I have no idea what this is, but I love it

they feel pretty, oh so pretty…

May 30, 2007 – 7:04 pm

Pretty much outed, actually. Stolen from the voyeuristically delightful Celebrity Cosmetic Surgery blog, here’s a lovely little vid of before and after shots of celebrities, set to a classic tune.
Is this not the perfect place to mention that Spy reported that Angelina Jolie’s pickup line was “Five bucks if you can guess what’s real”? That so [...]

Operation Global Media Domination: operation indemnification

May 30, 2007 – 10:01 am

Look, people, it’s FAKE. It’s not her. Now will you please either go away or read more posts on the blog?
Seriously, 960 hits yesterday, 998 hits the day before, just through searches for “Britney Spears Sex Tape” for which it appears I google rather highly (higher, indeed, than my sources).
Too bad posts tagged “Porn” don’t [...]

The War Prayer, by Mark Twain

May 29, 2007 – 7:50 pm

via Daily Kos. Twain would not permit this to be published until after his death, and given the potential for blowback I think we can all understand why. It reminds me of nothing so much as William S. Burroughs’ Thanksgiving Prayer. Watch the film on YouTube here.
O Lord our Father, our young patriots, idols of our [...]

the view from the conveyorbelt

May 29, 2007 – 6:15 am

The sushi’s point of view in a Japanese mall. Random and charming. You can see the difference made by a more upscale sushi locale here.

the most 80’s music video of all time?

May 28, 2007 – 9:59 pm

You tell me. Presenting Pat and Mick, of whom I have never heard, performing their apparent non-hit I Haven’t Stopped Dancing Yet. Note omnipresent ambiguous, yet powerful, sexuality, along with the presence of two Robert Palmer dancers, a great number of apparently gay boys with great asses and pleated pants, and perhaps the most heinous unironic [...]

It’s too bad we haven’t got a Dr Cornelius handy to interpret this auspicious-looking juncture for us. Does it mean that the werewolves will get laid tonight?

quiz: are you strange?

May 28, 2007 – 1:04 am

Heh, you could say that. But if you did I’d have you thrown in the dungeon.

You Are 81% Strange!
You are pretty darn strange. You’re quirky and odd, and definitely not normal. But that’s great–it makes you an interesting person. You aren’t exactly as strange as they come, but congratulations on being quite unique!
How Strange Are [...]
