Love the GRRM one. As someone who lives in Hartford, that would be the most interesting thing to happen here in years. Also, please do take Waterbury off our hands.

http://www.somethingawful.com/d/news/hubbard-american-apparel.php To be honest, I haven't even read the article yet, but I'm already laughing at the Phillip Seymour Hoffman stand-in for L. Ron. Great way to insulate yourself from Scientology litigation.

Simian_Prime posted:That OSC article was the best. It's really funny to see the juxtaposition of OSC's crazy homophobia next to his creepy obsession with naked little boys fighting. Has anyone ever pointed this out to him before, and if so, has he ever given any sort of rationale/explanation for it? I've always thought it was pretty drat strange.

There's not really homophobia in the original run of the books. But he wrote a sequel series where...well, I actually don't remember if there's any homophobia in it, but it includes stuff like "child soldiers fight to recover fertilized embryos because it would be murder if they were lost" and "people training to fight an alien invasion on a space station take time out of their schedule to bravely oppose the War on Christmas and premarital sex". His homophobia is in other works, mainly this gem and his real-life rantings. But yeah, you can safely skip any of his stuff. The guy is hugely overrated. Although apparently he did do some of the writing for the first Monkey Island game so I'll give him that.

http://www.somethingawful.com/news/phone-cosmos-sucks/ While reading this, I actually had to slow down because I was so immersed in imagining it being read in Sagan's slow, melodious Cosmos narration.

The concept of a "beardman" completely cracked me up. I also loved the appendices.

http://www.somethingawful.com/news/lovecraft-star-wars/ I never really thought about it before, but Gungans and the Deep Ones do have some shocking similarities.
