hot or not: rate my flag

IAO original logo, yo

Well, not my flag, per se, because being territorial yet impecunious means that I have not yet seized a mountain fortress, nor a tropical island lair. But as soon as I do, I’ll send out an email blast and invite for the opening, which will be my long-delayed and fondly anticipated Freaky Tiki goth/tiki party. The flag, of course, will feature the logo of the Total Information Awareness Project of the Department of Homeland Security, as all Operation Global Media Domination graphics must.

In the meantime, click this link and go make fun of the wallflower-quality flags of Liechtenstein and the Isle of Man. Be sure to check out the link to Historical Facts about each, courtesy of the CIA, and to see how many people agreed with you, because it is so, so important never to swim against the current.

Some things, my friends, never change. Working the technical support front lines is one of those things. Here’s the best thing to come out of Norway since…ever.

Cthulhu Cthamp for Kthids.

Cthulhu House

Ah yes, this is what I look for in a summer camp: tentacles. When deciding which godforsaken pit of vipers you’re going to pay to store your children for a couple of weeks, it’s so, so very important to make sure that you choose one that will teach them skills they will need in life as they’re growing up.

Coping with Cthulhu is, obviously, one of those skills.

The Russians, whose Soviet-era abandoned summer camp this is, were obviously miles ahead of the West in Elder God Preparations; only the fall of Communism put an end to their highly sophisticated program, closing the Appeasement of the Ancient Ones Gap between East and West.

token Dead Elvis post: Happy 30th Anniversary, Necronaut!

ELVIS! Elvis is the King!

Thirty long years have passed and I’ve still never been able to eat a pan-fried bacon and peanut butter sandwich on the crapper without sobbing…

Here’s your token Dead Elvis item, from Ruby Carpet:

A multitude of fans in Memphis gathered in sweltering heat to pay homage to Elvis Presley on the 30th anniversary of the singer’s death, resulting in the death of one 67-year-old woman in the crowd. But… is she really dead?
