I wonder if the executives thought this was an original idea

Doritos to Broadcast the First Ever Advert Into Space

Wow guys, way to copy a UCB sketch. It was a funny sketch, but that's mostly because it's a ridiculous and f'ing stupid idea to begin with.

In Honor of Mr. Gygax

The "Random Harlot Encounter Table" from the first-edition Dungeon Master's Guide.
(stolen from Boing Boing-Games)

Sometimes things don't need a description to be funny



Lest we forget

For as long as I can remember, I have had a deep dislike of Hillary. Some of it had to do with her policies as a senator, but mostly I agree with Mr. Yeti that we shouldn't have 20+ years of Clintons and Bushes. Plus, if we had a black president it would OFFICIALLY be the future. Yes, sometimes the future has a woman president (like Battlestar Galactica [or is it the past, or an alternate timeline/dimension???]) but it just isn't the same and doesn't quite feel like as much of a leap.
If, like me until recently, you are thinking about voting for McCain just look at this picture of Arby endorsing Hillary's presidency until you remember just how much the GOP as a whole sucks balls and wants to enslave humanity.

Ode to Netscape Navigator

A very fitting haiku for Netscape's last day:

Expert rendering
Of my Geocities page.
You had a good run.

garfield minus garfield

Who would have guessed that when you remove Garfield from the Garfield comic strips, the result is an even better comic about schizophrenia, bipolor disorder, and the empty desperation of modern life?
Friends, meet Jon Arbuckle. Let’s laugh and learn with him on a journey deep into the tortured mind of an isolated young everyman as he fights a losing battle against lonliness and methamphetamine addiction in a quiet American suburb.

From Warren Ellis's Castlevania workblog

Well, the notes on the screenplay came in this week. And I’m happy to say that they’re minimal, and easily dealt with. (And no-one’s said a thing about the swearing, the violence or the now-infamous Goat-Fucking Scene.)

I knew it!

Variations on this scene has played itself out in my head many times over the years. It makes me happy that I'm not the only one who has considered this.



I know that just posting a bunch of GooTube videos and calling it a blog is a lot like drinking Pabst and calling it a beer, so I'm sorry.
