Apocalypse now?
amilniazi:
Thanks to Chuck, K has gone full-tilt on apocalypse scenarios and peak oil - leading to the ever-important discussion of strategacolypse.
I’m pro-underground. I think hiding in a bunker until everyone kills everyone else and then re-emerging to rebuild society is the best way to survive. (This is a non-zombie scenario obvi.)
K thinks you should tape machetes to your hands and phone...
If, like everyone, you’ve been let down by Obama and his unmitigated spinelessness these past few weeks, fear not, for gayer times may lie ahead. In a letter that Barry just wrote to the Alice B. Toklas LGBT Democratic Club, he takes a surprisingly firm stance on gay rights. Here’s what he had to say:
As the Democratic nominee for President, I am proud to join with and support the...
Wanted was really awesome because there’s this crazy twist near the end and it turns out that it was actually the sequel to Willard the entire time.
I’m reading East of Eden right now, and I just read a part that made me feel a lot better about myself, and will also make everyone who has ever had a chat over IM feel better about themselves too because… well, you’ll see. It’s a part when a guy is writing a letter. To quote:
“Dear brother Charles,” it said. “You will be surprised to hear from me after...
WatchMan I must be in really rough shape or something without even knowing it. Seriously, I almost started crying when I watched this video… Or maybe I just secretly loved Armageddon?
I forget who originally said this, but someone once said that if you ever see a guy wearing leather pants, you know that guy has no true friends, because if he did, they would have told him to take the leather pants off because he looks totally stupid in them.
This is the internet equivalent of wearing leather pants.

Is it just me or is the internet exceptionally good today? Just desserts being served all over the place.
I know! It’s as if the internet finally realized its purpose in the world, and fulfilled all of its potential. Howard Roark would be so proud.

The brilliance is that Balk completely nailed her writing style.
I was snickering while I was reading this. Not laughing out loud, just some snickerdoodles
The best is the half cut off text at the top:
And that’s why I admit that Liz Phair’s later efforts are so poor.
Brilliant.

I finally got around to listening to this last night. Crookers absolutely destroy it. Totally essential!

Obama Wants the Death Penalty for Child Rapers →
Not rappers. Rapers. Big difference, but equally retarded. Not that I in any way condone the raping of children, just as I certainly don’t condone the lyrical stylings of the Lil Romeos and Bow Wows of the world, but rappers, rapers, anyone. None of them deserve the death penalty. Put them in the tiniest, nastiest, shit stainededest hole of a cell for the rest of their worthless, disgusting,...

This gets you right in the gut.

The presumptive Republican presidential nominee, John McCain, failed to merit a shoutout by any of the BET presenters or performers.
Really, there’s no need for a fair and balanced analysis of politics at the BET Awards.

I am a Barack Obama supporter. I have been for quite some time now. I donated to his campaign months ago, and I hadn’t been able to empathize with the Clinton supporters who won’t let it go. This article at Salon gave me some much needed insight and compassion.
Hmmmmm. I know that I’m supposed to “can it,” but I honestly feel there is so much blatant history...
One thing I overlooked yesterday because I was too busy almost having nightmares was that the super scary Mario Lopez picture, which is actually one in a series of super scary pictures, is actually just the most recent example of what seems like an endless parade of re-created “classic” images starring celebrities who are in no way whatsoever the modern equivalent of the stars they are...

McCain's Dumb $300 Million Car Battery Thing
I don’t know how the IEA calculates their figures, but I’ve done some calculating of my own, and I’m willing to bet that if gas prices continue to rise at the rate they’re currently rising then we’ll be looking at something like $10 a gallon gas come summer ‘09. If it doesn’t happen then, it will soon. And then some. As the world develops, demand for oil...

In a word, yawn. You know why? Because there is nothing more aggravating than trying to use a laptop in a coach seat on a modern day airplane — especially if the person in front of you decides to recline. You have to tilt the screen to an unviewable angle and make raptor arms so you can type, and then probably wind up all annoyed since you just spent ten bucks to find out that nothing interesting...
I’m kind of getting light headed reading about the huge spending advantage Obama is expected to have over McCain in the election. They’re saying Obama could have something like four to five times as much money as McCain. Maybe even more! That seems pretty serious. Ludicrous, even. Because, does that maybe give the impression that he’s basically going to be able to buy his way...

This full page ad is all set to run on a Sunday — any Sunday will do — just as soon as this 2.5 million strong coalition of the brave can raise the $17,820 necessary to do such a thing. Having already rounded up $2,223.10 (gotta respect that .10) they’re about an… eighth of the way there? So close!
Side Note: Who knew Hillary supporters were such web design savants?
Elaine, I count zero occurances of the words battered, chapped, or pussy. Is the return of Saturn causing your memory to prematurely lapse? Or were the geriatrics running the show affraid of offending too many of their battered, chapped, pussy having readers??? Answers, Elaine. Answers!
