How to insult Alan Bedenko

Alan Bedenko is apparently amused at the low-quality of insults directed his way by the local libertarian whom he enjoys taunting, so it seems to me that what’s needed are better insults. Here are some trial-balloons for Alan’s perusal. Let’s see if these hit the mark!

:: Alan Bedenko wouldn’t know a good pizza if it bit him on the arse.

:: Alan Benenko is too provincial and needs to see more of the world than his subdivision in Clarence.

:: Alan Bedenko’s dream car is a Ford Pinto.

:: Alan Bedenko would know more if he’d quit drooling on the pin-ups of Sarah Palin and read a bit.

Anybody else?

Sunday Burst of Weirdness

Oddities abound!

:: You know what’s always good for amusement? Chinese translated to English!

:: SDB points this out:

This looks like a blast (heh), although I have to call BS on the “house of bricks”, since it’s not a structure: it’s just a wall, with no mortar at all between the bricks. You could walk up to that and knock it over with a stick. But still, the vortex cannon looks fun. I want one!

:: This is “weird” in the sense of “I would never have known about this if not for the Interweb”. There’s a place in India that is the wettest place on Earth, where the natives cross the local waterways via bridges — made from the living roots of trees. Wow. Some stunning photography here.

More next week!

A test post….

I may have figured out what was causing this blog to not be terribly functional in Internet Explorer, but if any readers could weigh in as to whether that’s still the case, I’d certainly be appreciative. Thanks, folks!

(What I saw when using IE was that the blog would load, but as soon as I would try scrolling down the front page, I’d just get “Out of Memory at Line 32” errors that would prevent the blog from scrolling anywhere, so much as past the masthead image. The moral of the story is, of course, that everybody should use Firefox, but I can’t wait for that to happen, right?)

AGGHHH

Can anyone with more tech cred than I offer a hypothesis as to why this blog creates “Out of Memory” errors in Internet Explorer? I’ve updated both Java and Flash to the latest versions, and the errors still come. What’s going on? This doesn’t affect me at home at all since I use Firefox, but still, I’d like IE users to be able to use this blog. What gives? Do I need to once and for all update to a new Blogger template?

From the Ashes

So I was wandering the magazine aisle at work the other day, and I saw a new issue of Realms of Fantasy Magazine. This struck me as odd, because RoF ceased publication a few months ago. So what gives?

Well, a new publisher has picked up Realms. By “new publisher”, it actually turns out to be an old publisher working under a new name: Warren Lapine’s old DNA Publications company is apparently now Tir Na Nog Press. Lapine’s former company ran into trouble some years back, and I remember reading that there was some bad blood left behind in the wake of DNA’s failure, but here’s hoping that that’s all behind them. Anyway, I’m glad to see Realms is sticking around.

Pailin’ in comparison

If there’s a stupider person in American public life than Sarah Palin, I don’t want to know about it. Of course, I’ll bet there is a stupider person out there, because there’s always someone stupider. But boy howdy, is that woman just plain stupid. She’s a complete, blithering idiot. Yeah, Sarah — Barack Obama’s death panels are going to slate your little baby for an early visit from the Angel of Death.

What a complete buffoon. Thanks for putting her up to the national microphone, John McCain. You’re a great guy.

Something for Thursday

Gerald Finzi was a twentieth century English composer who wrote mostly meditative, pastoral works in the tradition of Ralph Vaughan Williams. Finzi’s output was small, but full of vital warmth. Here is his Eclogue for Piano and Strings.

Three screens of awesome!

I popped over to the FSM message boards just to see what was going on, and someone posted this slice of nostalgia:

How cool is that! I assume that the Charlie Brown movie is Race For Your Life, Charlie Brown, which I see was released less than two weeks after Star Wars in 1977. I’ve never seen that one, but still — that’s a pretty impressive slate at the theater, isn’t it?

Make it stop.

Oh my God…the “Birthers” are so insane that Ann Coulter has called for them to shut up? We’ve managed to find a group on the right that is so far out there in Cuckoo-land that Ann F***ing Coulter thinks they’re too loony to encourage?

Wow. That is some serious, serious crazy.
