Too much serious today? Check these out.
The Washington Post inadvertently publishes my online dating profile with the editor’s notes still included. Thanks for the link, Rebe!
I like big butts and I cannot lie, but is there some evolutionary reason as to why?
First page of my book: What do you think? (Amazing for DFW fans out there) (sorry to ruin the joke).
Zoopreme Court you are so cute. (via the Hairpin).
Steven Colbert you are so cute. (Also if you are not following his Sen. Kyle tweets you are missing out).
Oh man, I am going to put a serious damper on things now, but my favorite zoo animal OF ALL TIME has passed on. Currently, I am in a state of shock and denial. He was only four years old! How could this have happened?! I need to go now, but look at this little guy OMG he was so cute :-( :-( :-(
[Back to your regularly scheduled Serious].





Bah, who needs Knut if you can have Heidi: http://www.spiegel.de/fotostrecke/fotostrecke-63535.html :)
I think Kyl is never going to get over this. When he dies, it’ll be in his obit.
I waited in line for TWO HOURS at Zoologischer Garten to see Knut, and that diva Eisbär refused to show his adorable self. I forgive him, of course. RIP, du Bärchen.
So sad how that guy who took care of Knut died an early death – and now Knut has died an early death and it’s just, well, unfortunate. And sad. Did I mention sad? Because it is.
Stephen Colbert, on the other hand, has made me a happy.
In honour of Knut, here is Mitch Benn’s quartet of comedy songs from the BBC Radio 4 topical comedy the Now Show. The last one made me cry: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wAevzokv7o0
It’s really sad that Sen. John Kyl murdered Knut in his adorable polar bear sleep, just like he plans to murder all the kittens in the world next month.* :(

I want to share something! (If that’s okay.) If you haven’t seen them already (they’re pretty old and I just discovered them because I normally don’t watch collegehumor) collegehumor has a couple of videos about the unbelievable harassment and crude hostility faced by girl gamers from boys–in which they reverse the roles to show a scenario in which men would have to deal with this kind harassment from women. They are kind of hilarious.
*Disclaimer: By no means do I believe women harassing men is any kind of solution. But if you know what it’s like to be a girl gamer (I’m actually not a girl gamer but my friends are and I’ve seen the shit they go through) you’ll understand the sentiment.
That was pretty awesome.
I can’t bring back Knut, but maybe Mr Shuffles could help fill the void. He’s a baby elephant (well, teenager now I guess) who was diagnosed dead in utero but came out alive against all expectations. He’s very cute and has his own blog & twitter account.

think i might have a comment in your spam bin, which explains my contextless comment above
Thanks Jill! Your links are always so amazing, you’re like my second favourite person on the internet.
P.S. First = Stephen Colbert. I LOVE HIM SO MUCH RIGHT NOW, it is embarrassing. :(
Best video ever.
