Possibly the greatest commentary on modern politics. Possibly not.

Can anyone who has seen Dr. Zhivago explain to me if Netflix is trying to make fun of me? I have not seen it, nor am I familiar with Russian history or culture, but i would think the word “manquake” would have somehow reached my ears as an adolescent.

Er, yeah. Perhaps the director should follow his own advice from the end of this video. Because, I for one, was disturbed.

SPOILER: I did not EVER need to know about Carl Lewis’ mature white woman fetish. But this director determined it should be the climax of the video. And I use that term loosely and a bit embarrassingly.

I dig this song; it’s catchy and the video is certainly cleaver. *Cryptkeeper laugh*

I’ve seen this elsewhere, but today I posted it for Tim McKee and for prosperity.

Also, a late announcement: MHG, she has a blog that is slowly being pieced together between our viewings of Buffy episodes. She calls it Raggedy Android and it threatens to be the coolest thing ever. Cooler than Snoopy in that WWI pilot gear, cooler than Thulsa Doom, cooler even…than the movie Sidekicks*.

No, seriously it will be a worthy read, as it already has proven. Go peruse now, you ignorant bastard.

Bonus geek quotient points if one know the connection between Thulsa Doom and Sidekicks, which only revealed itself after I looked for the links.

As a hardened webbie, I can be difficult to impress, but some people still have amazing ideas about what this medium can do. Jed Wards is to the web what … some explorer who found cool shit … is to … some cool shit.

Also impressive are these crazy French superhero guys.

Fair warning to those with slow connections: I will hunt you down and perform mad Clockwork Orange experiments on you until you step out of the Dark Ages and accept broadband as your lord and master. Stop slowing the progress of humanity, you excrement.

Czeltic Girl still has not done her “About” page. Then again, neither have I. We both did this list, though (credit: she did it first of us, and she found it at Vidiot’s blog). My 100 things, plus this new thing, should give you a good idea of why you should talk to me from a distance and avoid eye contact.
