    Apparently that song is not actually "Stoned Alone" but rather "Reaction in G".

    Yay, Clocky has resumed her posting of humorous images! ^_^
  • Clocky: That image is the fuck

    You know, noticing that the womens' restroom symbol had thinner legs than the mens' restroom symbol was strange; before then they looked the same thickness to me.

    On a sidenote, given those symbols and how entrenched they are in our psyche regarding gender, I wonder how many years it'll take for them to flip-flop

    Putting my entire life savings on between 500-1000
  • Remember back in the 50s when they'd record like Elvis singing YOU AIN'T NOTHIN BUT A HOUND DOG and then they'd turn the record over and reverse it and it was all NYERP NYERP NYERP NYERP NYERP and people were all like, "That is actually the voice of Satan coming from that song."
    Heh, I got a chuckle out of those images, too. The toaster and the "superhero cape" are my favorites.

    I always liked the California practice of putting the "woman" symbol on a circular sign and putting the "man" symbol on a triangular sign. I think it makes it more easily distinguishable at a distance, since the icons themselves aren't really that distinct.

  • For the most part, DJ Krush's Stepping Stones: The Self-Remixed Best: Disc 1 is a relaxing album.

    Then you get to "Duck Chase (Remix feat. PhonopsychographDISK)" and suddenly you're listening to chiptune turntablism.

    Fiercely territorial creatures, those. Clearly, you were acting in self-defense.

    Well it turns out that my beloved Star Trek Technical Manual from 1975 (and which I received a copy of many, many years later) isn't canon. Poo. Also, I thought the inspiration for Khan's commandeered USS Reliant was based off of the Ptolemy class (it was because Nicholas Meyer, director, approved the Reliant's blueprint as it was presented to him, upside-down.) However, images from this book popped up in the Khan-Spock-Voyage Home trilogy: 


    Apparently there's a big fight over the canonicity of the original animated series. If it was how Filmation originally begged Rodenberry to make it -- that is, the standard saturday morning formula of kids in the cast running the show with some "cute bastard" (Scrappy-Doo, Orbity) then I'd agree. However, the animated series was kept entirely faithful, was actually brilliantly written and won two Emmy awards. It also showcased the first episode of the Holodeck.  So yes, it should be canon. 

    This is not to say that the tight control over Star Trek's canon is a bad thing, especially when you compare it to Star Wars. Like Boba Fett falling back into the sarlacc (three times) and Darth Maul dying (n times, one of them by Owen Lars. Owen fucking Lars.)
  • Touch the cow. Do it now.
    I used to have a Star Trek technical manual...not sure from what year, though. Wonder if it's the same one.
  • Touch the cow. Do it now.
    Yup, it is.
  • Touch the cow. Do it now.
    Also, Owen Lars was a badass, we know that. At least until he got skeletonified.

    Hotlink alert, oh yeah!
  • Doctor Who reference in Pokemon B2W2? Headcanon accepted.
    Oh, is that wrong? I'll fix it
  • Touch the cow. Do it now.
    I already looked at it...

    It's the same one. The Franz Joseph one. I got mine around 1992-3...YNTKT

    Well, I don't want to break any rules here. Anyway going through the Memory Alpha wiki has taken from starship designs to one of my favorite subjects, the Mary Sue, and then to the Wikipedia article proper. The whole concept of "Mary Sue" has been a part of 11.975MHz's process from the very beginning, as I believe in a strict separation between comic and creator, no self-indulgence allowed.  Like Wesley Crusher. Anyway, from the article -

    In an academic paper written for the UC Davis School of Law, Anupam Chander and Madhavi Sunder argue for Mary Sue as a viable character. Rather than a mere exercise in self-indulgence, Chander and Sunder see Mary Sue characters as representing "subaltern critique and empowerment," challenging a "patriarchal, heterosexist, and racially stereotyped cultural landscape" by "valoriz[ing] women and marginalized communities."

    No. NO. 

    NO. There is no justification for a Mary Sue. EVER.
  • Touch the cow. Do it now.
    Even in parody?
  • They must have misunderstood what a mary sue is?..
  • Doctor Who reference in Pokemon B2W2? Headcanon accepted.

    Even in parody?

    Parody and Satire, of course, are excepted. The Futurama episode did a very good job of doing just that, by the way
  • I am curious how one manages to think that "mary sue" means "minority character".

  • Mary Sue. Obvs a chick.

    My simple rule is if you author fiction or draw comics, you are not interesting enough to be the subject of either. Exceptions that I can think of off the top of my head:

    • Harvey Pekar
  • Touch the cow. Do it now.
    I might consider James Joyce, Franz Kafka and Alan Moore to be exceptions...

    Then again what do I know
