a casual observation

Posted on by

I am meeting far too many people who won’t walk down certain streets, won’t go into certain restaurants, won’t attend certain parties, won’t set foot in certain parts of town, lest they encounter someone with whom they have become personally unpopular.

If I let that stop me, I’d never leave the apartment! So tell me, is icing people and burning bridges the new hotness, because if it is, howcum I’m not queen of the fucking prom?

Seriously, though, I like my way better. Just work patiently around them until either they want you back or all of their friends start to think THEY’RE the weird one.

Works every time.

Operation Global Media Domination: The Steve Jobs and Longhorse Situation

Posted on by

First of all: Steve Jobs is not dead.

Second: Bloomberg posted, then pulled, his obituary today, Gawker picked up on it, posted about it, and into the comments thread on that post I dropped a link to my over Steve Jobs’s dead body post, which has subsequently rocketed to the top of the stats page off of that third-hand high. This has, in turn, lifted the Steve Jobs=Cthulhu post to near the top of the Top Posts, as Steve Jobs surfers see the name in the sidebar and click. And a fine post it is, too (36 painstakingly collected links if I recall correctly)

Third: for no reason I can determine, the Longhorse post is suddenly getting a lot of attention, which suits me perfectly, as I consider it one of my best. And you will, too, once you’ve read it.

LA ICE: shovelling the snowbacks back

Posted on by

This is remarkable video of one of LA’s most secretive police units, ICE: Illegal Canadian Enforcement. They sweep the streets clean of Canuckistani invaders, tipped off by nothing more than a glimpse of an NHL jersey, a whiff of maple syrup, or just a whistled bar of “Snowbird.”

Fear them.

We will return to our regularly-scheduled blogging once these weird errors stop happening.
