August 18, 2011 I saw an amazing Jabba the Hutt costume in a store window today -- then realized I was looking into a mirror. A real wake-up call. August 26, 2011 Dear movie theatre popcorn stand: our definitions of the word "large" could not be more different.

So much to hate, so little time. November 24, 2011 I'm writing a 10,000 word blog post on the absurd running order of balloons in today's parade. So much to give thanks for.

December 25, 2011 Note to Hollywood: I disapprove of all your past, present and future efforts. Will send same message tomorrow and through eternity. December 26, 2011 Decided to name my child Luke Skywalker. Now the hard part, finding, talking to and mating with potential mother.

2012

Date Tweet January 18, 2012 With Wikipedia down for the day, I can concentrate on my REAL work: maintaining my various @theavclub flame wars. January 24, 2012 SHAME on the Academy for overlooking Michael Fassbender's erotic and orgasmically explosive performance in "X-Men." January 24, 2012 Tonight at the Android's Dungeon, I shall deliver my annual "State Of The Justice League" address. Hint: It is strong. February 3, 2012 "Chronicle" is about teens with superpowers. My teen superpower was the ability to generate acne with blinding speed. February 5, 2012 Today's the big game: it's my desire to see the summer movie commercials vs. my hatred of football. Who will win? February 5, 2012 I refuse to watch the Super Bowl until the NFL recognizes the superior Pantheon Cup -- won again this year by the Miami Sharks. February 14, 2012 Happy Valentine's Day to the love of my life: my hatred of everything. February 14, 2012 In honor of Valentine's Day, my mini review of a rom-com I haven't seen: "This Means War" -- this means SNORE! Thank you. February 14, 2012 They say on this day all the world loves a lover. Tell that to the cop who arrested me and confiscated my Xena cut-out. February 17, 2012 The new Ghost Rider movie opens at the Googolplex today, and I am first in line! And, as it turns out, also last in line. February 18, 2012 I finally went to see Meryl Streep in "The Iron Lady." Worst. Marvel Sequel. Ever! February 19, 2012 Tonight, I refuse to participate in celebrating another meaningless milestone: my 10,000th day of being alive. February 24, 2012 I plan to watch the #Oscars with tongue sandwich firmly planted in cheek. February 26, 2012 I refuse to celebrate a meaningless award show until Hollywood recognizes the geniuses behind easy-apply Klingon head lumps. February 29, 2012 The Simpsons have more useless tie-ins than Lemuel Gulliver! I'll wait for you to look that reference up. http://bit.ly/zRG7Ri (Link goes to The Simpsons: Tapped Out) March 1, 2012 Oh joy! Another pointless time-wasting game. I shall download it ironically. And immediately. - http://bit.ly/zRG7Ri March 1, 2012 Worst. App-isode. Ever! http://bit.ly/zqmnC8 April 30, 2012 Got my @Comic_Con hotel. It's 20 miles from downtown San Diego and 20 feet from downtown Tijuana. Oh joy! #SarcasmIntended May 2, 2012 I can't wait for The Avengers. Only two more days until my ridiculously unrealistic expectations aren't met! May 3, 2012 I shall go see The Avengers but I will do so under protest. The only REAL Nick Fury is @DavidHasselhoff. Look it up. May 3, 2012 I'm first in line for The Avengers. What's this? Someone else in line dressed as Agent Coulson?! Comic Book Guy SMASH! May 4, 2012 Apparently "Agent Coulson" was an actual police officer. Please tell me how the movie turned out! May 5, 2012 Today is Free Comic Book* Day -- come one and all to The Android's Dungeon! (*free comic book must be Baby Huey or worse) May 5, 2012 I’m co-celebrating Cinco de Mayo and Tatooine National Bantha Day. May 5, 2012 Went from jail immediately to see The Avengers. Joss Whedon, I officially forgive you for those subpar episodes of Roseanne! May 8, 2012 I do not follow sports because they are unrealistic. A team of "Wizards" is not successful? As if. May 10, 2012 A re-run of Battlestar Galactica was delayed because a hockey game went into overtime. Sports, this is why I loathe you. May 25, 2012 Today is Geek Pride