Buttbart.com - A spoofy version of Breitbart, featuring Domald Tromp, the star of a series of books by mysterious author Chuck Tingle (other Tingle titles include Space Raptor Butt Invasion and My Ass Is Haunted By The Gay Unicorn Colonel). I wish the site had more content, but just the article titles alone are a hoot.
How Would Dracula Deal With Isis? - I think the title says it all, here.
Evolutionary biology meets Adam and Eve in the archives - Artist Jenifer Wightman has designed and hand-printed a leaf to match the Gutenberg Bible, correcting some of its misinformation ;) I love the idea, her approach to it, and the way so many archives are open to her proposal.
Two articles (here) and (here) in which a YouTube engineer explains how YouTube's goal of maximizing engagement unintentionally promotes videos that discredit the media and favor conspiracy theories, divisive content, and general nuttiness.
Once you've read those you'll be depressed and discouraged, so here's a very funny one to end with:
The Hobbit: An Unexpected Deficiency, in which The Medical Journal of Australia explains The Hobbit in terms of Vitamin D deficiencies XD Hugely funny, especially for the completely poker-faced approach it takes.
So there you go: the fruits of falling down teh interwebz rabbit hole today.
Oh, and it's still snowing here. ::curses quietly but viciously::

Two book recs for today. I don't recommend you actually read them, necessarily, just...well, take a look :)
Latawnya the Naughty Horse Learns to Say No to Drugs
BIRTH CONTROL IS SINFUL IN THE CHRISTIAN MARRIAGES AND ALSO ROBBING GOD OF PRIESTHOOD CHILDREN!!
Those exclamation points aren't mine, ladies and gentlemen -- they're actually part of the title.
Read the reviews, they are hilarious. And the "People who viewed this also viewed..."

I'm in day 4 of a five-day workshop on digital collections, digital projects, digital forensics and for all I know digital didgeridoos. My head feels about to explode, so the best I can offer today is this bit of silliness:
Now is the delphipsmith of our discontent
Made glorious summer by this sun of York.
Which work of Shakespeare was the original quote from?
Dear Santa...

 Dear Santa...Dear Santa, This year I've been busy! Last Saturday I gave ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif){kind=small} ennyousai a wet willie, then I took it back (-5 points). Last week I pushed sixpence_jones in the mud (-17 points). In September I ruled Duluth, Minnesota as a cruel and heartless dictator (-700 points). In April lady_of_clunn and I donated clothes to the needy (11 points). Last Monday I turned rivertempest in for farting in church (3 points). Overall, I've been naughty (-708 points). For Christmas I deserve a lump of coal! Sincerely, |
There is simply nothing to say to this, it just demands your instant and utter enjoyment. I mean really, look at that puckish grin, right? All one can do is just giggle hysterically. And perhaps wish for a bucket or two of clarified butter.
I put it down to too much Ian McKellen. Or his new wife, maybe.

Menny Hapy Returnz to Me
21 January 2013 04:17 pmYou know, it's amazing how the whole country is celebrating my birthday. Not only did all federal employees get the day off, but there were 800,000 people partying in the streets of Washington DC this morning!! Remarkable. And that's not even counting the lovely birthday wishes from my flisties here on LJ. Thank you all, I feel so loved :)

Icons for droxy
13 June 2012 10:28 pmdroxy says she has been feeling Luddite-ish lately and bemoaned the lack of appropriate icons, so I made two. It gratifies my sense of irony to use technology to make and post and share icons about how suspect technology is. Anyway, here they are:
Enjoy!
I recently discovered the parodic stylings of Minerva mctabby and have laughed myself nearly into a cracked rib. Be sure to put down any beverages before proceeding...Ready? OK!
The Head of Slytherin is a delightfully demented and decadent little piece set to the tune of "The Battle Hymn of the Republic." There's voyeurism, slash, and polyjuiced rhyming smut -- who could ask for more?? Apparently it was written back in 2002 for something called "the Severus Snape Fuh-Q Fest," which sounds fabulous and quite possibly worth reviving. Here's a sample:
(If you need a refresher on the melody)
I would never have believed it of my stooges, Crabbe and Goyle,
But I saw them sneak off somewhere with a flask of massage oil.
I pursued - and found him waiting, with a cauldron on the boil -
The Head of Slytherin.
Then there's the hilarious That Potter Slash, also by McTabby, a parody of everyone's favorite Dr. Seuss book Green Eggs and Ham:
Would you, could you
Harry/Snape?
Read it! Read it!
No escape!
Serious giggles lie ahead. Read (or sing) aloud for best effect.
