In honor of Jon Carroll's 2/11 column, and inspired by my friend R. Francis Smith, I present the Candidate X Store. Candidate X: he doesn't like killing people. It is, in my mind, a perfectly chosen phrase.
Everything there is priced at cost; I don't make any money off 'em. The slogan is thanks to R. Francis.
After getting Sorcerer (which I will talk more about at some point) and reading Gibson's new novel Pattern Recognition (ditto), I got all fired up to write up a little discussion of using the former to run a game set in the environment of the latter. Then Rob MacDougall beat me to it, so I just posted my thoughts in the thread he started. Man, I'm getting some good gaming out here.
So the Onion went and asked a bunch of celebs who they could take in a fight. I gotta say, if you respond to that question with "I believe in non-violent solutions" or words to that effect, you're kind of wimping out. This is the Onion. Have a sense of humor. Maintain your principled stance on non-violence by saying "Nobody, because I have a principled stance on non-violence and I'd just curl up into a little ball even if it was Nancy Reagan coming after me."
Best line in the piece was from Frank Miller:
Well, she [Little Lulu] doesn't exist. She's just lines on paper. If you want to go along those lines, I'll just say I could take Galactus. Paper rips.
Yeah, baby. Paper rips.
Also, I am tremendously jealous of my once housemate Tasha Robinson who gets to go out and interview people and ask them questions like that. There's someone who knew what she wanted to do and now does it.
