Dialogue...so bad...

Yesterday I was playing Axis & Allies with my friend E, and his girlfriend was watching a would-be drama on the television--a drama full of special police forces and kidnappings and stuff. I would like to like it, if for no better reason than because the main character and I share a name. (That's right, he's named Sealion Too. ;))

But the dialogue! Oh, my bleeding ears!

It was largely in the delivery, which was cynical and sneering from all sides, and boy does that get old fast. But then they were also dropping chestnuts such as this...in arch, cynical, sneering, self-serious tones: "Boy, isn't it funny how you always find things in the last place you look."

Guys. Of course it's in the last place you look. When you find something, you stop looking.

Most random regrets:

1) Not getting better evidence for that potentially world-record-setting centipede I encountered in Venezuela.

Topeka!

Not just for Kansas anymore! Look here for more details.
