The Simpsons Chalkboard Gags

Twenty-nine of the best chalkboard gags ever to appear on The Simpsons. (via Geek Like Me)

Moon Water

Scientists found water on the Moon. Not only does this mean that astronauts can have water fights, but now a permanent Moon base is a real possibility.

Take off you hoser

I have a really soft spot in my heart for stereotypical Canadian accents. I think that might be why I like living in the prairies so much. Every once and a while I'll encounter someone who sounds like Dave Thomas and it warms my heart. I want to befriend them and slowly steal their speech patterns over several rounds of beer.

If the title of this post alludes you, it's probably because you're not Canadian. For clarification a "hoser" is as follows:

"He's often imagined wearing heavy winter clothing, usually a flannel lumberjack shirt, Kodiak boots and a tuque. He is generally a young adult to middle age, and may be somewhat aggressive given the beer and hockey, but may conversely be passive and amiable, given the beer. In musical culture, he is correlated with classic and mainstream rock music, particularly with Rush, April Wine, Trooper and the earlier, rowdier works of The Tragically Hip. If he goes out socially, it's usually to a doughnut shop"

flame war

A link to this video was sent to me after a "debate" broke out in the comments to one of my flickr photos. The video has a lot of swearing to the tune of Billy Joel, so if you're offended by that kind of thing don't say I didn't warn you.

Happy Anniversary

It's been a whole year now since Joel Watson lost his day job and started doing Hijinks Ensue (the best webcomic on the Internets) full-time. 

If you don't already know, Joel started "The Experiment" in hopes of making his webcomic a profitable endeavor. He posts three comics a week, hosts a weekly podcast, and sells a variety of T-shirts, and prints, and accepts donations in return for premium content.  So far he's doing pretty good, he's been able to keep the comic going at an ever increasing pace, and is making a little bit of money from it. 

I use to donate regularly, however, I had to stop for a while due to my own personal finances. I'm of the opinion that if you are going to be spending money it should be in support of people who you admire, and Joel is definitely one of those people. I very much encourage you to check out his site, buy his stuff, and/or donate.

Here's his most recent comic.
