Chilling Effects: London Tube has no sensa uma, despite really pun-ready name

Posted on by

London TubeSorry about the ugly link. Firefox is, apparently, not as user-friendly as IE and SPARE ME your dork lectures. Had them already, when I complained about my bike being inconvenient to ride. “Oh, that’s just because you don’t have an A-47.6665DoRKTastic helmet and you insist on wearing regular clothes, rather than buying a whole bike-specific, dorktastic outfit that makes you look like a beefy extra from a 50’s sci-fi movie, and why do you insist on wearing a backpack? Everyone knows you have to use panniers and then when you get to the destination you take the panniers off because otherwise they’d be stolen and presumably you pull your backpack out of them and put them into the backpack and hit a public washroom to change out of your alien reentry costume before going to your meeting…hey, wait! I wasn’t finished! There’s more…

Okay, nevermind. Got IE back, and we, the raincoaster administrative staff, are purtifying our links apace! See, purty link right’cheer to Silly Maps of London Tube

In any case, ignore my bitter, ex-cyclist rantings and click on the link, where you will NOT be able to see a funny, fan-created anagrammatic map of the London Underground. And why can you not see it? Because the Tube Authority (wasn’t that in some Margaret Atwood book?) has decreed it violated copyright. Lest we fergit, Toronto did the same damn thing; apparently, brains are in short supply in the transit industry.

Meanwhile, across the pond…

Fortunately, my friend from Norway (Norway? It is Norway, right? One of those, anyway) sent me one. From Norway, via Japan, with luv. I was with Starbucks for seven years and every time I tried to do something like this it just ended up looking like a very tan vagina.

Linkie: Engerrish Menu of Unspeakable Horror

Honestly. “Cowboy Meat?”

I wish I could shit you.

Engerrish

I was so stunned by the English blunders herein, I had to buy the menu from them. Can you imagine the scene when that happened? I’ll never forget it. They couldn’t decide whether to be flattered or confused.

Seriously, you have to check out this link. The menu is only the start of the fun; this commentator is being wasted. That is who should be hosting the Oscars, ferchrissakes.

Well officer, it was like this…

I do not have the backstory here, but surely it must be one of the immortal ones.

Man hospitalized after his penis was attacked by a Jack Russell Terrier.

That is either a very tall dog, or a very dumb man. And may I ask what kind of German keeps an attack Jack Russell?Jack Attacks

Can’t wait to find out how the dog happened to get access to the penis…was he playing with a terrier nekkid? Stuffing Fido down his pants? And what did the owner’s girlfriend have to do with all of this?
