The results of this should be very interesting, coming from certain of my readers.
As for moi, no surprise.

O R’lyeh?
Stolen from Dossier‘s exhaustive roundup of Lols, which dwarfs those of all other lollisticles, even Laughing Squid; alas, they are not totally enchanted by my LolGoths, but that’s okay.
I’ve still got my poetry.
bonus discovery: LolCthulhu! As soon as I can load this machine with some graphics program less tarded than Paint I’ll be all over that like black, iridescent slime over the horribly mangled, decapitated corpse of a Shoggoth’s victim.

One again, we step through the looking glass, fall down the rabbit hole, cross the doorway to forever, tune in, turn on, and drop out and end up, somehow, in the crazy, mixed-up world of Brian Atene. In this episode…our hero underplays old skool it in a true tour de force of subtlety. Is it just me, or does Pacino crib off this guy?

I’ve got five bucks that says the head is severed and mounted on some kind of complicated crane OR free-floating on a levitating disk.

Raincoaster,
You’re out five bucks. Its simple puppetry. The head is a disgarded Bill Baird marionette from the ill fated Broadway run of “Baker Street”. You can see the strings clearly on the fade-in of the Kubrick video. I purchased the head in 1980. It’s modeled after actor Martin Gabel. – Atene

First there were lolcats (and note, please, that I am restraining myself from using lolspk here, or even l33t for verily, I am way dignified, yo).
Then there were lolgays. and gebrils. They’re big on gebrils. We even hear there are lolgeeks…
Now, to complete the lolfecta for the grand prize, there is:
As if this grand conceit were not already pluperfect, please identify the source of the following vintage meme, for additional geek points and a free virtual propeller beanie:
and here is your soundtrack, for rocking and geeking out.
Numa, numa, baby!
I love that the YouTube post for the following says, with a boundless and entirely irrational optimism, “See http://www.utalkmarketing.com for more like this,” almost as if you’d want to. The shrivelled and crusty cockles of one’s heart are bewarméd at their boyish enthusiasm and entirely unjustifiable pride in product. You GO, girlfriends!
How not to rap the classics: with a cheap squirrel costume, rancid moves, a transparent mercenaric desperation to appeal to “yoof,” and an intrusive fake “street” accent, eg the Lake Country‘s tourism campaign’s would-be-viral video of Wordsworth‘s great Romantic poem, “I Wandered Lonely as a Cloud“.
Contagious? Like ebola, baby! This thing has infected hard drives all over the world and, in fact, any laptop laid on a table that’s had an electronic device that has played this within the last thirty days is 80% likely to have its circuits liquified, spewing silicon in horrific gushes from every oriface.
Now, watch how it should be done, by that master of subtlety, The Shat!
Honestly, when William. Fucking. Shatner. pulls this off better than you, it’s time to turn in your Norton Anthology.
