tag and release

Never forget! 

Tag, anyway. Release? I dunno: I get off on blogging, but how was it for you?

Despite my noted antipathy towards chain letters, meme-tagging, and all associated nonsense, both the esteemed Juvenal and the self-esteemed Stilletto Girl have tagged me as being a Thogger.

The participation rules are simple:

1. If, and only if, you get tagged, write a post with links to 5 blogs that make you think,
2. Link to this post so that people can easily find the exact origin of the meme,
3. Optional: Proudly display the ‘Thinking Blogger Award’ with a link to the post that you wrote (here is an alternative silver version if gold doesn’t fit your blog).

This is better than it sounds, and really quite brave of them, all things considered.

So I’m a blog that makes you think, eh? Probably one that makes you think Canadians are a group of degenerate, tentacled, squid-souled anarchists, and quite right you are (note that all Canadians who do not fit that description are, in fact, Albertans). I am flattered nonetheless.

Release: In the spirit of Anarchy, I’m passing this tag along to anyone who wants to volunteer for it. I have a rare, refined, and reflective group of readers and feel confident that anyone who would step up for this is both ballsy and thought-provoking.

Anyone? Bueller? Bueller?

Keith Richards: oh no he DIDN’T!

Keith Richards was pretty...forty years ago 

No, really, he didn’t.

Despite remarks made in an interview with NME, Keith Richards did not mix his father’s cremated remains with coke and snort it.

So that is one thing on Earth that Keith Richards hasn’t tried. The clock is ticking, though, and besides, if I had those two unnaturally scrawny brats of his I wouldn’t want to give them any ideas.

The Keef is immortal!

So much for the sexy professor type…

Hmmm. Vin Diesel, eh? I’d always thought of myself as more the type to favour George Stephanopoulos or Alan Rickman, but neither of them were an option. Could we split the difference and give me Viggo in Darkly Noon? or David Wenham in 300?

Loan? Pretty please?

300 spoofs!

Say hello to the world’s crabbiest geography teacher:

This! Is! Spartaaaaaaaa! 

 And a new meme is born.

Thanks to engtech for these: a thread consisting of nothing but dozens upon dozens of joke 300 images. You’d think the man would have something better to do than feed my obsession, but apparently not. We could all learn from his example.

Xerxes is big pimpin'

the green meanies: a scientific investigation

blue-green meanieSo for the past four days I’ve been on a rather extreme form of diet; yes me, who never goes on diets. And, in the world of diets, faddy or otherwise, it would be hard to find one more extreme than this one. You see, I am not allowed to eat food on this diet.

Let me repeat that: I am not allowed to eat food on this diet.

There is a very good reason the word “Diet” derives from the root word “Die.”

Click onward if you dare and read the entire 2007-word, heart-rending, or at least angina-producing, saga.
