Meow.
Joyce and Walky!: Laugh it up, you little twerp.  That was my last Reese's Cup.


I wasn't really planning on getting USB Ravage.  I know I have a buttload of Ravages and he'd be a conspicuous absence, but look, he's a $40 2-gig flash drive.  $50 with shipping!  That's kind of retarded. 

I would sort of passive-aggressively explain this to the billion people who email me every week telling me they just found out this thing existed and contacted me right away.  "No, no, I'm not that excited.  It's neat, though!"

But then I found it had a little installable program on it.  Plug in Ravage (or Tigatron) and he'll roam the screen!  Adjust his speed and personality!  Change his name!  Click on him and watch him pounce! 

So,  yeah, I ordered one that day.  I am a fickle creature.  My Ravage arrived this afternoon.  The program will display either Tigatron or Ravage, which is nice.  You don't gotta order the other one to have him jump around your screen.  Switch back and forth to your heart's content!   It's a cheap thrill. 

No, no, wait, it isn't.

As an Ubuntu user, I was about to ask the same question.

Eh, there's always dual-booting. And it's not like I'm not used to nothing being compatible...

Costumes!

I get Walky's, but I don't get Joyce's. Or is that even Joyce? I checked Walkypedia, and it looks like that Dorothy girl from the subscription strips. Is Joyce dressed as Dorothy? Please help before my mind collapses in on itself...

Willis, I love you, but....well....

I gotta admit, I'm addicted.

If Batman isn't punching it, I am finding it hard to care....

I know I need help, but I just can't stop....

Semi-serious suggestion:

I recall a Shortpacked where you commented on the fact people kept emailing you about SWTF months and months after they've been in stores, so you should probably put up large flashing banners around Shortpacked and this blog informing people that you run a Transformers wiki, and thus, you probably know about whatever they just found out about.

Hey, once I got a bona fide link to a fantastic thing I'd actually never seen before. http://tfwiki.net/wiki/The_Night_the_Transformers_Saved_Christmas (External link!)

...I should fill out that page.

By the way, are people here watching Community? The last episode had an awesome collection of "I'm Batman" jokes.

"Old bean"

David,

The English use the phrase "old bean" the way we use "old buddy" or "old pal."

Actually, that's not quite right. More like "old chap."
