The Swag Report: Swag Yourself!

July 8, 2008 – 9:49 am

Attention girls, women, womyn, ladies, and Eddie Izzards of the Blogosphere: over at TeenyManolo we are giving away a super-stylin’ Stila lip glaze stick, worth $16.50 in American Greenbacks. You put out for us, you win a chance to get us to put out for you. Which is kind of like gender reversal, but whatever.

The prize is a full tuition scholarship to internationally-respected Vancouver Film School, the school out of which Kevin Smith [...]

what are they putting in the water over there?

September 22, 2007 – 10:58 am

Seriously, this is ridiculous.

That’s a catfish the way a sabertoothed tiger is a cat. You’re looking at a record-breaking 66 pounds of fish sticks (a gazillionty-seven kilograms, howthefuckshouldiknoweh) landed by Bev Street, a deceptively mild-mannered housewife with, obviously, a lethal antipathy to free-range freshwater fish.
In unrelated news, I have recently deleted our dear friend StevenL [...]

camel cheese: Miss Camel beauty pageant

September 1, 2007 – 9:50 am

You didn’t think there could be more on the scintillating topic of camel cheese, didja? But there iiiiiiis! This makes the grade because it is both cameltacular and cheesy in the extreme.
BTW, doing well on Google for camel toe as well.
Those familiar with the JonBenet Ramsay case, the movie Little Miss Sunshine, or Sexually Repressed [...]

iron, men

August 14, 2007 – 2:58 am

And now for the latest in our series on the Ideal Man.

But do you know about Extreme Iron Men?

Extreme [...]

All Star Hooker Sting

July 18, 2007 – 9:57 am

Ah, baseball.
Sport of the gods. Oh, don’t let those Buddhists fool you: the gods are highly competitive. The Norse vs the Blackfoot, the Aztec vs the Animist. And now that nobody actually worships them in any meaningful way, they have sublimated their divine battles into the true sport of the gods (sport of kings eat [...]

Join the Harry Potter Challenge

June 23, 2007 – 4:56 am

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, [...]

Caption Contest: George W. Bush

June 11, 2007 – 11:01 am

As usual, win vast fame and the right to be eaten first when the Earth is cleared off. No cash.
Stolen from Gawker, who stole it from Towelroad, who stole it from Getty. I THINK. These geopolitical media conspiracies are so damn confusing since I stopped reading The Nation.

My suggestion, if the LolMaker (TM) were working [...]
