The Codex Sinaiticus and Panic and the Disco

The Codex Sinaiticus is now online. CNN Reports Here.  Find the Codex Sinaiticus Online here. Some scholars say it’s the oldest known edition of the Bible, though there are many additional books and various redactions that aren’t present in the current version of The Bible.

 In other news, Panic at the Disco is breaking up. But I don’t care. I never liked Panic at the Disco. Sorry.

I Never Cared for Panic at the Disco. But the chick is cute.

Who Is Sarah Vowell, And Why Is The Internets Looking For Her and Her Wordy Shipmates?

Sure, Sarah Vowell is Cute In Her Own Way. But She Has Another Identity.

Sarah Vowell is of Interest to the Internets Tonight. Why is that? Could it be Because of Sarah Vowell’s Other Life?

Sarah Vowell is the voice of Violet. In the Best Movie Ever.

That’s Right. She’s also Violet Parr, from The Incredibles. And what a great vocal performance she turned in. In one of my favorite movies of all time. So whatever you’re all on about tonight, Internets, your intentions better be pure. That’s all I’m saying.

Apparently, you are innocently interested in Vowell’s recent book, The Wordy Shipmates. Good going, Internets. I’m proud of you.

Up and coming in the searching department is Tegan and Sara.

Um, not to jump to conclusions, but Tegan and Sara look like theyd be home in flannel shirts and baseball caps. Like they like to play a little bit of softball. Like they prefer action movies. If you know what I mean.

Canadian Singer-Songwriters Tegan and Sara . . . zzzzz . . . sorry, I fell asleep there. What were we talking about?

Oh. Right. Nothing.

Suzanne Malveaux is pretty cute. Seriously, thats all I know about her. That, and that she works for the Communist News Network.

Suzanne Malveaux is also a person of interest. I’m sure it has something to do with the debates, but I can’t figure out what. Maybe this?

Well, I’m tired Internets. The Internets may never sleep, but I gotta. Good night.

Well, except for this.

Spank Heidi Strobel. She Wants You To.

Spank Heidi Strobel. She Wants You To.

BTW, I’ve so far posted about 50 things to me blog (yes, I mean to say “me”), and I gotta say, you folks continue to show an unhealthy interest in Heidi Strobel. What is it about her? I mean . . .

Heidi Strobel. You Folks on the Internets Sure Do Like Her.

Okay, she’s cute. I get that. But, beyond that . . . I’m not so sure. Do you Internets suspect she’s going to cure cancer or something? She’s in the Playguy magazine with some other chick, so I guess that’s it. Well, stay classy, Internets. Stay classy.

Okay then. More Heidi Strobel. Just to make you happy.
Heidi Strobel Poses With Some Other Chick in Playboy. Like Thats Never Happened Before.

Now, that’s it. Enough with the Heidi and the Strobel and the Strobeliciousness and typing things like Hedie Stroble or Hiede Stroebl for the misspellers out there. I gotta go to bed. Seriously. Now. G’night.

Paul Newman, Sarah Palin and Internet Memes Over the Long Term

Just recently, you crazy Internets have been doing some funky Sarah Palin love. And who can blame you?

Sarah Palin. Mayor of MILF. Governor of my heart.

Sarah Palin. Mayor of MILF. Governor of my heart.

I didn’t come up with the term “VPILF”, but, ya know, I understand why somebody out there did. Yeah, I’ve seen the Photoshizzled Palin bikini pic and the hot sexy skirt pic and the hottest governor pic . . . but, ya know what? The real, un-retouched Alaskan Moose-hunting uber-babe is the best.

But, that’s over the past 90 days, according the what The Dubya calls “The Google”. Biggest search terms besides Olympics and Sarah Palin? Hi5. It’s a social network? Another one? Damn. Look, don’t you Internets talk to each other enough? Just stop it with the socialite networkings. Just stop it. I’m serious.

Okay, but that’s not the point. The point was the other big searches, after Hi5, Sarah Palin and Olympics. What are you searching for? Facebook! You don’t know where Facebook is? MSNBC, maybe I can see, even though that doesn’t seem that complicated. You really don’t know where CNN is? What’s up with that? ESPN? You searching for that a lot. Craigslist? You put in the search for the Craigslist? What’s wrong with you, is the address bar broken or something? 

BTW, I hate Craigs List. Why you Internets love it so, like you want to kiss it and make love to it and have its babies, I do not know. You peoples have the issues.

Top searches? Myspace! Yahoo! YouTube! Good green golly, you people actually search for Google on Google! In the last 90 days, that’s the 4th most popular Google search! For the word “Google”. Either you Internets is so very stupid, or so very meta that you go beyond me. Far, far beyond me, into meta-meta-meta land. Bye-bye.

You search for eBay and MapQuest? You don’t know where those are? 

At least over the last few days, you narcissistic Internetters gave Paul Newman some love. Paul, you will be missed.

Paul will be missed. Look at him, hes so bad-ass. All the truly bad ass alpha male movie stars are gone. Its kinda sad, really. Cry for me, Internets. Cry for me now.

Paul will be missed. Look at him, he's so bad-ass. All the truly bad ass alpha male movie stars are gone. It's kinda sad, really. Cry for me, Internets. Cry for me now.

Go back to the top now. Isn’t that picture of Sarah Palin gorgeous. Maybe I have a man-crush on Paul Newman (if I am, in fact, what you humans call “a man”), but my heart belongs to Sarah. Alas, I must pine away in semi-anonymity. Now, I cry for me Internets. It is I that am now crying.

Internets, you’ve also been more interested in Fox News these days. I wonder why. Still, the main thing you search for, all the time, is Yahoo!, MySpace, YouTube and Google. Why are you searching for Google on The Google? Stop that.

You’ve also been interested in Orkut. That’s the difference between you and me, Internets. I’m not interested in Orkut. Never have been. Never will be. And you can’t make me.

Apparently you Internets are all interested in Ziggs right now. I have a hard time thinking that’s really true. I think you’re being played, Internets. I think you are being played. Just telling it like it is. I wouldn’t be your friend like I am, truly, if I didn’t.

Well, good night. I gotta go to bed. For real this time. But before I do . . . 

 

Im in love. Sweet, sweet Sarah. If only you werent married, and I wasnt married, and I wasnt a mysterious blogger who cannot reveal his or her true identity without fear of reprisals from the Illuminati. Or the Vril Society. I hear thats all the rage on the Internets these days.

Today was good. Today was fun. Tomorrow is another one. From near to far, from here to there, funny things are everywhere.
