Someone on birdsite suggested that the movie Clue is perfect and cannot be improved in any way, which is a motivated but wrong opinion, because Clue could be improved immeasurably by replacing the final word of the movie with 'husband'.

People think the preferred drink of spies is the vodka martini, but it's actually the John le Vieux Carré. It's just a Vieux Carré that someone has tinkered with, which means it might not be tailored to your palate, but I'd suggest ordering one and soldiering on with it if you ever spy one on a menu.

…probably the hardest I've ever been owned by a total stranger is the time I walked by a food cart and the owner shouted at me, "Hey, you! Can you tell me what TARDIS stands for? You look like you'd know."

...at some point, you get cans of a beer called 'Timefall Porter', but its logo uses a pale amber color and your character chugs it a can at a time. My theory is that Hideo Kojima doesn't know what porters are besides 'a kind of beer' and assumed they were probably just like typical lagers.

What made the original Star Wars cantina scene so good was how it was unexpected and wild, how it showed a world where even some crappy bar a town over could be filled with alien things you've never seen before. So it's sadly ironic that every new Star Wars has to include an obligatory cantina scene and it's gotta have some of the same alien extras in it.

Sometimes you attend a wedding where the ceremony reflects the participants' belief system which is deeply alien to your own but you participate cheerfully nonetheless. For example, the wedding I attended today positively invoked Stan Lee during the ceremony.

I believe that the existence of Java, JavaScript, and ECMA script implies the existence of a fourth secret programming language called ECMA. This kind of logical inference follows from the so-called 'Waluigi Principle'.

Why call it "Goldeneye 007 multiplayer mode" when you could call it "Super SMERSH Bros."?

A good name for a linter for linker scripts would be Koholint.
