It must be said that house-sitting is more attractive as a gig when you live, as I do, in a leaky, damp, cold, mushroom-sprouting festerment on the heart of the Downtown EastSide rather than, say, a $25million-dollar oceanfront mansion on the North Shore. Although I still bet I get more seawater than they do: I [...]

The subtitles while the coke peasants at lunch are the most interesting part of this fascinating video from Defamer (unless you actually use coke, in which case the whole thing is a paranoid can’t-tear-yourself-away fantasy trainwreck; I wonder how many OCD-related suicides will result from viewing this video).

Normally, I don’t like Christmas stuff before December 1st, but this year and particularly this Fall have just been so spectacularly crappy that I feel the need. I’ve gotta have a hit of the beautiful freakery that is the Vestibules‘ song Christmas on Acid, accompanied by bizarre out-takes of classic Christmas cartoons. My only regret [...]

Would you like some surveillance with those flapjacks? How about a side of identity theft? Can I top up your presumption of guilt before offering you what we’ve got in the way of closed curcuit television monitoring, hot off the griddle? Here’s our daily special, fresh from the Department of Homeland Insecurity.

Remix or original, Linus still has the best lines. It would make sense that he grew up to be George Clooney.

From Chowman on the Urban Diner Waiterforum. This will give you a bit of perspective on where I live and how immigrants adapt with creativity to our patented Canadian winters.

My heart leaped up when my eyes saw this one! Yes, we’ve been quiz-heavy over the past 24 hours it is true, but there exists in this world not the slightest chance that raincoaster was gonna let this one get past her without taking credit where credit is, according to the Quiz Gods, due.

What the hell, it’s easier than writing my own content. And, apparently, more popular. We’re blogging quick and dirty today, both because we’re doing a temporary move at casa del raincoaster and because WordPress’s back end is going down for a few hours (gee, I must not have my sexual metaphors straight…thought that wasn’t how [...]

momma likes! And again, all too true.
You scored as A classic novel. Almost everyone showers praise upon you for your depth and enduring relevance. According to your acolytes, everything you say is timeless, erudite and meaningful. Of course, none of them actually listen to you. Nobody listens to you at all, but it’s fashionable to [...]

This tells you pretty much everything you need to know about the Canadian national character, particularly when you realize it was written and drawn by a Canadian (shout out to John K, homeboy!). We are obviously not entirely sane, nor healthy.

Ladies and gentlemen, when I found this from Christies auction house on Defamer I think my brain orgasmed itself to death in a gruesome orgy of fatalistic and absurd self-abuse. Behold Britney Spears’s junior highschool paper on Sophocles‘ immortal Antigone, foremost among the ancient Greek tragedies and possibly the greatest play ever written.

From Martin Scorsese comes a new and gut-wrenching interpretation of the Sesame Street story.
In a world so familiar, some secrets just can’t stay hidden.
From the director of Goodfellas and Taxi Driver comes a story of vengence and innocence, love and violence, friendship and betrayal.

Here is the code for the social bookmarking I’ve been putting at the bottom of my newer posts. If any tech-savvy persons out there would care to improve it with images, I’d be very grateful and promise to host the images myself.

Liberated in the name of the people (all people, but particularly Canadian Muslims) from Umeda via Eteraz.org.
It’s the right of all people including prisoners to practice their religious faith, but when that faith requires artifacts, books, etc, I can understand the Canadian government’s position that it would be inappropriate for it to supply them; can [...]

Makes total sense to raincoaster the Squid Queen!
What horrible Edward Gorey Death will you die?
You will be sucked dry by a leech. I’d stay away from swimming holes, and stick to good old cement. Even if it does hurt like hell when your toe scrapes the bottom.
