Weirdness

Like You Needed More Proof

January 14, 2010Burt Likko

Yes, Pat Robertson is nuts.  The sky is also blue at noon on a clear day, water is wet, and heavy stones placed on slippery slopes will tend to move down rather than up.  If you need any other pressing… Continue Reading →

McDonald’s Mayhem

January 5, 2010Burt Likko

Twenty-four year-old Melodi Dushane, of Toledo, Ohio, really wanted some Chicken McNuggets.  Don’t judge her for that — we’ve all been there.  But when she got to the McDonald’s and found that they were out, her response was not disappointment. … Continue Reading →

Towards Thirty Seconds

December 27, 2009Burt Likko

There are people who are obsessed with all sorts of obscure things.  Like paper planes.  I like paper planes too.

Heatlh Care Reform Crazy Reaches A Pinnacle

December 24, 2009Burt Likko

For the record, I don’t imagine for a second that most American Christians who take their religion seriously and consider themselves patriots would do anything but condemn trying to invoke the power of prayer to have God strike a fellow… Continue Reading →

Disturbing Use Of Photoshop

December 23, 2009Burt Likko 2 Comments

Among other sources for sports news, I sometimes read Yahoo! Sports’ Shutdown Corner NFL blog.  This week, that blog used the graphic posted at the left to advertise its live chat for the Monday night football game between Washington and… Continue Reading →

Weekend Weirdness, Volume X

December 19, 2009Burt Likko

To begin this tenth edition of Weekend Weirdness, I give you tens. Tens of weird commercials. Ten half minutes of a guy in a chicken suit playing “What is Love?” from Ring Mod on Vimeo. Okay, “ten half minutes” is… Continue Reading →

Weekend Weirdness, Volume IX

December 12, 2009Burt Likko

LOLCats — annoying the hell out of you since 1929! After Japanese stereoscopic photography was rediscovered, so was the lost art of stop-motion photography, this time by disaffected Spanish college students.  Living on a cliff:  probably not a good idea… Continue Reading →

Weekend Weirdness, Volume VIII

December 5, 2009Burt Likko 1 Comment

Straight from Tokyo to your next ballroom event: Atuendos Hechos con Globos!  (Related: Domo-kun on the runway.) An interesting factoid about Chelsea Clinton’s fiance.  So much for the myth of a classless society in America, as if anyone ever believed… Continue Reading →

Weekend Weirdness, Volume VII

November 29, 2009Burt Likko

Yeah, I pretty much took off the weekend, except to talk about food.  But I wasn’t going to leave you without your weirdness.  100% apolitical this weekend. Consider, for example, the transvestite (female dressing as male) jazz musician who over… Continue Reading →

Weekend Weirdness, Volume VI

November 22, 2009Burt Likko 1 Comment

Is that a meep I hear, young man?  Better not be! Can your cat do this?  Mine would like to but we don’t get house guests like this very often.  Well, at least they’re not this lazy. These aren’t cake… Continue Reading →
