I'm usually a big fan of the Des Moines Register (our local paper), but today there was this letter from the editor explaining that he'd decided this week's Doonesbury strips were too graphic to print in the family comics, and we would be having reruns instead ( Read more... )

Eep! Only two weeks left until AX! I need to get cracking on my cosplay sewing and anime watching. Speaking of, Reborn has just introduced I-Pin, the Chinese character who uses the smell of garlic to fling opponents through the air and periodically explode. I do not understand, but she seems nice enough. Tsuna, unsurprisingly, continues to be ( Read more... )

Oh, Sinfest. How accurate you sometimes are.

So, hey, does anyone remember that ridiculous theory that rain follows the plow? The idea was that the Great Plains were a dry desert until settlers came along and farmed them in the middle-to-late 1800s, making the rain fall. Yeah. As Wikipedia notes, the theory's pretty discredited now, to put it ( Read more... )

This doujin is officially the most hilarious thing I've encountered all week - no, maybe all month. I said in an earlier post that Naruto and Sasuke could fight while doing anything - and here they are fighting again, doing that exact same thing, except now their bodies have been switched thanks to a justu mishap.

Oh, how I LOLed.

I've been really busy at work (in particular, catalog deadlines meant I ended up working over the weekend; bleh), so here's an extra-long post about, uh... Stuff. And things. Most of which are probably not interesting, but I have decided to talk about anyway. I recently acquired a set of the One Piece wanted posters, and since I was putting those ( Read more... )

If you're looking for a way to procrastinate this evening, you could do worse then helping XCKD out with some kind of color survey. I'm not really sure what the data's gonna be for, but I was intrigued enough to name 47 colors or so anyway. Interesting self discovery: I'll apparently go out of my way to differentiate between different kinds of ( Read more... )

I have another favorite author! Her name is Morimoto Shuu, and the two works I've read of hers so far are entirely delightful. The first, Jinjuu Houretsuden, takes place in sort of an alternate China with periodic trips to another dimension, and involves guerrilla warfare, an adorable panda, and me snickering every time the characters talk about " ( Read more... )

I really have no interest in Kanye West, but I have to admit that some of these are really pretty funny ( Read more... )

Best. Comic panel. Ever. My favorite part is the sound effect, which I originally read as a different seven-letter word that starts with "sploo."

Hot salmon on salmon action. To quote the blog I stole the link from: "Probably SFW, unless you work in an aquarium ( Read more... )

Hooray for Gooba!

ETA: Is anyone else getting a weird redirect to anyresults.com from the above link? I'm using standard HTML, the link works fine when I type it into my search bar, and I'm not linking to a virus site or anything, so what the hell?

In other news: hope.
