  • Compare and Contrast

    Swiped from Bookslut. Compare and contrast Brokeback Mountain and Curious George, as written by a freshman.

    Although Curious George and Brokeback Mountain share many similarities, they also share many differences. Both involve men in hats, but the meaning of the hat changes.

    Curious George is the story of a monkey and the man he adopts. The Man in the Yellow Hat works in a museum, where he never figures out that Drew Barrymore has a crush on him. He must be gay or something. He gets sent to Africa to find a statue that could save the museum. He doesn’t, but he could of if he had figured out how to read the map. A monkey steals his hat, which is like stealing his identity, but it’s a hat. It’s an example of nature’s inhumanity to man. [Confessions of a Community College Dean] [via Bookslut]

  • The IT Crowd

    I just took in the first three episodes of The IT Crowd, a new comedy on Channel 4 UK. It’s about the members of an IT group working in the basement of a large company. It’s silly, has many geeky moments, and is pretty damn fun (though it did take an episode or two for me to get into it. The show is from Father Ted creator Graham Linehan and seems to have much of that same kind of feel.

    Recommended if you like british comedy shows. You can find it at the usual bittorrent sources.

  • The Elements of Spam Style

    From McSweeney’s, The Elements of Spam.

    14. Use the active voice.

    Notice how aloof the passive voice is.

    Your balls are to be slurped the most by cum-starved nymphos!!!!!

    Hardly persuasive. The five exclamation points feel tacked on, an attempt by an inexperienced writer to breathe life into a desiccated construction. The active voice, however, allows you to write with verve and straightforwardness.

    Cum-starved nymphos will slurp your balls the most!!!!!

  • Okay, just one more quiz

    Okay, one more quiz for the day and I’ll stop. But I liked that I was Very Silly.



    Very Silly

    Arbitrary Silly Coordinates: (105,5)

    Now, score each answer as follows:

    A) 256 points

    B) π points

    C) -(i2) points

    Multiply the score of each answer by the square root of its ordinal number.

    Now, take all the answers whose ordinal number is even but not evenly divisible by three and add them together to get an X-axis value. Take all the answers whose ordinal number is evenly divisible by three but not by two and add them together to yield a Y-axis value. For all other answers, discard the results; they were red-herrings.

    Finally, print the above chart out on a piece of paper. Using the X- and Y-axis values you computed earlier, find the corresponding location on the chart and mark it. Then throw it away and try not to think about it. You’ll be glad you did.
