Pickle Phobia

Posted in amuse at 5:44 pm by mridley

Saw this on boingboing but felt it was worth re-posting. Apparently they got it from Coop. Who knows. Nothing is original online.

I don’t care for pickles either. But I have a more subdued response - I just push them away.

A Little Web Zen a la Whitney Cummings

Posted in amuse at 5:13 am by mridley

I found this video amusing. My favorite VH-1/E! pop culture commentator Whitney Cummings does an improv music video for Gwen Stefani’s Holla Back Girl. Don’t worry, Chelsea Handler, I still have love for you too. There’s room in my heart for all my pseudo-famous girls.

Traffic Court Attire

Posted in amuse, life at 12:32 am by mridley

So I had traffic court on Wednesday. It went fine, but I have a question - you are supposed to dress up for court, right? Apparently the memo did not get out to my other traffic court defendants. Sweats and jeans abounded.

I just don’t see the wisdom of going to court looking like a criminal. If you go to court looking like you expect to go to jail, it seems to me that will increase the likelihood of that outcome.

I know it’s traffic court, and that’s really just one step up from a courtroom with Harry Anderson presiding. But still. Let’s have some respect people.

Another fun selection from YouTube. Here’s a machinima music video of the Avenue Q track, The Internet is for Porn. Pretty well done I’d say.

Dells Are Good for Porn

Posted in amuse at 2:19 am by mridley

I found this video amusing. It’s a clip from QVC where a satisfied customer calls in to report how awesome his new Dell is for watching pornos.

Richard Stallman on Pedophilia

Posted in amuse, politics at 4:03 am by mridley

I suppose I mention this only because I find it interesting when people of some notability make such controversial public statements. On his June 5th blog, Richard Stallman, founder of the GNU/free software movement shares some unorthodox philosophies on the dangers of pedophilia:

“05 June 2006 (Dutch paedophiles form political party)

Dutch pedophiles have formed a political party to campaign for legalization.

I am skeptical of the claim that voluntarily pedophilia harms children. The arguments that it causes harm seem to be based on cases which aren’t voluntary, which are then stretched by parents who are horrified by the idea that their little baby is maturing.”

Seems odd to me to put something out there like that without any citations to peer reviewed studies supporting such a claim. But whatever.

This is Why I Don’t Live in New York

Posted in amuse, life at 12:50 am by mridley

Savvy cosmopolitan chap that I am, I realize this is a video of Tokyo and not New York. But seriously, this is why I do not plan ever to move to New York.
