It’s that perennial Christmas favorite from General Ursus; you remember him, the chauvinistic, homicidal military fascist from the Planet of the Apes? not Dr. Zaius, the one with the blog and the snappy musical. The other one.
Played (as always) by GenX icon and YouTube favorite and phenomenon Brian Atene, who teases us that he has more where that came from, going up on Christmas Day.
It’s not the slightest bit Christmassy, but this just can’t wait. Its urgency is palpable. (go on, palpate it)
Spork, a humble re-edit of Zachary Quinto‘s audiobook from the recent Star Trek movie is nothing more than the greatest iteration of fan fiction in the Kirk/Spock slash canon, including the hitherto-untouchable Closer music video.

His lower lip swollen, Spock looked up at him. It was difficult to tell, but it was possible that he was pleased.
Spock wasn’t finished. Abruptly he stood up. “Gngngfnferrrrnrrfgggg!” Kirk was more than slightly confused. “What?” Spock was forced to swallow.

Oh yeah, baby! I’d totally rock the mutant space, and they know it. Why, Wolverine is covering his genitals with his hands AS WE SPEAK!
Although I was always more of a DC than Marvel person. Hmmm, is this like Saul‘s vision on the road to … where was he going again? Stan Lee‘s house?
You Are “ZAP” |

You would be relying on your brains instead of brawn. And it’s likely that “Zap” would be a sound that villains hear as you’re taking them down! Over time, it’s likely that you’d morph into some sort of super human. There’s only so much experimenting you can do on yourself before you become a mutant. But even if you had super strength, you’d still love the thrill of shooting off your latest weapon. |
Sesame Street, that beloved icon of childhood, where we learned everything we needed to know that later showed up in an overpriced book on business leadership
We thought that a neighborhood of loveable, shaggy Muppets would escape the ravages of the recession: my friends, we were wrong. So, so wrong.
In a tearful announcement earlier today, Kermit the Frog announced that, effective immediately, Sesame Street will lay off 20% of its workforce. While he refused to give specifics, he did indicate that the cuts would be made from the on-air staff, leaving no-one immune to these Draconian cost-cutting measures. Out of approximately 140 Muppets, this represents a loss of 28 beloved characters. Who will it be???

Pogey Day
Sweepin’ the sun away
On my way to get my benefits
Can you tell me how to get,
How to get to the EI office, please?
Come line up
It’s fun to be a grup
Friendly social workers
Will see you now
Can you tell me how to get
How to get what’s coming to me?
It’s an Orwellian ride
Every one will be pushed aside
Unhappy people like you–
Unhappy people like…
What a terrible…
Dreary Day
Smokin’ my cares away
Off my head, here where the air is sweet
Can you tell me how to get,
How to get to …
Um, I forget.
