Well, this can't end well

So, the details on the Nintendo 3DS have been announced, and it will offer glasses-free 3D, and have a Dead or Alive game available at launch.

This could be brilliant. It could also be horrendous. Either way, I'm looking forward to the reviews.

And lo, I weep

Excerpt from the channel /games in Kingdom of Loathing:

Another player: Trivia! In Stark Raving Dad, a man who claims to be Michael Jackson stays with the Simpson family. Where is "Michael" actually from?

Me (private): Paterson, NJ

Another player: Yendi wins with Patterson, NJ.

Me: Yay! Bonus trivia -- what great American poet is associated with that same town?

Answers I received included: Bruce Springsteen, Allen Ginsberg, Ralph Waldo Emerson, Edgar Alan Poe.

I had to give some serious hints before anyone got it (I basically referenced everything but the plums in the fucking icebox).

Sigh.

(Did I mention that I was in class at 8AM three days a week for a college course on Frost and Williams during my sophomore year?)

(Also, Ginsberg at least mentions Paterson in Howl, so it wasn't an awful guess. But the others just felt like guesses. And I'm still not sure if the Springsteen guess was serious or not. He is a poet from New Jersey, though.)

Somebody call Dick Dastardly!

Pigeons are the new drug mules.

It's a fact

You can't spell "corvid-felching jackasses" without the letters CVS.
