Pretend to Be a Time Traveler Day
Posted in humour and timetravel on Sat, 15th Sep 2007 at 12:47
December 8 this year is Pretend to Be a Time Traveler Day. The idea is to dress and act like a time traveler but never to actually tell anyone that you are one.
Some ideas:
- Walk up to random people and say "WHAT YEAR IS THIS?" and when they tell you, get quiet and then say "Then there's still time!" and run off.
- Stand in front of a statue (any statue, really), fall to your knees, and yell "NOOOOOOOOO"
- Stare at newspaper headlines and look astonished.
- Take some trinket with you, hand it to some stranger, along with a phone number and say "In thirty years dial this number. You'll know what to do after that." Then slip away.
I think this may be something that I'll have to take part in.

The real reason Soundwave wasn't in Transformers:
New Fiction at Hughes and Hughes
It appears that Hughes and Hughes in the Stephen's Green Shopping Centre has a strange definition of the word new that I wasn't previously aware of.
This "new fiction" section contains a selection of works including Oliver Twist, Gulliver's Travels and Crime and Punishment. I can't wait to see what exciting works are produced next by today's wonderfully inventive authors.
Worryingly, it also seems that the person on the front of one of the other, unidentified books is playing the circle game.

I'm not even going to try to describe this comedy podcast. If you trust me enough to spend 10 minutes or so listening then do that. It's funny. Really.

Weapon of Choice
Take a look at the Fool's World Map, a map based on the bizarre world maps that the geographically challenged (i.e., Americans) must have in their heads, inspired by the Texan who once asked how long it takes to get to Japan from Texas by car. I'm reminded of a friend of my brother's who thought Amsterdam, Holland, The Netherlands and Dutch were four different countries.
Each country on the map links to a page describing some of the facts about that country, such as, "The preferred weapon of choice for an Irishman is Guinness or religion."
Student Regrets Choosing Buffy as Thesis Topic
Posted in buffy, humour and television on Thu, 01st Mar 2007 at 01:22
Remember a few years ago when it was the in thing for literature and cultural studies students to write dissertations and theses on the subject of Buffy the Vampire Slayer? Ever wonder where they are now?
Five years ago, Wasserman believed that Buffy was a "uniquely nuanced cultural text", a view she now believes was prompted solely by her enthusiasm for the popular TV show. "I thought that Buffy was a new type of cultural apparatus that could establish the co-ordinates of a more fluid, less repressive form of gendered identity," she says. "But looking back, I think I just had the hots for Giles."
(Yes, people actually did this. Yes, this particular case is satirical.)
