Didn't even watch the video...stars.

One of the only memorable parts of Cable Guy.

Spoiler: If you ask for utensils, they give you utensils.

Spoiler: It's from a movie. Also, you've been uber-pedantic lately. Go get laid or something.

I'm aware, man. All work and no play makes Sugah a meticulous prick.

Texas always surprises me when it comes to Ye Olde Stuffe. They're in a kind of constant war with Minnesota for who has the biggest Renaissance Festival.

The obvious joke is that the conservatives in the state think the Wild West is too liberal and want to take Texas back to feudal times, but I'm not going there.

Joke?

I'm pretty sure they do.

We were there for a friend's birthday party two months ago. The blue knight had a mullet and a dirtstache.

After the show we asked another of the knights if the blue knight owned a trans-am, his response was to laugh for a second, then sorta hang his head and admit we weren't that far off.

I would really like you to start taping your seminars if indeed it's true that they're attended solely by employees and customers of Medieval Times.

So just as Japanese language teachers and professors keep their jobs because of Anime, Manga, and JRPGs you keep your job because of Larping, D&D, Game of Thrones, and the million different retellings of King Arthur.

I will thank you very much for not comparing medieval history to Japanese pop culture.

Who'd win a knight or a samurai?

Ahh let's not hassle the man for knowing things and getting paid for doing so!

No one goes to MT or watches Game of Thrones looking for a history lesson. Pointing out its inaccuracies is kind of pointless.

Baldr, that article could have just said "a white woman with a Ph.D. in medieval history and an adjunct professor, came to rely on food stamps and Medicaid." and been more or less complete.

I never thought anyone would read past the caption. Sorry about that. Sometimes I forget that non-academics don't know the Chronicle of Higher Education is a giant navel-gazing machine designed for people who secretly suspect they're the only sentient form of life on the planet.

SUGAH is just ticked because they didn't give him his fork and Pepsi refill.

The only jobs that mean anything are oil frackers and marines. Everybody else go fuck yourselves and get off foodstamps because I don't understand what you're doing.
