To wrap young minds around the quanity of 100, Wendy pulled together everybody’s Playmobil figures for this parade of sorts.

I hate how well I remember this commercial.
Also? “8 Hour Perfume” sounds like a threat. Or, a shitty math rock band.
Peter Sellers on the Muppet Show
Wonderful, weird, and indicative enough of Sellers’ personality to make it to his wikip page:
Sellers was reticent about discussing his private life. On The Muppet Show (season 2), in a “backstage” chat with Kermit the Frog, Sellers declined to step out of character, explaining comedically he had “no real me,” as he had it “surgically removed.”

Introducing the Fireland Podcast!
In this episode: Oscar Fever! (Note: Some crude language.)
Joshua Green Allen writes the funniest Twitter on all of Twitter. And now, he makes the hands-down best podcast on all of Internet.
It’s like 2 minutes, which is perfect for stupids.
Digital Overload Is Frying Our Brains
Haven’t read this (interesting-looking) article yet. But I will stipulate that this is the most disturbing image I’ve ever seen without the influence of acid.
Amazing. Jeez.
Highly Sensitive Coaching for Highly Sensitive Souls & HSPs by Jenna Avery, CLC
“CLC,” I have now learned, is a suffix that means you are a “Certified Life Coach.” And, in this instance, this is a lady who is a life coach for people with “sensitive souls.”
If you are concerned that your sensitive soul may not be “working for you,” Ms. Avery will be happy to provide a “free online assessment.”
Seriously, you guys. Stop pretending you’re not highly sensitive. It’s fucking unseemly.
allmusic ((( One of the Boys > Review )))
The problem is not with Katy’s gender-bending, it’s that her heart isn’t in it; she’s just using it to get her places, so she sinks to crass, craven depths that turn One of the Boys into a grotesque emblem of all the wretched excesses of this decade.
I haven’t heard more than a couple seconds of anything in Ms. Perry’s oeuvre (and thus don’t have a personal opinion of her work).
But, I will say that this is one of my favorite sentences to come from Mr. Stephen Erlewine. I wish all his reviews worked the back muscles this hard.
Sony Releases New Stupid Piece Of Shit That Doesn’t Fucking Work | The Onion
I can’t wait to get home and spend my whole fucking night trying to figure the goddamned thing out.

I’d never really thought about few cellists move around while playing.
USC TITLE 51: Little Squares of Truth
As enacted, my “Truth in Avatars Act of 2009” may mean a lot fewer sexy cartoon characters and a lot more Baron Harkonnens.
I know, I know. You love Lord of the Rings, or some German model in a bra, or some fucking Manga thing I’ve never heard of. Tough. It’s the law now.
So, please take a minute to paste a sweet new avvie of Walter Hudson into that chill pro.
Because, Gandalf: this year’s about change, and it’s about hope. But it’s also about compliance. And that starts with graphically acknowledging you’re not really a German model in a bra.
