You’re the raincoaster? I don’t read many other blogs because I simply don’t have the time, but every time I’ve looked at yours I’ve enjoyed it. Great stuff.

operation global media domination: the rise of the Castoridaeian meme
In other words, the beaver shot as bellweather of the blogosphere.
You may have heard, if you’re not actually dead or offline (and what’s the difference, really?) that Britney Spears has been celebrating her recent weight loss and the birth of her second child by allowing her adoring public to check out the actual birth canal, with and without turquoise cooch-cosy.
This has the blogosphere in quite a tizzy. Unlike with the popularizer of beaver fever, Lindsay Lohan, Britney‘s snatch has been generally assumed to be off-limits, since at first she claimed it was unused, then claimed it belonged to Timberlake, and then to Federline. Now, it belongs to the people.
And what does this have to do with raincoaster’s Operation Global Media Domination? Just this: a rising skirt lifts all blogs, and my post of Lori‘s several months old beaver shots are one of the top posts on WordPress right now. Metro must be so proud. God knows, I’ll take the hits; I transcended dignity a very long time ago. I may be a joke, but I’m a PROUD one! Apparently, this particular post is #3 on Google when you search for “Beaver shots”.

how cocaine is produced
The subtitles while the coke peasants at lunch are the most interesting part of this fascinating video from Defamer (unless you actually use coke, in which case the whole thing is a paranoid can’t-tear-yourself-away fantasy trainwreck; I wonder how many OCD-related suicides will result from viewing this video).
“Do you do drugs?”
[laughter] “No, the guerrillas don’t allow it.”

Vancouver’s Chinatown in winter, a vignette
From Chowman on the Urban Diner Waiterforum. This will give you a bit of perspective on where I live and how immigrants adapt with creativity to our patented Canadian winters.
My favourite restaurant ice-clearing moment was at lunch today on Main Street. A cook was on his knees with a cleaver, hacking at the ice on the sidewalk in front of the restaurant. After each series of several hacks, a staff member would step forward with a shovel. I love teamwork.
Britney Spears on Sophocles’ Antigone
Ladies and gentlemen, when I found this from Christies auction house on Defamer I think my brain orgasmed itself to death in a gruesome orgy of fatalistic and absurd self-abuse. Behold Britney Spears‘s junior highschool paper on Sophocles‘ immortal Antigone, foremost among the ancient Greek tragedies and possibly the greatest play ever written.
Fellow comparative literature major, sister, mine own dear sister, knowest thou what ill there is, of all bequeathed by Alhazred, that Celebrity fulfils not for us while we live? Nothing painful is there, nothing fraught with ruin, no shame, no dishonour, that I have not seen in thy woes and mine.
And now what new edict is this of which they tell, that our Britney hath just published to all y’all? Knowest thou aught? Hast thou heard? Or is it hidden from thee that our pride and dignity are threatened with the doom of our scorned, culturally illiterate foes?
No email of friends, raincoaster, gladsome or painful, hath come to me, since we two sisters were bereft of our degrees, expelled in one day by twofold blow; and since in this last night the blog host hath crashed, know no more, whether my fortune be brighter, or more grievous.
I knew it well, and therefore sought to bring thee beyond the nosy receptionist, that thou mightest hear alone.
What is it? ‘Tis plain that thou art brooding on some dark tidings.
