Buy this damn thing

Posted on by

I hear that I’m allowed one discreet text link to an item that’s delegated its power to the Capitalist Conspiracy, ie something for sale, so here it is.

Buy This Damn Thing

For the love of god, would you click through and purchase that fucker already? Vicus is going to whine uncontrollably until everyone on Earth has at least one copy, and god forbid he get maudlin about it and start with the weepy Sixties folk tunes. If the book doesn’t sell out, don’t blame me if the blogosphere is subjected to nothing but recitals of bloody Kumbiyah in creaky and wistful Donovan style for the next six straight months.

emoticons of the gods

Posted on by

Here, by way of UniqueDaily (for whose 286 clickthroughs to SuperOctopus we are very grateful indeed) is the super global masterlist of internet emoticons. From Midget Smileys to Mega Smileys, it’s got them all.

For those unfamiliar with the concept, emoticons are what geeks have instead of facial expressions, body language, or interpersonal skillz.

Some practical examples you can put to immediate use in your daily lives:

{:-) User wears a toupee.

}:-( Toupee in an updraft.

:-[ User is a vampire.

:-E Bucktoothed vampire.

:-F Bucktoothed vampire with one tooth missing.

-:-) User is a punk rocker.

-:-( Real punk rockers don’t smile.

(8-o It’s Mr. Bill!

d8= Your pet beaver is wearing goggles and a hard hat.

C= 2>;*{)) A drunk, devilish chef with a toupee in an updraft, a mustache, and a double chin.

Satan's Alarm ClockThanks to the ever-resourceful and only seemingly-benevolent Colin in the WP forums, I now have a timely, sensitive, and highly effective method of payback the next time I’m stuck at a public computer beside some mouthbreathing, grunting microcephaloid. Or the next time you are!

Make sure the offending lower life form can see your monitor. Close your eyes in a moment of prayer, perhaps moving your lips slightly in an inaudible entreaty. Then sigh deeply, look heavenward, and hit this link:
