active_apathy finds funny in every situation.

I think the most surprising thing is that, up until now, he still had all his fingers and toes. He'd been hugging and pouncing on variously-angry crocodiles for years, made a routine habit of picking up the world's very most venomous snakes, and then it was a pancake-shaped fishie that ended up saying a very bubbly "kthx i keel you".

It's hard to imagine that someone like Irwin would be happy in a conventional heaven, so I will assume that somewhere, there is a vast mudpit in the sky full of grumpy crocodiles that need their toenails trimmed.

greyladybast, posting about fandom's reaction to Harlan Ellison groping Connie Willis at WorldCon, and the "boys will be boys" excuse:

I don't understand why any variation on "boys will be boys" is any sort of excuse at all. What sort of smeghead chooses to allow---nay actively encourages---themselves to be defined solely by their very worst behavior? "That's just Harlan being Harlan" references nothing good about the man. In fact, it implies that the entirety of his being is defined only by being an asshole. "Harlan being Harlan" never means being quick-witted, or a talented writer, or an astute observer of the human condition, or in fact anything good at all. It's always used to refer soley to his assholishness. Is being an asshole the only thing that makes boys be boys Harlan be Harlan? Because that's what this so-called "effective pet excuse" implies.

For a dress form to work properly, it has to properly represent the shape of the body. In other words, each breast needs to be individually outlined, as does the curve of the back, the shape of each buttock, and the shape of the stomach. So here I am, ripping off 8-inch-long strips of duct tape to form individual duct-tape Sarah boobs, carefully smoothing over each one about 25 times (because that is how many strips of duct tape I needed to get it right). And then I got to carefully shape the duct tape over Sarah Ass, and Sarah Back, and Saray belly. All this while listening to All the Things She Said by Tatu.

kelso reflects on today's youth and being very very old.

The freshmen in high school that I teach were 1 year old when I was rocking out to Greenday and Weezer! They are now the ones rocking out to Greenday and Weezer.

QWP looks like Buddy Holly, and Context looks like Mary Tyler Moore.

Over at Fandom_Wank, there is wank of grown adults fighting over which is the better dinosaur - the T-Rex or the Spinosaurus.

vigilantrodent, of course, knows the real answer:

"Velociraptors were badass. All raptors were badass. But Utahraptor was totally the badassiest in a family of badasses. The Chuck Norris of the raptor world, even."

Context died from a raptor round-house kick to the face.

I once tried to make a joke in a friend's LJ about mine being the ass that launched a thousand ships until I realized how unpleasant that sounded...
