Chapeau Crabe

I have a crab hat

Long have we dealt with the nay-sayers of millinery, the hecklers of hattitude, and long have we defended our position as pro-aquatic-yet-ecosensitive headgear activists. And now, from the upstart lolsite YourArgumentIsInvalid, comes this travesty of complete logical infarction.

The woman does, in fact, have a hat. The hat is made of crab. Indeed, crab is not simply the major component of the hat, but the hat itself IS a crab, adding metalayers of meaning and intertextuality that went over the heads of the no-doubt-conceptual-art-and-mad-hattery-deprived literalists at YAII.

For them, we can only pray. Hail Cthulhu!

Amazonia Alph says Spring is Here! Spring 2008!

You’ve heard of Punxatawny Phil. And mayhap you’ve heard of Wiarton Willie. And you may even have heard that estimates of the accuracy of their spring-predication (or is it predictification or perhaps prognostificationism?) vary from 30-50%.

Or even 0%, some years.

Well, meet the world’s most accurate weather-predictificating critter, with bonus albinofication (it makes them more sensitive to the sun, see, and that’s just got to be a good thing for a weather-predictificator, right?). Yep, Amazonia Alph here predicts that Spring 2008 will be late in arriving.

Amazonia Alph the Albino Aturtle

Let no man say that Amazonia Alph speaks too soon.

Alph currently resides in a palatial villa outside of Rio with his teenage concubines and a large collection of exotic cars, having retired to enjoy his poker fortune, obtained not by winning but simply by taking so long to make up his mind that all the other players had already died.

the birth of a notion

Well this should get old real fast:
