are you man enough for this
Category: a series of tubes
OK, I admit to being a webcomics geek, and a tagline of 'Poorly-drawn cartoons inspired by actual spam subject lines' sounds like the kind of thing that's already been done a bajillion times before. But when faced with 'Are you man enough for this,' Steven Frank of Spamusement came up with 'Derek Jeter, carrying a fishing pole and a keg, atop a riding lawnmower on the flatbed of a pickup, deep-fried and smothered with country gravy.'

That is unusual talent.

"in hell, this is all you get"
Category: a series of tubes
To anyone who considers him or herself an adventurous eater, I recommend "Steve Don't Eat It," a website wherein a guy named Steve eats things he ought not to.

I think the term "ROFL" is used too often and never literally, but I came very close. Don't worry; there is a happy ending.

I read this site a long time ago. The Natto article nearly made me throw up.

In fact, I need to choke something up now.
jbeatty - 11/09/07 07:23
that was pretty amusing.
paul - 11/09/07 01:23
Wow, that was seriously insane.
tinypliny - 11/08/07 22:53
ROFL and L and L and L and now Hicupping and H and H and L...

" For all those times I wondered what it would be like to gnaw on my grandmother's thigh, I was about to find out."

Good Grief.

You have GOT to answer her in the affirmative, but tell her your motor oil plan got nixed in favor of olive oil.
dragonlady7 - 11/01/07 14:01
HAAAAAA!
That's awesome.

I can't decide whether that message sounds incredibly juvenile, incredibly naughty, or both.

i got some splainin to do
OK so we've got two Halloween parties to go to tonight, and I'm only wearing one costume. The roller girls will understand my costume without explanation, but I'm afraid it will likely leave many or all of you scratching your heads. I can hear it now: 'I understand you're a roller girl, but what's with the potato masher?' I will not answer your question. I will refer you to this blog.

The QCRG All-Stars* played against the Steel Town [Hamilton, ON] Tank Girls this past summer in a game where the officiating was bad and the sportsmanship was worse. Derby is a rough sport, but this rapidly became unsettling on an almost visceral level. Anyway, the costume is a Tank Girls' uniform.

That does not explain the potato masher. There is a Tank Girl whose name is Cheese Grater. She carries around a cheese grater. I'm not sure whether the name or the kitchen implement came first, but I'm pretty sure I don't want to ask. It's pretty random, but it's not any less random than, say, a potato masher. And I guess cheese is relatively badass as far as dairy products go, but consider this: if someone chucked a piece of cheese at you, you'd be angry but mostly confused. But if someone chucked a potato at you, you'd be IN PAIN!!!!!

Ah... Hamilton... such a class joint, iain't it? I say the folks from my hometown have class with a capital K.
tinypliny - 10/28/07 21:53
I get it. But since I don't know what a potato masher looks like, I am at a distinct loss. Was it the helmet like thing on your head or was it some other hidden/in sight implement??

something more interesting
Category: blagosphere
"Winter in Blogville" by Jennifer ("14221") Wutz-Lopes (Buffalo Spree, Nov 2007, p26)

Someone ( everyone!) over at Estrip.org has their panties in a bunch about something to do with the fact that they are not taken seriously as bloggers. Take a number and get in line, I say.



But estrip is by far the most colorful screenshot in the bunch.

I think (e:strip)'s panties were more in a bunch about being treated like a bunch of chumps in that all the other bloggers seem to think that because they live in the suburbs and offer opinions on things, they're Important, but we don't actually deserve to be told if an event is cancelled or not, because we use the Internet for social networking.

It's possible she's trying to start a flamewar because our blogs get more pageviews than hers...
mrmike - 10/26/07 17:01
My panties were fine before, but now they chafe.

Go Josh!

You have to be fucking kidding me. Who the hell is Jennifer Wutz-Lopes, anyway? Maybe I should rush out to a Starbucks in the 'burbs to meet her and find out if I care!

Nobody reads Buffalo Spree anyway. Its trite and self-aggrandizing, much like Jenny's own blog. God knows this is too laughable to pontificate about. If there wasn't a tinge of doubt in my head about the nature of (e:strip) and how much she actually knows about it, it would be my absolute pleasure to rip her a new ass for saying something so foolish.
