Bell and Whistle Contest

Turn up your volume and play the following video. You may not pause it. You may not look away. You may not turn down the volume. You may not switch windows. You may blink no more than once per ten seconds.

If you are not comatose, Cthulhu-level insane, or dead from a brain aneurysm by the time the video ends, then you will have won. But was it all worth it? Was it?

Probably not.

Recipe for fun. Get a cheap cell phone. Make this the ring tone. "Lose" your cell phone in a crowded, public, and somewhat quiet place (such as a church or library), with the volume set as high as possible. Call it repeatedly.

I have an Important Announcement!

Thank you, Smart-Looking Guy! And now we return you to—

I wasn't done.

What's that?

 I said I wasn't done. I still have an Important Announcement!

So THAT'S What They're Saying!

Put down the coffee.

♫Catching up is hard to do.♫

First up, Cosplay.

First up in the Cosplay category is the costume The Murloc wore to Wondercon (motto: unlike other conventions, we are affordable and available!)

For this costume, The Murloc custom-made her own corset. Of this, I approve.

Recognize the character? Imaginary bag of marshmallows if you do.

No? Here, I'll post a picture of the actual character.

Still nothing?

Fertile Women are Sexier

And that's a fact.

"Why women who are not on hormonal contraceptives are objectively far more attractive than those who are."

It's Super Effective!

Mixing memes, here.

The Day After

Some short fiction for the season. Emphasis on short.

"Tombs were opened, and the bodies of many saints who had fallen asleep were raised. And coming forth from their tombs after his resurrection, they entered the holy city and appeared to many." (Matthew 27:52-53)
