I got second place in the spelling bee due to failing “colloquialism”

  1. And so Hummer Nation comes full circle as the limos are called upon to serve.
  2. Someone went and open sourced The Order of the Golden Dawn. Aleister Crowley would have made a great dot-com CEO. That combination of brilliance, brazen dishonesty, and charisma is good for “magick” and IPOs.
  3. I think that odradak among others will like the art of Kevin Hauff. Somewhere between Terry Gilliam and Futurism.
  4. Highland Park is the latest place where youngish middle-class people are bumping into the underclass. It’s no Silverlake, and it has defeated a lot of them. So far, Neal Pollack is no exception. The neighborhood does have its charms, but the gang members are hardcore and it’s one of the most racially divided neighborhoods in Los Angeles by my experience. It’s a place to tread lightly if you’re not a local.
  5. There’s big money to be made in posttraumatic stress disorder, especially if you get a government contract to counsel soldiers and claim an insane success rate publicly.
  6. Bad days: BOY SCOUT GETS KNIFE LODGED IN BRAIN.
  7. Today’s “I can’t believe anyone said this” quote is from the Google Video Blog: “In the course of popular music, there are few bands who came from more humble beginnings than Nirvana.” LOOKS LIKE SOMEONE FORGOT ABOUT THE “NEGROES” AGAIN!!1!!
  8. wearescott was kind enough to point out the only government-hosted furry web page I’ve seen yet. It’s easy to say that we are all Proud to be at Furry.
  9. I was once again reminded today that moschus is the Marie Antoinette and Michelle Phillips of crappy horror fiction.
  10. The Orange County version of Mr. Joyboy from The Loved One: Retired PR Guy Helps Retirees Write Their Obits. May require bugmenot to see, stupid registration thing.
  11. Girls are so hot when they’re slowly licking and sucking an abstinence lollipop. I wonder if you can get abstinence thongs at Cafe Press too? Via Feministing.

We are such stuff as dweebs are made of

  1. Only the power of drugs can put a submarine in the mountains. Shades of Fitzcarraldo!
  2. From several sources, the Headline of the Year: STALIN’S HALF-MAN, HALF-APE SUPER-WARRIORS.
  3. O Christmas Toad, O Christmas Toad, you take from the undeserving.
  4. New horrors of mobile phones: the woman next to you on the train may be testing out her smelltones.
  5. Uh. Mel. Uh. WHAT? Mayans… what?
  6. Ever wondered what happens when you give a baseball 19,000 coats of paint?

Cow 54, Where Are You?

  1. The Gap’s ad agency does what I’ve wanted to do forever: totally destroy a store. I like the animal at the end.
  2. The Aardvark points me to a helpful service for people with lame forums. This should be great for all those Big-Time Commercial Bloggers!!!!!
  3. Saks now offers men the opportunity to shop with a Playboy Bunny. I wonder does this mean you have to buy things for the bunny, like at a taxi dance club? If you buy enough things, do you get bunny-blown on the loading dock? Do the bunnies wear their hilarious 1950s fucktail waitress suits during the experience? For how long do your friends mock you after you make a Hooters out of yourself buying socks?
  4. An architecture blogger who usually writes about Wal-Mart takes on big box churches. Those things fascinate me.
  5. Oh hey great, someone heisted 400 pounds of plastique from a place that had no guards and no security cameras. I’d like to thank that company in advance for the next gigantic terrorist bomb that goes off.
  6. Thank you, Judge Smackdown, for that bodyslam of the inane I.D. people.
  7. Today’s Strange Reaction is serial killer music

pumpkin muffins with cream cheese

  1. Yoga with the President. I wonder if you put him in the microwave is it Bikram?
  2. I had no idea that Bill Maher was such a post-scientific assclown about vaccination. That’s depressing, especially in a public figure who’s encouraging all the other nuts. Go back to making fun of politicians, Bill.
  3. Consumerist reports on one woman’s awesome and total victory over her cellphone company. FINISH HIM! Also, tea. Schneier has a typically good analysis of this situation.
  4. ATTACK OF THE SNAKE SPIDER DANCER, video via cruel.com
  5. Albert Robida, O.G. 1890s steampunk.
  6. Here’s a variant on steampunk we might call atollpunk: What if Polynesian natives built electronics?
  7. Let’s all go Mach 5.5 in a jet fuel powered scramjet.

I think I’ll call you “appetite”.

  1. Baristas, coffee obsessives and others may enjoy Ursi’s links to Latte Art today.
  2. I expect weird stuff to happen in Southern California, but not an official Catholic heresy trial in San Bernardino. (Bugmenot if you get registration honk)
  3. From these illustrations it would appear that 17th century eye doctors would put donuts on your eyes.
  4. Beware of fraudulent flu cures.
  5. I do not claim to understand why the World’s Fastest Clown would be an effective anti-drug program for kids. (obvious coulrophobia warning for miss_education and others)
  6. Here are some useful cover sheets for the TPS reports at your office (PDF). Those of you who work with actual secret information should probably not use them. Thanks, ‘Vark!!
  7. I wonder if spacemummy has done any Mexican wrestling movies?
