Knuckles.
With the Whitest Kids U' Know's 5th and final season they decided to end every episode with clips from a full length feature film they created titled, "The Civil War On Drugs." In it, Trevor and Sam essentially start and end the Civil War because of marijuana. Some guy decided to splice all the clips together and make the film whole. God damn it's funny

A Brand New Obsession
Well gang, I have proven to myself once again that I just don't get the concept of moderation. I've been told for months by all my friends to watch Game of Thrones on HBO and I had been planning on doing that for months. The problem was I had to catch up on...
1.) Doctor Who ('effing awesome)
2.) Breaking Bad (best thing on television since The Wire)
3.) Adventure Time (holy god, just watch that show. Don't let the fact it's on Cartoon Network throw you off. It's amazing)
So, once I had caught up on all that as well as play shitloads of Minecraft, beat Alan Wake, and dabble in Civilization V (fucking steam sale...), I was finally able to watch Game of Thrones. It's so damn good. It scratched an itch that I didn't know I had. The series is incredibly deep and so full of interesting characters with umpteen story lines that I had a tough time not burning through the entire first season in more than 3 sittings.
In my head I was thinking, "Oh, this series is great, I'm enjoying myself. Let's go to the source material. I'll saunter over to Amazon and see how much the first book costs. Wait, what? I can get the first four books of the series for 12 bucks (16 with shipping?!?!?). Purchase".
From there I realized I didn't do enough research, because there are currently 5 books out at this time of a planned 7 book series and of the first four I bought, the shortest is 850+ pages... I was sort of hoping to just burn through them over a long weekend, but I'm perfectly okay with biting off more than I can chew... This is looking like a fall project.
And that is why I really am lacking on the whole moderation thing. TV series, to massive book series, leading to just not sleeping at all anymore.
