The Brothers Hitchens

Monday, June 13th, 2005

How long has it been since I’ve posted to this blog? I figure I had best put something up lest you all drop me from your rss readers. Posting will resume at a more regular pace in a short while. I’ve been under duress getting my business affairs in order, struggling just […]

Rude people link to the DPRK

Saturday, March 5th, 2005

Newspaperindex is a neat blog about newspapers and free speach. Hans Henrick had a hard time finding a newspaper to link to in North Korea, because aside from not really having any newspapers online, the Socialist Repuclic does not even make use of it’s tld .kp. Hans did manage to find some fun […]

Iraqi terrorists capture GI Joe

Monday, February 7th, 2005

This was
too funny
to not post, even though I’ve been silent on so much major news lately.

The posting, on a Web site that frequently carried militants’ statements, included a photo of what that statement said was an American soldier, wearing desert fatigues and seated on a concrete floor with his hands tied behind his […]

The Microsoft Memo

Friday, January 28th, 2005

Wired has a fun piece purporting to be a memo from Linus Torvalds to his boss Bill Gates in the year 2008.

Myself, I thought I was making some pretty outrageous demands. I was stunned when you agreed to accept the General Public License mandating that everything you added at the level of the new operating […]

What happened to Calvin and Hobbes

Thursday, January 20th, 2005

Brilliant exposition of Fight Club (hat tip: WoC)

In the film Fight Club, the real name of the protagonist (Ed Norton’s character) is never revealed. Many believe the reason behind this anonymity is to give “Jack” more of an everyman quality. Do not be deceived. “Jack” is really Calvin from the comic strip Calvin and Hobbes. […]

I sear Pat has got to be one of the most well-crafted characters in the history of comedy.

Rate my network diagram

Wednesday, January 12th, 2005

For some reason I’m way more critical in my ratings of people’s networks than I ever was on the rate my cat or hotness sites.

Kids on video games

Wednesday, December 29th, 2004

A follow-up to last years look at the expose on the playstation generation meets yesterday’s games.

Parker: Save the fairy, or save Zelda. It has something to do with the Tri-Force.

Dillon: It always has something to do with the Tri-Force.

Bobby: If you get the Tri-Force, you get the girl.

Scared of Santa

Friday, December 24th, 2004

Santa is enough to scare any young child as this photo album demonstrates. It seems that we get off easy in Canada though, with a piece of coal our biggest threat (hat tip: Michael Totten).

I have a friend from Switzerland who has explained to me a tradition that makes ol’ Santiglaus seem a greater […]

The year in verse

Monday, December 20th, 2004

Heh.

DARK night gave way, that Jan the first,
To hopes that now the sun would burst
On where Saddam had once been king%u2014
Tsar, caesar, lord%u2014of everything,
And with his acolytes and thugs,
And poison gas and listening bugs,
Had ground the poor Iraqis down,
In field and dune and marsh and town.
The realisation soon would grow
That in his place was GI […]

The Ten Least Successful Holiday Specials of All Time

Thursday, December 9th, 2004

Prior to broadcast [of Ayn Rand’s a Selfish Christmas], Mutual Broadcast System executives raised objections to the radio play, noting that 56 minutes of the hour-long broadcast went to a philosophical manifesto by the elf and of the four remaining minutes, three went to a love scene between Santa and the cold, practical Mrs. Claus […]

It should be known that I have seen every episode of Three’s Company upwards of 4 times.
