Welcome to the gobbler version of the Carnival of Satire. We didn’t receive many submissions this week, so we have stuffed this issue with a mix of the few submitted bits of satire, parody from the nuts on our blogroll and a few tasty nuggets of irony from bloggers at humor blogs.
We begin with this savory piece by the Electric Writer about the dangers of writing while drinking copious amounts of coffee. By the way, beer can also cause one to be toilet enraged.
If you haven’t graced your palette with some of the exotic fare at Ration Reality, then you are in for a treat, especially if you also think that Shirley Temple is Creepy.
Over at Point Five, they were shocked — shocked — to discover a dude enjoying a chick flick, but this is just a sign of the crisis of gynemovia sweeping North America.
And if you needed further proof of this crisis, look no farther than Hurty Elbow, who blows the lid off Phireblanks, the male contraceptive.
Mental Mosaic is convinced that James Watson has had a big scoop of jungle fever.
The Prezel has breaking news about the Hollywood Writers’ strike that you should not miss on this day of thanks.
This demonstration of a Venn Diagram, by Mr. Sun, while not holiday-related, is quite helpful.
And while on the topic of diagrams, you may find the wedgie-vs-fashion Venn at the brilliant blog, Indexed, a pinch.
What are those kids up to? Have they found makeup?
Blog D’Ellison has a satirical tour of art history with this 100-word take on Dali’s “The Persistence of Memory”.
And finally, we hope you have a much less harrowing feast than these folks: Dinner Guests Survive Unsolicited Tour of House.
And that’s it for the gobbler edition! If you have some satire to share, please consider submitting to the next edition. Thanks to these fine folks for helping us with webby-stuff: the Blog Carnival for their form; and the listings at the Ubercarnival, and at the Blog Carnival too.
Haha, I had no idea anyone ever linked to Phireblanks. Thanks!
It was a hilarious idea (in my mind) that fizzled.
