Joey's new gloves... first one done!

Patons Classic Merino. Not too bad... a few holes, and the fingers are positioned weird...

Proving to the world that yes, yet again, the bottom of the barrel can be surpassed in political discourse and ignorance of the real issues facing his state and locality, a jackass politician wastes time introducing a bill to ban Bumper Nuts.

Representatives of the Unfixed-Canid-American community could not be reached for comment.

(thank you, alihja!)

In lieu of actual content

and having to explain why I can't stop thinking "god, I hope the poo washes out of the sheets" today, here's another link dump!

A great Dark Roasted Blend link about Abandoned Amusement Parks. Especially love the picture of the korean girl splattered on the pavement.

Gizmodo has picked up another reader because of their sullen Consumer Electronics Show review and their culture jamming antics. I think the funniest part of the culture jamming are the geeks in the responses having vapor-lock because someone shut their TVs off. Don't they read comp.risks for chrissakes?

I haven't been able to do much the last few days because I've been obsessively uploading everything to my yesterday-approved Ravelry account... maybe my attitude about all things Web 2.0 is softening. And I might've covered this before, but I still find bugknits amazing. I thought these 0 gauge needles I'm using for these socks were freakin' tiny.

Tweaking my love of ELO is the Xanadu Presevation channel on Youtube. Some good, some bad. Dammit, now I have to listen to the soundtrack again, argh!

Ebaying used socks? Isn't there some rule against that somewhere? They're currently at $64, and will probably go a bunch higher. And how come they don't take PAYPAL??

I've also been running across a lot of cool steampunk crap and even a steampunk themed band. (mostly via Brass Goggles.)

Watch all(?) your favorite anime.

I'll probably be doing another big stupid link-dump like I did for the bear411 thing, but I've also been accumulating links about that fucking dickhead spammer I was just on about...

*listens to his handy old 50s geiger counter go click-click-click-click*

I don't think he'll mind if you masturbate over his myspace page and not tell him about it. Though, it's probably not the masturbation that will make you blind. (Thanks, for this lovely thing to look at)

Crocheted FSM hat. Raaaamen...

Cars Detroit forgot to build. Didn't Winnebagos fulfill the "living room on wheels" fantasy? Also, a cool retro-future Disney movie about the future of auto transportation.

Stare into the middle of this for about 30 seconds, and then look at something else.

A very useful chart showing various CSS support in various browsers. Only two months old, but I think it's already out of date.

Another lovely photo site.

And another pretty hilarious web strip.

And an extremely worthy, but completely unrealistic torrent.

Toss out your old stereotypes, and acquire some new ones. But first, let me smell yo' dick.

Goodbye, Auf Wiedersehen, arrivederci...

Just took down my work Xmas trees, and tossed the cheap-assed little Norfolk that seems to have died before its time. Goodbye Xmas 07, you were so good to me! Best atheist xmas evar!

Gallery ad for cool artist...

... that at least one person on my friends list will "get"...

Oh lunatic celebrity...

Some dumb celebrity mag has a minute by minute timeline of some lunatic celebrity's recent meltdown that is so tedious as to almost be funny, that I can't help but compare it to Don Saklad's Day at the Boston Public Library. (You'll have to scroll down about half-way.)

Don Saklad was (is?) this batshit weirdo that is convinced there's some conspiracy within the Boston Public Library to keep information from him. He also used to come into the GBLT channel on the infant EFNet IRC network and try to convince everyone not to have sex because everyone will get AIDS. We used to think he was just a semi-intelligent AI someone was inflicting on us for their jollies, until people started to see him in public.

Anyway, if anyone at all wondered, Kibo is from whom I got my inclination to mock crazy people!

All together now...

Raise your hands! Look of panic on your faces! Mouth open, with a loud "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAIIIIIIIIIIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE" sound! Run quickly from room to room distractedly! Running into walls is encouraged!

Welcome to the new work year!
