This is a Moveon.org prank video thing, where they stick your name and photo (from facebook) in a fake news story about Glen Beck. It’s been done before — but when my utterly ridiculous Facebook profile photo showed up in the video it cracked me up.
My profile photo, note the phantom lights and Newcastle [...]
If you are wondering why my chat nickname is “dr. hitlerballs” google it
(tom/t-woww): why do people name their children summer and autumn but not also
winter and spring
(tom/t-woww): i ask
(luna/orgasmic): valid question
(kent/dr.hitlerballs): calling a girl winter would be kinda cool
(kent/dr.hitlerballs): if she was a 6 ft tall model with lethal cheekbones and
a permanent pout
(kent/dr.hitlerballs): Especially if [...]
I was trolling through the ‘watch instantly’ selections on Netflix the other night, and started watching “One Day Like Rain” (official site), and made it past half way before giving up. This isn’t Plan 9 From Outer Space bad, it’s in its own category of bad. It has characters, sort of. Well it has actors [...]
The song itself I’m not quite sure about, though it is a stylish mash up of its 80s influences. But the video really does it for me, taking me back to when music videos were fun, by assembling a genre-bending cast of impersonators to dance with the Dorothy Gale of Kansas heroine.
Prince and Bill Corgan [...]
This is just the weirdest usage and a stunningly unfortunate double-entendre. And stunningly it’s at least the second time I’ve seen it used in a way that looks to be innocent of its pornographic connotations:
I don’t know if this sound set, called “Art Of Sounds” is any good — I have too many ways to make sounds to feel like I need to buy someone else’s loops. But the copy that went with this sample set release is amazing in the way it manages to mean absolutely nothing:
‘All [...]
I did this accidentally, you can try it on purpose
First, start this track (the new Burial, called “Foster Care”)
Burial – Fostercare by pashoncoop
Then start this video and turn the sound off:
It’s not Dark Side Of The Moon VS The Wizard Of Oz, but it’s cool, at least until she sits down at the piano.
From Talking Points Memo’s gallery of the “Values Voters” conference last week in DC:
Does this man know how gay hot he’s looking?
It’s something I never really noticed until I started following Garfield Minus Garfield, but Jim Davis manages to draw the Garfield script with an incredibly limited range of poses and expressions. Removing Garfield, leaving just Jon, makes this even more excruciating.
I think they have this backwards.
This picture is taken from video but even so it’s super fucked up. They both look like puppets.
The ultimate 3 Wolf Moon question — Ironic or Not Ironic?
I was going thru my spam folder looking for false positives, and came on a message that was (of course) a come-on for erectile dysfunction pills, that had one essential difference: Not only was it spam poetry, they actually broke it up into poetry-like lines:
grim whirl yore mesh!
unpin to leaf.
lain view bout emir.
nosey pear lain.
hoar [...]
I think I mention having attended BYU in my Facebook profile. So those brilliant Ad targeters thought I’d want this little beauty. Well played!
I like how they put Girls who’d never willingly touch a soldering iron on nearly every cover
Count the signifiers in this picture of me, last Saturday, DJ’ing at the Deadwood:
Guy taps and bangs on stuff in his laundry room, releases sample set.
It’s worth listening to the audio examples. It sounds exactly like you’d imagine — washing machines getting tapped, thumped and slammed. I sampled the water sloshing in my washer years ago for a track; this is precisely the sort of thing [...]
