simpsons s3d3 and therepublica

i had a really great IM conversation last night with stoops as i watched the simpsons season 3 disc 3 on dvd and stoops followed along with his alien hive mind or some funky shit. i bought seasons 1-5 from costco when they were $20 each, skipped right to season 3 because 1 and 2 are ho-hum, and was a little disappointed when season 3 did not meet my expectations. well, disc 3 is solid gold. bart falls down a well, homer and the swear jar, bart courts mrs. crabapple (sp?), mr. burns hires an all-star ringer team for his softball game vs. shelbyville, bart and lisa switch sides. now i can't remember if the swear jar and mrs. k (i think it starts with a k) are the same episode, but oh man. homer's love postcard... i'd quote good lines as they came up and somehow stoops would follow up with the next hi-larious punchline.

in other news, i hit a ton of great links yesterday from hedonistica, and from there, therepublic. i'll put them up now. one of them is fake. i think it's pretty obvious, but don't look at the urls to make it a bit challenging.

trapped babe in toyland
2 people in critical condition from lightsaber duel
lion mutilates 42 midgets in cambodian ring-fight
photographer criticised (the headline is not good but the photos most definitely are)

followup to the fake article

also great with accompanying media is this video from hedonistica of a bus driver owning a 15-year old fucktard. that kid deserved every bit of it, i am positive. i didn't even see what he did, but i know he had it coming. i love the first sentence by the commentor.

in other news, tao has become a flaming woman. he's been blogging up a storm, one sign of a vagina and menstruation. and he's been blogging about his feelings. good god. i have to admit i loved the old tao, stoic to the point of taciturn-ness.
i remarked upon this to steiner, and he had this to say:

(16:29:14)
jon@work: OMG
(16:29:21) jon@work: SHE DESTROYED TAO. GOD DAMN SUCCUBUS

there's got to be a morning after
if we can make it through the night...

You're just jealous that he's not afraid to open up and admit he has feelings. I know you wish that you could do this too. But it's been proven that hedgehogs, the most emotional of all creatures, just don't have the ability to express their feelings publically.

It's ok, Eric, you can cry on my shoulder anytime.

1) i don't even know if my spirit animal is actually a hedgehog. it's never been formally declared. i took the name after mary posted that picture of a hedgehog wearing a construction hat and riding a toy dump truck. it's some weird coincidence that my nickname is sonic.
2) i know i have feelings and i do freely admit it. but i stuff them into this ball that stays contained in the pit of my stomach, and everyone is better off for it.
3) crying is for wimps. something about not crying and working out, although i have no idea why the girls team says that.

Your spirit animal is a hedgehog. It's because they're prickly.

I went back and read all the posts from my old blog. I was surprised by how impersonal some of the writing was, like I would come close to spilling my guts and then pull back. Rolling everything into a ball in my stomach leads to many many bad dreams.

My room is cold :(

I feel like Eric expresses as large a spectrum of emotions as everyone else... it's just shifted slightly towards hatred and anger. I've never seen someone be so many different kinds of angry :)
