Welcome to the internet! First visit?

Someone wrote and asked me for a unicorn-shitting-skittles graphic (yeah, pretty sure opportunities like that are why my folks sent me to art school). I didn’t have time to build one from scratch but, as it happens, I have a unicorn-farting-rainbows graphic in the works for a t-shirt, so I just threw in some Skittles. (If you yearn to know how that looks in color, yearn no more).

First, though, I had to do a Google Images search for Skittles, since I wasn’t entirely sure what the hell they look like, other than real small specks of color raining down on the upturned faces of stoned children on TV (are there really no blue Skittles? What, were they afraid people would use them to mend spinal cord injuries?).

Anyhow, that image search is how I found this heartwarming story of life with the new media: about a year ago, Skittles decided it wanted itself a piece of that viral marketing, social networking thing all the cool kids were talking about. So they launched a web page that would essentially be a live Twitter feed. Every time somebody mentioned #skittles, the page updated.

Yes. They really did that.

With a straight face.

Never heard the scary there’s an escaped lunatic undead shark in the basement AND IT’S COMING FROM INSIDE THE HOUSE music playing in the background.

Soooo…how long do you think it was before somebody tweeted “On the skittles thing? Bollocks arse fuck soapy titwank cunt wankstain piss frenulum shit twat motherfucker toss Rick Astley…”

And from the sound of that inspirational outpouring of cusswords, it was tweeted by a Brit. I’m so proud.

Unicorns farting rainbows creates Skittles and thrust. Who knew?

You know every so often I just have to sit slackjawed when I think about where we are. Probably millions of people voted for a guy they associated with a mythical beast, or could just throw them cash at random times from his stash.

Jeebus. Really, if were going out I want it to be with heavy duty explosions and such. Not to the jibbering crys of mentally disturbed children who need their mommy.

Unicorns also cause the seas to recede, the world to heal, and algore to put his boner into penguins.

It is now. Sort of like Hiking the Appalachian Trail.

And btw: What the heck is up with Brits and the c-word? That particular word makes my skin crawl; over there they use it in nearly polite speech, and the folks who hear it pat them on the fanny and send them on their way.

Well, of course.. 😉

‘Frenulum’ is the attention-to-detail anatomically-specific filth that has it pinned down as a Brit. The ‘soapy titwank’ entry means they read Viz magazine, specifically Rude Kid. It’s practically forensic. You could probably get a conviction in the High Court based on these two data.

For your delectation and edification, I give you: Roger’s Profanisaurus. Such a cavalcade of filth is unparalleled in the annals of human history. You’ll have to crack out a pre-emptive strike before reading this or you might end up suffering Bartlett’s Dilemma.

Oh, wow. Blue-skinned-mouse with a spinal-cord-injury picture first thing in the morning. That’s a pretty devastating start to my Thursday.

I think I’d happily spend the rest of my life with bright blue skin if it saved me from being paralyzed. The Smurf references would get tiresome after awhile.

Great job as always Stoaty!

Off topic, but a heads up for tomorrow’s Death Pool. Rue McLanahan is dead, Betty White is now the only surviving Golden Girl.

“‘Frenulum’ is the attention-to-detail anatomically-specific filth that has it pinned down as a Brit. ”

I dunno, Dave. Ron White did a long bit on his wife’s frenulum flicking skills in the bedroom on his last standup dvd…..

Stoaty, saw you over at HA on the paul mcratney article. Is it maybe just possible to go from Hey Jude to Hey Crude for a deep sea leaky oil well song?

Um….scube, I’ve actually disected a cadaver and that whole “wife’s frenulum flicking skills” coupled with the term “standup dvd” had me blushing.

Ok, I officially want that t-shirt with the line “Ok, I voted for Obama” above the picture and “Now where’s my unicorn?” below the picture.

Make with, I’ve got a little discretionary cash this paycheck.
