We’ve got some interesting talk tonight, folks! About feminism. And also, a terrible movie. And cool pets! Also, cool pets fighting! WARNING: Tonight’s episode may contain one or more cliche spoilers for the movie Olympus Has Fallen. If you’re concerned, don’t be. That movie sucks.
QUESTIONS:
What unusual pet would you like to own? — Craig

This is the web-comic I was talking about. I was wrong, it was from Shortpacked!

110 is binary for 6, not 5. 101 would be 5.
You know you can just say “from the UK” rather than the “originally from Scotland but now in Slough or somewhere” bit right?
In the fight between Tiger and Shark my vote goes for T-Rex with a machine gun.
Indeed it is… I stand corrected.
Fallout: New Vegas – Oh you’re playing Old World Blues! Super silly!
R.I.P.D. – See my tweet yesterday I posed about this movie Tony.
Women vs Tropes in Video Games – I didn’t expect it to be THE PERFECT LENSE ON OUR CULTURE. But it’s creating debate and that was the point. She never claimed to be the best journalist ever.
Yeah, I don’t think I was expecting any kind of perfection, either. Nor do I think I expected her to be an exceptional journalist. Really, I didn’t think it equaled the quality of her previous work.
Frog: Double word score and a cookie for the obscure M*A*S*H refrence.
I’m not sure how we define “unusual” for pets. I’ve known people with chinchillas, ferrets, hedgehogs, ducks, various types of birds (including vultures and owls but that was a guy who did bird shows at Ren Faires), scads of different reptiles and even arachnids/bugs… I never knew anybody who had a monkey, but Pippi Longstocking had Mr. Neilson and he seemed nice but ultimately more trouble then he was worth.
Yeah, my sister had a hamster that was about this big.
Also…
How do you know tribbles don’t excrete?
Tiger vs Shark –
Tiger wins.
Let me explain.
There is a variety of shark called a “Tiger Shark”.
But there are no “Shark Tiger”.
Therefore, Tiger wins.
Also…
Sister Christian? I didn’t realize you were Night Ranger fans.
Warehouse 13, H.G. Wells: The actress who plays H.G. Wells is Jaime Murray. Also you really think she’s all that? I think the last story arc featuring her was pretty weak. Not sure if she get’s better; we’ve been watching the show on Netflix and just got to the bit with the Minoan Trident.
Defiance: Haven’t seen it, kind of feeling meh about it, though slightly interested to see SyFy doing actual sci-fi again.
Batman vs Superman: If the fight is a spur of the moment sort of thing, Superman. If there’s any prep time involved, Batman.
Olympus has Fallen: Wow, Tony’s review makes me kind of want to watch this train wreck.
Caprica: I was the apparently the third person in the world who thought Caprica was ok and was disappointed that it got canceled before it really got around to doing anything interesting.
Frogs: I have a feeling that I’m missing some sort of cultural reference that Tony’s making here and ya know, I’m fine with that. :p
I would pay money to see Tony shave a tiger…
Tiger vs Shark: Shark is a fish, felines eat fish, ergo Tiger wins.
