Harry Potter and the Titles of Doom

Emo Harry PotterThe Harry Potter that never was…yet.

Cap'n Wacky lists Titles of Harry Potter Fanfics We'd Rather Not Read. Grabbed via the unusually good today BoingBoing.

I think I like the last one best. But, really, replace "Harry Potter" with "Aragorn" and I think I not only read them, I was asked to proof and edit them. Sigh. Good times, good times.

Actually, everyone I know who writes fanfic writes absolutely 18+ V,VNSFW stuff, so perhaps its' best they don't tackle Potter. So to speak.

How about ANY OF THEM?

At last I have found you!

This was the very first video I ever saw on the web, and it has haunted my nightmares ever since. So I thought I'd share the pain. And no worries about the owner asserting his copyright and taking it down; can you imagine laying claim to this?

Leonard Nimoy performs the Ballad of Bilbo Baggins.

One minute and thirty-six seconds of absolute horror.

 

And look, a cover version. Some High Schoolers did a claymation Ballad of Bilbo Baggins, which sucks far less

 

Hey Whitney, how about a remake?

Stop the Madness, a 1985 anti-drug PSA from the Reagan White House, featuring Whitney Houston, LaToya Jackson, and some rockin' eighties dance moves! 

 

Carry your stick high, carry your stick proud

Forget Kiefer. We've got Mike! Mike Myers is Canada's cultural ambassador to the world. As Gawker has come to realize:

One stalker sighting we keep receiving and deleting usually looks like this:

9:30 PM: Mike Myers, Barrio Chino, carrying a hockey stick.

Why do we keep tossing Shrek aside? Because every single sighting we get of Mike Myers involves him carrying a hockey stick. Sunday morning mass? Hockey stick. Black-tie fundraiser at Cipriani? Hockey stick. It’s just absurd, we thought, and it seemed like a well-organized prank, a la Clooney, to flood the site with fake sightings.

Until we saw him last night, walking into Max Fish, carrying a hockey stick.

We’re so sorry we didn’t believe you.

Mike Myers, Canuckistanian terrorist

Why don’t I ever get any fan letters?

Well, I get a fair few from people who want me to check out their websites for All Best Ambien Viagra Love Pillz. But I certainly don't get any like this one. From ElleGirl, of all places, via Gawker. Apparently, while the envelope is on the letterhead of a hospital (let me guess what kind of wards they have…) the return address is an Alaskan homeless shelter called the Glory Hole.

Of course it is. Isn't this where Don Simpson came from?
