went to bed with the news that james brown had been hospitalized with pnuemonia and awoke to the sad news that james brown died very early this december 25th 2006 at around 1:45am. james brown made such an awesome and overwhelming contribution to music. i was lucky enough to see him perform at the circle star theater over 12 years ago. safe to say that one of the best albums ever put together is james brown’s funky people. the hardest working man in show business. and easily the most sampled man in music (funky drummer). rest in peace, james brown. thank you for all that you gave. boingboing has a good memorial post, as does sfgate and the bbc.

struggling with what to get for the star wars sex fetish geek in your circle of jedi friends? this unique take on restoring order to the galaxy should do it. use the force & stuff stockings in style with this step-by-step DIY post on how to make a laser sword dildo sex toy. brilliant! makes a handy flashlight & conversation starter for when the lights go out too.
if you hate bees and playground swingsets, then the anti-bee antics of the man seen in these photos posted on the something awful forums is the person to call. see, some bees decided to swarm & set up shop in a nearby swingset. and that doesn’t sit well with bee-hating human neighbors. so the neighbors devise fool-proof way to de-bee playground, getting rid of both the bees and the swingset swings. kaboom! scroll through the pics and enjoy. possible nomination for the darwin awards? yes.
from the twisted visionary comedy geniuses of wonder showzen comes an equally twisted cartoon that pushes the envelope funny using racial stereotypes and 80’s cartoon nostalgia. plus it’s just dumb too. can’t beat that. please watch the 2 minute short called he-bro! wonder showzen, what do i love you so?
it’s friday and it’s the holidays. gonna be lots of food on the table. maybe some carrots. which could mean there’ll be a lot of left-over carrots. not much you can do with left-over carrots … either eat them or throw them out. i highly recommend throwing them out. they can get really, really disgusting after a while. and speaking of gross leftover carrots … um, what the fuck happened to carrot top? creepy. scary. yikes. and, now more than ever, still not funny. should’ve posted this for halloween. images of the horror that is carrot top 2.0 borrowed from the endless stream of disturbing content that is totallycrap.com. must go burn out eyes now.
many thanks for all the emails. i have missed you too. i have. so many things sent in to post - and all very very much appreciated. blogging and all things requiring any extra time behind a computer have taken a big fat back seat to more analog pursuits, priorities, projects, and enjoyable things. as much as i miss zoning out on the internet, i also really don’t miss it. it’s just like television, only with repetitive stress injury and (thankfully) waay more porn. in the meantime during my time away, please accept this gift of comedy gold. it’s lewis black & his carnegie hall performance. full album. about 100 megabytes in a .zip archive. won’t be up for long. do it now! i’ll be back when free time permits.
