I was thinking more of Number Two from Austin Powers.

Also, your secret headquarters needs a well-stocked laboratory, and it needs to be in some remote place (North Pole, Himalayas, small island in the middle of the Pacific, etc.).

A second-in-command (Number 2).

Capes are no good. Didn't you see The Incredibles?

Hey, maybe your Crazy Awesome Army can rumble with Craig Ferguson's Robot Skeleton Army to see which army is actually more awesome.

Make it a real smartphone app and I think you'll really have something.

I've got a strawberry hefeweizen fermenting right now. It should be ready to be bottled tonight. It's gonna be hard to wait a couple of weeks to crack one open.

That maple porter sounds good to me, too!

I can totally relate to that. I've made a couple of imperial stouts that are much better than anything I've had in a restaurant.

I've been brewing for almost two years now, and I absolutely love it. Yes, I've had a couple of bad batches, but mostly they've been really tasty. Also, you'll find that the homebrewers tend to share information in much the same way as open-sourcers, and they're just as friendly. Oh, and if your brew turns out well, save a bottle to give to the proprietor of your homebrew supply shop -- he'll appreciate it.

"...it often feels like most of the people you meet here came from somewhere else on their way to Something Better, so nobody cares about making LA suck less." Replace "LA" with "Las Vegas" and you have a pretty good description of the general attitude in my hometown.

Wow! You are so lucky to have such a beautiful floor under that carpet.

Wil, It's nice to see that someone else knows about Kid Beyond. My wife and I saw him a few years ago at a Mutaytor show at the House of Blues in Las Vegas and we were completely blown away by him. Jeff C.

I had something similar happen to me several years ago, only it was in a heavy, heavy rainstorm in Florida and the asshole was a guy in a black Camaro who decided he'd rather speed on the shoulder instead of slowing down like everyone else (did I mention it was raining heavily?). One of his tires went off the pavement, he lost control and spun out right in front of us. Then he hit the median and almost hit us again. I had my wife and my two girls (aged 4 and 9 months at the time) with me when this happened. We were so jittery that we had to get off at the next exit and chill for about 1/2 hour.

I can't begin to say how happy I am about the outcome of this election. We do not need eight more years of the same thing.

But what happened to Brenda? Was she executed by her fellow witches for failing?

I didn't know you had the lips of Anjelina Jolie.

Wil, I kinda like weird audio stuff, too. Where else do you find this stuff?

That recording is just really, really painful to listen to. It's hard to believe it was scripted.

Those Halloween shows were great! We used to drive down from Las Vegas for those shows. They're still among my most favorite concert memories.
