Don't forget the 12" Knight Who Says Ni.

(it.)

Adam, I think Jasper needs one of these bad boys!

You have to start him off sacrificing to the Old Ones early, or he'll turn on you and become a Seventh Day Adventist or something.

Cool.
Although This is the ultimate cool Geek Xmas gift you ask me.Or These. So is any CD from here. And some Kinoko & Takenoko for a stocking stuffer.

BTW, eyeballkid, I bough a bottle of that Ramune drink you mentioned chilling in the fridge. I'll have a full report soon.

I am very close to buying the "Eye of the Beholder" and "To Serve Man" 12" Twilight Zone Figures.

(the Gremlin as well)

Ha! Jon and I are on the same wavelenght tonight.

(wavelength)

"Submitted for your approval: Two sugar-addled, primate obsessed webloggers. Who try to crack the secrets of the universe by typing code into a machine. They don't know it but they've been sucked into THE MONKEY ZONE."

Heh.

Incredibly spiffy bottle and unbelievably complicated opening procedure, but basically it tastes like Seven-Up. But the industrial design makes it all worthwile. I've been picking all this stuff up at this sushi-stand/grocery-lotto joint on Sullivan Street in the Village, but there's places all over Manhattan that sell 'em. Don't they have Asian groceries in Cali, Eyeball?

I'm sure they do. I just haven't had a chance to look around at any of them. I'm so curious.

Way to diss the Old Ones, jonmc.

Guess whose soul gets eaten first?

Oh. Oh yes.

I'm not worried,kaf, my soul will put the Old Ones into a diabetic coma.

Nya-Nya.

I don't think THAT would make a very good baby shower gift.

I, for one, welcome our From the Place Where The Angles Are All Wrong Overlords.

I am reading a book that reminds me of Kafkaesque. But, then, I've read a lot of books that remind me of Kafkaesque.

Heh. Baby shower gifts.
Heh. It's got sharp, pointy teeth!

That's no ordinary rabbit, mate! That's the most cruel and foul-tempered rodent you ever set eyes on!

I bought my husband the first set of these for his fortieth birthday. They've been sitting in the closet for 4 months, waiting for that glorious day. Sheesh! But soon they will released from their shoe-laden prison and will reign!

I'd wish you a happy birthday, Kafka, but frankly, I'm not convinced your idea of a happy birthday would be all that healthy for the rest of us.

Speaking of the Black Goat of the Woods with a Thousand Young (weren't we?), I just seconds ago had a massive paranoia-spasm that (thankfully) almost but not quite led me to post a Metatalk thread - I'm suddenly and utterly certain that the USian government has planted a few easily-identifiable semi-articulate members of their Armed Forces (like this guy, for example) on Fetamilter to go rah! rah! for war! war! and Yay for Killing! and suchlike noises.

No MeTa thread, though, from me. Whew, Scooby! That was a close one!

Just in time to celebrate Kaf's birthday: Portugal leads the world of drubk! And the BBC caption writer can't spell "Portuguese". Yay!

"The veracity of the test was, though, thrown into doubt by the claim that Russians - known for their love of vodka - only tied with New Zealanders in 19th place, with a modest 7.3 litres each a year."

And where's Korea, I ask you? Just my sheer residence here has to have pushed it up a few notches in the rankings.

Little-known Korea Hooch fact : Jinro is the number 2 distiller in the world by volume.

Does the phrase "Plush Cthulhu" make anyone else think that there must be a usenet group somewhere devoted to them? Something like alt.sex.cthulhu.plushy? Or am I just not seeing my therapist frequently enough?

I want the Michel Foucault action figure, though. They'd battle each other and Michel would be like, Look at me! I'm theorizing the death of Man! Whee! And then the blasphemous Lord Of R'lyeh would be like, I'll show you the death of Man ... AAAARRRRRRRGGGGHHHHH!!!!!

Heh. Baby shower gifts.
Heh. It's got sharp, pointy teeth!

Now if that only came in bunny slippers...heh.

Adam, I think Jasper needs one of these bad boys!

Chris, I couldn't agree more.

Foucault is definitely more scary than plush Cthulhu. Sending bewildered undergrads to their doom since 1926!

Stavros, it isn't really paranoia if they really are after you ;-)

Seriously, I doubt the Army cares what goes on on mefi, but there are plenty of young army dudes with computers and nothing else to do. It would be surprising to me if some of them DIDN'T turn up on Big Blue occasionally.

Oh, by the way, do they have alka selzer in Korea? If not I could send you some-it HAS to be cheaper than mailing a book and cd to Turkey.

young army dudes

That's young army boogaloo dudes ...

I dunno, this guy's been around a lot longer, and i'm 99% certain he's still active in the armed forces.

