Stuff We Like: Gravity Falls

Have you seen this show?  It's awesome!  With a capital AWESOME!  The best part is that it's full of little inside jokes and puzzles and stuff.  Like this guy:

Who flashes by in about 0.2 seconds at the beginning of the episode so fast you have to pause it to see.  And at the end of each episode there's an anagram puzzle that you have to decode!  Since we're a family of nerds, we have of course decoded each one.

The latest episode (Fight Fighters) ended up being "Sorry, Dipper, your Wendy is in another castle."  Which is a reference to Mario Brothers, which of course we knew right off (not Angela, of course, since she doesn't play cool video games, only things like Farm Frenzy, but now I digress).

So if you are a fan of Gravity Falls, huzzah for you!  And congratulations for being on the bleeding edge of coolness.  Or nerdiness.  Which together are nerolness, which sounds like some kind of strange disease that ends badly.

FYI: The alphabetic code for the last few episodes is just the reverse (A=Z, B=Y, etcetera).  It was a different code in the beginning, if I recall it was something like using the letter 3 slots back (D=A, etcetera).
