Of Talking Animals

British Accents/Animals: Always funny, so funny:

Of Dr. Horrible

If you have not already seen Dr. Horrible's Sing Along Blog, you should. I say this for your benefit. It is a very vital piece of you entertainment, I assure you.

Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog was an alternative musical written, directed and produced by Joss Whedon during the writer's strike. It contains a plentiful amount of witty lines such as "It's not about making money, it's about taking money! Destroying the status quo, because the status is NOT quo."

In addition to the hilarity of a musical about an aspiring evil scientist who want to join the Evil League of Evil and get up the courage to talk to the girls of his dreams/co-laundromat user, the three-act musical speaks sincerely and pointedly to a number of profound topics. Many of the songs consist of intense and direct dialogue about everything from the real nature of evil to social change to a time-stopping freeze-ray.

Honestly, you should go watch it. Now.


Neil Patrick Harris is making that face at you. Because you have not seen it yet.

There. I gave you two different ways to watch it. Now go.

Of White Ninja

I while ago, I stumbled upon a number of interesting and hilarious web comics. The first being Dinosaur Comics, which consists of the same images for every comic, with different text, an interesting and dynamic and often hilarious concept. The second, and more favored, is White Ninja Comics:


The humor is dry and random and genius.

Of Bowler Hats

I have decided that I want a bowler hat. Some of them aren't cheap though. Or just this whole daggum outfit:


I think maybe I was born just over a hundred years to late for my tastes. Maybe. I can just really dig the whole mid to late 19th-century look. The Victorian period in clothing was bangin'. That is all.

Of God's Creating Practice

Quick question: do you think that there is anything that God did not create?

Of Mouths and Magazines

Showbread used to be my favorite band of all time. I love this music video. I love the song "Stabbing Art To Death" even better, mostly because of the bangin' lyrics.

Anyways, this is one of my favorite music videos of all time.

Of A Collaborative Exodus

Not that I am trying to force or drive anyone to quit Facebook, as I have done, but I found this interesting article about the recent Facebook exodus. It says that "while people are still joining Facebook and compulsively visiting the site, a small but noticeable group are fleeing — some of them ostentatiously."

I guess you could define my leaving as ostentatious; I created this blog a few months before I did it to maintain some sort of "online voice," although the need for that is somewhat questionable. I wrote a note, made event, the whole shebang. It is a little vindicating to see that some people are of a like mind and are considering or acting in the same manner that I have.

I have even been considering returning recently, so you made consider this post to be mildly irrelevant and hypocritical. But that is your prerogative.

Oh, and I dislike coffee.

Of Mickey and Marvel

I have for you one of those events that will utterly surprise you and yet make you wonder why it is utterly surprising.

Disney has bought Marvel.

In a deal costing about $4 billion, Mickey Mouse and Magneto will be under the control of the same company. Aladdin and Captain America. Namor the Sub-Mariner and the Little Mermaid. All under the control of the same company.

I'm not sure how I feel about this. As long as Disney's stupidity doesn't rub off the already volatile Marvel, I will be content. But the moment I see Goofy in an X-Men outfit, I'm out.

I will say that while this is a very surprising event, it really shouldn't be. Marvel, one of the most successful and effective companies as far as visual communication goes, seems like a very adequate partner for the animated entertainment giant that Walt Disney has become.

I think Penny Arcade puts it quite well:

Of Atheism and Animals

I feel like I only post when I have something funny to share. Alas, such are the woes of one sans the venue of Facebook with which to share comedy.

That being said, this is pretty daggum hilarious. It is a group of atheist animals lovers who will take care of your pets once you depart for heaven in the rapture. And for only a simple payment of $110.00 for your first pet, and $15.00 for each additional pet at the same location!

There are even terms and conditions that say "If subscriber loses his/her faith and/or the Rapture occurs and subscriber is not Raptured (aka is "left behind") EE-BP disclaims any liability; no refund will be tendered."

The only downside is that there is a ten (10) year limit to the contract, and then it has to be renewed.

Of Tights

This is one of the funniest things I've seen in a while. I've always had a problem with tights and now I can put my finger on the reason for my disgust when they are publicly exhibited.

Read the manifesto.

And I quote:

"We have tired of tolerating attemps to force tights into a non-native garment category and have decided to do something about it."
