Originally, I posted this seven years ago, during Survivor: Heroes Vs. Villains. (Survivor: Game Changers)

Found this via Facebook. Apparently, some puppies do not read the instruction manual.

I meant "answer" profiles like I did with Match . . . say I like 'em, maybe send a message. I can do that in OKC, but I send a message in the form of an IM rather than a letter. Does that make sense? Kinda wish I could go out and meet a woman, but I'm not really into crowd scenes. I did a group date thing at New York Comic Con. I circled around a dozen names, and I thought I did well. Nobody picked me. That wasn't a total shock, but it was frustrating.

Really? REALLY?!? I can't imagine. I mean, I'm guessing he had shorter hair and was less buff before he became Hercules. As somebody who watched too much GI Joe, I would've been happy with Jeremiah-as-bad guy until the finale, and then he'd turn the tables and reveal that having Cadmus run amok was part of the plan. Duke's plan, that is. Okay, it would be J'onn's here, but he'd have to be knocked into another coma first.

In case you didn't notice, [AS] fiddled with their schedule. Mike Tyson Mysteries at 12:15, no Space Ghost: Coast To Coast from Monday-Thursday, and The Boondocks runs at 12:30. Bad news: It's the fourth season. Avoid. Avoid like the plague.

I tapped out north of 200 questions. I have 99.6 percent, whatever that entails. And I can't seem to "answer" a woman's profile. All I can do is "like" it or send her a message. Still not willing to pay for better service at OKCupid, though. ETA: Has anybody here used PlentyOfFish.com? I know it's free, but the setup looks bare-bones. ETA2: For the heck of it, I looked up the last e-mail I got from OKC regarding profiles. I click a link to a lady in NJ . . . and it turns out she's in the Philippines. Also, she's transgender, which is a little complex for me.

Trevor does a decent Dubya. Nowhere near as good as Jon's, though.

Great interview. Would not have been surprised if the Dalai Lama ("Da-LIE"? Never heard it like that, John) joked about skipping reincarnation for Doctor Who-style regeneration. Also, wasn't there a Mr. Show sketch based on an American kid being a DL-type figure?

I am 112 questions into OKC's thing, and I am 99.1 percent complete. This is annoying to me, even if the benefits would be worth it.

Oy. Very "Ripped From The Headlines" this week. I won't elaborate my thoughts on that. And I'm on Snapper's side, which is something you're not supposed to say about a total curmudgeon. If you're in that line of work, there are rules that have to be followed. If he had tried to set Kara on fire, not only would I not have blamed him, but I'm sure Cat would have approved. I know Supergirl is . . . well . . . Supergirl . . . but pushing on a ship really, really, REALLY hard to keep it from going Voyager? So if there's a deadly meteor storm, would she push the Earth out of the way? Hi, James! I know he couldn't have saved Kara. Dunno what his purpose is, aside from giving the thumbs-up to Winn when he's with Lyra. I'm thinking she's going to bite his head off when they consummate. Or impregnate him. Can't blame Alex for going off quarter-cocked. Also can't blame J'onn for testing her. I mean, he could have read her mind, but that wouldn't have been fun to watch. I thought that about Supergirl carrying Lena. Way to stoke the flames, show!

Forgot about those. I'm thinking Nami used her Clima Tact to make it rain candy. The gem stuff? Meh. At least we don't have as long to wait for canon as before, in contrast to the "SAVE THE FLAG!!!" arc. Almost forgot about the Actual Raccoon Dog That Is Also Magical. Watching Sanji try to fulfill his desires through it reminded me of Team Rocket dealing with a Ditto. I'm up to Volume 81 of the manga, and we're getting human-like animal creatures en masse. Here? Unless it's Chopper, a reindeer that ate the Human-Human Fruit, it's just weird.

I'm up to posting old recaps of The Gauntlet on my blog. Rather than come here every time I do that, I'll just leave this link. I'd like to know what you guys think. Thanks to people like you, I had to see Theo's stuff under the shorts. I'll have to check to see if the blogs can also be retrieved from Archive.org. Sarah had the only consistent one. As much as I like Norman and Steve, their grammar needed so much work. And didn't Mike also have one with even less grasp of the English language?

I'm hoping this show proves to be for Yassir Lester what Lip Sync Battle has been for Chrissy Teigen . . . a nice step forward after Snack Off. At least the agita isn't as present as with Timeless, though history shouldn't be slowly updated. And I have to question why the black history professor would go back to Revolutionary America, since he's . . . y'know . . . black. Also, did anybody back then wear glasses besides Benhamin Franklin? So Paul Revere's daughter will be a regular? I'm good with that, though I wonder if she'll find out she can do so much better than Daniel. Then again, I never questioned why the Historical Babes would stick with Bill & Ted.

Shit, I typed "dead" when I meant "dad." And I wonder why the writer didn't bring up Darrell and his two kids.

When I start reposting recaps from The Inferno, you'll see that I didn't notice Piggy. And I looked. She wasn't as obvious as Theo . . . um . . . celebrating after Sarah took out Irulan in the Gauntlet. I watched, I posted about it, and then everybody else was all, "Dude, did you see what he was packing?!?" Also, I remember Colin blogging about a heavy group drug trip during BOTS. Probably explains why BMP never went back to Jamaica. It would also explain why Eric Nies was bearable back then. Jonny Moseley? He was always like that.

