This Tuesday Auntie Ha Ha and a mysterious stranger roled in to town.

It was good to see the ol' girl again and we fully support her new beau, Jesse, especially when he kept asking her about "this boozy mc drinks-a-lot song," which prompted all of us to sing the once-classic hit in the midst of classy wine bar.

Boobie also helped us kick-off the soon-to-be-started Old Deluder Satan Law project

(name c/o: the whalewatcher)

the mysterious stranger
Some of you have already been forewarned of its coming, but for those confused, more details will surely follow



(as will an mp3 of its glorious beginnings)

That is all we have for now. Seeing old friends makes us miss them all the more. As does it make us miss those we haven't seen recently. For that matter, we miss all the friends that aren't sitting in our house right now.

In the words of Haley Mills and Haley Mills, "Let's get together. What do you say?

"Think of all that we could share. Let's get together, everyday, every way, and everywhere. And though we haven't got a lot, we could be sharing all we've got.

"Together."

Soon.

I'm sorry, but Lost is the best show on television.

Nay, the best f%$&ing show on television.

Call me a nerd, but this Lost: Experience interactive game they have set up may be the sinlge-most inventive and interesting thing to happen to television in the last 10 years.

And it keeps getting better.

Last Saturday, July 22, Lost:Experience character Rachel Blake, opponent to the Hanso Foundation, confronted Lost cast and crew at the Comi-con in San Diego during a panel discussion. She claimed their use of the Hanso Corporation for entertainment value was uncontionable, proclaiming, "Their blood is on your hands," before being escorted out by security. {video}

That's entertainment folks.

So much time and money is being put into this experience; an experience directed almost entirely at current fans. It probably won't win them any new fans, but it does give their hard-core fanbase something special. I'm pretty impressed. That's a great gift.

Interested? Here's some more:

It's about time I adressed something that has been bothering me as of late.

Last week, blogger user Maverick sent me the following message in response to my Jack Sparrow post.

Hello,
I really enjoyed looking over your blog. I stumbled across it while I was looking for diaper cakes to compare to some of the diaper cakes I make. If you get a chance, go to www.diapergifts.com and let me know what you think. I will be coming back to vist your blog often. Good Luck!

This left me with one obvious question, "What the *&$# is a diaper cake?!"

At first I thought it was a hilarious joke with a link to some porn, or a pyramid scheme or something. But alas no. As you can see from the above picture, there is such a thing as a diaper cake, and many of theme appear to be themed.

There is no mention of diaper cakes at Wikipedia, but Diaper Cake Depot explains that Diapercakes

are a wonderfully handcrafted baby gift. Each cake is exclusively prepared upon order and no two cakes are exactly alike. This inedible cake is lovingly arranged with premium diapers coiled in bountiful layers filled with baby necessities and toys. The outer layer is adorned with hooded towels, bibs, onesies, booties, and many other baby items. All our cakes are sealed in cellophane wrapping and topped off with a big bow. Diaper cakes are ideal for: baby shower gifts and centerpieces, new parents, and a welcome to the world gift for baby.

I'm sorry. But a cake made of diaper! I don't even like real cake that much. Why would I want a cake made out diaper?

So, Maverick. Thank you for your kind offer, but I'm gonna have to pass.

During my lunch break today I watched a goth-looking girl with magenta bangs pose for a nerdy curly-haired kid with a sketchpad. The girl was placed in several situation, all of them involving various comic book poses and different sizes of ray-guns, the biggest of which was easily the length of her leg.

What's with girls with guns? Is it sexy? Dangerous? Is it a juxtaposition of traditional motherly/family values and the (formerly) male-dominated war machine? Perhaps the women's rights movement at it's natural culmination?

I don't know.

What I do know is nerds love them some sexy ladies with guns. It's a phenomena we might never understand. But, as history has often taught us, it is better to foresee the future than explain the past. Our studies of girls with guns can pave the way for future gun-toting demographics.

And my extensive studies seem to be saying that cats with guns is the next logical step. Consider the way paved.

Hello friends,

"Here's to a new tomorrow!"

"Here's to a better looking Let's Get Famous experience!"


"Here's to gratuitous youTube links and rambling nonsense done in style!"

Hear hear. We'll drink to that. We'll drink to the entertainment that the fabulous internet has always been to us, and we hope to play a little part in that.

We're sorry if change is a little uncomfortable for you, but you'll get used to it quickly. We've brought along all your old friends and added a few more. We solemnly swear not to make things too much different. Better, yes. Different, just a little. Sexy, most assuredly.

So take a look around. E-mail us if you have a chance. Thanks for being our friends.

At the risk of being the total potty-humor champions today, we give you:

Try to name all of the euphamisms for pooing found in this video. It may take a few watches. It's jam-packed with poo!

What could it be

Their Love Was a Forbidded One...

One that Spanned Cultures...

And Generations...

And Ecosystems...

But Nothing Could Separate Them...

Coming to theaters this fall.
