Acquaintances

I've known these two for quite a while, but they're wearing on me. Some people are still crazy about 'em, but he's too pushy and she takes such a long time to open up.

Captain America: Already Gay Enough, Thanks

Another amusing freakout:

Tea Party Jab to Be Zapped From Captain America Comic, Writer Says
By Joshua Rhett Miller
- FOXNews.com

A "tea bag" reference in a recent Captain America comic book that has angered the Tea Party movement will be removed by Marvel Comics in future editions, the story's writer told FoxNews.com.

The offending image:



Hmm. Remember this?



And of course, "removed [...] in future editions" means THIS ONE'S THE VALUABLE COMIC OMG GET TO THE STORE NOW! Well played, Marvel.

This calls for a reprise of Captain America's greatest single page:



Despammed:

Nixon in China

Coming.

Opposing Obama

Over at the BBC there's a radio program called Opposing Obama in two parts. Those who are bananas get to calmly state their case, or "clamly" as my fingers would have it. Part Two has a ridiculously funny intro voice and talks to teabaggers.

Here's a more permanent link but a shittier interface.

Quote from Michelle Malkin:

This is the greatest country on God's green Earth, and we will not apologize for our extremism in defending it.

What say you, Rich?

Episode one is set in small-town Kentucky and is the sort of thing that a guy shovelling money at banks should hear. PSSST: banks don't fit in a voting booth!

The Cocteau Twins Game

Long ago I listened to The Cocteau Twins - they were good: weird guitars, fine voice, lotsa slow triplet rhythms. Liz Frazer went glossolalia for quite a while there, so now the internet provides some added fun.



An interpretation of the lyrics:

Gotta, gotta, gotta gain his voice
On pepper tree
Harden, harden, harden don'ts and won'ts
My easel she

You gotta, gotta, gotta gain his voice
On purple scotch

Most amusing. Still not quite as senseless as Yes though.

Non-Stop Party!

It's where I live:

VANCOUVER — Marijuana does not appear to improve memory or reverse effects of Alzheimer's disease, according to results of a University of British Columbia study performed on mice bred to have genetic mutations for the disease.

"We are a little surprised, actually. Originally, we were hoping there would be a positive effect, based on previous research," said Dr. Weihong Song, the Canada Research Chair in Alzheimer's disease and a UBC psychiatry professor.

Fuck The Olympics

Oh look:

Former film actor and California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger will run with the Olympic torch in Stanley Park Friday morning, Vanoc announced today as it unveiled a star-studded cast of runners for the coming week.

Nothing says drug-free legitimate sporting event like Arnold Schwarzenegger.

They're Trying

In the "Course Weekly Outline" at the University of Mosul I suspect some OCR fun, but here:



I too would have been waily for Godot.

J— quotes Foreign Policy:

Despite having served for years as a distinguished Pakistani diplomat, Akbar Zeb reportedly cannot receive accreditation as Pakistan's ambassador to Saudi Arabia. The reason, apparently, has nothing to do with his credentials, and everything to do with his name -- which, in Arabic, translates to "biggest dick."

Fuck The Olympics

Have I mentioned that I live in lovely Vancouver, host city of a forthcoming sporting event? I haven't because I'm a big fucking paranoid about anonymity and being social and so forth, but let's let that drop to say

FUCK THE OLYMPICS.

This probably means I owe Men D a drink or something.

'Twas Ever Thus

The Talented Telepathist:

I Was Driving Through Idaho 10 Years And I Stopped Off in Blackfoot, Idaho in Bingham County to See Their "Potato Museum." This County Produces Half the Potatoes in the Country, the Museum Was Free. In an Old Railroad Depot it was Quite Interesting, I Liked It a Lot. After I Was Finished With the Museum I Exited Into an Adjoining Huge CountryKitchen Where I Was Handed a Really Big Baked Potato, Free, Stuffed With Sour Cream and Butter and Told to Sit Down.

Could It Be True?

Could Mel Gibson possibly have called a reporter an asshole? I NEED TO KNOW.

A Stupid Bastard Named Ted Baehr

Baits and switches:

In an editorial bashing conservatives, U.S. Marines, and businessmen on Jan. 19, the Los Angeles Times admits that James Cameron’s “Avatar” has a radical leftist agenda. But, either out of disingenuousness, deception, or stupidity, they then contend, what does it matter?

“We’ll stipulate,” the Editorial Board of the Times wrote, “that ‘Avatar’ promotes a liberal worldview. The question is, why does anyone care?”

Small potatoes of course, but stipulating that Ted Baehr has a conservative point of view, why does Andrew Breibart publish Nazis?

That Which Must Be

Sorry, no meaningful video, but the chorus of Laser Cannon Deth Sentence is a lyrical peak to which few will ever ascend and I must post it.

Say your goodbyes
That was your life
You'll pay all your penance
Laser cannon death sentence
