Palindromic Haiku
I won't whore every post I make on my other blog individually, but I am pretty happy with my new post on palindromic haiku. -
HFS, I'm a whore
Blog blog blog, elsewhere.
I'm still not sure what the point of that blog is, but it sure does get a lot of people searching for "zebra penis". -
More blog whoring
My other blog is so much more interesting than this one.
See?
Recent topics covered include lightning, zebra penises, the galactic plane, more penises, tiny dogs and nuclear weapons. -
New blog
I've started a new blog:
The Daily HFS
Why? Because sometimes your day needs less WTF, and more HFS.
Hopefully I'll update the new one more often than the old one. -
Cooter Brown
Today's random article (and let's just forget the three-month break, shall we?) is Cooter BrownI'm afraid I can't summarize who Cooter Brown is any better than the article can, so here we go: "Cooter Brown is a name used in metaphors of drunkenness"... as in "Goddamn, he's as drunk as Cooter Brown".

Russia at the winter olympics
Russia at the Winter Olympics! They've only competed four times as a separate nation since the breakup of the USSR. And generally, they've been going downhill (zomg, I could totally insert a skiing joke here) since 1994 ( Read more... ) -
(Untitled)
OK, the most amusing thing about the Ethel Barrymore Theatre in midtown Manhattan is that it was designed by a guy called Krapp.
Is wikipedia getting more boring, or am I getting less witty? -
Broadside
Oh joy. Random Article Button today gives me a Transformer. I was never that into transformers, to be honest. I had Machine Men, which I note in retrospect were a dodgy ripoff, but at the time seemed a whole lot cooler. Hell, one of them turned into a gold Porsche 911!
Anyway, today's wikipedia Transformer is Broadside . He's a robot who has two ( Read more... )
