Bacon weaving

December 17th, 2008

I think I’m getting a reputation, because people are sending me stupid foodstuffs now. Still, it’s a blog post that practically writes itself, and I am nothing if not lazy, so here goes.

Chris brought another mention of chicken fried bacon (here called country fried bacon, but it looks the same to me) to my attention. The article itself is just more of the same lunacy I’ve already covered, but the comments are recommended:

Please don’t turn bacon into a meme. By their very nature, memes are fads and come and go, blow up and become passe. I swear to God, if any fucking hipster looks at me sideways for enjoying bacon in 2010, I will lose it.

Amen, Tower18!

However, Rupert upped the ante with this act of lunacy from holytaco.net (which, it seems, was all over Digg for days before I saw it; I guess I’m just not hip enough).  Please do click through to the original article, because whoever ate this monstrosity deserves the hits; but these (blatantly stolen) pictures should encourage you:

You see, in bacon weaving — as with so much in life — the line between madness and genius is “fill with cheese”.

Funny mission description in EVE Online

September 10th, 2008


This really made me laugh. Not just for the puerile (but still funny!) “go pick my bums” but also the really enthusiastic response, “One desperate workforce, coming up!”.

Humanity is doomed

September 9th, 2008

Joystiq brings terrible news: Gordon Freeman has been spotted near the Large Hadron Collidor. Look!

LHC

So, the person present at the fictional Resonance Cascade is now present at the only thing mankind has ever made that might cause a real Resonance Cascade. Life is imitating art! Run to the hills! We’re all doomed!

Superb code snippet from DailyWTF

September 6th, 2008

DailyWTF is usually pretty reliably entertaining, but this CodeSOD article particularly tickled me with:

I’m sure a lot of you would have mocked Josh’s collegue for having a constant named COMMA. Ha! Who’s laughing now?
