random morbidity

June 30, 2007 – 9:57 am

Why is it that when it’s the government that executes someone,
it is never described as “execution-style?”

But it is called the Executive Branch.

the Harry Potter Countdown ticker: get it for your blog

June 30, 2007 – 8:35 am

I stole it from ruhi’s blog here, so it seems only fair that you steal it from me. If you scroll down in my blog you’ll see it in my sidebar just under the Categories list, and very nice-looking it is, too, if a bit fat for a Dusk template sidebar. Don’t ask me how [...]

50’s redux: Amy Winehouse works it girl-group style

June 30, 2007 – 6:59 am

although her backup consists of a costume party themed “Hollywood Hookerdom.” If you replaced the slutteriffic satins and fishnets with torn B.U.M. Equipment sweats and GWG cutoffs, this could be any day in my neighborhood, actually. The girls around here don’t need to try so hard.
I suppose it’s only natural if your video is directed [...]

you say tomato, I say tomahto; you say botox, I say botulinum toxin type A

June 29, 2007 – 11:05 pm

A doctor in Las Vegas has been arrested for injecting into the faces of his unsuspecting patients a derivative of the deadly botulism toxin.
He has admitted injecting the patients, who came for Botox treatments, with paralyzing shots of botulinum toxin type A instead of the Botox for which they had paid. Sounds like a pretty [...]

paging Christopher Walken…could Christopher Walken please report to the Walls of Jericho?

June 29, 2007 – 6:05 pm

Well, now it’s official. Welcome to the End Times.
With musical accompaniment.
Well, it would have musical accompaniment, if the Archangel Gabriel (or Gabe, as we like to call him) hadn’t, in a move startlingly reminiscent of (if not actually plagiarized from) Terry Pratchett’s scene of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse getting one of their [...]

lollemur!

June 29, 2007 – 7:14 am

Oh, why not? Like you’re surfing the internet looking for Protagoras and Meaning, eh? They’re over at Manhunt.

Also, bonus “hey, rare lemur triplets born” story tacked on to pathetically justify lollemur blog filler.

quiz: what kind of woman’s shoe are you?

June 29, 2007 – 6:02 am

Another perfect match. I’ve actually got my eye on a nice pair of patent boots that lace up the side…if only I had somewhere to wear them!

You Are Big Black Boots!

You can be best described as: attitude
You’ve got lots of it - and you love to give it
A guy has to be pretty gusty to [...]

Harry Potter spoiler di tutti spoiler

June 28, 2007 – 8:25 am

So you want to know how the final book ends, do you?
Do all the people that the bloodthirsty Rowling has killed off suddenly un-die, join hands and sing “It’s a Small World After All” while Draco Malfoy converts to the Church of Dumbledoorianism, Buckbeak leads a squadron of precision hippogriffs in barrel rolls overhead, Gandalf [...]

the joke is on you

June 28, 2007 – 4:18 am

He who laughs last, laughs best? As jokes go, this one deserves a place in the history books.
Double murderer Patrick Knight (the Insane Cajun) achieved global fame over the past month for his quest to find the funniest joke in the world and tell it at his own execution. That execution happened last night, [...]

quiz: which federal rule of civil procedure are you?

June 27, 2007 – 11:58 pm

Boy howdy, don’t you find some weird things out there in Quizland. But this one is so totally me. Absolutist, but not, like, all uptight about it.
 

Which Federal Rule of Civil Procedure Are You?
 
YOU ARE RULE 15!
You’re a very helpful rule! You allow the attorney to amend their complaint once as a [...]

lines I have left out of technical support forum responses: episode #1

June 27, 2007 – 8:08 am

 
“your mother called. She wants you to swing by The Home and sex her up again.”
 
Mark should never have told me I could abuse spammers.
Talk about opening Pandora’s Box.

and this is your car on drugs

June 27, 2007 – 12:01 am

Somebody really wasn’t thinking straight when he tried to lead the cops on a cocaine-fueled high-speed chase. Surprisingly, this comes from the Netherlands, not the never-netherland of hillbilly territory. From the Daily Mail via Gawker.

Indiana Jones versus Brian Jones

June 26, 2007 – 9:28 am

An immortal hero versus a dead rock god? No contest, baby. Indy takes it going away. Highly educational infographic from Tanya, who quite sensibly calls the contest the same way I do. If only all schools had access to charticles like these, eh?

For more Indianization, check out Indiana Jones and the Call of Cthulhu (an [...]

quiz: which Indiana Jones character are you?

June 26, 2007 – 8:14 am

There seems to be a slight difference of opinion among these quiz-type things. I mean, hey, if you can’t trust anonymous internet quiz-builders, who can you trust?
Check it out below. To really get your Indy on, do the quizzes and finish off by checking out our own dear, sweet re-edit job: Indiana Jones and the [...]

Sex and the City and the Matrix?

June 26, 2007 – 3:48 am

I must have missed that episode. Tell me, dear reader, would Carrie Bradshaw and Neo not have the dumbest, most perfectly styled baby of all time? Also, if that ain’t Laurence Fishburne, who the fuck is it? I recognize the White Rabbit.

web zen: R.A.W. zen

June 25, 2007 – 10:02 pm

You want Zen?
You can’t handle Zen, motherfucker.

Whatever you call them, you are wrong.
Whatever they call you, they are wrong.

 
Now, dear one, tell me: where do you call to? And to whom?
The true call is silent and there is no misunderstanding it
once your ears are tuned to hear it.

Transformers Mister Potatohead: Optimash Prime

June 25, 2007 – 9:24 pm

Ten bucks? How is this not sold out yet? Why, it’s almost as clever as Darth Tater!

 
He’s modeled more on the 80’s cartoon Optimus than the version we’ll see in theaters soon — and yes, we’re going, even if Michael Bay is a no-talent clown — and he even comes with a mini semi-truck, just [...]

Safe and stylin’

June 25, 2007 – 6:52 am

Like most Canuckistanis, I, too, have a cupboard full of empty plastic bags in which once groceries nestled happily and, generally speaking, somewhat cooperatively, although it must be admitted there was that one incident between the canned beans and the eggs…but about that we do not speak. Those are the terms of the settlement, and [...]
