Fafblog on Love
the one about the love “Giblets is the enemy of love!” says Giblets with his anti-love arsenal. “He will hunt it and kill it and mount its head upon his wall!” “I dunno Giblets,” says me. “I’m thinkin maybe this doesn’t have as much to do with love as it’s got to do with you gettin dumped again by Noodles.” “She will come crawling back to Giblets!” says Giblets. “She will come crawling back to Giblets NOOOOW!” “There’s plenty a women in the sea,” says me. “Like mermaids an naiads an squidladies.” “Keep your half-octopus females to yourself!” says Giblets. “All they wanna do is digest Giblets and turn him into ink.” “A good woman is like a fine cheese,” says me. “Or a large hat. Or an aggrieved sasquatch. Or an elephant made outta trees an ropes an lotsa smaller elephants.” “Giblets never wants to see another elephant again!” says Giblets. “He is done with them and their cheating hearts! He is burning all pianos!” “But you love the elephants,” says me. “You can’t live with em an you can’t live without em.” “Cause they tear out your liver an brains an replace em with the fungal herbs of the undead,” says Giblets. “Women like zombies on accounta their drive,” says me. “Zombies keep their eyes on the prize an the prize is eatin brains.” “Yes very goal-oriented,” says Giblets. “But what of the robots! With their laser-mounted death beams an their single-track extermination programming they sweep the ladies off their feet!” “In the battle a robots an zombies everybody loses,” says me. “That’s why all sides have to work together to end the robot-zombie arms race.” “You talk madness, we need the robots to keep the zombies at bay!” says Giblets. “There’s no goin back once the robot-zombie genie’s outta the bottle!” “That kinda thinkin won’t protect us from zombies or robots,” says me. “It’ll only lead to mutually assured zombification.” “That’s just a price we’ll have to pay to win the war,” says Giblets. “The war of love,” says me.

Shotgun Golf with Bill Murray.
Only a madman would call a legend of Bill Murray’s stature at 3:33 a.m. for no good reason at all. It would be a career-ending move, and also profoundly rude. . . . But my reason was better than good …
Funny, well, because it’s uncomfortably close to reality

Man walks through physics building at UT. Man finds stack of freshman physics homework assignments (“How have lasers affected your life?”).
Man peruses, discoving that freshmen involved are drooling idiots of the first order. Man adds his own comments, then scans said papers for display on the Internet before replacing them.

There’s just no way to describe this that does it justice
Some German guy has written a number of stories about Roy Orbison wrapped in cling film. In fact, there’s no way to describe it at all, so here’s a sample:
It always starts the same way. I am in the garden airing my terrapin Jetta when he walks past my gate, that mysterious man in black. ‘Hello Roy,’ I say. ‘What are you doing in Dusseldorf?’ ‘Attending to certain matters,’ he replies. ‘Ah,’ I say. He apprises Jetta’s lines with a keen eye. ‘That is a well-groomed terrapin,’ he says. ‘Her name is Jetta.’ I say. ‘Perhaps you would like to come inside?’ ‘Very well.’ He says. Roy Orbison walks inside my house and sits down on my couch. We talk urbanely of various issues of the day. Presently I say, ‘Perhaps you would like to see my cling-film?’ ‘By all means.’ I cannot see his eyes through his trademark dark glasses and I have no idea if he is merely being polite or if he genuinely has an interest in cling-film. I bring it from the kitchen, all the rolls of it. ‘I have a surprising amount of clingfilm,’ I say with a nervous laugh. Roy merely nods. ‘I estimate I must have nearly a kilometre in the kitchen alone.’ ‘As much as that?’ He says in surprise. ‘So.’ ‘Mind you, people do not realize how much is on each roll. I bet that with a single roll alone I could wrap you up entirely.’ Roy Orbison sits impassively like a monochrome Buddha. My palms are sweaty. ‘I will take that bet,’ says Roy. ‘If you succeed I will give you tickets to my new concert. If you fail I will take Jetta, as a lesson to you not to speak boastfully.’ from the first such story

These are cool. The artist removed people from photographs and restored them by tracing/drawing, creating a weird sort of empty presence.
Finally, truth in advertising
This Dodge truck commercial will never be on your TV, but it’s worth giggling at anyway (1.3MB Windows media).

BobSagetIsGod.com needs no description.
However, Molatar’s Castle defies description; we can, however, give you a quote:
The features of my proposed dragon body were told to me by the Holy Spirit in February of 2004. Before I could pray for a dragon body, I needed to determine what I was praying for exactly. The Holy Spirit was very generous and described for me a powerful dragon body I was comfortable with. Once I knew what my body looked like, I told the Holy Spirit that I accepted His description and to go ahead with the shape-shift. I leave you this compilation so that if you need to change into a dragon, you have the specifications already worked out.

Finally, a definitive source!
Chris points us to a list of porn titles based on regular movies, something we’ve wanted for a long time.
On the first page, we like “American Booty” and “Ally McFeal,” but the genre as a whole is funny as hell — c’mon, what’s not to like about “Ball in the Family” or “Battlestar Orgasmica”, to say nothing of “The Boobyguard” or the possibly-unintentional trilogy of “Cumming in America”, “on America”, and “to America”?
Nintendo receives express clue delivery
“Hello, SuicideGirls? Yes, this is Nintendo. Can you make us look like the mouthbreathing idiots we are, please?”
A member at SuicideGirls listed two of his favorite Nintendo games in his profile. Nintendo’s lawyers noticed, and sent a cease and desist letter on the grounds that this infringed on their copyrights and/or trademarks.
What morons. This is, of course, all over the web today, from BoingBoing to Slashdot, so Nintendo looks great.
