It's not thievery, it's destiny.

(A good catchphrase for this situation, and also something you can try to tell the cops as a last-ditch effort if you're caught stealing red-handed and you believe they might go easier on you because they subscribe to a theory of predestination over free will.
Also, your hands are red because your fingers are hot dogs.)

Of course, of course, I was just kidding.

But seriously, hide your notebooks.

No. No! still kidding.

So you're practicing what to say to the cops, huh? Parallel thought. Reminds me of this song called 'A Good Idea' by Sugar.

Myq, you're a comic book geek! GOTCHA!

"Global Frequency" is good. The problem i have with Ellis is the same i have with the other super-smart writer Grant Morrison: they try too hard to be Alan Moore. Even Moore has problems at being himself lately (too much weird drugs, i guess).

We're gonna get wedgies for this...

The Law & Order shit at the end was pretty awesome. That's so my favorite show. My bf hates me.

Did YOU get me?
Or did I get me and give me to you?

I AM gotten though, you're right about that.

I think Morrison is way weirder than the others, actually, but I know what you're saying.
(Though I just read and really enjoyed Moore's "Lost Girls," and I don't know if that qualifies as written "lately" because it was over a decade in the making, I think, but it came out recently and was super well done.)

If you're gonna ask me the same fucking question you obviously don't care about, I'm gonna fuck with you. The reactions I get are pretty funny to me every time, but for my girlfriend, it's gone from kinda funny to not funny to annoying to anger-inducing over the years. I also tell anybody who asks that my middle name is Aladdin, because no one ever questions that. HILARIOUS~!

Hey, what is your little brother's name?

Is it Aladdin?

I am a comic book geek (not the comic-con kind though). And you did a Batman vs. Bane reference in your last KATG show. That was a giver

Morrison is weird, but he really messes with my head. "The filth" is likeWatchmen done by a heavy LSD user. I lost the plot in the middle. Somehow Moore always ties things together in his stuff.

Always wanted to get "Lost Girls" but it's really expensive. Plus the whole weird fantasy porn side of it kinda creeps me out...

So did anyone actually admit to being a pedophile? What were your findings?

It was great to hear Keith and Myka rambling on about how people think comedians are great when they've never heard their stand up yet Myka has never been to Kentucky and can dish out tons of hate.

Great point. In an effort to learn more about the REAL Kentucky I went to their official tourism website. Under "Things to do" they have listed "Bourbon." Tell me, in Kentucky is Bourbon a verb? Bourbon - Kentucky Department of Travel

And Myka should do some research before she throws stones. Her own alma mater UC-Irvine is on Second Life: UCI Libraries - Online Research: Second Life
Does that mean she should burn her diploma? Should UC Irvine focus on its people and not venture into the online world?

I was assigned actual field research when I went to UC Irvine. I wrote one of my papers during a weekend at Disneyland, where I falsified all of my data so I could spend more time on "Star Tours." I was a lazy stoner, but at least my school expected more out of me. I have never been employed in a position that made use of my degree, and I would be happy to burn it except that I never picked it up.

That's not true. Ghost stories as we know them now come from their popularity in Victorian England. It's Classical and Silver Latin literature that is really responsible for the idea of a "ghost." The reason we don't hear about ghosts in, say, ancient Sumerian texts, is b/c they didn't didn't believe in them or have any kind of context to explain the phenomena we attribute to spirits.

Ghosty stuff has been happening since the dawn of humankind, I suspect, it's only recently that we've started calling it "ghost" or whatever.

Wait. Whoa. What you're describing here is called "baiting", and it's a very dangerous thing. That's the same stuff Hansen does, it's not something a school should give as an assignment...

I hope i'm misunderstanding.

That is less funny and more Billy Bob Thornton-ish.