The Ash and Evil Ash action figures have been calling out to me, but so far I've been good. Groovy!

"...it HAS to be cheaper than mailing a book and cd to Turkey."

Someone's mailed a CD and book to Turkey?

*idly wonders how much it would cost to mail a turkey to Turkey*

I wonder how much it cost to mail a book in a turkey?

*idly wonders how much it would cost to mail a turducken to Turkmenistan*

Now the problem with mailin' a turkey, you see, is you got to tape the beak. You don't tape the beak, you're lookin' at some serious risk factor. That little guy might just bust the box and go peckin' the innocent. In the eyeballs, maybe. You want that on your conscience? I didn't think so.

Please, I beg you. Tape the beak!

*wonders what it would cost to mail Miguel anywhere*

Maybe the Turkmenis should stick with horseyaken or whatever their local delicacy is. USPS charges 218 dollars to send a 12 lb turducken to Turkmenistan in two days.

On the other hand it'd only cost 116 bucks to send a 10 lb. box of Adam's ribs to Korea.

leave my ribs alone!

Now, Adam, this won't hurt a bit ...

This caught my eye. I know most folks have seen them in those, In-the-Middle-of-No-Where-Trinket shops aka BFE, yet this one has to be the best design by far.

Seen 'em? Hell, I've bagged a few. Got one mounted on my wall right now:

Crash, put that gun down....*backs slowly away*

Fuck, that was trippy ...

Administrator! The bolded link in kaf's post looks prettier than most others. Would a CSS change be possible for all links? And a chimpanzee ...

Crash I see it, the 68 mustang KR500 in blue, I like it.

ps that Nyarlathotep looks a cutie ... but I've had prettier octopi ...

You know what this thread needs?

A little Brolin.

That's a good way to close a thread I think.

Things getting a little out of hand? Slap a little Brolin on it.

Na, a Stoned looking Santa dispensing pez....or is it Jesus if he owned a hog as in cycle.

Sore, chapped nether regions? Becalm them with big gobs of Brolin Plus.

Oh. Oh dear. Oh dear Crash. North American turkey vultures "are kings of stink. Besides their fondness for dining on decaying flesh and their habit of defecating down their own legs, turkey vultures use a vile behavior to defend themselves. When under severe stress, they projectile vomit their partially digested carrion meals all over an intruder."

Down their own legs. Oh well wall.

Damn, just when I thought it couldn't get any worse, the doctor found an irritated Brolin. Man, the surgery for that is going to suck.

That's a good way to close a thread I think.
I noticed this just now, Kaf, whoops.

Hey now, I was just theorizing. You can go ahead and keep this sucker open all night.

There's no licensing hours on the net, Mr. Pike.

Mr. Pike? thomcat's pike, I like it, now to find it. [Thom like a monkey looks under armpit, behind him, sits with a banana in hand dazed like stoned looking santa above]

Who would win in a celebrity match a jackalope or this. I say Ni.

WTF is a Brolin? Looks ugly.

I believe 'Thomcats' was Christopher Pike's nickname in the pilot episode of the original Star Trek.

Or perhaps I dreamed it.

A "Brolin" is a person whose career is waning who marries a diva to leech off their credibility and fame while going is still good. Then it doesn't matter how many Meineke commercials or questionable tv shows about fighter pilots he makes. The same could be said for body-guards who marry Liz Taylor. They qualify for "Brolin" status.

Example: "That jpoulos is a total Brolin. Look at him, once a blogger with a modicum of fame, and now hitched with Mariah Carey. It's alarming. Nay, disturbing...."

Posted by: readymade on November 14, 2002 08:48 PM

In that example, isn't Mariah Carey the Brolin and J.Po the diva?

Brolin' Brolin' Brolin'
We call him Jimmy Brolin
though his ego's swollen
Rawhide....

By the way, thomcats, I loooved the peak.

You are so right, liam. My mistake. Mariah needs all the help she can get these days, and if I were a diva in the throws of a nervous breakdown, there is no other I would want to soothe my aching noggin than one J.Po. I completely acknowledge my foul misrepresentation of our fair lupo. Lupo, will you forgive me?

Christopher is my middle name, you are a wonder Mr. Strav. [Tip my hat to ya]

*demands 10 pounds of brown m&m's in his contract rider*

*storms off*

*marries bobby brown*

Actually, if I were to getwit a diva, I'd probably choose Janet (or rather "Miss Jackson", as I'm nasty.)

I'm not really the diva type, though. I'd much prefer a guitar chick than a high-heeled ego.

A note about posting images:

We encourage users to post images, especially those hilarous pics of monkeys wearing dresses or programming for Linux. But posting images that reside on someone else's server is considered by many to be bandwidth theft. Our thoughts on the matter, along with some solutions to the problem, can be found here. Thanks.
