During filming of Airplane, Leslie Nielsen used a whoopee cushion to keep the cast off-balance. Hays said that Nielsen "played that thing like a maestro"

Now all we need to do is get Bill Watterson to bring back Calvin and Hobbes.

Berke Breathed has been doing it for him:

I got my time machine, got my 'electronic dream!"

A War of a Madman's Making - a text-based war planning and political survival RPG

It makes no difference what men think of war, said the judge.  War endures.  As well ask men what they think of stone.  War was always here.  Before man was, war waited for him.  The ultimate trade awaiting its ultimate practitioner.  That is the way it was and will be.  That way and not some other way.
- Cormac McCarthy, Blood Meridian


If they made nothing but WWII games, I'd be perfectly content.  Hypothetical matchups from alternate history 1980s, asymmetrical US-bashes-some-3rd world guerillas, or minor wars between Upper Bumblescum and outer Kaboomistan hold no appeal for me.
- Silent Disapproval Robot


I guess it's sort of nice that the word "tactical" seems to refer to some kind of seriousness during your moments of mental clarity.

Holy crap, that's awesome!  Probably the best news I've heard so far this month.  Thanks for sharing, bes!

Heh, that was my immediate next thought after clicking the link (and before I actually read this). 

I don't imagine it'll ever happen (Waterson's occasional collaborations with Breathed aside, he seems determined to stay retired), but it would certainly be wonderful if it did.
