Das Hotten-Trotten.

This one comes to us by way of a marvellous Ghetto Queen... no, not that kind of ghetto. It made my night, and I hope it makes yours too.

What do you get the Fuhrer who has everything, and wants it handmade?

Yeah. Also, because it's worth it:





I gave you positive feedback, big daddy.

Big Daddy's Belated B-day.

Sorry I didn't send a card, Bossman. I tried to call to say Yom Ha-shoah but...

Oh, wait? You were updating your cell phone message?

Well, that explains it.

Yom Ha-shoah anyway. :)

Stranger Than Fiction

But then there are some shows that go completely beyond the pale of enjoyability, until they become nothing more than overwritten collections of tropes impossible to watch without groaning.

I think the worst offender here is the History Channel and all their programs on the so-called "World War II".

Let's start with the bad guys. Battalions of stormtroopers dressed in all black, check. Secret police, check. Determination to brutally kill everyone who doesn't look like them, check. Leader with a tiny villain mustache and a tendency to go into apopleptic rage when he doesn't get his way, check. All this from a country that was ordinary, believable, and dare I say it sometimes even sympathetic in previous seasons.

I wouldn't even mind the lack of originality if they weren't so heavy-handed about it. Apparently we're supposed to believe that in the middle of the war the Germans attacked their allies the Russians, starting an unwinnable conflict on two fronts, just to show how sneaky and untrustworthy they could be?

Yeah, especially when they ran the EXACT SAME PLOT in their Napoleon Arc a few seasons ago. And then they expect us to root for the French this season.

Srsly, folx.

As the kids say, "lol whut"

Today's lulz are brought to you by the letters T&A, and by Hizzonna Warren Ellis, as someone apparently thought that this book would amuse him enough to send it to him:





My only regret? That it wasn't me. This is clearly, like Mien Kamph, a misunderstood work of heartbreaking genius, and anyone should be teary at the thought of the two magnificent tomes sharing pride of place on the family bookshelf, perhaps also snuggled next to this here. Nu?

Yeah, that's what I thought. I should start doing book reviews for the lulz.

Also, happy new year, mien kinder.

XD

U can tell by teh pixelz....

From just about everywhere:



Mmm, tastes like clone tool. Now this right here? This is some LULZ. One way or the other. I guess they couldn't figure out cropping, but they had all this clone tool there. And a touch of blur. Either way-- I mean, whether there's an innocent explanation or not-- That's some funny shit right thar.
