6:53am: Calvin & Hobbes religion wank!
The people in the LJ C&H feed have long become annoying -- how in the heck does ANY comic warrant three dozen comments every single day? -- but today they've outdone themselves.

The usual "FIRST!!!1!!" crap starts the thread, but then loveitorleaveit trolls in with what's actually about the 10th post saying "FIRST," and adds that image of Calvin bowing before a cross.

Cue wank. brianmojo snarks back by indirectly invoking Hitler, which really ought to end things right there. "Arguments" over Jesus's skin color ensue. fblaguy insists that Bill Watterson hates all those images of Calvin peeing on a Chevy logo and such. Terrorism in the name of religion rears its ugly head. (Best quote is from mercury_glitch: "but surely it's better to be an extremist christian than an extremist muslim!")

I could keep posting links all day. It's a veritable smorgasboard. But alas, I have to get to work sometime.

Ah, the things people do for wank ...

9:03am: "It's a chance for them to take home something."
Found this one courtesy of fanfic_hate. (All hail the LOTR threads! Praise them with great praise!)

So the Mithril awards have come out, and there is some wankiness. However, this particular wanky whine is coming from a WINNER: granamyr, who wrote several winning or runner-up fics under the name of Zimraphel. She's disappointed that she didn't win more, the poor baby, but the wankiest thing is this:


I didn't win any of the Voter's Choice, but that's okay because most of those winners didn't, as far as I see, win in the judged categories, so it was a chance for them to take home something.

It's nice of the Mithril winners to think of the little people, isn't it?

ETA: Courtesy of the comments, more whining. It was seven awards, not five, and she is SOOOO not affiliated with HASA. Or a whiner. Or arrogant.
