Srebrenica, the music video

I’ve been meaning to steal this from Samaha for months now. It’s a gorgeous song, a lament for the victims of Srebrenica and Potocari, and is performed by Alma Ferovic.

quiz: what part of the immune system are you?

I’m totally psyched; this is SO me.
The immune system has many distinct parts that perform their own functions. They each sort of have a unique personality.
Are you a member of the body’s defence system? Do you have what it takes? Which one are you? After a few questions, you could be a certified body cell!

Which [...]

overallistas unite!

We’re coming out of the closet and there’s nothing you can do to stop us.
Yes, overall-wearers of the world, stand proudly, shoulder to denim-suspender-clad shoulder and tell the world, “You made us look at your bloody Crocs, for god’s sake, so suck it!“
Vote and support the movement on Daddy Likey (via the Manolo). First we [...]

it’s snowing in Vancouver RIGHT NOW

That is all.
June 24, 2007.
Jayzuz.
UPDATE: okay, a few details…
We’ve had a thunderstorm this afternoon, which we get maybe once every two-three years. And it’s raining now, just tiny drops, but two minutes ago it was FLAKES, for maybe a couple of minutes (that I noticed, I mean, Lotusland cliches aside, I don’t spend ALL my [...]

Nancy Drew in pregnancy shocker!

There goes the last of my childhood heroes. All I can say is, wow, that must have been quite the party. Can’t wait for the first grainy cellcam footage to show up on YouTube.

Actually, who am I kidding? Nancy had a stick up her ass the size of the Washington Monument. Trixie Belden was the [...]

Fundamental Islam finally goes too far!

I’m SO enraged about this, you have no idea. And it happened in Seattle, of all places!
Fundies! Bah! It’s not enough that they try to prevent girls from getting an education, cover women’s faces, and consequently subject Chanel cosmetics to vast overpricing in the finer Gulf department stores.
No.
Now they’ve finally done it. Forcing this gorgeous [...]

ninja defence tactics poster

Handy for office or home! Throw a couple in the car when you go camping, too! It’s always best to be prepared for anything, so be sure to team it with our Zombie Attack Safety Poster as well.
Stolen from the Grim’s Homepage.

Indiana Jones and the Call of Cthulhu: complete text

What do you people think? Is he going after Cthulhu this time?
It’s just too bloody perfect, you know. The protagonist in The Call of Cthulhu was an aging archaeologist with a reputation for doing things his own way. With his trusty buddy, Inspector Legrasse, he crosses the globe, attempting to puzzle out the mysterious connection [...]

Join the Harry Potter Challenge

Well, get a move on.
We have, as of this typing, exactly 29 days before the July 21st release of Harry Potter and the Deathly Cold Hallows, the seventh and allegedly final book in the Hogwartian Mythos Cycle.
Which is, should you be a speedy reader, just enough time to get through all of the previous books, [...]

quiz: has American culture ruined you?

American what?

You Have Not Been Ruined by American Culture

You’re nothing like the typical American. In fact, you may not be American at all.
You have a broad view of the world, and you’re very well informed.
And while you certainly have been influenced by American culture (who hasn’t?), it’s not your primary influence.
You take a more global [...]

Lambo whammo!

Plane vs car: guess who wins!

Now, it’s not really clear from the reporter’s description here, but it appears that a Cessna 172 (a delightful little plane, kind of the woody wagon of airplanes) full of FBI agents was taxiing to its hanger in Aurora, Oregon, when it collided with a Lamborghini Countach (an exquisite car, [...]

Terrified of losing your election? Try Incarcerex!

I’m pretty sure all the American presidential candidates are on this stuff. Yet another reason to draft Gore!

Simon Cowell vs Edna the Mother-in-Law

This goes a long way to explaining why the man’s never married. If all their mother-in-laws are like this, it’s a wonder British men ever get hitched.
Edna totally pwns him, too. Enjoy watching the fearsome Simon Cowell conquered, eating crow and smiling through his pain, for the first and possibly only time in his entire [...]

Best Before: this post is entirely motivated by my wish not to have a stupid quiz at the top of the blog the day I get a direct link from Defamer

There, I said it.
So now I’m just going to up and tell you about the time my mother was offered a quarter of a million for me.
Shoot. There goes the punchline.
So…previously on the ol’ raincoaster blog…my mother used to live in Riyadh with a CIA agent. Her job was at the King Fahd Hospital (I [...]

quiz: your love life secrets revealed!

Equal parts freaky-accurate and huh? (and I’m not telling you which is which) this is a fun one, just in time to warm you up for summer beach reads, summer love affairs, summer Bartles & Jaymes wine coolers…

Your Love Life Secrets Are

Looking back on your life, you will have a few true loves.You’ve been deeply [...]

Jack Bauer has his day in court

Imagine if you will Jack Bauer, the Dark Knight of the Sunny City, Abyss-staring, Monster-becoming, West Point lunatic-inspiring protagonist of the terrist-huntin’ television hit 24…
in court.
Hmmm. Messy.
There’s all the torture. All the dead people. There’s the gratuitous gunplay, quite palpably not followed up with proper paperwork. I’m even pretty sure there’s a bit on YouTube [...]

the Brits solve the perennial sex-with-uglies problem!

Surely no nation ever had a better incentive; in a world of readily available international travel and corrective lenses, pure-blooded Brits are in danger of dying out altogether.
For good reason.
Now, that font of all wisdom the Sun has revealed the solution, and the odds are it lies within your easy grasp, if you happen to [...]
