Baby Got Back (In The Style of Glee)

I’ve released this track as a single – it should be on iTunes, Amazon, and Google Play eventually if it’s not already. It’s a cover of Glee’s cover of my cover of Sir Mix-a-Lot’s song, which is to say it’s EXACTLY THE SAME as my original version. I’m releasing this under the same Harry Fox license I used for the 2005 release, so Mix will get all the royalties due to him. I’ll donate the proceeds from all sales that happen between now and the end of February to two charities: The VH1 Save the Music Foundation, and The It Gets Better Project.

Genius. Jonathan is making some amazing lemurade out of these lemurs.

That’s really funny/sad/cool.

Jonathan Coulton: king of lemonade.

BUY THIS NOW.  It’s only a dollar, and everybody loves lemonade, right?

paulscheer: VULTURE EXAMINES BACK TO THE FUTURE’S ODD NEWSPAPERS The other night, I flipped to a few minutes of Back to the Future — actually, it was the considerably worse sequel, centering on a dystopian alternative future in which Biff Tannen has gained wealth, power, and Marty McFly’s mom. I was struck by a recurrent plot fact that had never quite registered before: The local newspaper, the Hill Valley Telegraph, plays a major role in the plot exposition of both films. And the paper’s news judgment is exceedingly bizarre. Zoom

American Aquarium Drinker: Listen:

daveholmes:

It is indeed tempting to benefit from Anonymous’ work and harass the idiot garbage monsters of the Westboro Baptist Church, but DO NOT DO IT.

These people are lawyers, and the area of law in which they specialize is how cruelly can we legally harass a group of American citizens, and which of…

So I attended a graduation ceremony yesterday. I had a lot more written, but it’s impossible not to sound racist when describing what happened there, so I made some bullet points and included a photo my sister took.  Needless to say, it was at once uncomfortable and gleefully anarchic.  Some of what happened was just weird.  WEIRD. -Police chief was in attendance.  So were lots of uniformed officers.  Lots of police.  Surrounding the perimeter. -Every time the principal asked the crowd to hold their applause until they’ve called all the names, at least four people in the crowd responded, “Nooooope.”  or just let out a short airhorn blast. -When the principal introduced her intern to accept a plaque commemorating her work at the school, a lot of the crowd could be seen cocking their heads to the side and muttering to the person next to them.  This could be because the principal’s intern was about the same age as the principal (mid 50’s?) and LOOKED EXACTLY LIKE HER.  Same weird, short-cropped, choppy haircut, same height, same glasses.  Same face, pretty much.  From where we were sitting (not that far away—maybe about 75 feet), they could be the same person.  Weird. -There was a moment where they called a name—let’s say it was “John Smith III”, and then they called two more names, and then “John Smith IV”.  I’m sure I wasn’t the only one in the audience who, for just a second, thought that someone had graduated with his son.  If you were there, you would have, too, you racist. -The above photo.  You have to give him credit for showing up.  I’m sure there are tons of people who attend graduation ceremonies everywhere wearing one of those, but it added to the general gonna-get-stabbed-iness of the whole affair. -And finally, your valedictorian, Chardonnay.

Conversations with Brandon: The Great Shark Debate

Brandon is 7.

B:  Uncle, what are you afraid of?

E:  I don’t know—that’s kind of a deep question, isn’t it, buddy?  Let’s see.  I’m afraid of heights.  Are you afraid of heights?

B:  Yeah.

E:  But I’m like, really afraid of heights.  Like pee-my-pants-afraid.

B:  Really?  I’m afraid of heights, but just a little. 

E:  And sharks.  I’m afraid of sharks.

B:  Even baby sharks?

E:  Well, no.  I guess not.  Baby sharks are cute.

B: …

E:  You okay?

B: Sharks eat people, right?

E: Sure.  That’s why I’m afraid of sharks.  They’re all muscle and teeth.

B: But baby sharks…they only eat babies, right?

*I can only assume he’s working on an angle where he gets a baby shark for his birthday.

I don’t know what it says about me…

…but the first thing I noticed in the new photo Twittered by one of Charlie Sheen’s porn star friends was that we have the same coffee table—not the giant vagina in the foreground.  I know what it says about Sheen, though—he’ll spend thousands of dollars on escorts and cocaine, but he gets his furniture at Ikea.
