Let Colbert be Colbert and Possibly President
Stephen Colbert's running for president in his home state as a "favorite son" and on the Democrat and Republican ticket.
Exactly how far the mock conservative pundit planned to stretch his impression of a presidential candidate wasn't clear. Colbert rarely breaks character on camera, including at his memorable speech at the White House Correspondents' Association Dinner last year.The Comedy Central host has often mobilized his fans ("Colbert Nation"), encouraging them to vote to have a Hungarian bridge named after him, for example, or to vandalize Web site Wikipedia.com with his version of "truthiness" and "wikiality."
[...]
In a guest column for Maureen Dowd in Sunday's New York Times, Colbert wrote: "I am not ready to announce yet — even though it's clear that the voters are desperate for a white, male, middle-aged, Jesus-trumpeting alternative."
I can't figure if the man is brilliant in that Rain Man kind of way, or if he's insane in that Easy Rider Dennis Hopper kind of way.
(via pretty much every damn where)
Update: A row of videos on the matter and ONTD declares that Colbert is their official favorite son.

The Celebrated Miracles of Patron Saint Neil Gaiman
One of the better April Fool's of 2007 that I've seen thus far.
"First, we have a report of a signing at DreamHaven Books, where by mistake his publisher had only shipped one 20 book carton of Anansi Boys, but into which the Venerable Gaiman had reached his hand again and again to pull out book after book, until all 500 patrons had received their copies, all of which were first printings and entirely free of shipping damage."Bertoli noted that the second miracle involved a girl in Los Angeles who had been cured of her terminal cancer after a copy of Volume 9 of The Collected Sandman (The Kindly Ones) had been laid against her brow. Finally, Bertoli said he had documented proof that Gaiman had single-handedly fed all of Paraguay in 1987.
"Truly the Holy Ghost works though the Venerable Gaiman's hands."

Concord Grape Juice + Super Soaker = Velociraptor Doom
In case you have not noticed I have an insatiable love of dinosaurs. If I had my way, we'd all worship the mighty Supersaurus and its bloodlust for vegetation.
XKCD.COM has irrational velociraptor fear. And Daniel Snyder, PhD has seen fit to provide a homemade dromeosaurid deterrant for our fair hero XKCD.COM
Thus, I recommend you carry around a loaded SuperSoaker filled with Concord grape juice. Fresh-squeezed would be ideal, but from concentrate should be effective as well. This will not only have the theoretical asset of protecting you from Velociraptor, it will have the pragmatic asset of protecting you from thirst.
Dr. Daniel, you will pay dearly for usurping our dinosaur masters.

Russian Fishermen Catch and Eat "Alien" Fish...
Turns out to be only an Atlantic Guitarfish.
Village residents from the Rostov region of Russia caught a weird creature two weeks ago after a strong storm in the Sea of Azov. The shark-looking creature was producing strange squeaky sounds. The fishermen originally believed that they had caught an alien and decided to film the monster with the help of a cell phone camera. The footage clearly shows the creatures’ head, body and long tail. The bizarre catch was weighing almost 100 kilograms, the Komsomolskaya Pravda reports.
However, ufologists and scientists were greatly disappointed when they found out that the fishermen had eaten the monster. They said that they were not scared of the creature so they decided to use it as food. One of the men said that it was the most delicious dish he had ever eaten.
Both theories amused me greatly.

Allowing us an intimate look into the dazzling life of these rockstars in their natural habitats (chiefly hotel rooms, vans, and diners), Horvitz' photos garnered world wide (web) acclaim and remained permanently etched into the grey matter of all who saw them...for better or for worse.
So of course you're fixing for more! And Horvitz hears your pleas, which is why he's put together Xiu Xiu Tour Book #4, the latest installment in his series of handmade picture books documenting the exploits of Xiu Xiu on the open road.

Brian Atene Returns to YouTube and (Over)Acts a Little...Just for You
All the crap I just wrote has been striken and hidden beneath the jump(along with the original now viral audition vid). I'm thinking this guy is the real Brian Atene. I don't know why. Call it a hunch.
And what do you know...today is the first video he's dropped under his YouTube name "juilliardropout."
I come in on the tail end of a viral internet phenomenom, and I skip all the waiting.
Nice.
Least this guy seems to have a sense of humor. He's also using his newfound notoriety to help the Christopher Reeve Foundation.
Here's the real Brian Atene. He's alive. He's not fat. He's still Over-the-Top and if you liked his cheesy bits here's more of them. Atene Beat fans are logging onto christopherreeve.org and scooping-up those groovey Superman dogtags. Show support. Go forward! Get tagged and enjoy the unlikely life and madness of Brian Atene.
Kudos to you, real Atene. Many kudos to you.
Sweet fucking jesus, this is what I get for not reading Boingboing. I miss out on priceless ACTING talent. I heard about this on last Wednesday's Loveline thank you very much.
What's fucking scarier is 23 years later, Brian Atene came back to do a sequel.
What's slightly funnier is a noble body set the 1983 audition tape to Danny Elfman.
A name search and a wiki post later, I read that this guy claims to be the real Atene. And this guy looks more like the original than the heavyset dude.