For a guy that hates being forgotten, Foxy managed not to remember Franky. I know this is a weird world, but a big dude in blue hair and a bathing suit that is also a cyborg would make an impression. Perhaps the characters forget the filler Another reason why this world is wacky . . . nobody screams at the guy that's an animated skeleton. You're at a spa, you're getting a massage, and then the walking friggin' dead asks you where to get the good milk. How would you not shit yourself in fear?

"THE FUTURE IS NOW THANKS TO SCIENCE!!! GERMAN SCIENCE!!!!!" Come on, am I the only one who thought of Clement? I'm guessing we'll get Caesar's backstory next week. I wonder if he was born before his grandfather died. In the end, that guy looked really old. I mean, getting halved can probably put years on anybody, but I wouldn't be surprised if harmon/ripple can slow aging. Wondering if we'll ever see the sword Jonathan received. Perhaps Speedwagon has it in a case somewhere. "Let me get this right . . . the dead guy gave Grandfather the sword with the word 'LUCK' on it, and then he put in a 'P' on it in blood, making 'PLUCK.' Am I right?" "Well, when you say it like that, it does sound weird." ETA: Two more things. First, I have to give love to the narrator. Always pops in unexpectedly to convey drama and the occasional bit of physics. Secondly, if anybody is curious about the entire version of "Roundabout," here it is. While I find Yes to be soothing enough not to fast-forward through the closing credits, I can't make much sense of the lyrics.

I meant she's the least-damaged of the long-time veteran women, as well as at least half of the guys. Even though Laurel is basically Butterface Rachel with actual talent, I think she's only on her fifth season. And I don't blame Sarah for reacting the way she did. Johnny probably gets Hannah to start his car every morning. Fuck him, and fuck BMP for putting in that twist in the finale. At least have Teege drop a few hints during the course of the season. I could go with drug testing. Shit, weed out those that flunk without any mention, like some people saw bits of Piggy in the first episode of The Inferno.

This is coming off the Johnny thread . . . To review: the golden calf (allegedly) takes meds to stay awake, and he is fined. The least-damaged female veteran blows the whistle, and we might not see her again. That's probably for the best for Sarah, because I don't think anything short of a chop to Johnny's windpipe would be healthy for her. But if that's true, BMP is more lowdown than we imagined. Seriously, they don't have much of a problem bringing back Camila, and she's Section 8 at best. What, do they put her in a straitjacket and keep her in the basement between Challenges?

Saw it yesterday before Logan. Great surprise. I don't remember Stan Lee in there, though. Still awesome. Wade needs super-speed and fewer accessories.

I'm watching this like I did with Westworld. . . . not as closely as I should. It's fun, but I DVR it and let it sit for a few days. I don't pay that much attention. For instance, I didn't know Oliver was played by (copy & paste) Jemaine Clement. David is lucky Oliver didn't sing about "Business Time" . . . or was that the other guy? You'd think that David and Syd would have a system in case she swapped with somebody else. Didn't notice the eye closeups. "The Eye" has a question mark, which is fitting, but why is Syd represented by a cat? I should keep track of powers. With Eye, I'm thinking he can change/alter perceptions. Or maybe he can influence inanimate objects . . . like how the bullets didn't nick him once. Not like telekinesis . .. maybe he can "talk" to those. Man, now I want DC Comics to work on a Doom Patrol pilot based on the Grant Morrison run.

1. "You will not be the New X-Men. You are not New Mutants, even though you really are new mutants. I dub thee . . . ALPHA FLIGHT!!! No, that's the perfect mix of vague and stupid." 2. Forgot about those guys. They might as well have been wearing all red, and not because they got bloodied. At least the son died secure in knowing his listening device would be copped by Laura.

No tears for me, but it is good. Damn good. Deadpool good, though I fear we might get rated-R superhero movies for the sake of having them. If Jackman and Stewart get acclaimed in 2018, I won't be too surprised. If Ryan Reynolds and Deadpool can get Golden Globe nominations, why not Old Man Logan and Really Old Professor X? As much crap as people lay upon Marvel for selling their mutants to Fox before the birth of the MCU, that might have been for the best here. We might've gotten a three-hour flick if the creators directly adapted Mark Millar's "Old Man Logan" opus. So much dystopia there. Wanna know what was up Logan's grey ass there? Inbred Hulks. Here, we have Hit-Girl With Claws, Professor Timebomb, Budget Cyborg, Sabretoothier (X-24) and Old, Old Age, and it works a lot better. Once again, a Millar story gets improved upon (see Captain America: Civil War; in the original miniseries,Tony Stark traded steel for pure straw). I think Logan clocked out near 200 years in the end. I'm thinking he and Creed were in their 20s-30s when they fought in the (American) Civil War. Also: how weird is it that we had a trilogy where the quality went from crap to decent to holy FUCK? And thanks, Fox, for putting the Deadpool bit before the movie. Wade trying to change in a phone booth? Classic. As was the victim screaming for help for two minutes before he got killed. Really hoping Deadpool #2 (that is the title, right?) can follow the original. BTW, I'll understand if this last paragraph gets moved.

Darn. Half a day too late. It's a lot cheerier than the actual movie. All that's left is the Honest Trailer, and they have to call it An Actual Suicide Squad.

Question for those who remember The Ruins: Had Darrell not pummeled Brad into the following week, would he have been a contender for a spot with the final Champions team? I think he was acting like a dick, but he was probably better than the Axis of Ass (Evan, Johnny, Kevin) and their accomplices (Derrick, Susie). Seriously, I've repressed most of my memories of that season.
