YouTubesday: Les Breastfeeders

Tuesday, February 27th, 2007 by Aabra

As my high school friends still remind me any chance they get (ahem), I’ve always been confused about our French-speaking neighbors to the north. Why do some North Americans speak French? Why are they here? What do they want? Did they bring baguettes? So, imagine my confusion upon hearing the yé-yé-inspired French pop sextet Les [...]

YouTubesday: Finland has hippies?!?

Tuesday, February 27th, 2007 by Aabra

Overheard on WFMU: “I’ve been listening to a lot of Finnish psych-folk lately.” I didn’t know Finland had hippies. Let’s investigate! * I like the name of this one: The Polka Dot Sunflower Bed Orchestra. You can listen to a couple tracks at that last link, if you dropped a tab 30 minutes ago. I [...]

Krispy Kreme is introducing whole wheat doughnuts?? Why, god, why?? Dig this: “My friend Mani Niall owned Mani’s Bakery in Los Angeles. A movie company came to him to develop a healthful doughnut to use as a prop in a Danny DeVito movie (Danny is a very health conscious eater and didn’t want to eat [...]

“Think of the children!”

Tuesday, February 27th, 2007 by Aabra

Yeah, Leaky has a new PotterCast up! In it they mention the wackos’ latest criticism of Equus. These people crack me up: “Dan, we’re fine with the nudity. And underage sex. And animal abuse. But why does your character need to smoke?? Think of the children not allowed to see this play!”

* Aww. This Weebl and Bob is dedicated to Wesley Willis. I didn’t know Brits had heard of Wesley. * Ahhh! The Smurfs heard me calling them commies and have formed a terrifying commie lynch mob! Heeeeelp! Via Neatorama. * More Carnival photos. ‘Love the Pac-Man and ghost crew! * More flash games I suck [...]

We were a Nielsen family

Friday, February 23rd, 2007 by Aabra

Okay, people, it can now revealed: For one week, for the princely sum of $30, we were a Nielsen family. We got a call, then were sent a little notebook that looked like it was designed in the mid ’60s. You answer a bunch of scary questions, like age, race, how many kids you have [...]

Leaky’s posted new pics of the marauders, and young Snape: What an emo-looking fella.

I’ve got to stop blogging whilst stoned on cider

Thursday, February 22nd, 2007 by Aabra

Have you ever noticed that the old Soviet flag… and the Chinese flag… look an awful lot like the McDonalds flag?? It’s… it’s a Communist plot, like the metric system, the Smurfs, and global warming. They’re trying to make us all fat so they can, um… measure our Smurfs in liters? Damn you, Spire Mountain [...]
