IndyCar getting bitchy. Dunno who’s who, though.

Today’s lesson for IndyCar: crabs aren’t frogs.

Wow, best cabbie ever. Additional payment for moral support? ”Hairy crabs” sounds all kind of wrong.

In my head, Big Brother winning = perfect excuse for CBS to pull the plug. As in “going out on a high note.”

Ah, WSP. ETA: Shit, the recap was short. ETA2: And no Phil like in the premiere? Lame.

You gotta love when the assholes come out of the woodwork, reminding Tekkadan that they were worthless once. And that’s before they gun down Lafter. Even Mikazuki wants payback, asking Orga how far to go. Remember, “Mika” is emotionally stunted, so that’s basically him getting pissed like the others. ”Iok”? Is that how to spell that name? Homeboy is clearly the hero in his mind. I don’t think “evil” so much as “severely deluded.”

Apologies for the quick post. I banged out a blog entry about TAR30. ETA: Reality Blurred on the finale, whitewashing of Cody & Jessica starting from their original series. Probably not in Kendra territory, but still really discouraging to hear.

Pictures from last weekend's Gallifrey One. Giant LEGO Thirteenth Doctor FTW.

Yeah, of course. I was thinking about t-shirts and the like. To be honest, I don't have many "geek" shirts; the only one with an emblem is the Green Lantern insignia as part of Kyle Rayner's outfit as redesigned by Jim Lee. I'm just thinking there is no way in hell I could wear a "WAKANDA FOREVER" t-shirt in public without side-eyes. Black Panther Annual #1 came out today, with stories from Christopher Priest, Don McGregor, and Reginald Hudlin. The issue also has information on the trade paperbacks featuring Black Panther from all three writers .

I claim keyboard dyslexia. Sorry about that. Question: Is there a way for me white people me to show tangible love (re: merch) for Black Panther without looking like an appropriating tool? I jumped on that bandwagon when Priest wrote the series. Doesn't make me THE greatest T'Challa fan, but I feel pleased that he's getting so much love these days.

. . . .aaaaaaaaaand the forum is up. Fill it with your displeasure! How many more episodes are there for Outlaw Star? I think they're approaching 26, so I'm thinking we'll get a new/newish anime soon.

Okay . . . reach out with your anger. I know this isn't the best anime, but I don't want to grab Asta, pull the giant sword from his grimoire, and beat him with it. From what I understand, I may be in the minority. Also, I thought there was Engrish in the credits, but they weren't singing about "THE DEVIL." Still pretty good credits, though. Hey, at least this is a good way to kill thirty minutes before the bugfuckery of Jojo's Bizarre Adventures.

Gotta say that I agree with Roy Wood about the love for Black Panther. Okay, "Wakanda" isn't an all-purpose word like "aloha," but Roy did a great job explaining why the mvoie is relevant. I got a kick when Roy suggested white people could dress up, then specifying either Martin Freeman or Andy Serkis.

In short: Johnny and Kam try to bring themselves to orgasm in front of an admiring crowd, while the TRL people were useless. Yes, Mateo, we know you like guys. I don't think he's as articulate as a lot of candidates for the gig, if it were to become available. Basically, he's Rocky Balboa, even before all the brain damage. He did okay in his special, but he didn't have an audience.

I heard on Facebook that Ray from TAR7 had a massive heart attack. I would've posted this on media, but there was no link, and I didn't want to be the prick asking for one.

@Sandman87 . . . but he might get that hair and mustache.

Is this a heartbeat?

Ever watch The Opposition with Jordan Klepper? Basically, it's a spoof on alt-right politics; the opening credits have angry people flooding the screen, with two holding placards. The words on them change each week. Tonight: "SANCTION WAKANDA." Also, Roy Moore Jr. gave so much love for Black Panther on The Daily Show. So, yeah, Trevor Noah and Jordan are in the loop.

This week: Leroy almost dies, Joss comes closer than him. Oh, and Kam has been anointed queen after winning a Ring against a one-timer who finished third on her season. Really, wouldn't long-time fans want Tori Deal to be swapped out for Tori Hall? And you think Brad is insane now . . . Seriously, BMP has to fix endgames to prevent near-infinite stalemates. Watching Joss learn a hard lesson about underestimation from Derrick is awesome. Watching Derrick curse out the git and slam him to the ground was fun. But they went at it for an hour. Veronica got pulled after breaking a finger . . . and those two look like one of them is going at any minute. Also, it makes Veronica look like a punk bitch for getting pulled by comparison, even though that was legit. Not like she's Chet, after all. And, of course, Joss winds up losing on a technicality . . . probably because he was distracted by loved ones beckoning him towards the light. Bottom line: one day, we might get something a lot worse than a broken finger. CT didn't get to carry Johnny back and forth for an hour, slamming him into barrels. Also gotta love the aftermath. Silly Shane . . . you lost. You're not getting any money. You're never getting any money as long as you keep coming back. All that was missing was Teege ending it with "Good day, Shane. I SAID GOOD DAY." Mission: brings back memories of the Saturn missions from way back. Suspending cars above the water, ordering people to crawl on top and into them, and add pouring water? Sure, why not? Before Leroy's brush with the Reaper, there was Zach breaking windows. In retrospect, I'm thinking maybe the cars were equipped with plastic that wouldn't cut when shattered. Otherwise, Zach is endangering everybody's lives. Then Leroy falls and almost dies. Probably not, but it looked bad. And Leroy is a nice dude, even if he's up Johnny's butt most of the time, so that sucks. And then Johnny freezes Cara Maria out of the Troika. Of course. And Devin gives him shit next week. Like Johnny will be inconvenienced. He's gone two Challenges without a win, so BMP is going to help him out a lot. ETA: There is no Chad, only Chet. And is anybody giving a fuck about keeping up with which players have money?

I found more speculation. I think Johnny is napping in the mansion (or whatever) where the season will take place as I type this. Sadly, this is a more realistic list, and that means no Coral. I knew that could never happen.

This puts a smile on my face: Well-Strung (the quartet, not just Trevor & Chris) bang out TAR music.

Yeah, which means we're not getting Hunter. Great concept: T'Chaka and wife adopt white baby who survived a plane crash, and he grows up to lead the kindasorta secret police of Wakanda. Hobbies: Smoking and being a bit of a bastard.

Dang, that's what I get for not being that quick. Needless to say, Epic Voice Guy (or whatever he's known as) is brutal. The title: Warner Bros Presents Joss Whedon's Zack Snyder's Justice League: Part One ... Of One. I didn't think Suicide Squad sucked that hard . . . better than MoS and BvS, with Wonder Woman looming high above the entire DCEU.

I'd ship Shuri with Spidey. Nothing against . . . .dang . . . the girl Zendaya was playing. You know which one. It would be a weird deal . . . this Peter's tech (suit, webbing, etc.) is mostly from Tony Stark, but he's in a genius school. Well, genius for most of the world, anyway. Been reading lots of articles in the wake of the opening weekend. CBR speculates who would be the villain in the inevitable follow-up movie. Let it be on record that I really, really, REALLY want Achebe. Just have the core concept of an amoral shit-disrupter in there. He wouldn't have to be that oddly ghastly, and I'll understand if Daki doesn't make the leap.

I'm sorry . . . .that guy was a governor?!? Fuck me . . . Not the majority. Also, I'd like an independent agency to compare and contrast the "presidents," and determine which is the "best." Maybe the Swiss? Obvious, Alec Baldwin would be eligible, as well as the guy from The President Show. I erased unwatched episodes of that because that actor did way too good a job.
