I discovered Wondermark yesterday thanks to this post by Simen and I have to say it is consistently AWESOME. The strip’s been publishing for several years now, but David Malki is considerate enought to compile some of his best work in a single page from time to time. If I were you, I won’t miss a second!

giantrobotlasers:tedr:ericmortensen:cvxn:juliasegal: Princess Leia and her stunt double waiting (and tanning) on set. More like “sleeping off a bender” for Carrie. The actor who played Boba Fett described how a side effect of a metal bikini is that they don’t stretch and bend to follow the contours of the body. When standing behind Jabba & Leia, I think his phrase was “I could see all the way to Miami”. From Tunisia, that’s a feat.

Colosal. He cogido esto y me he hecho esto otro. Mis favoritos de momento:

  • Monstrocrior
  • Empestor
  • Necrophomermant
  • Demigorgir
  • Cryptobomber
  • Mayhemonium
  • Deationcy
  • Assaulthartic
  • Luciferitor

Y creo que van a ser todos ellos nombres para mis futuras mascotas o hijos. Aunque tal como pintan las cosas, que tenga hijos es bastante menos probable que que forme un grupo de black metal.

Make your own Markov Chain generator. Like Norse gods or organic compounds. It works better if you have lots of words. I made one that generates names of Tumblr staff members, but there are too few names to really create anything interesting: it keeps cycling between some, like “Armentain”, “Davidani”, “Marcob”, “Chrice”, “Jaco”, and the input names, unaltered. Tumblr simply has too few employees with too few syllables in their names to make anything interesting. It was the first thing that came to my mind, but I’m sure you can think of something better. Like Biblical names, dinosaurs or US states (my third try, I got “Alas”).

  • <@cripwalker> that filter girl is, like, her idol.
  • <@cripwalker> anyway, i wasn't giving up. i really believe that channel to be a lost cause, now.
  • <@cripwalker> so she says to me "i'm gonna come over there and beat some sense in to you"
  • <@cripwalker> then she logs out.
  • <@cripwalker> about 10 minutes later, she pulls up in her car, runs into the house, walks in like she owns the damned place, and punches me hard as hell in the arm. no hello, or nothing.
  • <@cripwalker> then she leaves. didn't even say goodbye. i was totally speechless.
  • <@cripwalker> sure enough, 10 minutes later she logs back on.
  • <@cripwalker> she says "i knew you'd see things my way."
  • <@cripwalker> then she asks if she can come over to watch tv...
  • <@cripwalker> i'm sooo gonna marry her!

Sé que en realidad ha sido Virch quien ha escrito el libro, aunque brillen otros nombres. Por eso le dedico esta entrada. urlesque: liquidchroma: (via natashavc) Did they even write anything for the inside?! (They did.) The cover’s pretty accurate, I think.

Sexy = not sexy »

“Especially interesting is the post titled “Online Dating Advice: Exactly What To Say In A First Message.” OKCupid analyzed the terms and phrases in 500,000 “first contact” messages. They found, for instance, that “the worst 6 words you can use in a first message are all stupid slang,” such as ur, r, u, ya, cant, and hit. Using ur will drop the response rate from 32 percent to 6 percent! Another mistake is complimenting someone on their looks. If you say someone is “sexy” you’ll almost halve your chances of hearing back from them. On the other hand, a greeting of “How’s it going?” will boost the response rate to 53%. People also respond well to messages that make it clear you actually read the person’s profile and have something to say about it (using “you mention” in a message increases the response rate to 49%).”

Shouldn’t this be common sense? I use the “you mention” trick all the time in real life. It works even with stuff the other one didn’t actually mention.
