I know most of us are still stuffed from Thanksgiving, but I tried a pie recipe from the newspaper this year and it was really om nom nom, so I'm sharing.

( And then there was Pie and it was good! )

Zac, aka Anime News Network's Answerman, has announced his retirement in the form of an epic flounce.

As a crusty old douchenozzle myself, I gotta say - I LOL'd.

A little Thanksgiving-themed wank for those celebrating the holiday! And heck, I guess those who don't can enjoy it too. I'd like to think of myself as a fair gal.

So Furaffinity, a website for furry-themed art, changed its top banner for the holiday. Rather than the usual theme for these sorts of things like some character chasing a turkey/a bunch of people sitting down to a meal/a disappointed dude watching the Lions lose game number 5 million, they decide to instead go a different route.

Namely by having their two mascot characters laying on a couch looking morbidly obese. On the original artist's upload there are both positive and negative comments along with much proclaiming that their fetish is NOT OK.

Within minutes there are many journals on the subject. Some displaying total disgust about the subject manner while others tell everyone to (pun intended) lighten up.

In one journal the head of the site, Dragoneer, mocks the people who are complaining about the banner: "Thousands of angry furries who can not take a joke are lining up!" He also edits the news post announcing the banner change to have what is supposed to be a link to a forum post discussing the subject, but is instead our old friend the Rickroll. There IS an actual discussion thread in the forums however, with the title "New Banner is tastless and disgusting". The poster of this thread, Rilvor, wants to start a petition to have the banner removed.

Rilvor: "I would like to start a petition to have it removed. That banner makes me physically ill every time I see it. I do not appreciate having such content in this fandom, which I make a point to avoid, thrust into my face."

The thread so far contains five pages of arguing over whether the banner is disgusting or not and people reminding others that it's only going to be up for 24 hours.

ETA: Thanksgiving is over, and as expected, the banner is gone. However journals about it continue to appear!

"All this pissing and moaning about the banner. I like the banner. I don't like the banner. Journals and forums and fucking petitions.

You know what? People in DR Congo and Somalia are being attacked by rape gangs and war lords, their families are being murdered. People in North Korea are starving to death on the street. Massive terrorist attack in India. Etc."

They're all adults now, but all females. So I snagged a couple more eggs hoping for males.

Almost halfway through season 2 of Buffy!

	Security:	Public

I think the theory that Meg over at Cute Overload occasionally posts questionable content just to fuck with her viewers maybe true. Yesterday, Meg posted this video which tells the touching story of a dog who comes to a farm as a puppy and the duck (a male duck named Sheila) who adopts him. Unfortunately, Sheila eventually dies of old age.

That's where it gets weird.

Sheila's owners decide to get the duck embalmed and present the stuffed results to the dog, who is very happy to see his friend again. So happy, in fact, that he knocks her fake beak off. The video ends with one of the owners dragging Sheila's corpse so the dog can chase after it.

( And of course, all hell breaks loose in the comments. )

( You're all horrible people and I'm never coming back here again! )

And then someone reveals that the video was fake, made as commercial for an Argentinian Internet Provider. Their tagline translates to "Internet you talk about."

( This commercial is animal cruelty! )

There's more to the thread, including discussions on the merits of giving ducks wheels, people quoting sketches about parrots who are pining for the fjords, and the vegans also weigh in toward the end.

I'll leave the parting shot to Sara here:

If dragging my preserved body around the yard made my friend that happy, I'd be fine with it.

ETA: Link to commercial fixed, sorry.

ETA 2: The Duck Drags Back: We have more angry flounces!

( Apparently these people missed the comments about how the whole thing was staged and that the whole McKenzie / Sheila friendship was made up. )

	Subject:	S2 Layout Issues
	Security:	Public

Hi, Guys. I know a good many of the S2 themes are kinda hosed right now. Something changed with the LJ migration to their new data center. The Bloggish and Style Contest themes have their CSS hosted at LJ. That's by LJ's design, with how the code is distributed. The code is set to use LJ's CSS proxy to handle the access and display of the CSS settings. Since LJ's move, though, the CSS proxy has been kaput. But the CSS itself at LJ is still working. Until we can find a way around all this, a couple users have a way that you can use the Custom CSS in your customization area to get your layouts pretty damn close to the original for that layout and theme.

