Hark! A Vagrant

These oft-time historical (and sometimes not so much) comics by Kate Beaton are really funny. Sometime her people reminds me of that of Dylan Horrocks–can’t say why exactly, but they do. Thanks to Squirky for leading me to these (and causing me to waste a few hours reading them all). hee hee Related posts What [...]

I’ll be a sunbeam for him

Nice “wait-for-it” moment at the end. Terrible puppetry. Perhaps the posting of this is an indication of a little too much sun recently. And yes there’s more of this Little Marcy, uh, goodness: 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 Related posts No related posts.

“out-of-control platitudes”

Oh, Onion. Massive Flow Of Bullsh*t Continues To Gush From BP Headquarters Congressional hearings aimed at stopping the bullshit have thus far failed to do so, with officials from BP and its contractors Halliburton and Transocean only adding to the powerful torrents of bullshit by blaming one another for the accident. Along with the region’s [...]

Disney, Tesla, UFOs, Nazis!

I might like this better as a novel. The nazi UFO image is pretty good–that should have been the cover! But wait, there’s this! And don’t forget this!

Wing Ding

Listening to this I started wondering about the definition of “wing ding.” Turns out: 1) it’s not that old; and 2) no one seems to know the origin. And there’s the font. Related posts The Yes-Men Smother The Cake Eaters! (0)

Cookie O’Puss

R did not believe me when I told her about Cookie Puss. And then she doubted Cookie O’Puss! So here is the proof. Shield your eyes. And this here ditty actually gets stuck in my head sometimes: I love it when they say “freshhhhhh” near the end. Gotta dig Wikipedia’s reasoned notes on Cookie Puss: [...]

A Town Called Panic

We caught this stop-motion movie at the Portland International Film Festival (PIFF!) on Sunday. It’s terrific, really kooky and quite funny, good for kids and adults. They have a couple of clips up, but it looks like you have to go to the “official film site” to watch them (couldn’t find a direct link, look [...]

Terrible Tilly

One mile west of Tillamook Head on the Oregon coast sits a lonely rock with an empty seagull-poo-splattered lighthouse. This is its story. On October 21, 1879, four laborers were put on the rock. The rest of the crew followed five days later. Putting men on the rock entailed stringing a 4 ½” line from [...]

Roll Over and Play Dead

These detourned jokes are awesome and sad. A Democratic congressman walks into a bar. The bartender says, “Sorry, we don’t serve your kind here.” The Democratic congressman whimpers, “You’re right, I’m sorry, I never should’ve come in here, it’s all my fault, boo-hoo, please, bend me over, I’ll do whatever you want because I’m a [...]
