Ah. I see. Yes. Now it all makes sense. heh, heh, yes, quite a knee slapper. Zany and madcap. Not quite my cup of tea but the young people seem to like it. I’d like to go into programme planning but unfortunately, I have a degree.

Guess I’m just not a visual person.

Lileks musings: “The front of the store was piled with anti-Bush calendars – Bushisms, various countdown page-a-day numbers. I don’t remember a big heaping display of those at the end of the Clinton era. But I’m sure they were there.”

Yep. Remember how everyone longed for the end of Clinton’s second term? There were calendars doing a countdown. People were totally concerned about possible blow jobs STILL occurring in the Oval Office. It completely overwhelmed the repercussions from changing from a Democratic liberal presidency to a constipated, ideologically fixated, reality-ignoring presidency that deemed it intelligent to invade Iraq.

Yep, we hates ourselves some Clintons when we contemplate the current foreign policy of the U.S.

Not.

I have never, ever, ever, never, not-even-once been able to make head or tails out of any Gavin’s “fixing the internet” pictorial spectacular. I have no idea at all what the hell this one is about, what the “fix” is, or what the result is. Needless to say, teh funny in this case is way over my head.

He moved the crappy 2d tear over by a few pixels, which ironically did improve the quality of the image a great deal. He spent an extra five seconds vs. the original 25 seconds that went into that image and improved it by 100%.

Fardels Ursine companion.

It’s a lot harder when he includes unnecessary Saab references.

Then it’s impenetrable….

And not come out of the pupil: WTF were they thinking? The one with the multi-tears and open mouth is even better.

OK, I’m going to out myself here.

I even read the comments hoping I can spot in the in the comments what I’ve missed in the pictures and they STILL make no sense to me. It is like I’m looking at a Picasso and y’all are standing around explaining analytic cubism and I’m trying to look all smart and nodding my head like I have a clue.

But I don’t. No idea what the HELL Gavin, our own Picasso (except for being a mysoginist prick which Pablo was and Gavin isn’t) has done.

I should have known it... Yes, there are webpages devoted to Block-structure* p0rn. *Apparently a certain Danish toy company has a reputation for defending the integrity of its brand-name.

Pinko?

Zero-ass-trians?

Sounds a little like religious intolerance to me.

But then I’m just bitter….

Once you compress the porn enough, it gets all pixelated and you can just pretend they’re all Lego block people.
Midget porn is so vanilla these days.

Um Gavin, can you really fix the internet? I have really one main request, such a minor thing, make Malkin go bye-bye. Or teach me how to do photoshop better myself so I can at least make it look that way.

Yeah, but then you gotta fill up the folder with midget porn and that takes a while.

Lots of really small jpegs.
