Marvin linked to the "awful truth" behind the Neil Armstrong moon landing. As someone who finds inappropriate swearing fucking hilarious, I laughed my ass off!

I also laughed when I first saw the Onion source material a few years ago.

Happy birthday, elemess and Brian, two of my much-admired, well-remembered high school guys.

Happy birthday, captainoz! You are beautiful, funny, brilliant, and a darn-good all-around person. I hope it was a lovely day!

As a direct result of watching I Love the '90s on VH1, I have downloaded two songs from iTunes:

1. "Let's Talk about Sex" by Salt-N-Pepa
   
2. "Always Be My Baby" by Mariah Carey

I know! A freakin' Mariah Carey song! Me!

Thank you (and screw you), VH1!

I suspect it will be. Yesterday morning I couldn't actually go anywhere for two hours because I got stuck watching 90210 reruns on whatever station ( Read more... )

I'm having a "Dewey Defeats Truman" flashback. The NY Post ran a front-page article (in its usual subtle, downplayed style) trumpeting that Gephardt had been chosen as the VP running mate. Excellent!

I'm glad I live in a world with The Smoking Gun.

I found a single truly hideous animated GIF of Jiggle Billy, and I Photoshopped the hell out of it to produce this simple pair of legs and text. But I am satisfied.

The fatty-fatty-fat-fat icon lives! And ignore the contradiction of the skinny legs!

I had an epiphany whilst walking around Town Lake today.

(Actually, it may have been a heat-stroke-induced hallucination, since it was at least 90 degrees at the time.)

I decided to make a fatty-fatty-fat-fat icon, and, moreover, I knew exactly what I wanted: a screencap of Jiggle Billy, the hick doll from the Aqua Teen Hunger Force "Dumber Dolls ( Read more... )
