hot or not: rate my flag

 

Well, not my flag, per se, because being territorial yet impecunious means that I have not yet seized a mountain fortress, nor a tropical island lair. But as soon as I do, I’ll send out an email blast and invite for the opening, which will be my long-delayed and fondly anticipated Freaky Tiki goth/tiki party. [...]

camel cheese: the video!

Camel cheese; it’s not just for breakfast anymore.
More in our ongoing camel cheese coverage:

Ya learn something new every day, eh?

camel cheese

Camel cheese is both food and a meme, concept and reality, challenge and reward.
Camel cheese, camel cheese, camel cheese. Camel cheese, camel cheese, camel cheese. Camel cheese, camel cheese, camel cheese. Camel cheese, camel cheese, camel cheese. Camel cheese, camel cheese, camel cheese.
Camel cheese is rumoured to be nonallergenic, and the production of camel cheese [...]

steal this: don’t block the blog letter

Here is a really quite flawless letter that cjwriter wrote to the Turkish Ambassador to Australia regarding the recent banning of all WordPress.com blogs in Turkey (and, indirectly, Albania, because Albania gets much of its internet access from Turkey). I suggest, as he suggests, that you copy and adapt the text and send it to [...]

it’s never too late: Harry Potter spoiler generator

No, really. It’s never too late. I still haven’t read the last one!

My Harry Potter Spoiler of Doom is:
Draco Malfoy becomes a billionaire in the software market by using Mooncalf dung
Get your Harry Potter Spoiler of Doom

Actually, anyone such as myself who PAID for WindowsME could tell you that this one came [...]

the anticlimactic fortune-teller!

Not nearly as amusing as the Fortune Cookie Generator, but still cheaper than a real Gypsy, this is, however, more likely to be accurate given my well-known diner burger fetish and the fact that I eat at relatively crappy restaurants most of the time.

Your Anti Climactic Fortune

Deep into your future, I forsee: Cold french fries

god almighty!

Seriously, normal service shall resume shortly. But until it does, play with this funky, website-freakinating and bustickating toolbar, via Collin. Don’t forget to pull his finger!
Not Collin’s. God’s!

the freakiest story I’m too tired to post

Seriously weird. Seriously, seriously freaky. Probably fake. “The one that got away” takes on new meaning in this tale of lost loves at sea…
Via (where else would you expect?) the Guardian’s Political Diary.
“Almost everybody in the fishing business has had sex with a manta at some point,” Makeburu asserts.
What!!! A manta??? You mean one [...]

Cock Puppets: NSFW or language police

There’s a sexist extended (!) metaphor to be made here, but I’m just too lazy. Help yourselves. Also: see what I did there?
Oh, and: NSFW. Duh.

normal service shall resume shortly

but until I am fully recovered (honestly, WordPress outages, locked out of my new blog, poison spider bites, flu, my internet access goes down, and slicing my thumb open on a yogurt container, ffs! And it’s only Tuesday!) here’s a lolcat. I heer u like thoz.

An epic battle of apathetic grandeur.

it’s quiet. too quiet

It may well be quiet around here (that’s the natural aftermath of fighting off a venomous spider…you really just want to go lie down and have food and refreshing beverages brought to you) but I know somewhere that’s simply radiating vitality, having sprung fully-formed from the forehead of Coco Chanel.
Teeny Manolo, my new blog.
What are [...]

I was bitten by a poisonous spider

and it died.
Think about that the next time you try to get in my face about … anything at all.
I’m just saying.
PS: so there are black widow spiders here in Vancouver. You learn something new every day, eh?
Give me my footie pjs, put on my cat; I have
Immortal longings in me: now no more

Photoessay o’ the Day: the Eight Phases of Goatse

I’m just going to assume you know what I’m talking about, because after all, we’re all adults on the internets and we have been around a turn or two, didn’t just fall off the novelty USB device truck, we’ve had it in the ear before.
So. Goatse And The Eight Phases Thereof: a photoessay
A phenomenon [...]

the four Yorkshiremen

I’ve been meaning to steal this for some time, but have been holding off because the blogger from whom I stole it was threatened right off the Internet by that anal retentive egotist “Hitchens‘ little brother,” not to be confused with his more powerful and eloquent brother, nor with The Hitch, who is far more [...]

a hedge fund manager explains everything

Well, a hedge fund manager explains in unique, hedge fund managerial style; which is to say, you might as well take a hit of acid, down a few fingers (say, nine) of tequila, and put on an audiotape of the Math Olympics while watching an old 16mm reel of The Candidate simultaneous with a laserdisc [...]

Medieval helpdesk

Some things, my friends, never change. Working the technical support front lines is one of those things. Here’s the best thing to come out of Norway since…ever.

makeover for raincoaster

Well? What do you think of my new look?
Aw, who am I kidding? I love it and don’t care what anybody else thinks, I’m sticking with it. This is a sentiment with which I am intimately familiar, having been a fan of olive green and iridescent purple nail polish since before Madonna wore black. Mind [...]

quiz: which carnival ride are you?

You Are a Carousel

You are young at heart and a truly playful person. No one would ever accuse you of taking life too seriously.
You are definitely in things for the fun. You find joy easily, and you are often building up anticipation for your next adventure.
In relationships, you tend to want to be babied and [...]
