Yes, I think any Star Wars jokes instantly qualify for the “nerd alert!” tag.




Anyone following the McCain campaign has heard mention of his time in a Vietnam POW camp once or twice. So many times that Jared Rea mused, “You’d almost think this is Mario Bros the way McCain is hammering away on that POW block.” And by “mused” I mean created a YouTube video:

By the way, for anyone in the Steel City, the cut-off quote about Pittsburgh comes from a KDKA interview in which McCain might have been a little disingenuous about some specifics.


Half flow chart, half Venn diagram: Things to say during sex. For instance, Bad » Genuine » (not your partner’s name) » (not your partner’s gender). I wish I wasn’t so familiar with the right side of the chart.


The Superest: Who is the superest hero of them all?

What is this? The Superest is a continually running game of My Team, Your Team. The rules are simple:

Player 1 draws a character with a power. Player 2 then draws a character whose power cancels the power of that previous character. Repeat.


STOP THE CHAIRS! STOP THE CHAIRS!


Baby’s First Internet – It’s not your job to right a wrong // just mark it FAIL and move along.


So basically someone pointed out that every couple letters on the front cover of Super Mario Galaxy has an orange star underneath it… and if you break it down line by line it reads:

U R

Improv Everywhere does it again. Video of the mission and crowd reactions on YouTube.

For our latest mission, we filled a subway car with identical twins, creating a human mirror.

The full version of Pixar’s animated short “Presto” that precedes Wall-E in theaters. Great little short about a rabbit dealing with his pet magician because he’s not being properly fed.

WINSTON: Don’t tell the Party, but sex is way better than totalitarianism.

EVERYONE: Surprise! We’re the Party.

WINSTON: Oh, rats.


SPOILER ALERTS! Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull: The Abridged Script:

CATE takes the skull and places it on a THRONE. It then turns into an ACTUAL ALIEN and makes her head explode. The ALIENS pile into a GIANT UFO and fly off into SPACE.

HARRISON FORD

Wow. Considering that the first movie revolved around a magical box made by God that melts faces when opened, it’s really astonishing that this movie managed to be so incredibly stupid by comparison.

JOHN HURT

I can’t believe that the crystal skull wanted you to return it to the city just so that aliens could have blown your head up. Those aliens are total assholes.

SHIA LABEOUF

Seriously, what kind of jerks would intentionally trick people into thinking they were going to get something awesome, but then give them something so awful it makes their brains melt instead?

GEORGE LUCAS AND STEVEN SPIELBERG

Rich jerks! Bwa-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha!

Did I mention this movie was terrible?


Pulp Shakespeare:

ACT I SCENE 2. A road, morning. Enter JULES and VINCENT, murderers.

V: And know’st thou what the French name cottage pie?
J: Say they not cottage pie, in their own tongue?
V: But nay, their tongues, for speech and taste alike
Are strange to ours, with their own history:
Gaul knoweth not a cottage from a house.
J: What say they then, pray?
V: Hachis Parmentier.
J: Hachis Parmentier! What name they cream?
V: Cream is but cream, only they say la crème.
J: What do they name black pudding?
V: I know not;
I visited no inn it could be bought.

More here and here.

My fellow abbot whom I’m soon to break.
My drainage hath consumed your whole milkshake.
