Bad photoshop, but still funny

Cool black metal logos

Here's a brief interview with this Belgian guy who designs bitchen logos for black metal bands. On the interview page, click the image to check out a slide show of logos. Badass calligraphy in the service of the Dark Lord.

something for chris

Ignore the cheese at the start. It is worth it if a bit disturbing at times.

Meteorite lands in western Canada

This is from a cop car's camera. I think there are other angles available. Pretty cool.

Keepin' it surreal.

Sarah Palin speaks to local tv while turkeys are slaughtered mere feet behind her.

A modern day Robin Hood

Beginning in spring of 2007, a mystery vandal visited businesses at night, pressing his naked behind — sometimes his groin, sometimes both — on windows. The marks were made with lotion or petroleum jelly, and while police had earlier worried copycat criminals were getting involved, Scott said they now believe it's "the act of a lone deviant."

Ladies and gents, the story of the Butt Bandit.... Thanks to Gina for sending this one.

Was Newsweek ever a reputable magazine?

I think it sheds any credibility with the publishing of this article, in which the possibility that Obama might be the "antichrist" is discussed. It's baffling how this medieval bullshit remains so prominent in an age when information is so readily available.

Neal, you should order this for the library.

This is an actual book. Buy it here from the evil empire. Apparently, the asshole on the cover is suing the publisher for libel. As if he is not a douchebag. If there's justice in the world, he will lose.

dear god my eyes!

John Williams done accapella

You'll get a kick out of this Neal.

Don't watch this video (nsfw)

I couldn't figure out how to embed the stupid video, so you'll have to click this link.

I warned you not to watch it.

they don't make em like they used to

what if there were dinosaurs in the civil war?

Yes a real museum, and still not as stupid as the Creation Museum.

(Links to John Scalzi's report)

"Imagine, if you will, a load of horseshit. And we’re not talking just your average load of horseshit; no, we’re talking colossal load of horsehit. An epic load of horseshit. The kind of load of horseshit that has accreted over decades and has developed its own sort of ecosystem, from the flyblown chunks at the perimeter, down into the heated and decomposing center, generating explosive levels of methane as bacteria feast merrily on vintage, liquified crap. This is a Herculean load of horseshit, friends, the likes of which has not been seen since the days of Augeas.

And you look at it and you say, “Wow, what a load of horseshit.”"

work blog

I started a book review blog for work a few months ago. Not much on there yet, but if you guys are interested in what midwestern librarians are reading...

http://www.tcpl.lib.in.us/bookclubs/

BTW I submit posts for staff so not all posts with my name will have been written by me, though all the ones so far are.

it was Jesus that brung them gas prices down

The party is never going to end, you know.

More like Nancy Boys

We've all seen album covers with guys dressed up like this. You know, those "worst album covers of all time" lists floating around the internet. Here's a webpage that features promotional photos of more of these bozos--swedish dance bands, evidently. What I find interesting is how many of them there are. Nowaday, dressing like that is considered aberrant behavior.

Chris, you know I wanted on your blog just so I could post crap like this...

Asshole

Wasn't the Berenstein Bears the lamest cartoon ever?

This is real.

I guess it's supposed to be shared between a dog and its owner. Gag me with a spoon.

It's funny because it's true.

"No" is not an option.

That's algae. More images.

Some cool science pictures

This is an image of a squid's suckers. Check out some other cool images here.

Neat

So, this guy took photos of himself every day for 17 years. Now you can watch him age those years in about two minutes time.

Alex Grey, eat your heart out.

I know there are a lot of young children who look at this website, so you have to click to see this image. Classy.

Definitely NOT a photo shop job

Getting, like, political an' shit

Then we have this editorial that sticks it to the illegal surveillance cheerleading right wing cocksuckers.

I'll take beer instead...

Sneaky kitty

Abbath, for Chris...

...because he likes these guys, too. Not just me!

Graphic design at its finest

See the header illustration on this page....

Idiocracy

This photo says it all, does it not? Check out the cro-mag in the background, Schlitz in hand, puffing on a cigarette. I'd say it's time to run for the fucking hills, but this is what's waiting there.

Wendy O. Williams/Plasmatics

This fucking rocks. I'm actually ashamed it's taken me this long to get in to this. You'd think I'd have been a bit curious seeing as how she went to my high school!

Glen Campbell/Wichita Lineman

I've always been partial to this one:



Which, speaking of covers, has been done about 100,000 times since.

Glen Campbell

Yes, he's most recently famous for his mugshot following a DUI arrest, but listen to this fucking song. Keep in mind you're hearing the voice of a seventy two year old man. Beautiful. This is from an album of covers that was just released called, Meet Glen Campbell. You can look at it as a cash-in on the popularity of Johnny Cash's recent albums of modern covers, but that would sell this one quite short. Don't let that keep you from listening to this.

(Oh yeah, Steve, a couple Jellyfish guys are on this. Roger Manning definitely.)

innards!

This is neatO.

It was a special Olympics
