Cheese is a kind of meat

JB’s favorite Mighty Boosh song. (I have too many to count.)

Cheese is a kind of meat
A tasty yellow beef
I milk it from my teat
I try to be discreet
O, cheese

Jonathan Coulton tomorrow night

Don’t forget, 21st century troubadour Jonathan Coulton will be playing at Nova 535 in St. Pete on Friday, January 15. It’s an all ages show and Paul & Storm kick it off at 8pm. I hope I see you there!

For those of you unfamiliar with JoCo’s work, here are a few samplings to whet your [...]

Christmas Is Interesting

Christmas Is Interesting by Jonathan Coulton

Merry Christmas from Chiron Beta Prime

Happy Christmas, y’all!

Chiron Beta Prime by Jonathan Coulton.

JoCo is playing St. Pete January 15!

Please pardon my dust while I do a little site re-design.

Regretsy

Helen Killer peruses Etsy looking for the most oddball, inexplicable, and stunningly bad works of amateur art and promotes them on Regretsy.

JB has been obsessed with this site for a week now, but I’ve only started checking it out. My favorite part is their photoshop efforts “View it in a room,” where they take [...]

Our 44th President – John McCain

Presumably this was a just-in-case page built last year.

(h/t the crunch)

Who wins in a smoke out? Snoop or Willie?

Snoop tweets -

“only person that every smoked me out is willie mothafuckn nelson!!! straight O.G.”

Reservoir Turtles

Class all day Friday and Saturday, assignments (including a real-work-as-opposed-to-school-work deadline) due Thursday, Friday, Saturday, & Sunday. And then the push begins to finish 5 projects due the first week of December.

If I weren’t doing so much work and school, I’d be writing more about hyper-polarization and how communities can search for common ground, [...]

Random Sitcom Idea

This idea for a sitcom sort of randomly popped into my head this morning. Here it is -

It’s called The Discoverers. It’s about these nutty, geeky Canadians who have built a DIY space exploration outfit and are going to explore strange new worlds. In the first episode they’re launched into space, while napping their instruments [...]

What a fatty!

Fatty fat fat Filippa Hamilton was fired by Ralph Lauren because she could no longer fit into his clothes. Filippa is so fat that his art department tried to “correct” her look with photoshop, resulting in this now notorious image -

Filippa was fired in April and says -

“They fired me because they said I was [...]

FOX is no CNN

The White House is correct in pointing out that FOX News acts as the communications arm of the GOP. But the idea that CNN is somehow doing “news” or “reporting” or “journalism” is laughable, as Stewart points out in the following segment.

Bombing the Moon

This headline – NASA to Bomb the Moon Friday, reminded me of this Mr. Show skit.

Look out moon! America’s gonna get ya!

Is the Bible too Liberal?

Yes! according to Conservapedia’s Conservative Bible Project.

“Jesus said, ‘Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they are doing.’

“Is this a liberal corruption of the original? This does not appear in any other Gospel, and the simple fact is that some of the persecutors of Jesus did know what they were doing. This quotation [...]

Here’s R/CT’s new business plan. We’re going to deploy cross-media relationships to generate web-enabled portals in order to redefine bricks-and-clicks paradigms. I think this will facilitate back-end mindshare and help synthesize e-business content. It’s a trillion-dollar business plan!

Ze Frank at Time Magazine

Here’s something I learned today. Ze Frank is doing the occasional video post at the Time magazine site.

Ze first came to my attention with his viral “How to Dance Properly.” The dance clips were produced in 2001, but I didn’t see them until they’d been online for a couple of years. He came to my [...]

Somebody on TV actually talks about something important

Colbert schools his audience on Santa Clara vs South Pacific Railroad.

“Santa Clara County v. Southern Pacific Railroad Company, 118 U.S. 394 (1886) was a United States Supreme Court case dealing with taxation of railroad properties. The case is most notable for the obiter dictum statement that juristic persons are entitled to protection under the Fourteenth [...]

Will Kanye be Censured?

It’s getting so that you can’t take Kanye anywhere.

Fat kid loves bacon

(h/t When Sparky met Wilma)

When they try to take away your bacon it’s time to hit the road.

Dullest Blog in the World

I know this sounds odd, but I love banality. Which is good, since it comprises about 98 percent of my life.

While reading a 19th century diary a few years ago I stumbled across my favorite diary entry ever; a line that I think pretty much sums up the meaning of life.

“I thought it might rain. [...]

Bugs Bunny is not a homosexual. Bugs Bunny is a transvestite.

The Double Down Sandwich from KFC

Consumerist, via Foodgeekery, reposts this cell phone recording of KFC’s latest sally in the War on American health.

And, Patton Oswalt thought the “sadness bowl” was the lowest KFC could sink.

Obesity actually shrinks your brain, which might explain why logic and reason don’t mean diddly-squat in our health care debates.

Beloit College Mindset List for 2013

One of my favorite annual publications has just been released. Every year an eager freshman class is ready to start college, and I become increasingly estranged from the youth of today. The Mindset List lists things that have always been true for the entering freshman class. All my references to typewriters, mercury thermometers, and the [...]

On what planet do you spend most of your time?

yay! Frank!

Seriously, in what world does making sure that insurance companies don’t drop your policy on a whim, equal the brutal slaughter of millions and millions of people and the aggressive military attempt to rule the world?

Frank deals with a town loon.

“Having a conversation with you would be like trying to argue with the dining [...]

BK’s super seven-incher

Hmmm, a super seven-incher with piping hot beef with a little creamy mayo oozing out… is it just me or is this ad suggestive?

You’ve Been Post’d

“Journalism didn’t work out, we’ll try this instead. Are we viral yet? Please say we’re viral.”

Trenchant as hell.

This Party Took a Turn for the Douche by Garfunkel and Oates

The awesome Riki “Garfunkel” Lindhome and Kate “Oates” Micucci perform a rap about douchebags.

Children Oppose Children’s Healthcare

Study: Most Children Strongly Opposed To Children’s Healthcare

Ghost Busters (1954) Trailer

A pretend 1954 Ghost Busters trailer with Bob Hope, Dean Martin & Jerry Lewis, and Fred MacMurray composed via mash-up.

“This is a fake, independent, non-profit trailer. It is not endorsed or connected to Columbia Pictures or Sony. It was made as a purely technical exercise and for laughs.”

My American Idol

(JBisMe is an occasional guest contributor to Re/Creating Tampa. Here she recounts her recent visit to see the American Idol stars in concert.)

On account of my fascination with Adam Lambert, I did something very uncharacteristic for me: I attended the American Idol concert last night at the St. Pete Times Forum.

My good friends JG and [...]
