How tricking people works…

Man, if you’re going to make a fake alien video, you’ve got to make it embarrassing. Make it look like something no one would fake. Like, maybe it’s a video of your hideous mongoloid child looking kind of sad because only two other kids showed up at her birthday party (been there, it really is sad) and an alien knocks on the door, but he says he has the wrong house when he sees how lame the party is.

Or, maybe it’s a video of two ugly scabby people having sex, the cameraman making inappropriately aroused sounds. Then, what’s that? Bigfoot is looking through the window and jerkin it? That’s crazy! Then release it, but only release it with the alien part, and just a glimpse of saggy lesion covered ass, so people will be all like, what’s up with that? Then when they make you show them the whole thing, they’ll be astonished by what they’ve seen and won’t notice that bigfoot has a zipper down his back.

Also, bigfoot should not join in. I can’t stress that enough. Just saying that is making me gag.

Last thing, it bears mentioning that he suspected that someone was spying on his daughters, and it took him 5 years to get around to examining the tape closely. FAIL. His teenage daughters are probably old and fat and have three kids each by now. People age differently in Nebraska, don’t ask me how. They could star in my bigfoot sex tape.

I realize that this is old news, but my baby brother has gotten his site going again, and it made me feel shame. He’s not technically the baby, but I think it’s funny to call someone who is bigger than I am and could probably smash my drunk ass like a worm a baby. Also, I paid money to host this thing, what am I doing not posting for three months?

Pink Not Dead

This is not something you should look at from work, I guess. It’s the first blog I’ve seen based on a colour, which I find awesome.

Not a lot of noise, huh?

Yeah I’ve been quiet recently. More on that later, I guess. The novel’s chugging along, and so are some other projects.

While I’m being boring, you should check out Dropsy. He’s being thrown out of the circus, and we need to help him. It’s impossible to not love him, guys.

Dropsy originated in a Something Awful forum, but it’s been collected here if you’d like to see more but you’re afraid of getting goon on you (you should be).

Inaccurate maps

Originally uploaded by brendan peveril

What’s missing here? Following this map anywhere could be hazardous, especially if you’re trying to get to Prince Edward Island, Cape Breton or Newfoundland.

Any way. I took this at work, it made me think of home (sort of). The shot of BC is just as bad, but it offends me less. I’m sure that I could have picked out inaccuracies all over Europe and Asia, too, but, you know…

The future comes traipsing

You remember how robots used to be terrifying, powerful automatons that could do everything we couldn’t and kept coming back in time to kill some whiny kid we all wished was dead after a few minutes anyway? Then, at some point in the 90’s they got friendly, and we got things like Asimo, and Ai-bo, and even when they were trying to kill us, it looked like Steve Jobs had designed them specifically to be really bad at killing people. Well, it’s time to be afraid of robots again. Really afraid.

That said, if one of these fuckers could run at a decent clip and it didn’t sound like someone trying to cut through a mobile home with a chainsaw, I would totally ride it. I would ride it, while wearing an unlikely hat.
