Oh, Honey... The Knitted Companion Cube

This might very well be the best possible gift I could ever receive. For those of you who may not have played Valve's Portal, I won't waste time explaining what this is. Suffice it to say, it is awesome.
















Thankfully, k's knitting chops are getting all the more formidable.

Pleeeeeease, baby? I'll buy the materials! (I'm being so sincere right now...)

Click the image for the original instructions, posted by Wren on her Blogger blog. Thanks, Wren, for sharing your work with other Portal lovers out there!

When typos get it right...

We've all seen unintentionally ironic typos, where a presumably innocent error results in a sentence that's more honest than the writer would ever have intended. Yahoo has one of these in their news feed this morning, sourcing a Reuters/Hollywood Reporter piece about how the Writers Guild strike might affect the Golden Globes awards telecast. To clarify the quote below, Dick Clark Productions pruduces and owns a portion of that awards show.

[Dick Clark Prods] also noted that it was not a member of the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television and Producers, the studios' bargaining ram.

(That's my emphasis there at the end.)

That's a pro-labor typo if I've ever seen one.

If your warrior of love is too small, you may lose this war

"Warrior of Love?" Isn't that the new reality show on Fox?

No, wait.

Wasn't that what Captain Planet called his sidekicks?

Um um, no...

Oh! Maybe you mean this Warrior?



Heh. Steamy.

Spam Subject Line of the Moment, Episode 2

You deserve to not be ignored by women!

See there, isn't that nice? Not all spam is bad. Sometimes, it can offer valuable affirmations.

Not that I'm ignored by women. Not at all. I'm engaged, so I have a woman who has to pay attention to me, contractually.

1-900-NERD-GIRL

This video made me laugh. One, because it's a pretty savvy parody of the low budget 1-900 commercials that used to come on during USA's Up All Night. Two, because it makes a D&D "saving throw" joke. That's exactly something I'd like, as K. would say. Enjoy.
