Thing a Week 14 – Flickr
This is Super Special Video Edition of Thing a Week. Some of you will no doubt be watching this on the new video iPod you got for Christmas – the rest of you, maybe you shouldn’t have married a cheapskate. I won’t explain too much about it here, except to say that it’s an example of what Creative Commons licensing makes possible. I was able to do this without calling any lawyers or receiving any cease and desist letters, because all these photos were published on Flickr with CC licenses that let me know it was OK to use them this way. No doubt you’ve finished your Christmas shopping already, but if you forgot to get something for The World, maybe you should take a moment to CC license something you created and release it into the wild…
Enough! Here it is: Flickr
Don’t Open the Lid!
I cannot avoid sharing this will all of you. Mark sends me this link via here. Come on Ikea, maybe you want to run it by an English speaker before you put it in the US catalog? And not for nothing, but what the hell kind of piece of furniture is that?
Lazy Sunday
I haven’t seen anything really funny on SNL in a long time, but this is pretty good: Lazy Sunday
Flagrantly Wrong or Unmitigated
Deane sends me this thesaurusized version of the opening of Baby Got Back (as inspired by Chris Falvey on McSweeney’s):
Oh my supernatural being, Becky, look at her fleshy mounds above her legs
it is so extensive
She appears to be one of those spoken rhyming vocals guys romantic and/or sexual involvement
Who can explain the nature of those spoken rhyming vocal guys?
They only converse with her because she has the appearance of a somebody who receives money in return for sexual intercourse
I mean her fleshy mounds
It’s just so extensive
I can’t believe her fleshy mounds are so round
Suspended over there
I mean, it’s flagrantly wrong or unmitigated
Look, she’s just so belonging to an ethnic group with dark skin
I enjoy big fleshy mounds and I cannot say something that is untrue to deceive you
You other brothers can’t refuse to acknowledge
That when a girl walks in with an extremely small physical length around her stomach
And a globular thing in the front of your human head
You become more likely to move rapidly upward or forward in a series of rapid movements
