eating lunch is a bug

  1. 600 lb guy causes crematory grease fire
  2. The Buffalo Beast presents: Faith-based comics!
  3. BLOG ABOUT BACON
  4. I am a diehard liberal Democrat, but this guy makes some disturbingly good points about how we’ve failed.
  5. Season Shot has to be a prank. Has to be. But wow! Honey lemon shotgun blast!
  6. Oh hey great, it’s spontaneous combustion time at the big science place where they keep the atomic things.

linksmanship, the lowest form of bloggery

  3. DRUNKEN SCOTSMEN TO BE GIVEN LOLLIPOPS
  4. Someone thinks that a police state crackdown is an appropriate theme for a sexy fashion shoot. Someone is wrong. Note: may be triggering due to violence against women. May also be triggering due to total cluelessness.
  5. hyniof presents The Bar Scene, as acted out by sirive‘s “Those Guys” characters.

Editor’s note: I make posts with links a lot, in the style of memepool. If your viewing style does not show links as underlined or otherwise different you will not see them. I think many people mistakenly set their viewing style that way and miss my links and other people’s, thereby making this whole “web” medium kind of pointless. Check it!

this is the way the world ends, not with a bang but a Hummer

  1. Welcome to Orange County, where being a summer reading star gets you deadly, lead-tainted toy prizes from the library!
  2. Welcome to Orange County, where a nice crab roll at Riptide Sushi fills your lungs with ravenous, deadly parasites! Edit: link fixed
  3. Welcome to Orange County, where even the [correction] guy who looks like a carnie biker to the Register, who fixes cop cars and drinks at Skosh Monahan’s thinks that the mayor of Costa Mesa is fucking shit up with his anti-Mexican pogrom.
  4. Welcome to America, where we push our children through our gigantic supermarkets in remotely managed mind control devices on wheels.
  5. Welcome to New Orleans, where a night in jail turned into the Raft of the Medusa last year.
  6. And now, welcome back to Orange County, where the richest, whitest, prettiest kids in the world will try to convert you you a religion they cannot in any meaningful way understand.

My new discipline is to be called “Forensic Futurology”

  1. This newly translated novel by an unpronouncable Kenyan looks very good. I like the idea of the dictator who wants to build the world’s biggest structure and instead gets bigger and bigger himself.
  2. They don’t look like the sort of earring men usually wear, but I’m attracted by the idea of a neurotransmitter hanging off my ear. I’d choose dopamine I think.
  3. Green stuff might make computers faster. Maybe I should try that green marker on the CD thing now too.
  4. NORWEGIAN SALMON CREAM CHEESE GOLDEN CRUST PIZZA
  5. If you’re near a Philippine volcano, the full moon may actually be very dangerous.

even a baby sloar is kind of big

  1. Set aside your troubles, we haven’t been murdalized by a giant CGI asteroid.
  2. Of course we have at least 99 problems to set aside.
  3. One of our problems is making sure the Dewey Decimal number for porches is correct.
  4. Kevin recommends that you stalk yourself annually to find out what everyone else already knows.
  5. Evangelical Christianity and American right-wing party politics have become almost an identity, but one pastor was willing to give up one for the other, even at great personal and professional cost. His book and other writings and audio are on his church’s website.
  6. If you’re, like, a total bitch, you should use Lydia Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound.

Today all of the subject lines on my craigslist feeds are Smiths songs, somehow:

TIFFANY HARVEY WHERE ARE YOU MY DAUGHTER
Missed something (OC to Hellman)
red running shorts
To chastity from deja vu
Exhausting all means (Irvine)
Sweetie with herpes

drinking his blood-red wine

  1. I for one welcome our tiny military robot plane overlords. Hey, wasn’t one of these in Dune?
  2. As springheel_jack once pointed out, THE EMU WILL PECK.
  3. Poor Mike O’Neill. His friend wrote a pretty damned good poem for him, though.
  4. STOP THE PRESSES! Has been 80s politician walks out on has been 80s musician. Actually, don’t stop the presses.
  5. Here’s a really good reason not to show the whole world your internal numbers, especially if they’re sequential. You might, like, lose a war.
  6. Do not purchase unproven home health care equipment, especially on eBay.
  7. IT’S A FROG MUSEUM.
  8. The only thing funnier than the Rich Man’s Short Bus itself is the $50,000 Tonka falling apart on its own for no reason. A $15,000 Mazda doesn’t do that, guys. I’m just saying.
  9. Think! Is your conduct appropriate? Well, IS IT?
  10. Squid attack, squid attack get out of the water and don’t look back!
