity.

    It's the dimensions of the enclosure that interest me most. Or I should say, concern me most. I look at those numbers and then look over at my old Xbox 360 and they seem about the same. No mention of a motherboard brand, either. Is there some super secret way to mount a GPU parallel to the mobo. It better come with silent liquid nitrogen cooling, or something. If they release a Steam Machine for less than $599, I will have to clean up the aftermath of a purple twinkie sharknado.

    I'll see your Masters Degree in Communication and raise you the Presidente de Mexico. The subtitles and the professor are the funniest. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wacJGdMmyKI

    Anyone play Madden? I never have, but the next-gen version of 25 is maybe finally wanting me to try a team-sport video game. They say it will individually render every blade of grass at Qualcomm Stadium. Although I hope it doesn't render every single Raiders gorilla pirate in the stands, too. Sorry if I am asking in the wrong thread.

    I still have The Little Mermaid VHS cover with the gold upright "castle" in the background. I heard it was put there by a disgruntled (dongruntled?) Disney employee. It is unmistakably a staff. Probably not on the blu-ray release that came out this week.

    The cheese-stuffed pasta shells!!? I just ate that exact thing! Like five minutes ago. Dammit, of course. See, this is what I'm talking about. When I get to be twinners on the internet, it's with frozen dinners, not regular temperament improvement.

    Oh lord, Cumberbatch! I must get Sherlock on blu-ray. I will check on that immediately after totally approving of Evangeline Lilly as an elven archer.

    Dumb and Dumber To just started filming!

    There is a very angry snake on a plane in this week's Agents of SHIELD ... perhaps even furious. Still loving Agent May more than anyone else. All stoic and badass and long legs, damn.

    Unprecedented replay value free with purchase. Can't wait.

    Why did you even answer her mail? I simply ignore crazy people, saves me a lot of trouble and valuable time. The need for familiar human contact can sometimes overpower judgment.

    I thought this was a fascinating description of the new controller. I didn't know what "haptic feedback" meant until now, which is apparently what this is:

    Wow, the Ignore Button is a fantastic feature, greatly improving thread continuity and tone. Also, I heard Killzone: Shadowfall will be a 50GB download. I think I'll buy the disc.
