It's probably old, I don't care.

I don't know if he's the coolest guy in the world, but I've always felt cool when I was doing that stuff.

GFW gets off a good one

That's the image the Cookeville Times (in CA) used to illustrate a short blurb on a gun show.
I have to admit, Gun Fearing Wussy gets off a good one. That made me laugh.

I'm going to use that to illustrate all gun-related posts not involving my arsenal.
I'm not sure which I like better, the 5 flashlights or the Swiss Army knife.

Steampunk Professor Xavier Wheelchair!

That's right, Steampunk Professor Xavier Wheelchair!



And it even dispenses cocktails! I'm afraid that if it got any fucking cooler, it would rip a hole in the universe, destroying us all.

(Blatantly ripped off from Rosetta in the comments here.)

Most awesome use of steampunk ever?

A steampunk toilet. What could be cooler? It's steampunk and its a toilet with a laser aiming device and a cup holder for my coffee. I admit that the flush action seems a little weak but that can be bumped up to a "Ka Woosh" factor of 12 or so. (Ka Woosh is the SI unit of measurement for toliet flush capacity, like the Richter scale it is logarithmic. a Ka Woosh factor (KaW) of 1 will flush small non floating rabbit turds. A KaW of 10 will suck down Rosie O'Donnell)

Starbucks just got cool(er?).

I'm something of a coffee addict, although I've never been a huge fan of Starbucks - their beans just taste a little burned to me.  Not to say that I'm not a fairly regular patron of Starbucks - I am, 'cause they're just so damn convenient - but I don't love their coffee.

I think I'm about to become a more frequent patron of Starbucks in support of this awesomeness:

Coffee chain Starbucks Corp. is sticking to its policy of letting customers carry guns where it's legal and said it does not want to be put in the middle of a larger gun-control debate.

The company's statement, issued Wednesday, stems from recent campaign by some gun owners, who have walked into Starbucks and other businesses to test state laws that allow gun owners to carry weapons openly in public places. Gun control advocates have protested.

[...]

Now, gun control advocates are protesting the policy. The Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence, launched a petition drive demanding that the company "offer espresso shots, not gunshots" and declare its coffeehouses "gun-free zones." And Wednesday, that group delivered 28,000 signatures to the coffee giant's headquarters in Seattle.

[...]

Businesses can choose to ban guns from their premises. And Starbucks said Wednesday that it complies with local laws in the 43 states that have open-carry weapon laws.

"Were we to adopt a policy different from local laws allowing open carry, we would be forced to require our partners to ask law abiding customers to leave our stores, putting our partners in an unfair and potentially unsafe position," the company said in its statement.

It said security measures are in place for any "threatening situation" that might occur in stores.

Starbucks asked both gun enthusiasts and gun-control advocates "to refrain from putting Starbucks or our partners into the middle of this divisive issue."

Pardon the rather bad pun, but way to stick to your guns, Starbucks!  Fuckin' right.

This totally makes up for not having sweets

I'm so glad I didn't give up schadenfreude for Lent, because then I couldn't roll around in the tasty deliciousness that is John Edwards getting indicted by a federal grand jury.

h/t to @gabrielmalor, who points out, "Hey, they've been spot-on about him so far!"  If they don't get their Pulitzer for this, there's no justice.

Win Britannia! (for once)

So, a Royal Marine veteran of tours in Afghanistan and Kosovo who has a tat of the insignia of his former unit on his arm, apparently shocked—SHOCKED!—the sensibilities of an airport security worker (details about whom aren't mentioned, I might add...hmmmmm) at Heathrow, who demanded that he cover it up.

"I explained it was my old regiment's insignia," he said. "She said it made no difference. They had a policy that tattoos of offensive weapons must not be on show."

He complained to an airport security official, and he actually won. No, really. There might be hope for the Limeys yet.

What's even better than Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter?

How about that Tim Burton is producing doing the movie?

I can't quite see Depp as Lincoln but I'm sure they'll make it work.

(No, Depp's not cast yet but if Burton directs you know that's who it'll be)

Steampunk. Is there nothing it can't do?

I found this article on the rise of steampunk to be interesting, particularly since I'm wearing a piece of steampunk jewelry at work today. It's a necklace consisting of a reworked transistor radio vacuum tube. Everyone is staring at it and one person actually knew what it was.

I'm also adopting this as my official life philosophy:

Gleehilism. I like that. It sums up the Funniest End of Civilization quite nicely. Plus this way I'll have a response when the BFF meanly calls me a cockeyed optimist. Am skary Princess of Death. Grr.

Oh and speaking of steampunk, if you haven't read Soulless run and do so now.  It's this utterly hilarious smashup of Bronte, steampunk, Victorian mores and urban fantasy.  I am a wee bit bitter that I didn't write it.  Tiny bit.

We hit the big time!

No, not being included in the top 100 conservative blogs or anything like that.  Nope.  Not that.

WE HAVE LACE WIG SPAM!  I REPEAT LACE WIG SPAM HAS BEEN ACHIEVED!

It brings a tear to the eye, it does.

Now we just need better trolls.  Not that I'm encouraging you mouthbreathers to sockpuppet.  Because I'm not.  That would be hilarious wrong.

Maybe it's because I'm drunk

But this made me laugh until I fell over


If you have not seen the sheer awesomeness of the Nic Cage version of The Wicker Man, this really tells you everything you need to know.
