Kristen Bell In Slave Leia Outfit


Hey, this Slave Leia s**t never gets old, does it? It's like the gift that keeps on giving. Here's a great idea: let's get that special record Carl Sagan shot out into space 30 years ago for the aliens with the best of what Western Civilization had to offer and add the Slave Leia meme to it. That, and a couple of episodes of "House."

Woman Claims She'd Never Be Married If It Wasn't For Engaging In Traditionally Male Geeky Passtimes

Westbrook likes to say that she never would have married if it weren't for gaming. She and her husband Kevin Morrell were set up by mutual acquaintances, and on their first date she mentioned she liked "Star Wars" comics. He, a gaming enthusiast, suggested watching a movie about "swords and guns." They immediately hit it off and they were soon gaming together.

Well, it's all rather better than EHarmony, I'll tell you that much. Every question on EHarmony is like, "are you passive or are you aggressive?" You get like 250 questions like that. Then you get an e-mail notice that says "Dwight from Newark" would very much like to date you. Then Dwight e-mails you. You read Dwight's profile, and he says he's looking for "no game players, time wasters, or phoney-baloneys." You decided to pass on Dwight, but chicken out from e-mailing back to tell him so. Then Dwight e-mails you back 4 or 5 times with subject headings like, "ARE YOU THERE?????????" It's awesome.

Is Jughead Jones Gay?

A Scans Daily poster cites this cartoon as proof Jughead is gay:


I will once again turn your attention to the definitive answer to the question, as delineated by the Archie Comics website:

It seems that from the very start, in his very first appearance in PEP COMICS #22, Jughead hasn't had much interest in girls. How could he even have time? There's too much food to eat and too many naps to take!

Of course, this could just be a brilliant example of "spin" on Archie Comics's part. But it makes sense to me.
