Flaky Fluesday Flinks, Part Deux
I think the last time I posted a link dump, I was flaking from my new tattoo. This week, I’m flaking from the tattoo’s touch-up! Much less pain for the touch-up, but the itching may drive me nuts if it doesn’t end soon.
Luckily, it’s healing very quickly.
Have some good reading:

- Six Thoughts On The Case Of The Breast-Feeding Professor | Alas, a Blog – "The child was allowed to crawl on a floor! Shocking! She had to take a paper clip out of its mouth! Shocking! Etc, etc. Makes me wonder if these people have ever met an actual infant. Seriously, the things are like a cross between a stumbling drunk and a vacuum cleaner."

In this place it is said that there are no nouns at all, only verbs! There are 'things' there, but all things are created from verbs, even the very integers for counting lambs, which are the most popular form of trading currency there, if the rumors speak truth."

- Outside Your Heaven: Is It That Hard to Make A Decent ‘Aliens’ Game? – "What every single Aliens game forgets is that Ripley – the civilian – is the goddamn hero, not the fucking marines. The fact that video game developers have such a hard-on for simulating the experience of being a marine proves how utterly this industry has missed the point of the film. The colonial marines aren't cool. They aren't badass. They are stupid. Under pressure they fall to pieces – they fucking lose – and a civilian has to save their ass."
