I CAN HAS TRIBBLES



Wil Wheaton joined the fray.

From bestweekever: On Monday, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences hosted a screening of Star Wars: Episode IV. To go with it, the Lucas minions CGI'ed up this clip:

Sorry I'm being so prolific today. This is my last post for the day, I promise. :)

Oops!

The Swiss accidentally invaded Liechtenstein on Thursday night but no retaliation is expected.

Guess it's time to make these standard military issue. Reparations had better be in the form of some mighty fine watches and chocolate....

The last time something like this happened, the Spanish ignored an accidental British invasion.

quixotickitten linked to something fascinating. A billboard which says:

“Hi Steven,
Do I have your attention now?
I know all about her, you dirty, sneaky, immoral, unfaithful, poorly-endowed slimeball. Everything’s caught on tape.

Your (soon-to-be-ex)wife,
Emily

P.S. I paid for this Billboard using OUR joint bank account.”

The catch is... the same billboards are in both New York City (Midtown: 54th and Broadway and near Katz’ Deli: East Houston between Ludlow and Essex), and the Bronx (I-95 and Jerome Avenue) and LA (on Sunset Blvd). So this is almost definitely a viral marketing campaign. More here.

That Girl Emily’s blog is here. Amusingly enough, she’s been handing out flyers at Ground Zero and Penn Station with pictures of her husband that say “Lost Dog” for the last day or so. I’ll keep an eye out and see if I can snag one.

quixotickitten’s post has additional links. :)

Ever wonder what would happen if you attempted to send unwrapped items through the mail? This site conducted experiments on what the post office will and won't accept.

Helium balloon. The balloon was attached to a weight. The address was written on the balloon with magic marker; no postage was affixed. Our operative argued strongly that he should be charged a negative postage and refunded the postal fees, because the transport airplane would actually be lighter as a result of our postal item. This line of reasoning merely received a laugh from the clerk. The balloon was refused; reasons given: transportation of helium, not wrapped.
