Mr. Grabovoi, I don't care HOW good your system is. I am NOT getting my kidneys reversed! Once was enough!

weird web, kookery, superstition, chaos magick for genuine dummies 

Somebody on Reddit asked me what was the weirdest piece of fringe culture I've ever seen in my decades of "kook" studies.

This might not quite be the winner, but I think Grabovoi numbers are pretty far up there. It's basically just folk magic with random strings of numbers, promoted by a Russian mystic with a VERY weird past...

Fuck it. Uplift the quokkas to sapience and consign the entire primate order to hell, just in case the lemurs are fucked up as we are. -_-

@zx3 No, not really.

For me it's always Ken Nordine. *weak smile* *hug*

mood (±) 

I mean, at least I'm not having temper flare-ups or feeling suicidal when I start thinking about the last couple years.

That's actually a huge and undeniable improvement. I've finally learned how to spray my feelings down with liquid nitrogen and just go a little numb instead of im-/exploding.

It's still fuckin' freezing in here.

mood (-) 

Big mess of conflicting emotions this week. Being quiet on purpose. Will probably need someone to chat with this week. Not a crisis or anything, just trying to figure out how to do the right thing in a situation I'm terrified to touch at all.

Otherwise okay. Busy with work and move, head still grumpy from cold. Looking forward to NOLA, having very mixed feelings about Seattle.

Right now, running mostly on inertia, caffeine, a desire not to fuck my boss over, and knowing Jordan Peele's Us debuts Friday. Could stand to sleep for about a month. A good cry or a lengthy and gruesome penitential beating wouldn't hurt either.

Here, have a little zeerust, courtesy of Ray Bradbury, Stan Freberg, and of course prunes. TOMORROW'S PRUNES.

Wow, that dog napping toot really took off. I'm glad the rest of you are as concerned about this development as we cats are... 🙀​

"speciespol" 

The Redditor who posted this said it was supposed to brighten our days, but I'm scared shitless the canids got this far ahead of us on the napping techtree. You're running around barking all damn day, where do you dog people find time to learn those sick moves?!?

*gets that TIGER look*

Make that 1-2 days. And we'll throw in some fire and frogs free of charge. Mmmight wanna rub a little lamb's blood (or in your case, red liquid latex) over your door jamb tonight.

*cracks her murder mittens like a mob enforcer*

@JulieSqveakaroo *beams hatred at your former employers; expect sores and locusts within 7-10 days* =>___<= *hugs tight*

re: snark; tumbleweeds o_o 

@Austin_Dern I feel like this explains quite a few things: "Jim Davis, who created Garfield, was Ryan's assistant (from 1969 to 1978) while developing another strip, Gnorm Gnat."

snark; tumbleweeds o_o 

@Austin_Dern I... I... it took me much longer than expected to figure out if what I was seeing on their (rather Web 0.1) homepage was a brilliant satire of a really dull and hilariously stereotypical fictional long-running comic... or just a really dull comic.

I mean, I genuinely read through six or seven strips and still was leaning towards "clever satire," a la the "Castle Funnies" from Strong Bad 181 ( youtube.com/watch?v=1Apf122RI_ ). I think a big part of it was the weirdly archaic and inconsistent typography. It looks like it was typeset by a Subgenius with a hangover, for a Kiwanis bowling league newsletter...

Boy, that sure is a comic strip all right. Got little guys in it and words and everything. *charitable smile*

LRB: I'm _dating_ this crazy beautiful witch lady. <3 <3 <3

Current : this entire collection of Brother Theodore on Late Night With David Letterman. Every single word, including the part about free appliances. No, I'm not sure what that means either. You'll just have to watch him and explain it to me. :)

re: moving; stuff distribution; legos 

@dodec Here, I'll refer you over to @anthracite for details. It looks like it's a LEGO 41055 Disney Princess Cinderella's Romantic Castle.

moving; stuff distribution; legos 

Hey, anybody want a Lego castle set for rather cheap? We've got one we never got around to assembling and it's not worth the trouble to take with us.
