Filed under: thatIShowyouDIEbymypipette, bitch! "From Doctor Who season 6 episode 7, ‘When a Good Man Goes to War’ She’s using the pipette as a weapon. I’d like to think that she would forcibly eject the tip into her attacker’s eye.” Ok, I was emailed about these shirts.

At first I was like, “I will not be your shill !!!!’ However, this one made me laugh because I like both pie (apple) and pets (I have 3, endless fur). You can win this, or something.

Newspaper Blackout. Brazilian ad agency uses blackout poetry to sell soap and deodorant The agency Salve recently did a campaign focused entirely around blackout poetry for their client, Natura. Here’s a bad Google translation of the messaging: Tododia has hidden poetry. At each step of the routine. In every sentence, every gesture.

Just be there to feel the pulsing possibilities. Probably no coincidence that I’m headed to Brazil this weekend to talk about what’s stealing like an artist and what’s stealing like an ad agency. —Austin A blackout by David Rogers, a student at VCFA David very kindly let me know about a fun glitch using the TurboScan iPhone app: “Sometimes the transformation from Blackout to ScanOut gives the poem a subtle emphasis that’s transformative.” Funny enough, I already had the same app on my phone, so I started using the effect on some of my own poems. —Austin This tumblr is now four years old! Awesome people hanging out together.

There it is, the picture that started it all—Old Brown from Squirrel Nutkin. Look how little shit he’s willing to put up with right now! None. None of the shit. I started this blog as an excuse to lie in bed hungover rather than stand outside hungover, and it’s only appropriate that it ends the same way. Yes, this is the 500th—and last—Hungover Owls post. I am reasonably satisfied that I have had my say on the subject, if not 499 more says than anybody should. And that’s all on you. If any one of these guys helped you deal with the physical and emotional fallout from that last theme party in any way, please consider dropping five bucks into the owl charity of your choice.

Nick Clegg Looking Sad. Nick Clegg was visited by an angel who showed him what things would be like if he’d never been born, and nothing was worse, and the streets were filled with eternal summer sunshine and the peals of children’s laughter, and Nick Clegg offered to kill himself but the angel said that wasn’t going to help, because the damage has already been done if you think about it, hasn’t it Nick? Hasn’t it? Nick? Nick Clegg tried to pay you in exact change, but you pointed out that one of his coins was Canadian, and he had no other way to pay, so you made him put his one item back on the shelf. Nick Clegg asked if you’d ever experienced true love, and you said “yes, of course”, and then there was a pause, and you said “why, haven’t you?” Nick Clegg thought he’d bought still water, but it was really sparkling water, and he wasted an hour shaking it to get all of the bubbles out.

Uncomfortable Moments With Putin. (Edited because this blog continues to attract many visitors every day): This was the last post from Uncomfortable Moments With Putin. It was a blast, but when it started Putin was still a figure of fun on the sidelines with vaguely sinister ambitions. Since his return to the presidency, that isn’t really the case any more. Find out more here: No one dared point out that the target range lay behind them. Exactly one minute and 28 seconds later, young Bogdan’s failure to secure a new competitive record time had secured him a long night in the company of the ministerial security detail and a pair of boltcutters. As the wreath was laid, everyone nearby pretended not to hear as Putin outlined to the Russian president the exact methods with which he planned to take his job from him. Seconds became minutes… minutes became hours.

Silence fell across the dojo as the president swooped. Academic Tim Gunn. Neuroscientist Ryan Gosling. Thanks bebbos for this tip!
