Darth Vader, Moron

Go ahead and scream "It's old!" because it probably is, but it's still mildly amusing, even if they didn't quite get the "NOOOOOOOO!" exactly right:



Somewhat related (and also old).

The Dark Knight, only 20-30 years younger.

Here is the trailer for The Dark Knight, as re-enacted by children.

God, I hate children.

Help Lileks Create a Word

Lileks- Hey, it has a wiki page. And I’m cited. I still think there should be a name for that: you google something and find yourself cited as a source.

My suggestion is Self-Factualization.  It isn't very pithy.  Doubtless, y'all can come up with something better.

A thought on Elizabeth Edwards...

I'm listening to Dennis Miller's show right now, and he thinks that Elizabeth Edwards is being so forgiving toward John Edwards because she doesn't want her children to hate their father should her cancer take her away from them. 

I don't know if that's true or not, but I'd like to think it is.

Is Obama's vacation in Hawaii a cover?

There are a number of ways that campaigns can keep people guessing about who their vice presidential pick will be.  For example, printing signs for several possible vice presidents.  However, it's a little too expensive to paint up a bunch of planes (links in the original):

What campaigns can't do is re-paint their plane with new decals several times over. Which is how I figured out Edwards was the pick at 2 a.m. the night before the announcement.

So I would keep my eyes on Obama's campaign plane, which is in Honolulu Airport, last we heard. Obama's vacation would be the right time to put up decals saying Obama-Kaine or Obama-Bayh or whoever, and roll it out along with the new running mate.

Is O-Force One getting a little makeover while the Obamessiah frolics on the beach?

If any of you Morons are in Honolulu, keep an eye out.

Presented without context

And don't forget that your penis is very clever, and shrinks upwards and presses itself close up against the body for warmth and safety when you're anxious or cold - as in that changing room.

You will probably get a more cheering view of your equipment if you try looking at yourself, when you're warm and relaxed at home, in a full-length mirror, which is how others see you.

Actually, others just about always see me—even when I'm warm and relaxed at home—fully clothed, but thanks for the, um, tip.

When life imitates video games

Since my gaming skills topped out around Super Mario 3 (with a Game Genie, I might add), I didn't notice the parallels between the current situation in Russia and Georgia and video games.  But, apparently, there are some (link in the original):

(I'm not kidding in the headline about the odd similarity to Tom Clancy's original Ghost Recon game, which had U.S. special forces secretly going into... T'bilisi, Georgia to deal with Russian invasion forces backed by ultra-nationalist hardliners. The "future date" of the 2001 game was... August 2008.)

Well, I'd like to say more, but I have to go put on a raccoon suit and try to fly.

Isaac Hayes, dead at 65

Damn you, Xenu!

Is it just me, or are famous people dropping like flies lately?  No good.

Two great tastes that taste great together?

Is this WIN? I mean, it includes bacon, which is a guaranteed WIN ingredient, but I'm just not sure:

It's hard to tell exactly where the dream of candy-coated breakfast meats started, but for [candy maker Joseph Marini III], the inspiration was a trip with some ski buddies a while back.

"One guy came up with, 'Who doesn't love bacon? Who doesn't love chocolate? Let's marry them together.'"

So Marini gave it a shot and after some trial and error — crispness is key, he says, noting that chewy bacon plus chocolate is undelicious — he came up with a product.

"It was kind of a joke to begin with," he says. "We brought it down to the boardwalk and put it in a case just to see if people would react, and they reacted."

Take boardwalk visitor Nathan Lopez, who on a recent foggy morning had a quizzical look on his face as he began eating a sample at Marini's at the Beach. But he finished with a smile.

"Interesting combination," was the verdict. "I didn't think it would be very good but once I tried it; it was good."

To be honest, I don't have much of a sweet tooth, and I really don't think bacon needs much help in the flavor department, but I'd be willing to try it. After all, it sounds terribly unhealthy, so how bad could it be?

Sarah Palin: Officially Christian Enough^tm; Update: Liebs?

This is according to an evangelical leader that I'd never heard of before this election cycle.  Apparently he speaks for me and I'm supposed to follow him or something?  Not sure:

CBSNews.com: Who's on the list of people mentioned for VP that you think would most excite Southern Baptists and other members of the conservative faith community?

Richard Land: Probably Governor Palin of Alaska, because she's a person of strong faith. She just had her fifth child, a Downs Syndrome child. And there's a wonderful quote that she gave about her baby, and the fact that she would never, ever consider having an abortion just because her child had Downs Syndrome. She's strongly pro-life.

She's a virtual lifetime member of the National Rifle Association. She would ring so many bells. And I just think it would help with independents because she's a woman. She's a reform Governor. I think that, from what I hear, that would be the choice that would probably ring the most bells, along with Mike Huckabee, of course, who's a Southern Baptist.

It was as if the voices of millions of Huckabee supporters suddenly cried out in terror and were suddenly silenced. 


I wonder how he'll feel when he finds out that she's not terrified of teh gheys. 

Update: Sen. Joe Lieberman is on the short list?  Wow.  In underestimated how much McCain didn't want my vote this year.  Would this be the same Sen. Lieberman who just dropped off $100,000 at the DSCC?

Wow. $2.09 Billion raised this election cycle

Imagine what the total could have been if it weren't for Chimpy McHitlerburton and his RethugliKKKan minions ruining the economy after the prosperity of the Clinton years.

Legal Crap: "Harvey Birdman, Attorney at Law" Edition

AdultSwim.com posted an episode of "Harvey Birdman, Attorney at Law" on their website with commentary from members of their Standards and Practices team. 

Imagine, being (I think?) a lawyer and spending your day finding out if  "Ol' Dirty Carny" is an actual, real life product.

Booze news

Hey, Morons, are you getting bored with Val-U-Rite vodka? Are you willing to shell out extra cash for a product that's tangentially related to someone who was famous a decade ago? And have you always wondered what kind of booze Dr. Dre drinks? If you answered yes to those three highly contrived questions, I have good news for you:

Hip-hop mogul Dr. Dre's cognac and vodka brands will hit liquor stores in the next 60 days, according to celebrity booze marketer Drinks America Holdings Ltd.

The products are the fruits of a joint venture between Wilton, Conn.-based Drinks America and Dr. Dre's Interscope Geffen A&M Records label, a unit of Universal Music.

Drinks America is the same company that already brought us "The World's Finest Super Premium Vodka," so I guess Dre's stuff is necessarily going to be a step down in quality. Oops. I might be a racist for saying that.

Anyway, the marketing for the hooch is going to be tied in with the release of Dre's new album, which is called "Detox," apparently. Get it? He's releasing his own line of liquor, and the album is called "Detox." Ironic and classy.

In case you're interested...

Rep. Jeb Hensarling, the chair of the conservative Republican Study Committee, will be on Sean Hannity's radio show today to talk about the GOP House Revolt.

The RSC is one of those rare, invaluable, groups of Republicans on the Hill who are actually conservatives.

DNC doing some oppo on Sarah Palin?

Adam Brickley thinks so, and he has a nifty StatCounter screencap to (kinda) back it up.

Update: Well, on closer inspection, it looks as though the DNCer was there a full 0 seconds.  Heh.
