Xenu Says Watch This
Tom Cruise has always given me the wiggins, seriously. I was creeped out by him and his incredible dancing teeth long before the rest of the world realized he was batshit crazy. I do try not to waste too much brain space on National Enquirer celebrity tripe (I mean really, who gives a rat's ass?) but I'm sorry, you have to see this. Apparently ( Read more... ) -

"Black Rosie" Photo Is Made Of Awesome
The Library of Congress has posted a Flickr photoset of fascinating WW2-era photographs, including this gorgeous shot of an African-American "Rosie the Riveter."

Potter sign the forms to ( Read more... ) -

I have nothing against Hillary, and ghod knows I'd love to see a female president get in. I just feel like she'd spend the entire term chopping through ( Read more... ) -
At Least It's Not "Male Enhancement"
OK, I know I'm tired. We got an extremely late start taking tinrat home and it's 2AM and I'm watching an X-files rerun with my eyes half closed and eating leftover pasta salad and trying to decide if it needs more pepper because I can still feel my lips and I hear a commercial for what my groggy brain insists is "the only phone guaranteed to grow ( Read more... ) -
OD'd On Sweetness And Light? Have Some South Park.
Every single episode of South Park is now available online, including the movie.
You probably already know this, but most of these are incredibly not work safe - as the credits say, they are not meant to be viewed by anyone.
BTW, here's my vote for the sickest, most offensive and depraved episode of the entire sick, depraved and offensive lot ( Read more... )
