What is that?
Going through iTunes for things to put on my iPod, I ran across a hideous thing I made a while ago — like, during college. It was an experiment with FruityLoops and ACID, I think, involving the Super Mario music, poorly-mixed drum samples I might have cut myself out of existing songs somehow, and a Casiotone keyboard. It’s mostly awful. I was nevertheless tempted to put it up here...

Still the best review of any remix album ever →
For some reason my brain reminded me of this tonight. It’s the pictures that seal the deal, of course — particularly the last one. Osama and Saddam are really partying the fuck down, but Hitler’s just starting to get his groove on.

Aww yeah
gifparty:
If the NASA press conference on Thursday is to announce the discovery of definitive evidence of exoplanetary life, this .gif will be the one carried by all major news organizations everywhere if there’s any justice in the world.

APPLE CONFESSION
Being halfway through a small jug of fresh apple cider purchased from the farmers’ market on Sunday, I do hereby confess that every time I have some, despite being from apple-centric New York state, I am always reminded of the Ned Flanders mnemonic for distinguishing apple juice from apple cider. It is as follows:
If it’s clear and yella’, that’s juice there, fella! If...

I still find this question weird on many levels
Why do so many people want to make out with a clone of themselves?* I think that would be super fucking weird. I’m not really attracted to me. I admit that I think of myself as aesthetically sound, but when I look in the mirror, it’s “I can see how someone else would want to hit that,” not “I, Jon, personally, would hit that.” Youknowumsayn?
* Perhaps I’m...

I have a Harry Potter question I need to ask...
This just occurred to me. Sectumsempra is a spell that Snape made up, right? He invented it? And Harry Potter learns it in that one book by just reading its name? If you can invent a new spell in the Harry Potter universe and teach it to people by just writing down its name and showing it to someone, shouldn’t there be millions — possibly billions — of spells floating around in...

Daft Punk
evandahm:
I drew this a little while ago and just got around to coloring it pretty quick! I am pretty obsessed with Daft Punk lately.
What I think we need, and I know I’m right about this, is an entire year where Daft Punk appear in all comics everywhere as a pair of mute debonair archcriminals.

I've said it before, and I'll say it again:... →
The words of Kent Brockman should resonate with we Californians, who are given an absurd amount of power to vote on things we should never be able to touch with our grubby hands. I voted on all those fucking budget propositions even though I felt like I shouldn’t have been allowed. Do you know who I felt should have been? Trained fucking professional economists. Is it absurd to believe this?...

This resonates and I don’t know why.

I have to comment on this now
I’m going to guess that this probably sums up the feelings of most of the people I know.
I’ve had the Beatles in my iTunes for kind of a long time now, thanks to a thing called the internet. The Beatles were fucking awesome, but two of them are dead and the other two probably don’t need my money. In fact, the same probably goes for Yoko, the estate of Michael Jackson, the record...

I have no idea when I'll be able to make this...
It just occurred to me that I need to rewatch The Golden Child immediately. I just want to see how well it holds up.

The newest in a long line of fight innovations →
“I’m gonna make you eat your beard, motherfucker” is now a legitimate sentence we can utter before throwing down, everybody.

A weird requirement I didn't know I have
The light in the main floor bathroom was broken when I went in there to make a deposit at the brown bank.* I turned around immediately and found another bathroom. I find this strange; despite the fact that this particular procedure doesn’t really need me to use my eyes at any stage in order to happen successfully, I apparently need light in order to make the transaction. Every day I’m...

Tell me if I’m reading this wrong, people:
Hurlbert explained that charging Erzinger with a felony could affect his job and ability to pay restitution. “When you’re talking about restitution, you don’t want to take away his ability to pay,” the DA said.
The reason why the DA decided not to pursue the felony is because doing that would make him unable to pay the...

ULTIMATE TEAM CARDBOARD FORTRESS BATTLE →
I’m tempted to put a game of this together for my birthday, which is coming in about a month’s time. I realize this means it might potentially rain on game day, but conversations I’ve had with a few people lead me to believe that a rainy-day game might not turn out all that terribly. “Sure, the cardboard will get wet and the boxes will only be good for one game, and...

A list of things I've found at Target that don't...
Seriously, I’ve looked, and the following items seem to be found only at Target (at least in the San Francisco Bay area); I can’t find them at any other store.
Animal crackers that come in a giant plastic bear (as opposed to these, which don’t)
Motherfuckin’ cheese balls, y’all
Frankenberry
Count Chocula
Boo Berry
Gold Bond powder (the actual powder that comes...

I made a discovery
Subtracting or adding a single letter to the name of an existing band produces some interestingly strange results, friends and neighbors.
The Rolling Stone
Queens
Jim Hendrix
Florence + The Machines
The Decemberist
Metrics
I didn’t know what else to do with this information except bring it to you, the people. This post brought to you by me and a typo by my buddy Dan.

Test post
The Tumblr system seems to have somehow eaten my last post. Just testing to see if I can make one that actually appears in the manner of normal posts. Move along!
