First, read this Star Trek soliloquy (sp?). Brilliant. Well, what’s up? A certain giant software company has recently taken to taking pot-shots at sites that parody it, notably User Friendly: The Comic Strip and BeDope. What’s sad is, they know they don’t have a leg to stand on, this being parody and all, besides the fact that they’re attacking pretty high-profile sites that won’t […]

Wonderful informational resource. My only complaint is how busy […]

I haven’t forgotten you, really. Just haven’t been inspired lately, and Papyrus has been taking up a lot of my time over the past few days. Mystery Science Theater 3000 is being threatened with a second death; the Sci-Fi Channel has decided not to buy any more episodes after the current season 10 is over. Unfortunately, the fans are screaming and yelling as though the Pope had just been […]
