quiz: what the hell is wrong with your ex

Here’s one everyone can identify with! I love that it puts the answers only in the form of pathologies because of course dumping or failing to please jewels such as us is indeed pathological.

Your Ex is Histrionic

Your ex is hot and cold – a total drama queen or king.Your ex can’t survive without tons of dramatics, [...]

the Right Honourable Dr Gordon Brown MP, Chancellor of the Exchequer, picks his nose and eats it

That’s basically it. Gordon Brown, Chancellor (=Finance Minister), sits on-camera behind Tony Blair on the day he is to present his new budget and slowly and methodically picks his nose and eats it, over a period of two excruciatingly long minutes. Quite frankly, I couldn’t make it all the way to the end; I thought [...]

the Spaghetti Harvest, 2007

 
Yes, the BBC did a groundbreaking documentary on the Swiss spaghetti farming industry back in 1957 (crappy Realplayer version here), but that’s soooo 20th Century. Here is an update on an independent spaghetti farmer working the family farm in New Jersey, and his valiant fight against corporate Big Spaghetti.

MC Rove

This video is the most definitive exhibition of white boy cool in the history of white boys. Come on, admit it you demented Republican rednecks:
Karl Rove looks about as cool as an undermedicated and spastic special education lifer performing in the inpatient pageant.

Bloomsbury Publishing Plc is delighted to release the book jacket images for Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows by J.K.Rowling, to [...]

quiz: which rejected crayon are you?

Well, the spelling is along the right lines, and as everyone knows, Cthulhu himself is green, so perhaps this isn’t so far off after all. Also, I’m on a four day green smoothie fast, so my insides are probably this colour right now, and by tomorrow I’ll probably be capable of photosynthesis. If the blog [...]

It’s a possiblility, that’s all I’m saying. No proof either way, but still, a nagging doubt continues…
What if JD Salinger and Thomas Pynchon were the same person?
Hey, not so fast! Hear me out.
Did anyone ever see the two of them in a room together? Are there [...]

Stone Age computing: Maria lays it down old skool for Cookie Monster

By now, poor old Cookie’s probably become one of those sad shut-ins who does nothing but rack up the Visa charges ordering from Cookies4uonline.com.
Thanks a lot, bitch.

100% plastic: the Anna Nicole Smith doll

 
So inasmuch as it’s completely synthetic, it’s that much more perfect a representation of the gawdy trainwreck that was Vicky Lynn.

my grampaw, the warlock

Oh, it’s not all Alan Rickman’s laser gaze and cute teens prancing around the Great Hall in robes, nosiree.

Well it makes a hell of a lot of sense, if you think about it.
Even if he wasn’t my grandfather.
Depends on your definition, see. Are you an “on paper” [...]
