Heeeeeee’s back! Everyone’s favorite Elder God is standing by to take your calls now on that smash hit show, Calls for Cthulhu! Call 1-800-SOL-EATR or email cthulhu.hotstud1413 at gmail.com now!
This is a big step for us here at the ol’ raincoaster blog: an absolute, 100% original (well, repurposed) quiz, based on the questionnaire used to screen jurors in the selection for the famous Phil Spector murder trial. I typed it up mine own seff, and I couldn’t be prouder of my baby! If only I knew how to fit that picture of his hair in the upload box, I’d be cooking with gas!
You scored as Alternate Juror. Congratulations, you are one hardboiled sumbitch and you have what it takes to be an Alternate Juror. Hell, you’re probably already a celebrity assistant, or if not you will be soon! Wear your best cashmere to court and wait for the offers!
Are you Phil Spector jury member material? |
Words.
Fail.
Me.
From the BBC, for the LOVE OF THE SWEET BABY JESUS, via Reddit:
A West Midlands family is playing a central role in the quest to raise the profile of a forgotten British dish – faggots.
The Doody family from Wolverhampton has been crowned The Faggot Family in a national competition, and to kick off their reign they will launch National Faggot Week.
The family will be touring the country extolling the virtues of the dish, which is best-known for its links with the Black Country.
Oh, they just had to get racism in there too, didn’t they?
Also: bonus headline on that page:
Probably Jude Law’s DNA.
We don’t know who wrote this, but I stole it from Dr. Mike: here are 50 things not to do at Hogwarts. Or rather, here are just the ones I like the very most bestest:
50 Things NOT to do at Hogwarts
1. I will not poke Hufflepuffs with spoons, nor will I insist that their House colors indicate that they are “covered in bees”.
2. No matter how good a fake Australian accent I can do, I will not imitate Steve Irwin during Care of Magical Creatures class.
4. “I’ve heard every possible joke about Oliver Wood’s name” is not a challenge.
5. I am not allowed to attempt to breed a liger.
6. I will not go to class skyclad.
7.The Giant Squid is not an appropriate date to the Yule Ball. [ed. note: Goddammit! Now I need to line up another date!]
10. Polishing my wand in the common room is acceptable. “Polishing my wand” in the common room is not.
11. If a classmate falls asleep, I will not take advantage of that fact and draw a Dark Mark on their arm.
14. I will not start every Potions class by asking Professor Snape if today’s project is suitable for use as a sexual lubricant.
17. Seamus Finnegan is not “after me Lucky Charms”.
21. It is exceptionally tasteless to tell Professor Lupin that “Once you go Black, you never go back.”
24. I am not to refer to the Potions classroom as “Kitchen Stadium”.
28. I am allowed to have a toad, rat, cat, or owl. I am not allowed to have a reticulated python, snow leopard, Tasmanian devil, or piranha.
37. There is no such thing as an Invisibility Thong.
38. I am not a Pinball Wizard.
47. I will not ask Dumbledore to show me the pointy hat trick.
48. I will not greet Professor McGonagall with “What’s new, pussycat?”
