My poor friends page and feeds page are all full of grief and sorrow. Fear not, bereaved hipsters! I know you’ll miss that guy who took a lot of drugs and helped you realize that editors are Satans, and also took a lot of drugs. But remember that you can still see him whenever you want: dancing, forever dancing, rendered almost as realistically as he was in his own writing.

So what happens to Doonesbury’s Uncle Duke now?
See, David Caruso is bad.
I just realized, thanks to Maria, that Will Arnett? The guy who plays Gob on Arrested Development? Is just doing a David Caruso imitation all the time. Brilliant!
Also, Arrested Development has apparently been cancelled without even being allowed to finish its second season, which sucks.
Update 1921 hrs: Happily, I lied, but AZCentral did it first. Thanks for making me look yet again like a fishwife on a ducking stool, AZCentral!
Embarrassment is anticipated
I finally did what I’ve been threatening to do for over two years: there is now a navigable archive of every single IdiotCam©. I did some horrible things to NewsBruiser’s theme system to make it an image gallery, but it works. You can view things by their post dates or their categories (including the entire Plastic Mullet Series), and you can search for the title text and some other keywords. There’s even an RSS feed, so I don’t have to worry that humans who only subscribe to this site are being deprived of me putting stuff in my nose!
I will eat my words when I am thirty-eight
But man, they’re just… they’re just trying so hard.
Okay, the useless trivia generator in my brain is telling me that there was some guy, some old famous writer, who used to get his best ideas as he was falling asleep. He would lie on a couch holding a spoon above a plate on the floor; when he dozed off, he’d drop the spoon and wake himself up, and then go write down whatever had popped into his head.
I am absolutely sure I didn’t make this up, but I don’t know about whom the story ostensibly was. Does anybody else remember?
Update 2211 hrs: It was Dali! Thanks to Jacob (I think).
Signs I was not cut out to be a nerd
- It took me years to parse the difference between “Life Saver” and “lightsaber.”
Why GIRLS ARE PRETTY is great
“Last summer, Matt Hohlfienz punched you in the eye pulled down your swim trunks during a swimming lesson at the community Y. Everyone laughed. It’s time to make Matt Hohlfienz scream like a dying animal.”
