Omgthatartifact is a truly incredible blog, but I am reposting this for the modifying phrase “with Decapitator with Human Heads”. It sounds so much like something at a fast-food place:
“Can I get the Chicago burger?”
“You want that with the decpitator and the human heads?”
“Yo, yeah.”
Nose Ornament with Decapitator with Human Heads

One of the greatest music videos of all time. To which the romance-free corporate corporate realists at Polaroid added:
Shaking or waving a Polaroid picture to help the development process originated in the early days of peel-apart film. After peeling the negative, the image needed to dry before it could be handled, so waving the photo helped it to dry more quickly.
I think reading this message while watching the video is somehow perfect in a Dark Side of the Moon / Wizard of Oz sense.
When using the integral films (600, Spectra, 500, SX-70/Time-Zero, i-Zone) that are used in our most popular current camera models (Polaroid One, OneStep, JoyCam, etc.), the image develops and dries behind a clear plastic window and never touches the air, so shaking or waving has no effect.
In fact, excessive shaking or waving can actually damage the image. Rapid movement during development can cause portions of the film to separate prematurely, or can cause “blobs” in the picture.
The best way to ensure a perfectly developed image is to simply lay the picture on a flat surface immediately after it exits the camera. Shield it from the wind and avoid bending, twisting, or otherwise disturbing it during development. Image development time for Polaroid integral films is 3-5 minutes — after an additional 5 to 10 minutes, the photo’s colors will become richer and fuller.
I am reblogging this in the hopes that the OP will fix the second link….
… for Overthinking It: a wonderful blog that I don’t read nearly enough because it seems to have a propensity for crashing my browser.
I present to you two links:
Why strong female characters are bad for women
and
The female character flowchart
I can’t possibly express the enormity of…
Oh god yes. This reminds me of a gubernatorial race back in Maryland in the ’90s, when there was an outbreak of lesionous pfisteria in the fish of Chesapeake bay. And all the politicians had to get photo ops of themselves eating these putrid fish.
I totally think a contest for who will eat the grossest thing would be an improvement on our current electoral system.
To quell the ammonia-treated beef uproar, 3 Republican governors declared pink slime to be safe and nutritious after touring a plant where it’s produced.
“I am very proud to offer my support to this situation, to add my voice to those calling for cooler and calmer heads on this issue,” Kansas Gov. Sam Brownback said at a news conference. “I really hope people in America take a second look at this, because this is a quality beef product.”
Does that make you feel any better about eating it?
Confession: We really miss posting photos of Rick Perry.
I love you all.
But there’s something you have to know.
This blog is a mistake. When I started using Tumblr, I set up two different blogs by accident, and occasionally I post things on this one because I forget to click the right clicks. I’m not trying to do this. The only tumblog I’m trying to run is Recursive Muffin.
Thanks.
I just saw the word “exiguous” used in a news article. I mean, it would have been easier clearer to say “scarce”, but still….pretty fun.
In the wake of Limbaugh’s “slut” comments, I am seeing a lot of his suporters saying stuff like the following:
Just hang in there Rush…..And Sandra stop having so much sex but when you’re in LA let us all know I’m good.
Of course, this is essentially what Limbaugh said, too: “you’re a slut, but I want to see the videos.”
This is the old-school misogyny, which can’t even remember whether women should be virgins or whores for the duration of an entire sentence, but is going to look down on them either way.
All of which raises the question: is Rush on Obama’s payroll?
