The moon is especially round today. I'll have to zoom in a little bit further to demonstrate what a bigger moon looks like

Why the hell did i read that as "Supermom"... I must be really off today.

That's no supermoon.

I thought the "supermoon" was when you bent over and flashed them your ball bag as well.

Though the unusual appearance of this month's full moon may be surprising to some, there's no reason for alarm, scientists warn. The slight distance difference isn't enough to cause any earthquakes or extreme tidal effects, experts say.

Thanks, FoxNews, for making the stupid feel safe, too.

You can turn your 200mm lens into a 228mm lens by taking a picture of the moon tonight.

"Amazing view"? He cut the bottom third off and managed to get a tree in the way.

So glad I have a Night Fishing Permit; taking my man, a six pack and a 10-foot pole and spending the night at the beach to watch this shiat.

/10-foot pole is not a euphamism

Back in my day the moon was bigger. Dang kids.

That's some fine reportage there, Lou. Gebus, did Glenn Beck forget to cry today or something and they needed filler?

I was driving home last night under what I thought was completely cloudy overcast skies. I then turned around a corner and I saw a ginormous angry red moon hanging in the sky. My heart did jump for a second as I wasn't sure if it was the moon or some large asteroid burning through the atmosphere.

Giant red moons are serious business.

I'd say if the moon looks that close to Earth it might be time to panic. But yeah, I'll take a look, I'm not expecting it to really look any different than usual but celestial happenings are cool.

You know, for a LoZ game, it was pretty farked-up.
