The Stuff

No, Fudge Dalek is not the name of my new prog/jam band, but it is a confection made by some folks and posted on Flickr:

I love sugary treats and Daleks are pretty interesting. Today I’m glad there’s an internet.

What is a LOLcat? From Wikipedia:

Lolcats are images combining photographs of animals, most frequently cats, with a humorous and idiosyncratic caption in broken English referred to as Kitty Pidgin[1] or Kitteh. The meme originated in the 4chan imageboards as the Caturday internet phenomenon.[2] The name “lolcat” is a compound word of “lol” and “cat”.[3][4] The phenomenon is also referred to as cat macros.[5] Lolcats are created for photo sharing imageboards and other internet forums. Lolcats are similar to other anthropomorphic animal-based image macros such as the O RLY? owl[6], and the term is often used as a catchall for not only images depicting cats, but also animals, humans, and in some cases even the absence of such creatures.

4Chan was hacked very recently, which reminded me that 4Chan existed, which sent me on a Macrochan image binge, and eventually led to me making a LOLcat…

Here’s the sculpture of Mothman in Point Pleasant, VA. Don’t forget to rent the Richard Gere movie.

One inflatable is too much for my conservative tastes, but nine, wow! I could speculate as to why a person would make this much of an investment, and think it actually looks good. I have great disdain for snowmen in a absence of snow, and orange bears, but the inflatable tree really hurts my brain. They have large evergreens on their lawn — why do they need an artificial, inflatable version? It’s like a breast implant for their yard.

No it isn’t. Actually I don’t know. It may be filled with egg nog.

With this many lights, they’ll be able to see it’s Christmas from outer space.

One friend said that the number 3 stands for the Holy Trinity, but my other friend says it stands for Dale Earnhardt.
