Welcome to the party, hosted this week at The Skwib. As his regular advice column has been pre-empted for the Carnival, we thought we’d ask General Kang to do the honors and introduce the categories and posts.
Kang’s Picks for the Tutu Brigade:
As you know, I am an Intergalactic Warlord always looking for new talent. I prefer to enlist chimps in my elite Tutu Brigade (they are able to carry off the tutus-and-plasma rifle combination the best, sartorially speaking); however, these bloggers seem to have what it takes to write a compelling entry, so perhaps they are ready for life in Kang’s Army.
Tynan at Better Than Your Boyfriend has a tale of spelunking gone wrong in Exploring Airman’s Cave. Warning: if you are claustrophobic, this may be freak you out. Thag didn’t know what the big deal was all about, but then, he’s a caveman, what does he know?
GrrlScientist tears MONEY Magazine a new one in Someone’s Fantasy World (at Living the Scientific Life). We noticed this survey as well, and thought it was suspect. You go GrrlScientist!
Despite his non-primate form, Aloysius Katz always entertains us here at The Skwib, and this SAT-question-slash-post is no exception: Hairballs are to creativity as ringtones are to Ghana: huhudious posted at Catymology.
We liked the simplicity of this post, and the clarity of the message. Smilerz presents Victory Over Terrorism One Man At A Time.
And to round out potential plasma-rifle fodder, we have Ahistoricality, who is blogging against disablism in this lovely post titled: The Seeing Spouse.
Satire & ‘umor
Mark let me host only if I promised to give satire and ‘umor top billing after my picks. And to mention that The Skwib hosts the weekly Carnival of Satire. He will pay when my fleet arrives!
Wendy Boswell at Snarky Gossip has an edition of Separated at Birth – Jessica Simpson and Orange BoohBah. Unfortunately, Dr. Tundra had a peyote milkshake slightly before reading this post, and Orange BoohBah caused what can only be described as an “explosive” reaction. We’re still not sure what it is — it reminded me of the Tregdolian Ambassador before I had it shaved and fed to my gnarg-dogs, but I’m sure Wendy does not have a faster-than-light starship to get to Tregdolia, so I doubt that’s it.
