frivolous vitriol 2: electric boogaloo
Reading Rainbow made me who I am today. Also the three C's: comics, cartoons and Cap'n Crunch. Okay, I guess that's four C's. I hang around at favoritethingever.com and kormantic.com. One site is about stuff and things that we really, really, REALLY like! And the other one is mostly stories that feature sweet makeouts. If you would like a smaller portion of me on a less regular basis, I also inform the world about the exciting passengers on my bus via Twitter @kormantic.

“Do I get stress headaches at work? Yes, definitely. From the moment I get in, it’s “Denise we need this! Denise we need that!” Which is stressful… ‘cause my name is Linda. Denise is the other black woman that works here. By 10am, someone in the copy room makes a joke about Kobe Bryant, and everyone looks at me to make sure it’s ok. And I smile like it’s ok. But really, my head and neck are starting to throb. Then I spend the rest of my afternoon training my interns, and answering their questions, like, “Yes, black people use shampoo”, and, “No, I don’t know any good reggae clubs around here”, and, “Yes, Condoleezza Rice is very articulate, why do you sound so surprised?” And, “No, I can’t tell you where to buy weed!” And that’s when I reach for Excedrin.”
Presented without comment.

Photoset reblogged from Archie McPhee's Endless Geyser of AWESOME!
Mark a.k.a. Broken Journalist created this awesome steampunk AT-AT walker as an engagement present for his fiancée. There are so many wonderful little details on this piece. It’s clearly a labour of geeky love.
To Mark and his Star Wars and steampunk-loving lass, the Geyser of Awesome congratulations on your engagement!

Photo reblogged from How Are You I'm Fine Thanks
Okay so we’re watching Young Justice and I’m liking it quite a lot. Everything I know about DC comes from Smallville, I’m not making this up, am I? Superboy is the son of Lex Luthor and Superman?
Yes, Superboy has two daddies. A setup not explored nearly enough.
TELL ME WHY THIS ISN’T AN AU
we have all this superhusbands shit with cap and tony but not enough super ex-husbands with lex and superman
Maybe because there wasn’t anybody pretty that’s played Lex? Or Superman is seen as boring?
Man, I don’t even know. It would take some skill but it would be the best thing ever and I’m sorry Young Justice never got to explore that.
this is getting reblogged again and that’s cool but I just had to pipe in here in response to that “Lex Luthor isn’t pretty” statement um
excuse you
Pru’s “Conflicts of Interest” springs to mind, natch.

Chat reblogged from merrily rolling
- (We’re taking a calculus final. The TA is a well-known Lord of the Rings fan, and we’ve had running LotR jokes all semester.)
- TA: “Okay, guys, everyone look at me. We’ve been over the rules, but just in case: no notes, pencil your answers in on the scantron sheet, and graphing calculators only – no more ‘can I just used my cell phone’ nonsense.”
- Student: “[TA's name], my calculator batteries just died! What should I do?”
- TA: “Here, I’ve got a big box of spares.”
- Student: *struggling* “I can’t get this packaging open…”
- Student 2: “Here, I’ve got a pocket knife.”
- TA: “And I’ve got a pair of scissors if you need them.”
- Student 3: *from the back of the room* “OR MY AXE!”
- (Everyone starts laughing.)
- TA: “The only axes allowed on the exam are in the graph section.”
- (Everyone groans.)
- TA: “Oh, come on, you’re in a math class. Deal with the math jokes.”
- (The professor enters with a stack of exams. With him are two exam proctors.)
- Professor: “Tolkien jokes already, [TA's name]?”
- TA: “Hey, I didn’t start it.”
- (The professor starts handing stacks of exams to the TA and proctors.)
- Professor: “But I’m about to finish it. [TA], take these exams down the left flank. [Proctor 1], follow the desks down the center. [Proctor 2], take your exams right, along the wall.”
- (At this point, many of the students have realized where this is going: Theoden’s lines from ‘Return of the King.’)
- Professor: “Forth, and fear no problems! Solve! Solve, students of calculus! Points shall be taken, scores shall be splintered! A pencil day! A red-ink day! Until three thirty!”
- (The professor pulls out a pencil, holding it out like a sword, and runs down the first row holding it out. Students hold up their pencils, hitting his as he passes.)
- Professor: “Solve now! Solve now! Solve to good grades and the class ending! MAAATH!”
- Entire Class: “MAAATH!”
- Professor: “MAAAAATH!”
- Entire Class: “MAAAAAATH!”
- Professor: “Forth, exam-takers!”
- (The entire class rises to their feet and gives him a standing ovation. A week later, we get an email from the professor.)
- Professor: *at the end of the email* “PS: I appreciate all of you who wrote in their evaluations that I was the one professor to rule them all, but the best one yet was the student who called me ‘Mathrandir.’”
