Victoria Caswell deserves better

Victoria Caswell makes a great sewing kit, which makes the design and general interest blog rounds to end up on Boing Boing, where the comments tear it a new one.

To sum up the Boingers loving embrace this wondrous thing:

It is both incomplete and it has too much stuff in it. It's too big and the pockets are sewn wrong. It evokes both a history of anti-GLBT sentiment and the murderous tendencies of a fictional serial killer. It is just like a WWII sewing kit, and clearly she didn't do enough research. It can therefore only be appreciated as irony or non utility art.

Honestly I don't know why I read the bottom half of the internet. Sometimes I comfort myself thinking that all the comments I read are written by automated bots. An army of comment bots acting like "methed up, blindfolded rednecks mauling each other with hunting knives." Either that, or deal with the knowledge that the people walking around every day, voting, raising children, working and living all around us are the same fucks that actually post to the internet.

What is this stain on my jacket? Gravy? When was the last time I had...gravy? It's...crazy.

Every single time.

Thanks for capturing the experience, Socially Awkward Penguin.

Community Season 2 rap by DJ Steve Porter

Season 2 of Community is as about as perfect as television comedy can get. Here is a remix rap by DJ Steve Porter to further bring both noise and funk.

Walking Away

Here is another great supercut of films showing people who just keep on walking.

Cutlery Grand Unification

All of these cutlery chimeras exist, to varying degrees of success. The best known hybrid, the spork, has a history dating back to 1874. It became known to me when I was a kid, and I puzzled over them in the Kentucky Fried Chicken utensil and seasoning packets. I do believe this was the perfect tool for eating all three of the varied consistency salads, as well as flaying fried meat from the bone.

The spife's history is less well known, and is filled with kiwis.

The knork is a goofy way of saying "pastry fork"  as they are ultimately the same thing.

The splayd dates to the 1940's but really is taking things too far. Honestly.

Bonus clip! Fictionalized quasi-steampunk history of the invention of the knork from Clone High:


I believe the first post of the image "Grand Unification of Cutlery" is from [the ragbag]. Respect.

11 Doctor Who characters mashed up with Peanuts

I really hope an animated version of this is made by the elves who work the internet.

Women Falling down

Something I've noticed before, and I'm glad to have it confirmed: Women fall down a lot in romantic comedies. I guess subtle indications of vulnerability or flaws in character are too easy to portray.

Improv in Calgary

Purple Impro Depot

Looking for a fun time in Calgary? Why not check out some live improv comedy at the "Impro Depot."

Its a great little space, but due to the building zoneing regulations, they can't put up signs or really advertise. Support some local arts, and laugh yourself silly at the same time.

Friday night performances are a series of improv games that are really entertaining. I haven't had a chance to go to a Saturday show yet, but they promise different formats such as directed improv, improv musicals, and Harold narratives.


Shows are Friday and Saturday nights at 8:00.
Tickets are 2 for $10.
2405 MacLeod Trail SW 

Look for the big purple building.

Trace Elements

To get ready for the local Science Fair, I watch this NSFW song by Hard N' Phirm.

The Doctor & Star Wars

This is a very well done little mashup of the Star Wars and Doctor Who universes. There is a growing trend to include The Doctor in every franchise,  which is fine by me. This video was done by Kelvington, who asserts some form of copyright at the end of the video, though it is unclear exactly what unique element is left in the work..
