start your week off right: with insanity

Have some of mine:

if that doesn’t meet your “madness baseline”, try this:
Sorority Babes in the Slimeball Bowl-O-Rama.

Still up for more? Here. That aught to do it.
Don’t say I ain’t never done nuthin’ for ya.

pic o’ the day: horse rescue!

Stolen from Bridlepath which reported on the original rescue and the prize-winning photo:

Dutch horse rescue photo

Photographer Laurens Aaij was awarded the Zilveren Camera 2006 on Monday, an award that recognises the best news photo from the past year.

He took the winning photo at the end of October in the Friesland village of Marrum, where more than a 100 horses were left stranded by flood waters.

The photo, with a white horse in the centre, was described by the jury as a symbol of hope. “Standing proud amid a muddy misery.”

It was judged the best photo from 9,147 entries.

quiz: which cryptid are you?

We all know what a cryptid is, don’t we? Well we should look it up, then!

This cannot be accurate: why would I not have been the Kraken? Obviously there’s a flaw in the code!

You scored as Nessie (Loch Ness Monster). You are Nessie. You are a highly sought after cryptid that loves the water. A skeleton of you has finally been found at Loch Ness, which is your home. Your cousin Ogopogo lives in Lake Okanagan in Canada.

I much prefer this one: Which Superhero Are You?

You scored as El Zorro. Zorro is the bane of the corrupt officials of Old California, a Spanish Robin Hood, a cavalier caballero who robs from the rich, gives to the poor, and always leaves his trademark “Z” behind as a reminder that when the people need him, he will always appear on his black stallion.

hymns of the 49th parallel: Simple and Love is Everything by kd lang

Hymns of the 49th Parallel is possibly the most perfect album Canada has ever produced, and this two-song promotional video may just be beautiful enough to do it justice. I’ve followed kd lang since she was a two-bit Edith Prickley impersonator bopping around on Tommy Hunter‘s show [originally wrote “bopping around on Tommy Hunter” but realized that, to non-Canadians, this would give entirely the wrong impression!] and her voice has just gotten better over time. This lovely black and white video brings these two lovely and contemplative songs to life in a uniquely Canadian way. I hope you like them (if you can’t hear them, go somewhere you can; don’t just sit there!).

Show me the luv at the Bloggie Awards, people!

sexytime with Mahatma Gandhi, pole dancer

Looks like YouTube got their caca together and fixed itself right on time; if it had been otherwise, I could never have brought you the following unique treasure, this retsina for your retinas, this Everclear for your eyeballs, this sulphuric acid for your synapses.

Ladies and gentlemen, behold the great Mahatma Gandhi, one of the 20th Century’s most inspiring and important figures, stripping and making sweet, sweet love to the pole, for your sick pleasure.
