Here's how it is. The New York Times got used up, so we went out and scripted a whole new internet of blogs. Some rich and flush with the new servers, some, not so much. The central blogs, them as formed the wingnuttosphere, wrote propaganda to bring all the internet under one rule. Some idiots tried to fight it: among them, myself. I'm Kid Zoom, Teen Kolumnist and mascot of Wonkette. She's a mommy-blog, Wordpress class. We've got a good crew:
Ancient fossil-like nerd object here. And when I say ancient, I mean really ancient, as in my high school nerd years were over prior to the launch of the final moon mission.

Me, I liked Firefly, except I kept thinking Brownshirts every time they mentioned Browncoats, which gave the whole We Are Rebels Out to Take Down the Govt thing kind of an odd spin.
Kid, I am 57 and even I can make WoW jokes and Minecraft references, and I love Assassin's Creed. Face it: nothing is safe from the unquenchable thirst of aging Baby Boomers to stay cool. We will infest youth culture like microbes. It is what we do.

Um, excuse me, but the One Ring&#039;s inscription is not written in Elvish but in the Black Speech of Mordor. /nerd

All space opera is really horse opera with ray guns.
Immediately after &quot;Get off my rock!&quot;
Oh, cry me a river. My kids are among the (barely) adults that grew up playing Pokemon.
