Do you, too, remember this golden Cthristmas Cthlassic from your Cthildhood? I can remember the plot to this very day…
It was a dark and stormy night. In his house at Rlyeh, Great Cthulhu was Fhtagning.
Fhtagn, Cthulhu, Fhtagn.
But though dreaming, he was not dead. He merely seemed dead. In reality, his malign consciousness was free: free [...]

What yesterday taught me:
After ten at night, downtown in the boondocks is filled with attractive, well-dressed young couples strolling and chatting to one another and greeting friends.
After ten at night, downtown in Vancouver is filled with staggering drunks, beggars, dopey hipsters wearing secondhand clothing they haven’t even brushed the dead owner’s dandruff off, and those [...]

I. Can’t. Believe. that I didn’t post this last year. Or the year before. Or, like, ev-ar. But this is, in my opinion, the only acceptable update of that Christmas classic The Little Drummer Boy since Bing and Bowie. It is, ladies and gentlemen and those on whom the good Lord and the rest of [...]

Seattle Mayor Greg Nickels said,
“I don’t care what you call it as long as you ride it.”
Yes, folks, that’s what we around these parts call a real friendly city.

If they’re trying to use this enlightening ad to sell 42 Below, I’m thinking that the plan may have backfired. Click to enlarge, in case the details are fuzzy, as, indeed, they would be the next morning.

Oh my, this IS random.
And NSFW, lingo-wise.
As near as I can make out, it’s some kind of pervy European Keebler elf frat house theme song, subtitled. If you speak… uh, elvish, by all means provide a translation!

I know it rains a lot there, but this is entirely unnecessary, global warming or not. An Englishman with too much time on his hands, no aesthetic sense, and an apparent unawareness of the innumerable socializing opportunities afforded World of Warcraft enthusiasts and Star Trek fans, has converted his Vauxhall Corsa into a giant fish.

Yes, it’s another eruption from the unfettered subconscious of the internet’s most inadvertent superhero, Brian Atene. This one is an unused trailer for VH1’s “40 Greatest Internet Superstars,” unused because … well, see for yourself!

You’ve heard about it. Now you can watch it right here on the ol’ raincoaster blog, but be warned: Winona Ryder is just a little “unconventional,” however enthusiastic she may be. Okay, she’s crazy.
I don’t think that ventriloquist’s dummy knew what hit him!

Singing? I. Don’t. Think. So. The fact that I do NOT sing in public is proof that God exists and is merciful. Trust me.

Typical!
In a bid to take over where the Post Office leaves off (North Pole, postal code H0H 0H0) Microsoft this year introduced a Santa Claus MSN bot, for kids who, presumably, have better things to do that wait in line at the mall to talk to Santa.
Then they killed Santa.
