Robin: Hey, Batman -- can we talk?
Batman: Of course, old chum! What's on your mind?
Robin: It's the puns Batman. You have to stop with the puns.
Batman: But puns are an essential part of our operation! And they're fun!
Robin: Sure, sure, but you've used up all the good ones, Bruce. The glory days of telling Mr. Freeze that you've "stopped him cold" are long gone.
Batman: I've still got what it takes! What about the other day when I foiled the Joker's plans and said "Looks like I'll be having the last laugh!"
Robin: Yeah, that was funny. The first time. But the Bat-computer has you on record as saying those exact words no less than 45 times in the past three years.
Batman: It's a classic!
Robin: Maybe it'd be okay if you stuck with the tried and tested quips, but you're mangling the English language lately, man. Like the other day when you punched Harvey Dent in the mouth and apologized for his "two-othache"! That one doesn't even make sense unless it's written down!
Batman: I see what's happening here... you've been brainwashed to work against me! Well, Robin -- it's time to clip your wings!
Robin: You said that to the Penguin 4 months ago. Twice, because of all the explosions. Then you asked if he heard you and he said he would've laughed if it was funny and then you stabbed him with a batarang.
huh.

Where do you get off trying to stifle my right to express myself? Where do you get off pretending to be offended by something half a week later? Perhaps your own self-righteousness is affecting your real-life relationships as well, so you take it out on me, on your “tumblelog” or “microblog.” But that’s fine, cause I don’t mind. You have the right to freedom of expression, and I...
Notes on "Night at the Museum 2: Battle of the...
Well, that was certainly a movie. I think.
Obviously these notes contain spoilers, so if you don’t want NatM2:BotS ruined, you shouldn’t read this. Also, if you don’t want the film ruined, you shouldn’t see it. Let the movie live in your imagination forever untainted by reality. Let it soar, and sing, and something else with “s” at the beginning for...

britishisms:
There aren’t as many TV channels in the UK. Cable TV is almost ubiquitous over here, which almost guarantees a minimum of around 12 channels (I think). In the UK, your basic TV + aerial will net you 5 channels. Two of those are public channels, funded by the government2, and as such do not broadcast adverts.
The BBC(channels 1 and 2) is not funded by the government, but by payment...
Wile E. Coyote Writes Home To His Mom.
Mother, this letter arrives bearing a simple task: start using my real name on the delivery slips. The mailman is having trouble tracking me down. I would have thought this impossible since I am the only coyote for miles, but one cannot account for the inadequacies of the USPS, and the fact that my life appears to be a living testament to Murphy’s Law.
William is my name. You may recall...
