PigAlien: "Aren't these just schmoos?"
Kirth Gerson: "Is this a Hannah-Barbara production?"
No, Shmoo's aren't Barbapapas. Not real Shmoos, that is. Easy to see the confusion, because Hanna-Barbera sucks!... [more]

StickyCarpet: "I see a, perhaps somewhat distant, familial relationship to Mr. Blobby. This Mr. Blobby may be a closer relative."
I think Mr. Blobby #1 is more closely related to Mr. Bill.
Mr. Blobby #2 is either Calvert DeForest (Larry "Bud" Melman) or StrongSad.
All of them likely descended from the same common ancestor.... [more]

Go Superlambanana, go.
Veruca Salt: Hey, Daddy, I want a Superlambanana. I want you to get me a Superlambanana right away.
Mr. Salt: All right, Veruca, all right. I'll get you one before the day is out.
Veruca Salt: I want a Superlambanana now!
Violet Beauregarde: Can it, you nit!

Green Jelly
As of 2008, the band has had over 233 official members . . . On February 19, 2008, music news website Blabbermouth.net announced that Green Jellÿ was reuniting and that a possible U.S. tour was in the works.
Polyphonic Spree, find shelter.

You are beautiful.
no1hatchling: "How does "You are beautiful" evoke anything but warm fuzzy feelings? Not to be a hater, but surely there is a better catchphrase to achieve this goal. What about "You have the power to change"?"
MetaFilter: You are beautiful.

grapefruitmoon: "thanks unmake for proving I'm not insane."
You are sane.*

Kind of like Corel Painter, but without the crashing
I'm still waiting for the chip that I can implant into my visual cortex that'll draw stuff for me. Because these hands, here? They're like flippers when it comes to drawing.
thanks, though! I'm sure I'll have fun messing around with it and my used wacom.

Urinal Bitchie - Hello
Oh god, that was a great video. I had the sound muted, though, so I don't know what the song sounds like, but the video: hi-fuckin-larious!

Actually, this was awesome. I was in tears, laughing by the end. Thanks for the find... something old totally made new.

Mailbox! OPEN Mailbox!! ✌

In the previous shot, "mailbox" was "please". So what is "open mailbox" supposed to mean?
Mailbox, like Shalom or Aloha, can tie up many concepts succinctly. So in the first case, it means "please," pointing more to, "send it to me" and in the next, it's meant as, "awesome show, great job," meaning, "received!" OPEN... [more]

That's either meaningful or stupid. Based on the rest of the video, I'm guessing the latter.
It's meaningful, on so many Joycean-like levels.

Music - You Will Definitely Miss Music
Nice find, Navelgazer. It's a good mashup of storytelling, standup, and unobtrusive background music.

As it is, I just kinda feel like, why have a live band? Why have music at all?
Why not? I kinda liked that effect, of just this dude sitting on his sofa, telling me stories or ranting about whatnot, with the stereo on. This strikes me as much more stand-up (sit-down?) comedy or monologue, and not strictly a musical venture.
For another example, Mitch Hedberg's whole first album of standup, Strategic Grill... [more]

Digital Vaults
Fun, but short on content. Still, fun! In five years, this will be one of those sites I will get lost in for hours. Then someone will be able to click on a picture of me, lost in the site. Then they will join me, as we remain distracted, accumulating more fellow distracteds, andthe dishes pile up in the sink, the gerbils go unfed, etc.
And that's how the librarians are planning to take over America.
