Actually, scratch that. He does, and goes by Jethro Q Walrustitty.

I somehow lost interest in them when they became more of a content-bearing "brand" and less some guy's comedy projects.
Yes! Yes! That's totally it!

Linguist Geoffrey K. Pullum has gone so far as to compare concerns over vocabulary size (and the notion that a supposedly larger lexicon leads to "greater richness and precision") to an obsession with penis length.[86]

So anyway, I was just watching this Disney short I haven't seen in ages...

...and I ಠ_ಠ'ed at about 2:55. That girl with the sailor suit and glasses looks like she could have stepped into the scene from just about any Japanese cartoon from, oh, 50 years later or so. Weird.

Also, this short's a bit more risque (for 1940s Disney, anyway) than I remember. The girl in the first half is pretty hot. :D

Getting Crap Past the Radar : Nelvana felt the original anime was doing this on US radars and so went ahead and dubbed it. The result? They actually made it so bad it was universally considered crap!

From Cardcaptor Sakura.

Must be a record for the number of levels a single entry manages to piss me off (incorrect usage of the trope, annoyingly opinionated entry, a needless Take That!, the use of the word "universally", me being a counterexample; that's 5). Though to be fair, even accounting for my vested interest, I've seen far dumber entries such as the Kodomo No Jikan one I quoted pages back.

Eternal September. Ours has begun. The glory days are gone.

Let's just admit that to ourselves and find something better to do. As we leave the city let's all flip the bird simultaneously in celebration as to how we all totally fucked ourselves over and all of us combined couldn't puzzle out what the fuck the problem was.

And maybe shit on the doorstop as we're kicked out of the house.

Hooray.

Thank God I can't remember two years ago then.

I still think people are meaner around the site in recent months. Maybe I'm just noticing it.

The site was worse about this kind of stuff two years ago. That happened to be an entry from a hapless newbie that didn't know any better on a page that barely gets much Wiki Curator attention.

[up]To be frank, Charlatan, you could stand to calm down a bit.
