Today's accumulated goodness, mostly from Boing Boing....

President Bush's iPod contains illegal music. Well, if you believe the RIAA, who'd love you to pay every time you think of a song.

mcgriddlefanfic. YA RLY. This is a LiveJournal community for writers of McGriddle Fan Fiction, Breakfast Fan Fiction, and McGriddle Creative Writing. While our primary focus is on Fan Fic involving the McDonald's McGriddle, we extend membership to writers of any sort of breakfast food creative writing (i.e. McMuffins, Bagel Sandwiches, Pancakes, etc). Also fantastic: Keep it focused on breakfast products. I don't want to hear about any french fries.

What happens when the USAF tests aircraft hangar fire suppression systems. And...forgets to turn it off? Some're saying that the catastrophic amount of foam was intentional, but...that's a lot of foam. It's Real Genius-levels of foam.

Oh, and the wretch from Oklahoma who killed a neighbor girl? He blogged about his cannibalistic intentions, worked seven years at a Carl's Jr. and he played Kingdom of Loathing. And yet the most disturbing thing about his background remains the word "Oklahoma."

And happy Easter. Curling was on ESPN2 today. Truly a holiday. Celebrate with Justice League Peeps or Avengers Peeps.

Mc... Griddle? ... Fanfic?

Oh, dear. That just made my brain cry.

I was expecting the McGriddles people to just write about sandwiches laying there, and yet was somehow more disturbed to find that they write "Buffy eating a McGriddle" stories.

Okay, that answers my question.

Thank you, Jim Dear.

McGriddles fanfic...?

[paradisacorbasi.livejournal.com]

I'm tempted to ask:

... if I write a fic wherein someone digs up an old Earth McDonalds in the Firefly verse, and Wash is eating McGriddles happily, does that qualify?

Yes.

Okay...that Oklahoma guy reminds me of Brian Peppers...he's got the same sort of weird jawline going on.......maybe he needs a good breakfast meal.

That foam reminds me of an old Space 1999 episode were the moon flys through a giant space brain and Moonbase Alpha is flooded in this foam. Weird.

And people think the internet is full of drivel. McGriddle fan fic gives me hope for the future.

Conversation yesterday turned to Peeps, and someone mentioned "rabbit Peeps" (in the context of changing them into Cthulhu peeps by slicing the ears in two). I misheard it as "rabbi Peeps", which led to some amusing discussion of such.

This may be the greatest application for Peeps ever. I might even try this on some, if they have any left. I'm going to hit Volde-Mart tonight and clean up on their surplus Dove Truffle Eggs, which are divine.

No, this is the greatest application for Peeps ever; the Easter turducken.

I dunno. Even if I could get past eating something that starts those four letters, I think when you break out the dremel it's a sign that you've gone too far. I got a C in shop class.

[jkgriffin.livejournal.com]

Simply brilliant. I can feel the insulin shock just thinking about it.

What's really, really sad is I expected the McGriddle fanfic to be worse. Because it's gotten to the point where I see the words "fan fiction" but I read the words "slash fiction."
So before I clicked on the link, I was trying to figure out how you combine syrupy breakfast sammitches with gay sex. I figure someone has beaten me to this, though, so I stopped.
I love the internet, and I fear the internet.
