I don’t know if we’re using area code 256 yet, but if we are, whoever has 256 -963-2229 has a very entertaining way of keeping track of that phone number. hehe
From the inimitable TDJ, we have this wonderful news item: Performers Whip Easter Bunny At Church Play.
This whole Passion Play revival is getting a little too surreal.

Because I didn’t want to cause Kitiara to swoon, I had to read Visgoth’s essay titled visgoth: Modern women have it easy. Wonderful Excerpt:
Woke up on bathroom floor. Lamented my cruel fate of having platinum blond hair to go with my fine figure. Surely men will look upon me with lust now. I can’t even venture out of the house to get my hair dyed a dark and unremarkable color, because an unmarried ruffian might say “Hello,” or – it gives me chills to even think it – might even go so far as to smile at me suggestively. *shudder* Back to dusting.
That’s some funny shit there…

Some people worship cock. I am guilty of that. But cock is really Godlike, as is the vagina, depending on my mood. I am bi-spiritual.
The Onion | Muscleman Put In Charge Of World’s Fifth-Largest Economy
Political observers are struggling to understand exactly how, on Oct. 7, Arnold Schwarzenegger, an Austrian-born, movie-star muscleman with no political experience, was elected to govern the state of California, the world’s fifth-largest economic region.
“There were, in fact, figures from the pornography industry on the ballot who were better equipped to lead than the muscleman,” Gergen added. “A major adult-magazine publisher who could claim not only leadership and business experience, but also a working knowledge of First Amendment law, was in the running. The fact that the pornographer received only 15,454 votes is confusing, in light of the muscleman’s victory.”
Research conducted by equally confused political analysts failed to produce any evidence to suggest that the bodybuilder has ever held political office. The muscleman has not presided over any unions, boards, or committees, nor has he displayed any public-service ambition of any kind.
The governor-elect’s policies are said to be centrist-conservative, although it’s difficult to confirm this, as the beefy actor has offered only a few words regarding his plans for California’s future.

Quislibet has posted a Latin translation of one of the classics of West Coast rap. Here’s a quick excerpt:
magnae clunes mihi placent, nec possum de hac re mentiri.

sub quo manifestus globus, inflammare animos
virtute praestare ut velitis, notantes bracas eius

From an article lampooning idiots who fear Harry Potter:
[T]here is a section of the Bible that very clearly tells readers not to shape-change. … So if while your child is reading Harry Potter they are suddenly replaced by a werewolf dressed in your child’s clothes, you’re right to be upset.
There’s plenty more hilarity in the article, including the fact that since Hitler liked lightning bolts, lightning is evil. Like the fru-its of the devil.
