Uphill, both ways.
If you lick your index finger and hold it up to the winds of pop culture at the moment, you’re going to find a strong current of vampire blowing your way.
This is awesome. Although you damn kids may not get why it’s so awesome. Damn kids these days. Oh, and get off my lawn.

Lost and Found
William Gibson gives us some insight on found emoticons from the first two decades of the 21st century. An instant classic.
Third row, fifth square from left, is the emotion you feel on dreaming you are Hitler (but somehow innocent, as though Hitler were an Etsy crafter who works, very tentatively, in felt).

I think this photo essay speaks for itself.

Big Time
As a tall person, I say it is time to end this gross discrimination in sports and let tall people have their rightfully ordained place, smartly running games, the way we run everything else so very well.
I heard this commentary by Frank Deford on NPR’s Morning Edition on my way into work this morning. I giggled. (And, yes, I couldn’t help but steal the title of this post from the outtro song they played at the end of this piece. Go away. – - )

Kansas
What else is there to say? Someone, or something, isn’t happy with the state.
Old school. [via ectomo]

Best. News article. Ever.
British forces have denied rumours that they released a plague of ferocious badgers into the Iraqi city of Basra.
For some reason, I’m beyond tickled when hearing the phrase “a plague of ferocious badgers”, especially knowing that it was published in the BBC News. I can’t wait to use this in everyday conversation. (You’ve been warned.)

Thinking of you
I saw one of these buses on my way home from work last week.
Yeah, I laughed. – -

What did he just say?
The Reverend Dr. Bill Lawson compared [Ken] Lay with civil rights leader Martin Luther King Jr. and Jesus Christ, and said his name would eventually be cleared.
“He was taken out of the world right at the right time,” he said. “History has a way of vindicating people who have been wronged.”
I’m really at a loss for words on this one. Read the whole story here.

plane will gnome unconditionally
Over the weekend while I was being lazy and lounging about in the sun, I accumulated 452 pieces of spam (with clever subjects like the title of this post). On the slim chance that someone actually made a comment (highly doubtful), I inadvertantly deleted it (hurray for the mass deletion button). Sorry about that.
Spammers can fuck the hell off.
I love parentheses.

Friday
Hey, it’s Friday and I don’t want to be at work. Do you? Why not waste the day away by staring, in awe, at the Blue Ball Machine?
Have a great weekend.

Grue
There’s a humorous “Zork Remix” of the Iraq Invasion over at Defective Yeti. But I liked this quote in the comments section even more:
If Bush is so in the dark, why hasn’t he been eaten by a Grue?

Mashed
At the end of the day, if you don’t want the hypothetical, but instead want the truth: President Bush is akin to an extended period of significant discomfort in your gut.
What do you get when you mash together politics and genetics? Have a read over at Seed.

Foiled Again
We theorize that the government may in fact have started the helmet craze for this reason.
Some clever researchers at MIT have determined that not only are aluminum foil hats not so great at blocking out mind-controlling rays, but that such hats may actually enhance the mind altering capabilities of The Man’s rays. Scary stuff indeed. [via Slashdot]

Oh, those crazy Japanese. Check out this Google Video clip of the girls from Morning Musume wearing meat hats and then sticking their heads into a cage holding a carnivorous lizard. If there were shows like this on TV in the US, maybe I’d actually get cable. [via BoingBoing]
