I love both of these memes, but I just can’t make up my mind which I like more. Or which I identify with more. Help me decide: is it to be Courage Wolf or Sexually Oblivious Rhino which becomes the mascot of the ol’ raincoaster blog?
Courage Wolf shits bigger than you
OR
Sexually Oblivious Rhino doesn't know what you mean by that
What say you all?
Sadface! No Happy Endings?

Seriously, you call THAT a spa? Actually, I’m intrigued by the concept of a day spa for “Lady Orchids” that offers massages, and can definitely see where the confusion arose.
Georgia O'Keeffe should get that inflamed ladyflower to the gynecologist STAT
Once again I am confronted with the certain realization that other people are watching a completely different kind of porn from me.
Internet Love never works out. Lavalife has a lot to answer for.
Haven’t we all had that experience? The tall, handsome, male charmer online somehow morphs, in between tweeting and meeting, into a stubby, Faces-of-Meth, hermaphroditic, spectrum disorder-having bedwetter. Oh, there may be plenty of fish out there, but YOU try getting one to make conversation over a nice entree.
The Booty Call of Cthulhu
Kate Gosselin will settle for just ANYONE.
Anybody need a stiff drink after that? Apparently I need a Bloody Mary:
You Are a Bloody Mary |
 You’re a fairly serious drinker who’s experimented a lot with different drinks. You know what you like to drink, but you’re not a snob. You’ll drink anything in a pinch. You’re a drunk, but you are a stable drunk. You don’t ever let your drinking get out of control.You’re the one who keeps everyone levelheaded, even if you’ve had the most to drink. |
If you don’t feel like a drink but have been inspired to take quite a different kind of action, here’s the “what kind of toilet user are you” quiz that you didn’t know you were waiting for.
Your Toilet Personality is Social |
 You’ll go anywhere, anytime, with anyone. In fact, you secretly talk on the phone when you’re in your “office.” For you, going to the bathroom is no big deal. And you going shouldn’t be for anyone else either. You don’t mind public restrooms – in fact, you sort of like the energy they bring to the act.When you’re on the toilet, you consider yourself a bit of a performance artist. |
As always, your mileage may vary. And so via natural progression to the celebrity gossip links for today.

Julian Assange in custody. At least Swifter let him keep his cup of cocoa.
Well, that’s that. Julian Paul Assange, the world’s favorite Bond Villain, is headed off on an all-expenses-but-the-one-that-counts-paid trip to Sweden, courtesy of the UK court system, which ruled today that there is no human rights violation in Sweden’s choice to prosecute Assange and, further, none in their decision to do so in a private trial. You can read the whole thing below:
and download it directly from the court site, and, for the very BEST live coverage, you should have been watching Ravi Somaiya’s live twitter stream from the trial itself. Plus this:
And yes, “Sextradited” as a term will TOTALLY happen. I just wish I could remember who coined it.
UPDATE: it was AlphaKat on Gawker.
UPDATED UPDATE: And here is Assange’s statement from outside the courthouse, where he’s again free on bail:
Belmarsh was a rubber stamping process. It comes as no surprise but is nevertheless wrong. It comes as the result of a European arrest warrant system amok.
There was no consideration of the allegations made against me. No consideration of the complaints against me in Sweden.
We have always known we would appeal. We have always known in all likelihood we would have to appeal. Ninety five percent of all European arrest warrants are successful […]
[…] What does the United States have to do with a Swedish Extradition process?
It has been falsely stated that I said the CIA or Pentagon was involved in the initial allegation. I have never said that. I have never said who was behind those allegations, simply that they were untrue.
Why is it that I am subject – a non-profit free speech activist – that I am subject to a £200,000 bail, that I am subject to house arrest when I have never been charged in any country.
The scrutiny of the European arrest warrant system needs to begin now, it cannot be the case that filling two pages with someone’s name and a suspicion – not a charge – can lead to their extradition to one of 26 European nations.
Three people a day are being extradited from the UK under a rubber stamp process.
Julian Assange waits patiently for me, but why isn't he nekkid?
Just a late note, in case the Post Office is still delivering. I posted it on Gawker days ago, but I don’t think he reads that rag.
Is it TOO MUCH TO ASK, Universe, to wake up on Christmas morning to find Julian Assange and Laird Hamilton under the tree, naked, tied together with leather straps, and very happy to see me?I mean, fuck. Is it TOO MUCH TO ASK?
@raincoaster: hell, I’m in. I’d like colin firth and matthew goode, please@raincoaster: I wouldn’t want to mess with Gabrielle Reece’s man. She looks fierce.@Salome Valentine: I KNOW! Besides, I love her and their baby is adorable. But he’s gorgeous.@LatestBy: You’re telling me. I have two, actually: blond hunks and arrogant geniuses. Steve Jobs is in the latter category.@raincoaster: Have you ever seen this episode ofIconoclasts? It’s my favorite (Eddie Vedder & Laird Hamilton).@Salome Valentine: Oh, sigh. Christmas has come early!He’s so much like a blond Henry Rollins, only without the aggro and about 30IQ points. Sigh.
