Analytics is Not a Perfect Science or How to Tie A Shemagh

By Giania • Apr 7th, 2008 • Category: Internet Tools

Hot: Until I started looking at the Analog 6.0 stat reports for the site, I had no idea what a shemagh was. Now I know it’s a it’s a style of head wrap which originated in the Middle East. If you really want to know how, ActionGear.com has a pretty handy tutorial (with pictures!). However, [...]



Holiday-Shmoliday: Vintage V-Day Cards

By Giania • Feb 7th, 2008 • Category: Art

Hot: Poking about as I am wont to do, I discovered this Flickr account chock full of vintage Valentine’s Day cards. User Valart2008 has procured (at the time of this writing) 58 vintage card designs from the good old days. You know, when children were all extraordinarily hydrocepalic and wore thicker eyeliner and more rouge [...]



Monday Night Madness: Sexual Harass Mints

By Giania • Nov 27th, 2007 • Category: Fnord

Hot: Okay so technically it’s Tuesday morning at this point. What are you going to do about it though? Yeah, that’s what I thought. We’ll just jump right into it with this for preamble: Inappropriately hilarious video. Rough Cut Comedy – Sexual Harass-Mints! on FunnyOrDie.com



From the What The Fuck Files: The “Shenis”

By Giania • Oct 12th, 2007 • Category: Fnord, Science!

Hot: If I may be so bold as to quote Animaniacs… “It’s time for another good idea, bad idea” Good idea: A device that allows folks with female sex organs to pee standing up. Bad idea: Fashioning said device to look something akin to a giant golden dildo. It’s certainly a device that’s an invention [...]



Halloween Indecision 2007

By Giania • Sep 25th, 2007 • Category: Memes

Hot: Gentle Readers, I am torn. Every year I say I am going to do something so unbelievably wicked awesome for halloween. Every year I flake out. This year should be different. I have 2 ideas in mind. One involves a lot of money and would need to be done soon, one involves a lot [...]



Sparks – This Town Ain’t Big Enough For The Both Of Us

By Giania • Sep 5th, 2007 • Category: Audio

Hot: The video basically speaks for itself. After having listened to the song, I have to say I had not prepared myself for the experience the video had to offer. Although shot on ’74 on a disco program, it foreshadows so much 80′s pomp and obscurity. And either the lead singer is the most gender [...]



Dream Log: Ectobee & Past and Future Selves

By Giania • Sep 4th, 2007 • Category: Dream Log

Hot: The dream log to follow really isn’t all that suprising to me. I’ve been re-reading The Dark Tower series (Stephen King, I’m on The Waste Lands) and quite frankly I’m probably crazy. The majority is unfortunately already disappearing into the fog of the waking world. A lot of what I do remember is NSFW [...]



Local Alarmists: New Haven “Flour” Menace

By Giania • Aug 27th, 2007 • Category: Articles of Interest, Fnord

Hot: Just when you thought the day’s news couldn’t get any more ridiculous, New Haven, Connecticut comes through with the whopper of the day. A couple members of the Hash House Harriers – “A drinking club with a running problem” – were charged with first-degree breach of peace, which is a felony. Their crime? Siblings [...]



As Seen At PAX: He’s a Peach, Alright!

By Giania • Aug 27th, 2007 • Category: Anime, Fnord

Hot: A good friend of mine just came back from this year’s PAX, and being the brilliant photographer that he is, captured a lot of really great images from the conference. There’s more to come, but this one really stuck out. This fine young con goer had this Peach costume custom made just for him. [...]



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 [...]
