1. Hooray for Hellboy!

2. Heard an interesting story on Radio 1 Newsbeat this morning; apparently a survey revealed that some people believe Hitler is a fictional character, and others think that the battles of Helm's Deep and Endor (!) were real. They didn't give actual figures, and I've been unable to find the source article, but it's still appalling that even one person would think that. Hopefully they were taking the piss.

[UPDATE: Found, sort of ... while this isn't the actual report (or the actual survey, either), the Results page has more details on the findings of the survey.]

3. Comedy Goldmine! (courtesy of jewelstar93) My favourites are BRAINS, STUPID TENT and MAGENTA ALERT. MOTHRA AIRSTRIKE gets points for trying, and I cannot move on without making mention of the ACE of BASE. Lifetime Achievement award: the THREE of DRUNKEN BITCHES.

2. The survey covered only one family in inner salford, who only watch sky.
which one looks more interesting and believable - the history channel or scifi?

Well, nine times out of ten SF has more internal consistency... and at least everything is important or relevant, and nothing just happens at random.

where as a small dark haired midget of a man, controlling a nation, being worshiped by an Arian culture which he instigated (which looked nothing like him!) and then becoming heir to the kingdom of fools is so believable ?!? give me farscape any day (its got blue girls in it)

Not since early 3rd season but Zhaan was cool.

The world is drowning in scallies

Obviously the people they interviewed never went/ go to school. Morons. Unless they are joking but somehow I fear not.

chana looks blueish in a good light, or maybe just chana looks good what ever..... mmmmmm

[pkgem.livejournal.com]

She's grey but does look good in any light.

Well, I think she bluish/grey, and its my imagination so neerr *rasberry noise*

there is always the option "they are americans" then it all makes sense

Snethnic. I liked "Queen of Lame Gifts", "Stupid Tent", "Its Good To Be King" and "Brains" (nicely topical). I was also amused by the relative subtlety of "Gay Marriage" But I laughed out loud at "The Incompetent Seeing Eye Dog" and "3 of Drunken Bitches" Has Alan Moore seen these? Will he incorporate them into the Grimoires?

We may never know!

Careful What You Bitch For

Wow, they'd have to be Americans without TVs, at least, wouldn't they?

I mean, I overestimate my own kinfolk on occasion, but "Hitler" gets thrown around as a hyperbolic comparison with some frequency around these parts.

For a split second I read that wrong, and I thought, "now why would Mormons be less likely to attend or finish school?"

IX/XI (being the first joke of its kind in the batch) caught me off guard; BRAINS. is an instant classic; and DRAW FOUR winz just because I grew up with Uno cards. Hell, a lot of the damn cards worked for me. Hell damn.

I didn't catch the joke on THE STAR until the second read-through though, so it's managed to become "mildly amusing". And a Babar card, hooray!

Grey, grey, grey, grey... *raspberry noise retaliation*

I'll leave it your imagination though; you've always had a thing for blue women.

[zheers.livejournal.com]

every one has a disorder or 7.
And blue is best...

Le Roi linked those to me last night. I haven't laughed so hard for a long time.

[alucardo.livejournal.com]

As your resident SA goon. Thx.

[kingandy]

Did you do any of those? I don't know your ID there.

*cackles aloud with gusto*

You'll never know!

(no :( Im still learning how to use the GIMP, but I was frantically F5ing the thread, but I've passed on your thanks to those who contributed most. Even though the thread is gone to the mine.)
