quiz: what book are you?

Stolen from az, who stole it from Archie. And scary-accurate, to say the least.


You’re Ulysses!

by James Joyce

Most people are convinced that you don’t make any sense, but compared to what else you could say, what you’re saying now makes tons of sense. What people do understand about you is your vulgarity, which has convinced people that you are at once brilliant and repugnant. Meanwhile you are content to wander around aimlessly, taking in the sights and sounds of the city. What you see is vast, almost limitless, and brings you additional fame. When no one is looking, you dream of being a Greek folk hero.

the market for #114: going long on Nasrallah

Well this is lovely. In a no-doubt outreachy and educational move, Lebanon has popularized sticker books featuring politicians. Not exactly the glamorous and exciting Lost in Space stickerbooks of my youth, they are nonetheless popular with collecting-y types. One particular thing stands out, however.

Hezbollah stickers

I got all the major politicians except Hassan Nasrallah. Apparently he’s a hard to find sticker. It makes me wonder who is making these stickers. By only printing a limited number of Nasrallahs, it may be a political statement. But at the same time, it means that the demand for Nasrallah is being driven up and he’s becoming more desirable. No matter how you look at it, Nasrallah is the hardest man to find in Lebanon.

Me, I think the CIA cornered the market and is passing them out to new recruits as part of the training process.

playgrounds of the Elder Gods

Cthulhu playground

Apparently, Cthulhu-themed playgrounds are all the rage in Japan recently. All I can think of to explain this phenomenon is that it’s a plan to precondition a generation of Japanese to happily enter the gaping maw of an enormous, tentacled being. An excellent strategy: most of the world is familiar with the convenience of having dinner delivered.
