The new Lego Minimizer is even cooler than the old, 'cuz it has Guns and Booze!

I can has lolspeak too!









For those not in the know, a Drider is a Drow who failed the tests of their evil Demon Goddess Lolth, and was cursed to live as a half-elf, half-spider monstrosity. Furthermore, this beautiful creation of mine serves as a perfect rebuke to those fools who claim that lego pieces have gotten "too specialized". 10 years ago, it would have been impossible for me to create such a wondrous vision, as the pieces required did not yet exist. But now! We are truly living in the Golden Age.

The only thing I need to do now is get some color matching done, and find a better face and hairpiece. If I'd been able to afford the Star Wars Sandcrawler set, a Jawa head would be perfect, but I'm not spending 8 bucks to get that one piece used, and the set itself is still too pricey on ebay, alas.

... How long until the mass suicides of forlorn fans, distraught at the horrific knowledge that there will NEVER EVER be another Harry Potter book EVER AGAIN!!!!!!, begin? Potter fans, can I have your stuff when you shuffle off this mortal coil? >:-)

In a webcomic, even! In other news, The Earth is GROWING!, Lawrence Watt-Evens posts novel online, Bush Administration Agrees To Approve Wiccan Pentacle For Veteran Memorials, Humorous Ebay feedback, and Prom-dress wearing teenager chases down mugger.

Colbert has some choice words for those Paprika-snorting Magyars. Elsewhere on the intertubes, Batman's Gonna Get Shot in the Face and Why does Lee Iacocca Hate America?

As I inch further and further into decrepitude and senility, I find myself seriously considering the virtues of sterilization. It seems increasingly unlikely that I'll ever actually get married, leaving the only possibility of reproduction being a drunken tryst, and that would just be plain irresponsible. I have enough relatives that most of my genes have already been passed on, and if I ever _do_ get hitched, there's always adoption.

Anyway, here's linky things: Marvel at The School Prayer Riots, thrill to Bootleg Jack Chick Theater, be amazed that Abstinance-only doesn't work, Be electrified at the Secret Wars Re-enactment Society, goggle your eyes at Transformers Cosplay, and faint with glee while watching Transformers Movie Trailers. Man, if this movie somehow _doesn't_ rule, there'll be hell to pay, by Primus!

Edit: More linky things, this time permanent ones. Read the blogs Pam's House Blend and Pandagon, then look at the pretty pictures in Candi and Home on the Strange.

Here are the updated versions of my Robotech lego projects. Know this, when you look upon their Glory: It is only beginning!

( Look upon my Bricks, ye mighty, and despair! )

Well, that's it for now. Next up shall be the rest of the Invid Mecha, then some Robotech Master Bioroids. Eventually, I suppose I'll do some good guys too...

Firstly, Fiona has linked to me, so I return the favor.

Next, matters scientifical: Darwinian Pickup lines, The rea; story behind Haekel's embryos, Whale Evolution explained, and Scientists visit Creationist "Museum" so you don't have to

Nextly, religious stuff: I've joined the Evil Atheist Conspiracy, to avenge the Murder of Larry Hooper. I may ally myself with The Funkiest Atheist. Also, Mr. Deity makes a disturbing amount of sense.

In the political/social sphere:


What Bush hears, Still MORE republican sex scandals, Porn popups ruin lives,Wingnuts misquote Lincoln, Gay Foster Parents Loss Child, Wingnuts Rejoice, and The Swiftboating of Jesus.

I have to weigh in on the notion that the US should Take in thousands of Iraqi refugees. IMO, it's a VERY BAD IDEA. We really don't want aa bunch of people who have strong and compelling reasons to want revenge on us living within our borders. No doubt, we are obligated to make restitution, but we don't have to do it _here_. Let's just pay France to take them. The translators, though, are a different story. Their lives are in danger because they worked for us, so we sort of owe them. Plus, they're less likely to snap and take a shotgun to the denizens of the local mall.

Finally, humor... Or is it? I hope everyone celebrated Saint Skeletor's Day, The Best Movie Review Site EVER, and Real Life Vs The Internet.

Sometimes I worry that my sheer awesomeness may actually be dangerous, that it might overwhelm my mortal frame, and cause my body to burst like a hyperinflated balloon. I can only hope that when this happens, there are no innocent bystanders around. Only those who _deserve_ immolation...

Why am I so awesome at this specific moment in time? Because I finished my Logan Veritech!

( Read more behind the cut. You know you want to. )

Speaking of Robotech, everyone who's even vaguely interested in anime should go out and watch Robotech: The Shadow Chronicles. Buy a copy, or rent it repeatedly. I wouldn't recommend stealing it, but if you do, leave a note exhorting the victim of your larceny to buy another copy.

I'd be lying if I said it was wholly satisfying; After 20 years of anticipation, the movie could have come with a free stripper and a keg, and it wouldn't _quite_ be enough. But it was still quite good. Though I disagree with _some_ of the plot developments, I suppose it's only natural that the writers changed things around, lest they be accused of ripping off the novel, comic book, and fanfic authors who have gone before. I am very much looking forward to what we'll see if a whole new series gets made. They're planning on doing one, but that can ONLY happen if DVD sales justify the expense. So get buying/renting/stealing, people!

Elsewhere on teh Intarweb:

Weed turns you into a muppet, Yet ANOTHER Gay Evangelist scandal, Another vaccine for the fundies to whine about, Illegal Immigrants blames for resurgence of neo-nazis, and finally, Faux News says Obama would have been pro-slavery. How stupid do they think their audience is, anyway? And how justified are they in that belief?
