operation global media domination: the rise of the Castoridaeian meme

TIAIn 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”.

Remix or original, Linus still has the best lines. It would make sense that he grew up to be George Clooney.

THE definitive raincoaster quiz

My heart leaped up when my eyes saw this one! Yes, we’ve been quiz-heavy over the past 24 hours it is true, but there exists in this world not the slightest chance that raincoaster was gonna let this one get past her without taking credit where credit is, according to the Quiz Gods, due.

Bow down and worship me, mortals, lest ye be driven to gibbering madness to quench the divine thirst of the Greatest of the Great Old Ones, mighty Cthulhu!

Oooh, there’ll be no living with me after this!

Cthulhu, yo!

You scored as Cthulhu. You are Great Cthulhu! You lay and dream at home (or the beach) most of the time but one day (when the stars are right) you will suddenly have the power to get out there and show the world what youre made of! Lets hope you dont do too much damage……

quiz: which Disney character are you?

What the hell, it’s easier than writing my own content. And, apparently, more popular. We’re blogging quick and dirty today, both because we’re doing a temporary move at casa del raincoaster and because WordPress’s back end is going down for a few hours (gee, I must not have my sexual metaphors straight…thought that wasn’t how it worked).

You scored as Donald Duck. Your alter ego is Donald Duck! Try as you might, you have a nasty temper that is hard to control. But you try hard to please, and you aren’t one to go down without a fight.

quiz: what kind of literature are you?

momma likes! And again, all too true.

You scored as A classic novel. Almost everyone showers praise upon you for your depth and enduring relevance. According to your acolytes, everything you say is timeless, erudite and meaningful. Of course, none of them actually listen to you. Nobody listens to you at all, but it’s fashionable to claim you as a friend. [not actually true: Iain Dale listens to me, although he will not, apparently, give me another link. I should invoice him!] Fond of obscure words, antiquated notions and libraries, you never have a problem finding someone to hang out with. The fact that they end up using you to balance their kitchen tables is an unfortunate side effect, but you’re used to being used for others’ benefit. Oh the burden of being Great.
