Operation Global Media Domination: Technorati: for all your “faith in civilization” needs

Posted on by

Seriously. I never thought of reaffirming my faith in human nature by checking Technorati (particularly as it refuses to promote me from 18,694th place) but this, actually, is heartening:

Really, it’s most uplifting. Sure, we’ve got a titty model, a mindless entertainment site, a closeted neo-Gospel singer, a computer, a mindless hookup and boast site, the sound you make when swallowing a too-big vitamin pill, and a popular kind of canned beans, but then we also have, in the top ten blog searches in the world at this time, one of the greatest newly-dead philosophers in the world.

Now, if I only knew what Joost was…is it a Tang substitute?

quiz: pirate, ninja or cowboy?

Posted on by

Stolen from Pharyngula; does this result have something to do with the Squid fascination, I’m wondering? Also, does anyone know a nice, single cowboy? Didn’t Jean Lafitte retire to Texas, after all? There must be some attraction.

Arr matey. You may belive in honor, and justice, and you certainly have a sense of adventure. But mostly, you play by your own rules. Your code is your own and you are flexible in most situations.Dress flamboyant and look into a parrot. I think you’ll do fine.

nerdgasm: the making of Thunderbirds!

Posted on by

We all have our touchstones; the photograph of a child, a stone from the beach on which we fell in love, the first dollar we ever earned, a hard-won diploma, high school trophies wrapped in tissue paper and fond memories…

Supermarionation…

Here’s an ancient video Rosetta Stone from the previous century which purports to be the very first time the Thunderbirds were recorded on film. The premise that the ‘birds were merely puppets is, of course, the kind of elaborate conceit for which the French intellectuals of the mid-Twentieth Century were so well known. As we are all aware, the Thunderbirds were every bit as real as the constant threat of Communist invasion.

Who’s with me? Team Thunderbird: Operation GenX initiated! F.A.B.!!!

management techniques of the ancient Greeks

Posted on by

Remember to pronounce “Testicles” in style of the ancient Greeks as well: Tess-tick-LEEZ. As you know, we are all about the erudition and refinement here on the ol’ raincoaster blog.

Also note: way funnier than anything you could do with the word “Scrotum,” eh?

Maybe I won’t be passing that one along to Bridlepath…

now it can be told: Howard K Stern admits his sperm is useless

Posted on by

Gleesome Threesome?and Larry Birkhead‘s is better.

Howard K. Stern has reportedly admitted he’s not the father of Anna Nicole Smith’s daughter Dannielynn and is now willing to sign over the paternity rights to the man who believes he is the baby’s real dad, Larry Birkhead for the right price.

Now that, ladies and gentlemen, is a full-service lawyer. Not only will he be your beard, your bagman, and your drug runner, but he’ll also park custody of your kid until such time as the economics of the situation have been resolved to his professional satisfaction.

I do not know and can not say whether Howard K Stern and Anna Nicole Smith ever had sex, but I think we can all agree that he has certainly fucked Larry and Dannielynn over royally.
