Ah, fark.com. If it shouldn't be out there, you will find it.

I assumed that this must have been some kind of a joke that an artist put together, but upon closer inspection it actually looks real... (EDIT: I'm referring to the link on the word "this", not the image below =:)

And, gotta love photoshop:




Finally, you must all check out this thread on theferrett's journal. Especially you linguisty-types.

Hopefully Kayla will clue some of her dipshit barbie peers into things like ecofeminism, or else put hexes on them and make them die.


Also, I think GIR should be on the quarter.

AAAAH!!!!


/me sands off his own face

Love the quote, though:

While at the controls of an S-3B Viking aircraft from the "Blue Sea Wolves" of Sea Control Squadron Three Five (VS-35), designated "Navy 1," he overflew the carrier before handing it over to the pilot for landing. Attired in full naval aviator flight equipment, the President then took the salute on the deck of the carrier.

In other words "After failing to land the plane properly, he handed the controls over to a real pilot who did it for him."

...Yeah, "elite force". Great.

Ooh! But he does come with realistic head sculpt! w00t for realistic head sculpt!

Oh, that should read:

In other words "After failing to land the plane properly, he handed the controls over to a real pilot who did it for him." ...and then posed for a make-believe soldier dressup party photo-op.


Hmm.. "head sculpt"... almost sounds like a euphamism for manipulation..

I have been playing with multibabel, and I came up with the absolute perfect thing to put through it. Here's what I got back, see if you can figure out what I fed it:

"The anxious Oh that in the sequence, of that we spiders, if in the first place to practice inside, the end we deceived."


Heeheehee.

[usernamenumber.livejournal.com]

Hehe, is it? "Oh, what a tangled web we weave when first we practice to decieve"?

DISCLAIMER: I had to look up what the exact wording after "Oh, what a tangled web we weave...".

I'm at all fond of Bush, but I thought I should speak up in the interest of accuracy.

Being able to fly a plane and being able to land one on an aircraft carrier are rather different levels of skill. In that light, it makes perfect sense to let the actual pilot land the plane. To me, anyway.

The action figure is interesting, in that I don't remember an action figure being made of any other president. Kind of funny.

[usernamenumber.livejournal.com]

Yes, it is extremely difficult to land on an aircraft carrier. Nonetheless, I find it offensive that he would play dress up and even pretend to be a combat pilot. He was a member of the air national guard sure, he never was a military pilot in any sense of the word. Once and actual war broke out, he took a post defending the airspace of TEXAS.

...and _then_ he went awol.

So I agree that he can be able to fly and still not be able to land on an AC. But what offends me about the whole photo-op was not his inability to land, but his pretending be of the same cut as the men and women he was sending to fight. Bush was no more a soldier than Clinton. And at least Clinton was using school as an excuse not to fight instead of just bailing.

re: multibabel. Feh! In my day, we did this by hand, and we were PROUD because we INVENTED the idea, we didn't need some program to automatically do it FOR us. And that was back when Babel only had English, French, German, Spanish and Italian ANYWAY. And that was good enough for us, gosh darn it! (Ok maybe it wasn't. But the only thing that the Japanese is good for is a laugh anyway- it is really sad how badly that Japanese translator works... *sigh*)

re: the new 20. I just want you to know that over here it is a big joke on the news. Basically, the Japanese press is going "Awwwuh, look... America's making their money pink! Well, clearly they must be onto something. I mean, how many other countries have differently-colored money? Oh, ALL OF THEM?!" It is pretty funny.

Finally, re: Wicca Secret Spell Barbie. DUDE! Why do I find out about her when she is suddenly rare and selling for $71 on eBay?! Why couldn't I have gotten word of it when she was still $19 at Kaybee and not sold out? *sigh* She's a redhead, too. I mean... I want them to make other religious barbies now.

Imagine the fun of Southern Baptist Barbie, with her bible in one hand and potluck schedule in the other!

Unitarian Universalist Barbie, who comes with a feminism t-shirt and social awareness flyers!

Buddhist Barbie, who comes with a mat and incense holder, and she would be a special release because her legs have 'AMAZING FULL LOTUS ACTION!'

Muslim Barbie, who comes with her own map to Mecca and a burqa!

Atheist Barbie, who comes with her own Neitzche library!

This is great, if we just release Barbie dolls for all the major religious groups women participate in, we would never have to learn anything about them as people, because we can just buy the action figure and we will know all we ever needed to! It saves so much time! I mean, think of all the kids who now know that I am not only a snappy dresser, but that I have my spells HIDDEN INSIDE A TRICK SCHOOL-BOOK. Not to mention that I can mix up spells to make their every wish come true.

I think it would be neat if I had managed to get my hands on one of the Castro Ken dolls that were all hushed up a while ago, and I could put Wicca Barbie up next to him as kind of a modern art installation...

[doctor-samuel.livejournal.com]

to be perfectly accurate, the Buddhist Barbie should come with her own nothing

[usernamenumber.livejournal.com]

Wouldn't that be Atreiyu Ken?

Or maybe "Give me a Name!" Barbie?
