3:04pm: HP Plagiarism/False Identity Wank!
Let me just preface this post by saying that I'm not 100% sure WTF is going on here...
ladyanabelle appears to have been outed as (a) being a plagiarist and (b) not who she said she is. There is supposedly an entry in her journal, under friendslock, that gives her side of this story. Since I am not on her friends list, I can neither confirm nor deny this.
Many other* people, however,
comment about it in their journals.
Um, yeah.
ETA: FYI: It looks like the first 2 links above have been made Friends-Only.

3:24pm: Who will speak for the digisubbers?
One Piece fans are probably aware that kaizoku-fansubs produces a better-looking, more complete sub than some commercial subbers.
Sweetest_savage is here to speak up for them. Even though, you know, no one's arguing with him. Tiny, but amusing.
As a background note, if K-F is getting a lot of emails, it might be because they deleted every single post to their forums about One Piece being licensed, which only caused more people to post not knowing there were posts before.
6:05pm: Vintage faux wank, pseudo-intellectual style
This is several years old, but it's such a gem that I just have to share.
mrgoat of
Kuro5hin satires literary critics who take everything too seriously by writing a very serious literary critique of... the Power Puff Girls: "
An In-Depth Anaylsis of the Cultural Ramifications Evidenced in the Powerpuff Girls". Not only is this a fun read by itself, but mrgoat also gets into an argument with
Fluffy Grue over
whether Bubbles is a dumb airhead or not, but done in the style of two stuffy literature professors debating over the more obscure points of Kafka's stories, rather than like rabid fangirls:
In the concept of identity.
Bubbles spends most of her time sitting in a daze of action about her. She doesn't really know herself because she does not think about it.
I believe there are many zen masters who would indeed disagree with you. I find your condemnation of the zen philosophy deplorable. Bubbles knows herself better than all others, for two primary reasons:
- She does not need to think about herself to know herself, her knowledge is intrinsic, and as such is the truest form of knowledge, and:
- She is the sole perciever of her complete being. Whereas others may know her externally, only she knows the full truth of her being.
It is through her calmness and purposeful blankness of mind that she can truly understand her condition.
What you term naieveness is not naieveness, but an unwillingness to look farther than is needed. Her understanding of the world around her is most sublime simply because she knows better than to read too deeply into the people and events that transpire around her.
Tee-hee!
10:13pm: Keeping it real in the attic, yo.
Fellow Wankers, we've been lied to.
Not only did one of the literary world's greatest figure did not, as we all thought, die in World War 2, but she kept a Livejournal and now, by the power of the Internet, we can read it in all of its forty-seven sweet delicious levels of wrong and glory.
http://www.livejournal.com/users/annefranksdiary/The wank and resulting spooge, I think, is funnier then the LJ itself. Fans of the LJ are clashing with anonomyus flamers and people asserting that the Holocaust never happened.
The spooge is rising. My friends, we could have another CrystalWank here.
