Least Compelling Spam

Here’s a picture of my Yahoo inbox. Note the last message is sent from “Virus,” which made me laugh.

Best Walker Clip Ever

My brother sent me this, and I almost fell over laughing.

Failure To Urinate

I am sad to report that Rosemary Hunter, who would have made an awesome super powered crime-fighter, failed the tests administered by the James Randi Educational Foundation. If you so desire, you can view the test on Youtube individually, or as an auto-advancing playlist.

For what it’s worth, Ms. Hunter seems like a very nice woman, and if there was any paranormal power I’d like to have seen verified, that was it.

Phantom of the Paradise

So, does this bring back memories for anyone?

The End of the World As We Know It

I’m not sure what to say, except that this website heralds the apocalypse. Start stocking your pantries now. Get ready for the roving bands of mutants. Society is going to fall.

My Super Power

You may not believe this, but I think Paranormal Urination would be an awesome super power. Imagine that you’re called to stop a bank robbery in progress. The villain, resplendent in striking color-coordinated spandex, would sneer at you and say, "Do you think you can stop me, pipsqueak?" Suddenly, he’d start peeing himself. That would distract him long enough for you to knock him over, take his super-weapon, and save the day.

If this Rosemary Hunter person turns out to be genuine, she should become a crime fighter.

I Will Survive

This is totally awesome. I must learn more about these guys.

This site seems like a good place to start.

Clark Kent

So, here’s a question that struck me this morning. If the only thing that keeps people from discovering that Clark Kent is Superman is the pair of glasses he wears, then what happens when Clark Kent goes swimming?

Freaks and Side Shows

I’ve always been fascinated with carnival side shows and circus freaks. There’s something in them which has always struck me as being metaphorical for the human condition. I once started writing an epic poem about a side show (it was going to be called "Professor Ramsey’s Misfit Circus"), but never finished it. The idea was that this side show would be populated by freaks who were physically deformed in ways that matched their psychological limitations. It’s not just that I’m fascinated by freaks and side shows, but I have a certain interest in all things unusual. By exploring that darker side of ourselves, we can find symbols for the lighter parts of our existence.Yes, the original freak shows were largely exploitation, but that doesn’t stop them from being exceptionally fascinating, now does it?

So, what brings this to mind, you ask? This site, of course.
