The best book you can no longer find.

Richard Bachman is one of my favorite authors, and not the least reason being because (unless you’ve been living in a cave and don’t know) Richard Bachman is Stephen King’s pseudonym.  However, I have a special place in my heart for the books he produced under the Bachman pen name, and indeed, the one that almost was a Bachman book, Misery.  There’s one in particular that you just can’t find anymore, and while the reasoning is sound, it is a shame that you just can’t run out to the store and buy Rage.  I’ll make my case for this misunderstood book after the jump.

Bad pets? Maybe. Bad Photoshop? Definitely.

Let’s get it out in the open.  I don’t own any animals.  No cats, no dogs, and no escargot.  I find the children I have to be enough animals in the house, thanks.  For all that, however, (and my cat hate has been thoroughly documented on this site.) whenever I did have any pets, I went out of my way to make sure their existence was as stress free as it could be.  It is insanely easy to annoy your pets, however, and since I’ve made it my mission in life to annoy to the utmost, here’s a handy guide on how to piss off your pets.  Bear in mind, however, that your typical fur people have sharp teeth and claws.  Another reason I don’t keep them in the house.  Ten New Ways to Annoy Your Pets after the jump.

Uh...DAMN! She can be in my terrible movie anytime!

I know that I’ve tried to limit pairing up the Nerd Crushes, but I’ve only noticed recently that these two have been paired up in at least three movies!  And, all of them awesome low budget Stuart Gordon pictures.  You can find much worse ways to blow an afternoon than watching their collected films.  So, let’s get started, shall we?  Barbara Crampton and Jeffrey Combs after the jump.

What the hell are you people doing?

I just don’t get people as a whole.  It’s true.  But, today, I’m going to take a look at ten groups that I really, really don’t get.  That’s not to say that I shouldn’t be included in at least one of these groups.  I guess, when all is said and done, I don’t really understand myself, either.  I don’t doubt that something in this list will piss people off, and I’ll lose one of my six readers (Hey ex-principal Reed!), but frankly, I think pouring my brain out my help me figure a thing or two out.  Ten Groups I Just DO NOT GET after the jump.

Aw man! Why didn't I think of THAT one!

I imagine that if you’re dead, you’re probably pretty easy to piss off.  Add to it the pressure of having to seduce and drink blood, and you’ve got an undead powderkeg on your hands!   Since I’m not just going after any particular fandom, we’ll have several types of vampires in this week’s list.  That, and I didn’t know what else to write about, and I just needed the filler.  Enjoy!

Looks like this and still pulls tail. It's not fair, I tells ya!

Welcome back!  Let’s talk about nerdbait, shall we?  The purpose of Hot Nerd Crush is not to profile hot nerds.  That some of them happen to be so is an afterthought.  No, these are people who I, as a nerd (Sorry Mom, but it’s true.) find attractive.  And, to put my brother’s mind at ease, no, I’m not gay, not that it’s any of your business, and I wish you’d stop telling people that!  Anyways, one is a hyperintelligent smartass, and the other is one of the hottest androids to walk the Earth!  Hot Nerd Crush Johnny Galecki and Grace Park after the jump!

The only job that Chuck's past career has prepared him for.

The constant butt of jokes around here Chuck Norris reached the age of 70 last week, and there’s no reason we should stop making fun of him.  I mean, what’s he going to do?  Slap me with his walker (Texas Ranger)?  Heh. It would appear that Chuck has come up against an adversary that he can’t simply kick into submission.  So, as we all fall to the enemy that is time, let’s take a look at how Chuck will deal with this particular bad guy who isn’t a motorcycle thug or a ninja.  Chuck vs. Old Age after the jump.

That pretty much sums it up.

The Twilight saga is filled with the pansiest bunch of vampires in the known universe.  And, yes, I’ve read most of Anne Rice’s Vampire Chronicles.  Just because a vampire is gay doesn’t mean he’s a pansy.  Indeed, Edward Cullen isn’t gay…but he might as well wear a yellow bonnet and go pick some daisies, that’s all I’m saying.  I don’t really understand the attraction to vampires anyways.  They’re DEAD!  In most vampire mythos around the world, not only are they dead, they’re about as interesting as a walking corpse, and they smell like they’re dead as well.  Anyway, here’s a Twilight poke to just piss off the fans, who I think I may dislike more than the source material.  And, don’t worry…there’s so much Twilight hate in the world, that I’ll be back on this subject in no time.  I can’t claim credit for the picture above, by the way.

What'd I say? If I can find them in glasses, that's how they're going up here.

It’s been awhile since I’ve done the Hot Nerd Crush, huh?  Odd of me, considering the piece I wrote on Malcolm McDowell is my most visited article to date.  Very well!  I’m sorry it’s been so long since I’ve visited the subject of who I thought was hot.  This week, I have a couple of blasts from the past, but don’t discount them based on that.  I’ve seen women visibly swoon over one of them, and the other is still a hot piece of…well, let’s be polite, shall we?  Deborah Foreman and Chris Sarandon after the jump.
