#!/usr/bin/girl once again alerts me to important news:
Freddy and Jason…and?
I’m not sure if I want to laugh or cry about Freddy vs. Jason vs…Ash.

My personal feeling? I will only allow this if Ash gets to kill them off for good. Or at least send them out to another dimension or something.
Those wacky animals are at it again.
Bear guzzles 36 beers, passes out at campground
SEATTLE, Washington (Reuters) — A black bear was found passed out at a campground in Washington state recently after guzzling down three dozen cans of a local beer, a campground worker said on Wednesday.
“We noticed a bear sleeping on the common lawn and wondered what was going on until we discovered that there were a lot of beer cans lying around,” said Lisa Broxson, a worker at the Baker Lake Resort, 80 miles (129 km) northeast of Seattle.
The hard-drinking bear, estimated to be about two years old, broke into campers’ coolers and, using his claws and teeth to open the cans, swilled down the suds. [CNN.com]
I personally like that he was smart enough to avoid the Busch beer. He’s even got taste!
Thanks to those fine folk at Boing Boing for this link. I may have to destroy you all for it.

So wrong, but so funny. Hmm, what other comics to re-caption.
So scary I think I want one.
I would have posted this up about 5 minutes before now, but I noticed they only had three more in stock, so I thought I should get there before you punks. Because lord knows, there’s nothing that goes together more sweetly than a distended Hello Kitty head and a light, battery-powered sucking force. And for $10, even! If this thing moves itself around by itself – something that I’m sad to say probably isn’t the case – I would buy 24 of them and set them loose around the house. It’d be cheaper than a Roomba and at least 24 times as cute.
Also, have you noticed people saying kawaii a lot lately, too? I doubt they are doing the clap and giggle. You gotta do the clap and giggle.

I also agree that they would be much more cool if they moved around on their own. And even if I did say kawaii, I’d refuse to clap and giggle at the same time.
Oh my!
He saw comet-tails on every pitch.
The LSD No-Hitter:When the subject of baseball and drugs comes up, the story of Pittsburgh Pirates pitcher Dock Ellis and his celebrated ‘LSD No-Hitter’ stands out above all others. On June 12, 1970, the 25-year-old pitcher was between starts, so he stayed back in his Los Angeles hotel while his team flew on to San Diego to play the Padres. Ellis invited his girlfriend over, and they dropped hits of acid around noon.
As he tells it in his autobiography, In the Country of Baseball:
‘I had taken LSD … I thought it was an off day. That’s how come I had it in me. I took the LSD at 12 noon. At one, my girlfriend looked in the paper and said ‘Dock, you’re pitching today’.’”
(Should I be admitting this here…?) Back in my partying days I certainly never took LSD, and while doing so never ever spun out at parties. And I definitely never learned to spin records while tripping. Because uh, drugs are bad. These days I stay away from that stuff, the last thing I need is to be high when I get the call for a new lung (talk about a recipe for a bad trip).
Relaxation Combat Team Valerian, at your service! That seems to be the battle cry of these superheros in a new creation by CLAMP called Sweet Valerian. I personally think this is just further evidence of drug use on the part of people producing anime. This show is like the Powerpuff Girls on Acid and E at the same time. In the second episode they fight a cell phone monster and defeat it by drowning it in water. My brain hurts.
Further proof that they’ll make a sequel for just about anything (and keep making them).
Though I have to admit, it’s definitely original. I’m also amazed that there is still any life in the Chucky franchise. [via

Once again that #!/usr/bin/girl finds the cool flash games. This time it is Shoot the Cliche. My high score was around 252, but I only played it twice. And remember. Spare the kittens.
I was going through my bookmarks, cleaning up things that I hadn’t visited in ages or that were dead, and I ran into a link for The Monolith Game. Someday I’d love to try and set up a game of this, just to see if it were actually doable.
Another thing I’d love to try post transplant is the Tube Challenge.
Hmm. I wonder if I can use this service yet. I mean, if I had a date anytime in the next decade.
‘Escape-A-Date’ ringtones help you lie like an (unwired) dog
Cingular Wireless recently introduced an odd new tool for subscribers. “Escape-a-Date” is touted as “the perfect service to use when you are afraid that your blind date may not be just right for you.” Users schedule a “rescue” phone call at a pre-set time which tells them exactly how to lie their way into speedy escape. Eight randomly-generated humorous scripts are offered, here’s a snip from one:
Hey, this is your escape-a-date call. If you’re looking for an excuse, I got it. Just repeat after me, and you’ll be on your way!
“Not again! Why does that always happen to you? … Alright, I’ll be right there.” Now tell ’em that your roommate got locked out, and you have to go let them in. Good luck!”
I remember doing this kind of thing to get out of meetings that were driving me insane.