You'll enter two sets of code in that area. The first one would be the code from this URL:
http://stat.livejournal.com/sixhtml/themes/common/base-weblog.css

Just go there, copy it, and paste into the custom CSS box.

And the second set you enter will be from the direct CSS URL for your specific theme. You can locate this URL by viewing the source of your journal in your browser (View Source code). If you scroll down to the <link rel="stylesheet" section of the source code, you'll see the direct url to your theme's CSS at livejournal. Go there, copy that code, and paste it after the base-weblog.css code above. Make sure you have "No" selected to use the included base code (it's a dropdown), and that the URL field above the custom CSS box is empty. Click to save changes, and your theme will display much as it is supposed to. There is occasionally an element like a border that doesn't come through, but it's pretty close. As an example of the CSS URLs, this is the one for the Baby theme for the Bloggish layout: http://stat.livejournal.com/sixhtml/themes/lilia/theme-baby.css The CSS URLS will be start with http://stat.livejournal.com/sixhtml with the rest varying by theme and layout. I'll still be looking for an alternative to having to futz with custom CSS, but in the meantime, that method of applying the CSS will get your Bloggish and Style Contest journal themes put back together pretty well. Thanks, Robin

	Subject:	Gay is Bashing!
	Security:	Public

Bit small compared to the past couple of wanks but full of fangirl rage and lulz.

Some information to better understand the wank. In Japan there is an agency called Johnny's that is the major male idol agency in the country. Most of the most popular boy bands are signed with them, one of these groups is called NEWS.

A few days ago a German NEWS fan chyco_chan decided to share scans from a German J-Pop magazine, that is notorious for poor research and nabbing whatever pictures they can find on the net for their magazine, as this time they snagged two pictures of NEWS/Kanjani8 member Ryo Nishikido for an article about gay life in Japan.

In the words of chyco_chan:

BUT why??? Ryo = gay??? XDDDD
That's bashing XD (not even by us sou~ XD)

She then tries to get people to contact Johnny's about the magazine to tell them about it in the comments as she's afraid of being blamed if the magazine goes out of business.

And then cue the fangirl rage and lols at the article in the seven pages of comments this post has spawned.

There is someone that questions the 'calling someone gay=bashing' of the OP but then goes on about homoerotic the pictures are, despite them being, y'know solo shots.

And we have some minor capslocking of rage against other fangirls by bugattack.

Plus rage against the magazine as this would 'hurt' Ryo if he ever saw it from yamapilovergyal.

And many, many 'Poor Ryo' and 'Johnny's should sue' than it's worth counting.

Guess who just finished the first season of Buffy for the first time? \o_

I've never seen it all the way through before. Just random episodes. Now I want fic where Buffy slays Edward Cullen.

Edit: I'm having some MAJOR layout issues. I had to switch off my theme for the moment, just to see my entries. Anyone else having problems?

Entertainment Weekly, the magazine that's been up Twilight's ass for the past several months posted a wanky complaint about the movie "Bolt" which basically reads as OMG I AM SO SICK OF "BOLT" YOU GUIZE. FUCK ABC FOR SHOVING THIS SHIT DOWN OUR THROATS. WHO DO THEY THINK THEY ARE AMIRITE!?

Commenters respond along the lines of SHUT UP, EW, YOU'RE ONE TO TALK WHAT WITH YOUR TWILIGHT OBSESSION. WE'RE SICK OF THAT SHIT, YO.

Doubtful that it'll grow. I can't imagine EW responding to the comments.

ETA and sort of unrelated: Okay, I'm mildly fond of my mom and I appreciate that she passed on her love of reading but ... she reads crap. She thinks Eragon is awesome, big Iris Johansen fan, thought The Host was good, etc. You get the idea.

I'm ... a bad person and I'm thinking of setting her up with Twilight. Just to see what would happen. She likes sucky books and she doesn't have a romantic bone in her body, and really she's sort of a passive/aggressive asshole and I want to see what Twilight will do to my mom, okay? For science. I want to see if she'll throw it at my head or if she'll become a Twimom. Am I a bad person?

I lost it at the fanbrat CCS forum.

What really set me off was the idiot taking my sarcasm and interpreting it as me joining in on the bashing. I mean, WTF? Who the fuck uses "acceptable target" in a 100% serious, non-ironic way?!

Here, pet my dragons. Maybe getting one to hatch might cheer me up.
