In "Curious George and the Required Reading List."

TUM, sounds like it might have been Pablo Neruda's 100 Love Sonnets.

In "Literature Online."

MoFite's hope me!! Does anyone know of a site that has Verne's Le Maison à vapeur (The Steam House)? Amend that. Does anyone know of a site that has Verne's Le Maison à vapeur (The Steam House) in english?

In "100 Movies that deserve more love."

No problem rolypolyman. The only reason I remember the flick is because it features a very young Matt Dillon, and has the song "Ooh Child" by the Five Stairsteps (which was later covered/bastardized by the Jacksons). ..oldies.. ...sweet...

rolypolyman I think that you are thinking of Over the Edge. And I agree with your sentiments jb, and apparently so does Anil Dash.

In "The Family Circus Conspiracy"

Reminds me of Scott McCloud's FC panel that read: "Mommy, why ain't I juxtaposed?"

In "Curious George: Name that short story."

I didn't ignore him. I commented that I was going to verify if the story in question was what I remembered based on his recommendation. Then he decided to mock me. I don't feel unjustified for being pissed. And neither should he. FWIW, I'm sorry for the snarkiness. And I apologize Argh.

I give up On trying to help, or being an asshole?

Read your comment the 1st time. No need to be an ass.

Sounds very "Bradbury-ish" doesn't it? :) Definitely not "The Lottery". It's not as suavely vicious as that. Asimov is a likely possibility. Now that I'm at work I can check it out and report back by this afternoon. Wish me luck!

In "Jobs unveils cheaper Mac..."

Or just "splurge" on the $20 DVI to Video Adapter and use your MacMini on your TV.

In "A Jug of Wine, "

On a tangentially similar note... Pallas: If you like Dulac, you'd probably like Barry Windsor-Smith. I'm not sure if you're familiar with his work but his line, and color sensibilities are eerily similar. Windsor-Smith's work is predominately fantasy; he worked for comics companies for years (Conan, X-Men, Solar, etc.).

Vedder's illustrations are gorgeous. Cost me a tad over $100 to get a good copy for a gift, but it was worth it. Actually, I've got a few scans that revolve as my desktop. :p

In "Soothly we live in mighty years!"

What subject would these adjectives come from? chutzpah ganas

In "Vote for the MoFi Shirt, MoFo's!!!"

banana-usb. I came late to this party, and I gost a few ideas of my own. Someone set up the next MoFi Shirt Competition... STAT!

In "Dude!"

Look, let me explain something. I'm not Mr. Lebowski; you're Mr. Lebowski. I'm the Dude. So that's what you call me. That, or Duder. His Dudeness. Or El Duderino, if, you know, you're not into the whole brevity thing--

In "Soothly we live in mighty years!"

I daresay there would be quite a few angry monkeys if we couldn't use the word Schadenfreude!

In "Dude!"

That had not occured to me dude.

In "Sergei Eisenstein's seminal film, "Battleship Potemkin" has been restored."

Titles

In "Comics great Will Eisner passed away yesterday."

Eisner's last work "The Plot" is slated to be published 5/1/05. Here's an article about The Plot from the NYT. Even in his late 80's Will was still fighting the good fight.
