Mock. Mockmockmock. Mockity-mock-mock

1:37pm: Gah
I couldn't resist. Insert something witty about this being my first wank here, kay?

It's tiny -- itty bitty, but it's Harry Potter.

I sometimes flit about the HP sorting communities because I find that sort of thing amusing interesting.  The community in question, hogwartsishome, pretty much sorts all us ordinary muggles into houses by voting on applications of new members. Or something along those lines.  Apparently the Gryffindor people decided to play a little prank on the Slytherins.  No harm intended and I thought it was pretty funny but what do I know?  I'm not officially in the group.  Hey, not every day you see Draco Malfoy with scarlet and gold hair.

Most people get the joke and there is much nudging and "We'll get you back Gryffindor!" comments. A few people are slightly offended, but nothing really over the top... Yet.

Eventually co-mod asahii gets her panties in a twist.  Apparently she wasn't in on the joke (well, she was a Slytherin prefect after all...), didn't find it all that funny and overreacted took it very, very seriously.

There is of course the obligatory "I'm sorry" post.  Most take that graciously, and there isn't much wank there, but meh.  It's early and freshly posted apparently.  It'll probably grow.

Like I said, tiny, but I thought it was funny. ::shrugs::

ETA: Note to self: I have no idea wtf happened to the coding, other than to say that the client I used sucks. :-/

2:40pm: Holiday Foxtrot wank!
Today's FoxTrot is the latest in a continuing storyline about Roger visiting the North Pole on the Polar Express after drinking bad eggnog.

The latest strip refers to the fact that it's too pricey for Santa to employ elves, so he's had to outsource the jobs to the Chinese. weekoldsushi takes offense as s/he is Chinese.

Wank ensues. There are arguments about the Chinese economy, and xellchiri manages to work in a Homestar Runner reference in there.

It doesn't take long before Hitler shows up, courtesy of the OP, and Godwin's Law is invoked.

And the 'best comment award' goes to this post.

But wait, there's more on page 2! littlemiss_pms brings up racism, and is shocked, SHOCKED by the whole thing. And mrs_peabody ties it all together by bringing in some election wank.

Enjoy!

/happy holidays to all!

4:21pm: Okay, this is a tad old, but...
I'm a first-time poster. I checked to see if this was brought up, but it wasn't, and I found it amusing because it's somewhat connected to today's FoxTrot wank.

In Doonesbury last week where disconscious screamed racism about the comic's commentary on under-trained Iraqi guardsmen. She is eventually run off by laughter, a reference to LJDrama, and a short argument on who's the troll: her or everyone else on the feed. Rather amusing, really.