Stephen Colbert is Coming to Colbert County*
Sweet. Maybe this is my chance to become Stephen's new black friend.
A Groonk can dream.
He said the crew wants the museum's grand opening to be portrayed as a big deal, possibly even including a local high school band and cheerleaders.
"They are interested in spotlighting the whole town," Shoemaker said
I hear Colbert will not be there but damnit, I will be recognized...somehow.
* For those unfamiliar with Alabama geography. There lies within this "beautiful" state's borders a county named Colbert(hard 'T' ending). Stephen Colbert(no 'T' ending) plans to make use of it in a show being taped on Oct. 4th.

Nobody's Watching is all Over the Damn Place
Look.
Over there!
You see that?
Yeah... that! it's those Nobody's Watching guys. You remember them, right?
They were all over the damn Emmy's and I didn't even watch the Emmy's. But I saw them there.
Isn't that weird?
Nobody's Watching that new show "Til Death" could have easily been me on any given night watching some trite shit that everyone else laughs their ass off at and I simply don't get why they think it's funny...I mean who are those Hollywood guys to tell me what "is" and "is not" funny, I'll tell you this for nothing...I don't care how many times you throw that "applause" sign up or drop in the super sophisticated Laugh Track 5000XXXL, I will not find your dumb ass "must see shows" funny until they make funny METAL.

The Evil of Two Lessers
I finally know where my vote's going in 2008.
This one's just silly. How can the same being hold two offices? It's riduculous, I say!
Re-damn-diculous.:

Deadwood Enhances The Pancake Experience for All You Degenerate Cocksuckers
Comedian Justin Schlegel has done one of the better Deadwood spoofs I've seen thus far.
That's Deadwood, kids. That means NSFW.
Deal with it, tit-lickers.
Also, looks like the news of Deadwood getting four more hours of goodness to round out the storylines wasn't a lie(see W. Earl Smith's MySpace blog).

"The 5 Most Obviously Drug-Fuelled TV Appearances EVER"
Some things I share with close friends via email. Sometimes those things get such a reaction that, well hell, it'd be a crime not to post it on this less than humble experiment.
Let's start with number 1: Richard Pryor in a Televised Interview on the Set of 'Stir Crazy'.
When I see this and the Crispin Glover roundhouse kicking David Letterman in 1987(which I remember seeing the night it aired), I'm reminded of the wisdom of The Superfreak(Rick James).
"Cocaine is a hell of a drug."

Metal Wolf Chaos is the Heart of Justice that Loves America
Metal Wolf Chaos, a video game made in Japan. What is it about? I'll tell ya.
The President of the US has multi-facted omnidirectional power armor. His name is Michael Wilson. The vice President has equally multi-facted power armor. His name is Richard Hawk. The waters in The Mall part and from the middle rises Air Force One, super charged and ready to dispense justice.
*glurp*
That was me choking on a little bit of awesome that bubbled up from my stomach.
Other bits of game-awesome that I still taste in my mouth.
Woman: "At least his misreporting is consistant."
President: "As long as the city is safe, who cares?"

Ze Bastardizes YOU! But it's More Complicated Than That
Joanne from Rocketboom Mach II reluctantly amuses me. Amanda Congdon still hasn't exposed her new public plans but seeing her "Where are they now?" feature made me miss her. Ze breaks down complex issues like music, dancing, and playing with your penis in public within a 5 minute show.
Team Joanne. Team Congdon. Team Ze.
Wonderful.
FYI: Just "playing with it" is how I learned photoshop, coreldraw(back in the day), html, and several other skills.
I said skills, not "skills".
Gutter mind.

The Simpsons Movie Preview Totally Rocked My Brain
I Watch Stuff did a lovely thing and shared 2 links from God's Loving Heart featuring The Simpsons movie footage shown at Nerd Prom 06.
The footage has no color because they're still working on the movie. Homer explains it all here.
This one made me laugh the most.
That movie's gonna be fucking funny. Maybe that's what they've been doing the last few years. They took bits of funny from the seasonal shows and saved them for the movie.
I'm not saying they've been unfunny on the TV show. I'm just sayin' the quality has been lacking lately.
Just a bit.

A while back, Diesel Sweeties did a comic on it. Jon Stewart finally got around to it last night.
