Give Me A Handjob, If You Want To Live

Handjobs For The Future

The future is in jeopardy unless Sarah Connor can, um, hand out some happy endings. Maybe the future isn't all that it's cracked up to be. Of course it could just be a result of the all the damn time traveling. Enough already!

Sure is a lot of Terminator parodies floating about these days. It's almost like there was another movie in the offing — but that would just be ridiculous.

People Were Hating 'Fore I Left My Comment


On the off-hand chance you haven't already seen this video everywhere — and with 10K Diggs and most major sites posting it, that's unlikely — here's We Didn't Start the Flame War from College Humor.

What I love about it is how culturally specific it is and it makes me realize there is a genuine, if sad, subculture at play here. But if you don't spend any time on major commenting sites, it will be entirely meaningless to you. My wife watched it and shrugged, as I suspected.

Baking Disasters: Burn Baby Burn

This is what it's like when I cook — even the Pillsbury Doughboy would Scream like Edvard Munch. From artist skorch0matik via Listicles amusing 10 Moments in the Pillsbury Doughboy’s Life.

And, in a related(ish) video, you really don't want to know why your Cheetos are so dangerously cheesy:

Why Terminators Transport Naked


I mean, if you looked like Arnold Schwarzenegger in the early '90s, wouldn't you wander around naked too? Works for Dr. Manhattan.

Nice Touch For A Goth Wedding

I never realized how ridiculous the video for White Wedding is. Why exactly does a motorcycle smash through the stained glass window anyway?

Pop Science

From the people who brought you Lolcats comes GraphJam: pop culture for people in cubicles. It's like indexed, except user generated and mostly about pop culture. I don't know what it is about graphs that I find so amusing, but here a few that kept me skimming the site:

Worth A Read... Dirty Words Edition

I heard a great quote from the late George Carlin on the radio this afternoon about the power of those infamous seven words. Of course I can't find it now, but cut to the essence of his Seven Words You Can Never Say on Television routine — that words only have power because we give them power.

It's been amusing to read all the coverage and eulogies to Carlin that tiptoe around this still taboo words (well, at least in the mainstream media). Of course you can read them (and see them in action for that matter) online all the time, but they still seem to carry a mystique.

So in honour of Carlin... Shit, Piss, Fuck, Cunt, Cocksucker, Motherfucker, Tits. Phew, don't we all feel better now?
