Tuesday grabbag

The Royals' consecutive losses at team-record 16, five more for the AL record. C'mon, guys, you can do it.

Good: $50 used iBooks. Bad: resulting stampede. Urinary malfunction, lost flip-flops, crushed strollers, dogs and cats living together, mass hysteria....

Overwhelmed at the upgrade from 50 to 100 icons? Need a quick-and-dirty way to make some? Try El Jay icon maker, complete with Firefox plugin. Okay, I'll stop mentioning it now. I just think it's neat.

Happiness in today's TWOP Staff Special Achievement Awards:
Most Questionable Advancement of Disabled Persons
Arrested Development and House tie in this category, the former for showing us the hilarious consequences of having one's hand bitten off by a seal, and the latter for having a main character whose crippledness has helped make him a bitter drug addict who is mocked for his disability at least once an episode. On one hand, it's great to see more disabled people represented on television. On the other hand -- oh, wait. That one got eaten. By a seal.

and
The Manos: The Hands Of Fate Memorial Golden Pen for Best Unintentional Comedy Writing in a Police Procedural
To the Law & Order scribes, for saddling Elisabeth Röhm with the most hilarious departure line in franchise history. No, it's not because you're a lesbian, honey. It's because you act about as well as an oar. From a lifeboat on the Titanic.


Okay, back to Dungeon Siege 2. Ah, Tuesday.

The fellows over in The Corner loved the Law & Order line as well. It became Jonah's go-to excuse for quite a while and it shows up sporadically now. "Is it because I'm a lesbian?" The thing that got them was that to the best of their recollections her sexual preference was never mentioned before in the series. Therefore, the line came from way out of left field.
