In a post I made earlier today, I wrote:
zero-G/fetish posts and no one gets hurt!
And she has delivered. Her latest posting on BoingBoing: David Beckham’s alleged lover masturbates a pig on UK TV show.
Here’s a snippet from yesterday’s Achewood comic,
which pokes fun at the VP debates. These two panels convey actual
points from the debate, but the really funny stuff happens when John
Edwards (played by Achewood’s Renaissance Bear, Teodor) points out
fictitious votes in Congress made by Dick Cheney (played by Achewood’s
resident asshat, Pat):
Also enjoyable: Landover Baptist’s We Need Dick!:
as well. Cheney consistently voted against sanctions on South Africa
for its policy of apartheid (which, translated in English, means “God’s
chosen few”). Cheney even had the courage to vote against every House
resolution calling for the release from prison of Nelson Mandela.
Cheney’s Christian conviction that apartheid was right for South Africa
(and Mandela belongs behind bars) has proven correct. While liberal
Democrats were falling all over themselves to pander to the votes of penniless
coloreds, whom our Godly forefathers brought to this blessed country just
so those lazy creatures would have work, Cheney had the moral backbone
to stand up and say, “Nelson Mandela is no different than most black men
– he is a criminal.” Spurred on by Satan, the liberals ultimately
won. And look where South Africa is today. The coloreds can
go anywhere they want and the country is in a state of ruin. The
Lord said that servants and slaves should obey their masters with “fear
and trembling” (Ephesians 6:5). And look what happened when the Lord
and Cheney were ignored. Those South Africans can’t even leave a Christmas
tree air freshener in their parked cars without it being stolen.
Here’s something for you Accordion City bargain-hunters: Factory Direct Computer Outlet is selling refurbished 10 gig iPods for CDN$279 (xe.com reports that this is US$221.83 as I write this).
I’ve had nothing but good experiences with the refurbs from Factory
Direct — both my old Windows desktop (which I brought into work to
replace the horrid TPS report machine I was issued) and my new Windows
desktop at home were Factgory Direct Refrurbs that ran without a hitch.
Serves me right for procrastinating: I found this photo on a
file-swapping site that I frequent, saved it and planned to post it
this morning, only to find that Xeni Jardin at BoingBoing had beaten me
to the punch. General humour is my turf, Xeni! Stick to your
zero-G/fetish posts and no one gets hurt!
I just received this from one “Nitai Gouranga”, whose email address is nitaigouranga@aol.com:
Gouranga Gouranga Gouranga ….
That which brings the highest happiness!!
I dunno, it doesn’t have the same ring as Badger Badger Badger.
I’d read that David Byrne had been getting into PowerPoint as an art medium lately, but this chat with Liz “mamamusings” Lawley was a total surprise:
Here’s a transcript for those of you who can’t see the image (a good number of you read me via RSS):
Liz: nearly fell off my chair
Me: Whoa!
Me: That’s hilarious!
Liz: guess he found it online. he was showing examples of both intentionally funny ppt and unintentionally funny
The Talking Heads were a big influence on me, so finding out that David Byrne used my stuff made my day. Thanks for the heads-up, Liz, and thanks to you too, David!
(My “Why I Dumped You” PowerPoint slide appears in my July 30th entry, The Breakup Style of PowerPoint.)
Update: Here’s the page for David Byrne’s exhibit, which is titled Trees, Tombstones and Bullet Points.
That time of the year is rapidly approaching…
Last year’s party included the now-infamous hot tub on a truck!
The 2004 edition of my birthday party takes place in a month. Details are forthcoming.
In the meantime, you may want to check out the photos from last year’s hot tub — check ’em out in either album or slideshow form!
