The List
Man, it’s been so long. I remember the MomLogic element but that element implanted a false memory that it’s a FalseLogic list. It’s a great list and I’m a little sad we haven’t had more literature lists. But it would also be a reminder that I don’t read nearly as much as I’d like to. Even comics: I have a huge pile because I’m often really busy but I feel the need for comic acquisition endorphins by buying a couple new trades every three weeks. But we have this, comics and that’s kinda it. I would love one for sci-fi novels or humour books or authors. Ooo, or literary characters (I wouldn’t put comic characters on there just because that would get its own list.
As always, Lokii is passionate about what he posts about but even more than that, he created a cool breakdown after the fact. On subgenres…

Portal Quest? The fuck is that? And where’s my isekai?!
The MomLogic, for those who forget, was when the covers of each book were presented to FalseLogic’s mom for review. With gems such as…
This is also where JBear unveiled his love for Bertolli.

The MomLogic, for those who forget, was when the covers of each book were presented to FalseLogic’s mom for review. With gems such as…
So, this is the first Game of Thrones book? (yes) That throne looks uncomfortable. What is it made out of thorns? (Swords its made of swords) Why would anyone even want that think? (Small price to pay to be King?) Not after thirty years or so (I don’t think anyone actually makes it that far.) Oh, that’s right because none of the characters can keep their swords in their sheaths. (laughs)
Is that what they’re called? Anti-heroes? Seems to me to defeat the purpose of telling a story. World has enough anti-heroes. We need them in our fiction too?
Why do all these fantasy books have birds on them? Birds aren’t magical. You and [falsebro] had a bird (No, mom falsebro had a bird that I was forced to share a room with) Then you know they are filthy, annoying animals! If that’s magic you can keep it!
You know no one but God knows when the end of the world is Jonathon. (I know Mom) Have you been reading the Book of Mormon liked I asked you?
This is also where JBear unveiled his love for Bertolli.

Top 50 Duos Nomination Thread - Voting Twice
One is the loneliest number... but with two, you'll never be alone. Hey ya'll! It's me, Johnny Unusual and today we are going to celebrate things that come in twos, whether they be attractive opposites or in sync (not to be confused with N SYNC, who are, in fact, not a duo). Now we've done...

I'm also doing a Thunderdome for musical numbers! I would also like participation in this!
Numbersdome nomination thread: And a one and a two and a three and a four
I did villain songs a little while back but now we are going to get a bit less specific; Musical Numbers! Via Wikipedia, a number “refers to an individual song, dance, or instrumental piece which is part of a larger work of musical theatre, opera, or oratorio. It can also refer either to an...
