All right - someone with a little imagination. From our friends over at Woot.com - a plug I can get behind probably because it doesn't benefit his nibs.

GRRM Avoids Stereotypes(!)
Yep, that's right. I'm back from vacation (not from this....from my real job. You know, the one that pays me.) And I got to take a gander at this one:

Sports n' Retorts
I just love that video Ray--it says it all. I'm so glad you took time off from the truck stop glory holes you frequent to post something as fun as that. Just looking at The Bearded Ham's workload on his blog makes me think 5 years is about right.
Let's see...hmmmm, I started these books in roughly 1998 when I had no kids; now it looks like I may ( Read more... ) -
Paul and Storm Renew My Faith in Humanity, Or Something
You know, as of late, Pesci and I have been discussing the future of FTBG. Considering GRRM's output rate, we realized that we might be writing this blog for another ten years until the last book is out. Ten years. I mean, at some point, I'm going to run out of parody scripts, or snotty remarks, or cocaine. And then where will we be? (If you ( Read more... ) -
It's Like I Don't Even Have to Try Anymore
There are a litany of jokes coming to mind here, but I don't even know where to begin. (Probably somewhere around "he is wearing a dark purple embroidered waistcoat.") So I'm turning this one over to our reader(s). Take a gander at this piece, and choose your favorite moment:

Light Reading, Heavy Breathing
Some interesting reading to throw your way today, my friends. First is Ned Vizzini's LA Times article "Game of Thrones": George RR Martin Fights the Genre Wars. Partially a cloying praisesong for GRRM, and part an exercise in pop lit allusions, it deals with the idea of mainstream acceptance of fantasy lit, as well as genre conventions and moving ( Read more... ) -
What's the Point?
What is up you bastards? Things have been a little crazy for old Pesci lately. If you’re looking for some action at the window I have the inside track on a 7 year old softball team. Bet the Maroon Dolphins and Uncle Joe will take care of you.
Right now I am gearing up for the big NATO summit in the Chicago. All the stinkies are in town ready to ( Read more... ) -

A Pre-Flo Rida History Lesson
That's right, Liotta has to head to the land of apple bottom jeans, boots with the fur, and all the homeboys lookin' at....well, me, of course. (What, you think Uncle Ray don't truck with the club scene? Pssh!)
But while I'm in the land of coke and retirement communities, I thought I might pass this bit along to you. Kelly DeVries, Professor of ( Read more... )
