He sees you when you're sleeping

He knows when you're awake. He knows whether you've been good or bad. So be good for goodness' sake.

Kirby to his Land

I think I'm in denial about something... but what??

With apologies to Roy Lichtenstein, and indeed to everybody else in the world.

Justified by the medium

CHRIS: Oh, hello Mrs Sanders. MRS SANDERS: Hi Chris. I'm really sorry to do this, but our babysitter is running late, and could you please look after Christopher for a few minutes? CHRIS: Sure! Don't worry about it. MRS SANDERS: You're a STAR. Thank you SO much. I've left a note for when she gets here. CHRIS: It's no trouble. So Christopher, do you want to read a story? CHRISTOPHER: no thank you CHRIS: Play a game? CHRISTOPHER: no thank you CHRIS: Hmm! Guess I'm drawing a blank here. Not got a lot in the way of kid-friendly entertainment. Have I Got News For You is on, but I don't suppose that's really your thing. I know! Don't go anywhere. SFX: THUD THUMP MIAOW CHRIS: (bearing an anvil) Here you go... this always used to crack me up when I was your age.

Whoops, I gave them both the same name. I hope no-one noticed.

This was not a triumph

Portal-powered perpetual motion device

I'm afraid this proves it. It is thermodynamically impossible and can thus never be.

I AM SO SORRY.

Wall of text syndrome

MIKE: I swear it's getting like there's not enough hours in the day to be a gamer. CHRIS: Mm-hm. MIKE: Now all these developers insist on littering the games with secret unlockables, alternative endings, hidden characters and so on... and don't get me wrong, I think that's ADORABLE... CHRIS: Yuh. MIKE: ...but I don't have time to play through the game TWICE to access all the content that I PAID FOR. CHRIS: Right. MIKE: But strategy guides just spoil the fun. The only real solution is to have someone else read along as you play, and warn you if you're about to miss something. CHRIS: Who does that with you, then? MIKE: Nobody. No-one wants to. That's the problem. CHRIS: Too much like hard work? MIKE: Well, that and they object to the term 'FAQ-buddy'.

They wear the ear-ring. It is their uniform.
