Hi Youdopia. I’ve been busy, but I came across this hilarious video from John Cleese, in which he explains the God gene. Oh, it’s delightful to see such erudite humor in this fart filled world. Good stuff. I hope you’re all doing well. All things are good here. Mom’s on the roof. I think that this clip is some of the Funniest Shit Ever.

Craziest Shit Ever: The World’s Oldest (known) Lolcat Photograph.
more animals
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.

John Paul Jones Talks About Led Zeppelin Tour With/Without Robert Plant
Youdopians, I love John Paul Jones! He had a Q&A at a guitar clinic recently, and this is what he had to say about a tour with Jimmy Page, and Jason Bonham. Robert Plant? Probably not. I would love to see the boys play again. They hit it out of the park at the 02 reunion. We’ll see. They may not call it Led Zeppelin, but I’d love to see it, whoever they have singing.

Funny Cat Video: An Engineer’s Guide To Cats
I awoke this morning to find this in my inbox. A friend of mine had the foresight to determine that I would enjoy this. She was correct, youdopians. It is a very humorous video about kitties. They’re not lolcats, but actual motion pictures with a beginning, middle, and end. It’s very clever, and has nothing to do with Obama, or the Apocalypse.

Coolest Shit Ever: Very Early Christian Pottery Found Inscribed With “By Christ The Magician”
This cup, dear Youdopians, dates rom the Second Century BCE, to the First Century AD. It is one of the Coolest Things Ever and here’s why. It was found during a marine archaeology dig in Alexandria, Egypt. The cup, although they call it a bowl, so let’s go with “bowl” … even though it’s a cup… bears the following inscription:
The full engraving on the bowl reads, “DIA CHRSTOU O GOISTAIS,” which has been interpreted by the excavation team to mean either, “by Christ the magician” or, “the magician by Christ.”
Simon says, some may have thought Christ a Magus. Christianity is not a monolith, and it’s roots branch very widely indeed. Kind of thought you might like this. The article from which I ginked the image and the quote is linked to the image, and can also be found here.

Sex Flow Chart and A Little Life Update
I wish I had a cleaner copy of this image, youdopians. From what I can read, it’s pretty funny. I totally forgot from where I found this. If anyone knows, please let me know. I want to credit the site, and the original image maker (good luck, I know).
Busy as a beaver still. Money starting to happen. Opportunities piling up. I have business cards for the first time in a very long while. My god. My native ability to write in SEO is making the blogs I created a few months ago start to pay off.
We’ve been using a project management program that organizes one’s emails, contacts, and tasks. I hate it. It works wonderfully. I hate it. I am much more efficient with it. I hate it. I’ve wrestling with the issue of selling ad space, limited ad space, on a site that has half a million page views daily, to a member who can only spend fifty bucks. The original model was $25 per 50,000 pageviews. Sounds great. Is great. 50,000 page views lasts you a few hours. Then people would feel cheated, even when told in giant flaming letters ten galaxies high, ‘We get 400-500,000 page views daily”. So… we upped the minimum to $50 and changed to a pay per click model. That works better, but now the new minimum ($50) only lasts a day. I input an ad last night at 9:30pm, and it was gone ten hours later. 125 clicks, gone. It’s a good thing, but… one is faced with the conundrum. How to pay the thousands a month to run a site with 36,000 members (since January 08), and 400 new ones a day… a site based on community, and openness, and not being another corporate bullshit site.
I love it. I love the site. I love the people. I love the scene. I love kinky things. Kinky people tend to be more interesting. I love working from home. I even love working 18 hours a day, for the success of my family and our business. It’s nice.
The site is worth a good 20,000 a month in ad revenue, if we whored it out (did the usual industry bit, with header and footer ads, and shop pages)….
so far so good. Power to the people. I want to own a home, and a car. Angel/Devil. I’ve been choosing virtue more lately… probably in rebellion of the industry in which I am thriving. I am thriving. It’s all coming together.
Things have a groove now, a rhythm. The site for which I do the marketing (along with Kiki) is starting to come together. It’s a wonderful life. It’s nice to earn money from the sweat of my brow. I’m going to watch television. I realized last night, that I hadn’t watched a show in weeks. I had lost my chrono sync w/ society, like that French guy they put in the cave for a year.
night night.

Yesterday’s Search Terms: The Craziest Shit Ever.
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!

Best Suicide Note Ever (Excerpt)
I can’t wait to see what kind of hits I get with a title like that. I’ll probably have to do another post about the interesting search terms people use to reach youdopia. I also have a hard on for the Squidbillies , so you’ll probably be getting a bunch of phoned in YouTube clips from said show.
Now on to the suicide note. It’s from Futurama, the new movie, The Beast With A Billion Backs. The note is written by a character whose disillusionment with the injustice of life leads him to take his own life. Pretty heavy for a cartoon, but hey, postmodern is as postmodern does. Anyhoo, the excerpt from the suicide note:
I have resolved to kill myself. In lieu of flowers, please beat yourselves in the face with rusty chains. Your friend, Bender.”
The whole reason for this post, aside from Bender’s note tickling me, as seeing if I can take screenshots from my media player ( I use Media Player Classic w/ the K-Lite Codec Pack… plays everything). Turns out I can. Prepare for more screenshots.
