Morning Muppetry: Mahna Mahna

By Giania • Aug 23rd, 2007 • Category: Audio, Fnord, Science!, media

Hot: Caution: Exposure to monkey head shaped children’s sleeping bag/backpack combos while on Molly and K will cause one to question whether people are humans or muppets. It’s a strange sight to behold. Friends don’t let friends handle monkey sleeping bags while crazy on the MDMA. As “Bob” as my witness, I’ll never bring another [...]



Sesame Street: Keeping it Real

By Giania • Aug 22nd, 2007 • Category: Art, Audio, Memes, media

Hot: To this very day, I maintain that this is one of the most awesome songs I have ever heard. I like it well past its usefulness as a learning aid. As learning aids go, this has to be one of the catchiest things anyone ever came up with. Besides, who doesn’t freaking LOVE that [...]



Haluz 2: Just as Gorgeous as the First

By Giania • Aug 22nd, 2007 • Category: Art, Internet Toys, media

Hot: Jay Is Games tipped me off yesterday that Haluz 2 is out. If you enjoy “casual gaming” at all, and you don’t have JIG bookmarked, then shame on you. But I digress. Haluz and Haluz 2 are two gorgeous point-and-click puzzle solving games. (See also: Samarost and its sequel, Samarost 2 from the fine [...]



Homemade Plasma. Delicious. Dangerous. Totally Sweet.

By Giania • Aug 21st, 2007 • Category: Fnord, Guides, Science!, media

Hot: This has to be one of the best treatments I’ve seen thus far on the “grape plasma” experiment. It’s short, sweet, and neatly edited. Our host is also kind enough to remind us that this is not at all a safe experiment.



Email Interview with Something Explosive

By Giania • Aug 17th, 2007 • Category: Audio, Philosophy, media

Hot: Ah the internet, it empowers so many to do so much. Internet adventurer Matt McInerney, currently well known for his participation in the ZombieAttack Twitter story project & new website Gleamd, and musical compatriot, Casey Gibson, have taken to the tubes and produced a musical project they call Something Explosive. Here’s a brief overview [...]



One Television You Shouldn’t Throw Away

By Giania • Jul 25th, 2007 • Category: Audio, media

Hot: Clocking in at 11 minutes, this alternate take of the title track from the rerelease of Televison’s 1977 album Marquee Moon is a sweeping soundscape of what translates to near pure bliss for this listener. “Eleven minutes?!” one may be inclined to exclaim, “Why that’s much longer than 3! and far longer than the [...]



Mudkips: Always Needs More

By Giania • Jul 19th, 2007 • Category: Anime, Fnord, Memes, media

Hot: Just for you, gentle readers, just for you.



Elective Vaginal Surgery: Another Low-Blow to Sexuality

By Giania • Jul 9th, 2007 • Category: Articles of Interest, Fnord, Nature, Science!, media

Hot: Pointed out by Ectomo: From the blog Next Nature comes an article discussing Laser Vaginal Rejuvenation surgery and Designer Laser Vaginoplasty. (Caution: If you’re at work, there’s a big picture of a woman’s pubic area at the top of this article. if you turn it sideways it looks like a frowny mouth with a [...]



Reponse Noise: Lou Reed – “Wild Side”

By Giania • Jul 8th, 2007 • Category: Articles of Interest, Audio, media

Hot: While Ectomo’s litmus test of child worthiness is good for the younger set, it is often good to present your little parasite with further challenges as they grow to ensure that they weren’t just pulling one over on you before. (Children are known to be wily, despite an inate tendency towards stupidity.) If your [...]



Ancient World Wonders: Animals Rise From the Sea

By Giania • Jul 5th, 2007 • Category: Film, Nature, Science!, media

Hot: This playlist has all but one part (part 7) of the BBC’s Walking With Monsters: Life Before Dinosaurs. It’s one of those fascinating historical exploration films with gorgeous CG animals and environments. I’m watching it right now on the Discovery channel (commercials and all! GADS!), and I came in at the part with the [...]
