From my heart and from my hand...

Just bits and pieces today.

The Clerks animated show (2000) is (was?) freaking side-splitting. Sadly, this show lasted only 6 episodes. We watched one this weekend that was WHACK! The title was "A Dissertation on the American Justice System by People Who Have Never Been Inside a Courtroom, Let Alone Know Anything About the Law, but Have Seen Way Too Many Legal Thrillers" The way scenes slip into each other, like Kevin Smith’s very thoughts come to life, is engaging and hilarious. It's Monty Python without the slapstick.
Read about it here. Clerks: The Animated Series

My brother has started a blog. No, my other brother Darryl. Check it out HERE. And he joined Facebook. Cool.

I played Magic on Friday for the first time in about –damn, almost a year! My uncle (you know who you are) and I played our own format, CRAP magic. It’s a French acronym. No, the words are not French – the order of the words is rearranged, like they do in French, to make the acronym a real word. It stands for Cards, Random, in A Pile. We take a bunch of cards, no lands, put them into a pile, and draw. You can put a card face-down and it acts as all basic lands. For 2 mana during your upkeep, you can put a ‘land’ back into your hand. My uncle and I had a lot of fun as we explored the new cards in the Shards of Alara set. I won the first game, then he won SIX in a row! Definitely had a blast!

A fabulous no-prize to anyone who identifies the reference that connects the title to the first line ("...bits and pieces...").
