Elliot Bay Books has a great used section, and today I got an unexpected, totally cool gift-with-purchase. Continue reading »

Same Bat time, same Bat Pussy

This is from Bat Pussy, an honest-to-god porn film from 1973.¹

I truly hope I never encounter an attempted rapist in action, but if I do, I will beat him to within an inch of his life with my Hippity Hop.

I heart Dolphins.

How do they do that? Silly rabbit. Dolphins are angels in disguise.¹

Little cancers everywhere

One of the reasons I haven’t been blogging as much lately bout “feminist” issues is because they depress me more than usual right now. ¹

The news is chock-full every day of misogynist happenings the world over. But sometimes, it’s the small things — the little cancers that fester in the wrinkles of a culture - that catch you off guard and have you reaching for a woobie and your fucket bucket.

For me, it started last autumn with this gem…

…which was followed up a few days later with this even more telling item:

At least this one has a head, and it even talks:

Her “bad mood” sayings include “Ow,” “Help, Help!” You know, because rape is hilarious. ²

These misogyny-in-humor’s clothing items must be all the rage, because a scant week later, this one crawled out of the same slime pit:

So forgive me if, in my weakened state, this commercial bothers me more than usual.

Subway, every time I pass you on the street, I’ll remember your message: that women’s sense of self-worth should be in direct proportion to her proportions. And I will laugh.

You know, because self-loathing is hilarious.

Und ve put de chickee in de pot

This is one of the reasons I don’t go to male strip shows. To me, they all look like this guy: muppets with pelvic thrust.¹

Mort! mort! mort!

1. These videos are more or less SFW, unless your employer is offended, like me, by ugly kitchen decor. [↩]

They started it, officer, I swear.

I’m going down to South Park, gonna have myself a time.

It’s a sign you’ve chosen the right job when your new employer encourages you to screw around on the internet on company time.

This is my new cubicle name plate: me singing at the top of my lungs with my iPod,¹ as is my habit. At home anyway. My employer is cool, but not THAT cool.

If you were a South Park character, what would YOU look like?

Zombie betches have brains, too, shetbag!

For Halloween this year¹, I bought Kevin The Evil Dead on DVD. He’s seen it and its sequels a hundred times but now he can sigh over Bruce Campbell in the privacy of his own home.

So we happened to watch ED last night - nothing like winding down at the end of a hard work week with a little creamed-corn-dyed-green zombie barf.

Then coincidentally, whilst making my usual Saturday blog rounds this morning, I found this brainy gem²:

Betchin’.

On the Tube this is billed as a parody, but I beg to differ: only bad videos are parodied. Stunning works of art such as Shoes inspire homage.

And in other, distantly-related news, Dumbledore is gay.
