Thanks to Patrick for referring us to The Official Rock Paper Scissors Strategy Guide. Includes opening gambits, advanced strategy, etc. Wish I had studied this in third grade. Patrick also sent a smilie dictionary, which can be found here if you've always wondered what C=}>;*{)) was supposed to be.
Weird Emma has some distrubing, yet somehow amusing, bits of animation.
Colin Lingle wanted to tip us off to a few things:
One, on the topic of those quizzes mentioned in the last ish, here's one for you:
Al Gore or the Unabomber? Maybe if Ted Kaczynski was the candidate, Cheney and his bloodsuckers would have thought twice about stealing the election. Also, for anyone who is not familiar with The Smoking Gun: you are being watched. Probably. These guys are simply beyond.com. Among their many excellent features, my current favorite is the Adventures of Frank and Fritzy, irrelevant, inspired highlights from mobster tapes the feds made. The transcripts are funny, but you really have to hear the tapes. Seinfeld meets the Sopranos, for sure. Fuggedaboudit. Last, for anyone who didn't see it, Elmore Leonard's fantastic ten rules for writing. All the writers I know agree: it's gold, baby.
And Chris Molanphy puts us on to more movie debate...
Ty Burr, one of the more interesting critics at the admittedly junk-food-like Entertainment Weekly, offers a web-only commentary on the continuing debate over the merits of Spiel-brick's 'A.I.' here. My favorite quote: "[Spielberg] also goes all out toward the end with a trippy plot change-up reminiscent of '2001.' Too bad nobody goes to the movies on acid anymore."
[NB: I prefer "Spubrick" myself.}
