This Is What Happens When A Zebra Tries To Change Its Stripes

Continuing my fascination with animals of unusual pigmentation: a zebra of a different color.

Hey Nerd, Don't Be An Asshole!

Through some lucky quirk of fate, my contact with fellow geeks and nerds, even on the Internet, has almost always been positive and generally pleasant.  I've never had the misfortune to much come in contact with the nerd-rage, entitled fan cesspool that gathers in some quarters.  Heck, most of my nerd-friends have been girls!  But I am aware (especially via the rantings of Dorian), and saddened by, this contingent, even if I know they're only one facet of the larger community, and also that every group has assholes.  So this article meets with my most enthusiastic and hearty approval.  Nerds shouldn't be close-minded jerks!  What a concept!

The 2012 Mayan Apocalypse...

...does not exist.  Again, some more.

Ancient Aliens

My typical reaction to watching fifteen minutes (my upper limit) of Ancient Aliens is a random series of jaw-droppings, eyebrow-raisings, and eye-poppings.  Thankfully, someone else has managed to pretty much sum it up, in coherent (and hilarious) form.

Pay Attention, Straight Boys!

The G-spot is real, and you have to pay attention to it! 

No One Tell Ahab!

In keeping with Bourgeois Nerd's long fascination with unusually white animals, here is a white orca!

I Just Can't Get Them Out Of My Head

I am a martyr to earworms.  Sundays have the Game of Thrones theme (best theme ever?  y/y?); Monday has RuPaul's songs du season (this season "Glamazon" and "The Beginning"); the rest of the week can be anything from Kate Bush to wrestler YouTube channel theme songs.  I can't get no relief!

Porn With STYLE

Copy-editing porn: someone's gotta do it!

Our new fine feathered dinosaur friend.

Youthful Indiscretions

What books read by the younger you do you look back on and cringe at? 

I have to say, though there are many books that I now recognize as absolutely terrible (I'm looking at you, Valdemar books and Anita Blake), there are none I'm actually ashamed of having read and enjoyed.  One should never be ashamed of things that brought one joy, even if they no longer do, even if you now violently disagree with their premises, or your taste has totally changed.  They were there when you needed them, and even if you've outgrown them, you should be grateful for what they gave you at the time.

Smut?! Smut?!

I'll have you know this is art, sir/madam!  Fine art, even!  I mean, that ass is unequivocally art, and it is fiiiiiiine.
