You, my fair youdopians, are bearing witness to what may be the birth of a meme. This image is purported (by those purporters who pretend to purport) to be the world’s first lolcat. It’s from 1905, and was found in a Seattle antique store. Over 100 years of lols. Yes, Virginia, you can haz cheeseburger. This is some of the craziest shit ever.
I don’t know why, Youdopians. I don’t know why. This is the craziest shit ever. This is how googles sees me? I was supposed to be a writer. Now I’m a repository of nipples and suicides.
I recently opened my power bill, as people do, and I was a tad surprised to find a flyer for the upcoming Sniper Conference. It’s put on by the police, and the tag line is:
PUBLIC EVENT
Test Your Skill
Train in similar conditions
police snipers train under.
Do you have what it takes?
I grew up in New Hampshire. I’m all about Live Free Or Die, and certainly gun folk are among the safest folk with their guns. I just think it’s very odd to receive unsolicited advertisement for a SNIPER conference in with my utility bill. I’m used to handy tips about saving water and reducing electricity around the home. Maybe a coupon for insulation or weatherstripping in the winter. How odd. North Carolina is certainly different, Youdopians.
The Bleak, Dorky, Clever Lego Photography Of Mike Stimpson
I must be getting old, Youdopians. The younger Mojozoso would definitely think this lego photo recreation of the execution of a Viet Cong prisoner (the famous Eddie Adams photo) was sick and twisted, and kinda funny. I t generally don’t really w00t that much over lego stuff, or anyone who fucks with a Barbie and calls it art. Sorry. It’s all good, I just don’t dig it. However, the good folks at Wired put together an anthology of lego photo recreations, like the one above, and I wanted to share it with you. The photographer (lego dude) is Mike Stimpson.
In the words of Theodoric of York, ” I, for one, am baffled.”(This just in. I have the quote right, but the skit wrong. Here is the transcript to the skit I was thinking of) I only have a couple dozen hits a day on Youdopia, so it’s not like I feel like I have to even wear pants when I’m around…. but… the search terms that people use to get to Youdopia are pretty … unique. Take a gander. What horrible fetish-laden search string brought you here, dear reader? For shame!
Score one for clean living, I guess. James Patrick Page (all hail!) was given an Honorary Doctorate (in Hermetic Studies… just kidding) by the University Of Surrey. Why? Because he is all things to all people, that’s why, apostate! So there you go kids. Study the occult, do drugs, bang teenage girls, and all this can be yours. Follow the narrow path of Dr. Jimmy. An honorary Ph.D. Goddamn.
I can’t even really pretend to understand this story, but it does strike me as being the dog’s bollocks. The photo and the video below are of a super short burst of light. How short? Well, short enough to photograph the entire wave form. You can see the beginning, middle, and end of the fucker. That’s neato to me. This is courtesy of the fastest ever flashgun, which fires a burst of light lasting only 80 billionths of a second. Craziness. What’s it mean? Dunno.
You know something, Youdopia? I saw this beauty of a story on (one of my) guilty pleasure, Egotastic. I like celebrity nipple slips. There. Happy? Anyhoo, beehive train wreck Amy Winehouse got videoed while at a “crack den”. She sings a racist song. And… A picture of her nipples, as promised. I didn’t say they were hot.
