Monty RIDES! Oh yeah…, originally uploaded by seoulfully.

I shouldn’t be because the internet is nothing if not a place for the niche-iest of niches, but I found this link on Kottke that talked about the size of Smurfs and how they lived in mushroom houses when ostensibly Smurfs were “three apples high” or in some rendering knee high on “humans”. That link led to another link which was a Smurf forum discussing this issue.
Things that amaze me about this:
If Smurfs are three apples tall, how can they live in mushrooms? What kind of mushroom is big enough to house a being about the size of a coke can? This has caused me a great deal of consternation over the last several days. Please help me!
A “great deal of consternation over the last SEVERAL days“!!! Wow.

pretty good tunes on my birthday.
Musical #1s on February 25 through the years.
On my actual birthday, Rod Stewart (and I guess I) was rocking out with “Do Ya Think I’m Sexy?’

I know all of the top 10 and frequently use many in many of my daily conversations:
Pixmania’s top ten: WiMax, Rickroll, UGC, mashup, RFID, Android, HDMI, fuel-cell, HSDPA and DVB-H.
I speak NERDIC! And while it almost seem like the antithesis of nerd, I’d add the use of bad grammar and spelling in the style of some arguably funny catz. I can haz nerdic languagez? (I’m not very good at the LOLcat imitation.

So you know what I’m talking about, some examples (images courtesy of Gizmodo):
So there’s a new cocktail tomato: the STRAMATO! Some Frankfruit, genetically engineered monstrosity (just kidding, I’d eat them) that is the ungodly lovechild of a strawberry and a tomato. Who’s sweetness not only tops other cocktail tomatoes, it is simply off the charts, immeasurably sweet! Not just off the charts, but break the m-f’in’ chart all to hell with the ever rising level of sweetness. (Actually doesn’t sound all that good anymore).

The Artist
You, my friend, are an artiste! Fuelled by a hounding sense of creativity and an untameable desire to express yourself, you see the world through rose-colored glasses one day and then wrestle the curtains closed and turn off the lights so you can ponder life the next. Your dog-eared journal is filled with brilliant ideas about rescuing the universe, yet you have trouble training your noggin on any one of them for any significant amount of time. Your originality occasionally manifests itself as performance art, and you love showing off your amazing athletic abilities in front of an audience. When it comes to taking on the leader of the pack, you’re not afraid to sink your teeth in – and won’t loosen your grip until you’ve gotten your point across.
THE GREATEST TWO FIRST PARAGRAPHS IN THE HISTORY OF THE WRITTEN WORD:
I am a very busy and important man. I don’t need to tell you this. The shit I have to deal with every day would make your pubes turn white. Check it: While dictating that last sentence I did something complicated in Excel and pleasured my ex-wife the way that makes her cry and call her mother. OK?
Terrific. Point is, I’m all about maximum efficiency. E.g., I use “e.g.” instead of for example. It’s just faster, and classier.
That’s right, all of written word. The rest of the article on the perfect length for pop songs found here. Including this gem of a sentence: “It’s a mere two seconds longer but feels like it drags on for hours.”
By the way, as per usual, thanks to Kottke.
Maybe I’ll start creating my own graphs, infographics now.
I’ve not tried it yet, but give me a bit. It’s kind of like MuxTape. I blogged, I’m interested, I’ll try eventually.
Edit: I just looked at the make your own. Alright it sucks. Carry on with your day. I was hoping for tools you could enter data and they’d pop out cool graphs and such, but nah. Just blank templates for snarky “observations”/data.
and not in a good way. That’s not the premise of this critique of Superman, but what I came away with
thanks to the kottke.