Day. To celebrate, I shall do Lt. Uhuru's fan dance upon a table and throw my "Goonies" plates against the wall. May 25, 2012 Star Wars is 35 today! Thank you, George, for giving me a magical childhood & an adulthood of saying you ruined my childhood. June 29, 2012 Just proved myself heroic. My head defeated 6 ice cream sandwiches and their brain-freeze powers. Rematch in one hour. July 12, 2012 San Diego, I am in you! #SDCC #FOXSDCC July 12, 2012 Tremendously slow pedal cab, I am in you! #SDCC #FOXSDCC July 12, 2012 Broken pedal cab, I am out of you! #SDCC July 12, 2012 Dear S.D.P.D. Officer Hernandez: what part of "This is a signed Sonny Chiba samurai sword" did you not understand? #SDCC #FOXSDCC July 12, 2012 I can't believe the praise @MorganSpurlock continues to receive. I've been living on nothing but fast food for 37 years! #SDCC #FOXSDCC July 13, 2012 Does no one but me understand the true meaning of CosPlay? I'm the only "Fat Albert" in the entire hall! #FOXSDCC #SDCC July 13, 2012 Score! The line for the Robot Chicken panel is only 700 people long. #IAmBetterThanAllOfYou #FOXSDCC #SDCC July 13, 2012 It seems this 700 person line is for the Mens Room. I'm certain it will move quickly. #IntentionalSarcasm #FOXSDCC #SDCC July 13, 2012 The "Adult Swim" party I paid $200 to get into turned out to be Water Polo at a nursing home. I stayed til 2AM. #FOXSDCC #SDCC July 14, 2012 Happy bday, Harrison Ford! May you live long enough to make an Indiana Jones movie where Indy goes to the first ComicCon! #SDCC #FOXSDCC July 14, 2012 I had the great pleasure of chatting with the wonderful Mythbusters @donttrythis @KariByron and @ToryBelleci at an exclusive party last... July 14, 2012 Then Security found the waiter I knocked out, took the name badge I stole back and escorted me out. "Dont try this" indeed! #SDCC #FOXSDCC July 14, 2012 Today I accidentally used the wrong door, went outside, and learned something new: San Diego sits on a body of water. #FOXSDCC #SDCC July 14, 2012 Dear pretzel stand lady near Hall H: I am wearing a Dr. Manhattan costume and not a "blue diaper". Thank you. #FOXSDCC #SDCC July 14, 2012 No, @[username redacted], I am most definitely NOT a "Brony". I am, however, a proud Brailor Broon. #SDCC #FOXSDCC July 14, 2012 Behold! My EXCLUSIVE PHOTO of Mr. PETER JACKSON! #SDCC #FOXSDCC {Embedded picture is a close-up of half of someone's posterior.) July 14, 2012 Wherever I went today I heard people say "10 pounds of crap in a 5 pound bag". Is that the catchphrase of some new TV show? #SDCC #FOXSDCC July 14, 2012 Awful, terrible! What, that I missed most of the "Mad" panel? No, you clod, because I sat on my keys! #SDCC #FOXSDCC July 14, 2012 I'm staging an Anti-Masquerade tonight, where one isn't judged by how "appropriate" his body is to wear Sting's "Dune" thong. #FOXSDCC #SDCC July 15, 2012 I've been sitting in this line for so long that I've gone totally numb. I just touched my groin: no feeling whatsoever! #SDCC #FOXSDCC July 15, 2012 It turns out that wasn't my groin I touched. And MY groin is certainly not numb. To quote any Batman villain: "Oof!" #FOXSDCC #SDCC July 15, 2012 At last! After 3 days in this line, I'm getting in to Hall H! Here I go -- I will LiveTweet all that I witness. #SDCC #FOXSDCC July 15, 2012 And the Maintenance Crew is doing a superheroic job of sweeping and stacking chairs. Sigh. #SDCC #FOXSDCC July 15, 2012 Argh! This train out of San Diego is "Standing Room Only", which for me means "Sweating Like An Ugnaught Only". #SDCC #FOXSDCC September 23, 2012 During the #Emmys Death Package tonight, I imagine there will be a prime slot for "Entertainment". Sarcasm oh-so-very intended. October 31, 2012 How did we ever let Halloween be taken over by CHILDREN! Gah! October 31, 2012 Dear 5 year old at my door: Why should I reward you with candy for wearing a Hulk costume with non-regulation BROWN PANTS?! October 31, 2012 I'm certainly the only person at this party wearing a Darth Vader costume with Mickey Mouse ears glued to-- OH NOOOOOOOO!!!!

And can anyone recommend a good bail bondsman? #FOXSDCC #SDCC July 20, 2013 Oh, now he's gone too far.
