| December is a time for giving, a time for sharing, a time for making dreams come true, and it is in this spirit that we would like to give the gift of another chance to some of our previous poll contestants, who would've originally had a hell of a lot more votes if frigging Karl hadn't been skewing all our polls for months on end. Let's go!
Poll #428 December Picspam Poll!
Open to: All, results viewable to: AllCHOOSE WISELY!
Okay, yeah, maybe Karl didn't take all that many votes away from People Who Look Vaguely Like Ducks, but still! It's my poll, I'll make fun of Jensen Ackles if I want to. MAKE YOUR CHOICE! CLICKY CLICKY CLICKY! <3 | comments: 9 comments or Leave a comment  |

| That weird phone whatever commercial with the "With a full keyboard you can say LOL the way you'd really say it" makes me laugh because Donna and I? Say LOL.
Only you know, we're in the South so it sounds like, "Lawwwl."
Perhaps we should be unplugged from the interwebz. | comments: 12 comments or Leave a comment  |

| Apparently murdered cop Denny Colt (Gabriel Macht) returns as the Spirit, dedicated to protecting Central City from crime. His archenemy, the Octopus (Samuel L. Jackson), is a ruthless killer who will destroy the Spirit's well-loved city to find the secret of immortality. As the Spirit pursues his quarry, he meets many beautiful women who would be happy to either kiss or kill him. | comments: Leave a comment  |

| Hello members! As you may have noticed, we've been having some... er... technical difficulties here at Hot Daily today, which are totally due to issues that are technical in nature and not at all due to any sort of coup attempts that may or may not have been crushed under the heel of my vaguely despotic stylishly sexy boot. No really!
So with that in mind, let's just set aside those last two posts and move forward in a spirit of reconciliation, for even though this month's poll may have perhaps been slightly skewed in one man's favor, the people have spoken, your voices have been heard, and there was, quite clearly, one hands-down poll winner.
I'm speaking, of course, of Tickybox.

( Oh, Ticky, you're so fine! )
And that's it for this month's third picspam! Tune in tomorrow for next month's poll, which will be full of completely legitimate categories, I promise. XD | comments: 17 comments or Leave a comment  |

Yes, finally! After months of waiting and hours spent hacking Hot Daily, I have finally done it! Karl Urban is no longer a bridesmaid! Now he gets to claim his place as one of the Hot Daily Hotties...even if I had to steal it for him.
Join me on an adventure I like to call the journey ( from bridesmaid to bride. ) Now I think we nee--

| Someone claims to have 'won' NaNoWriMo with 2.5 million words, a feat so fantabulous it apparently requires announcing twice.
Unfortunately, checking out his website reveals that he used a less than conventional technique to reach this count:
In order to compile so many words in such a short time, Leach leaned heavily on the Internet. He generated what he calls a “non-linear literary collage” by mining various blogs, chat rooms and fan fiction sites, grabbing whatever words caught his eye.
“The talk pages of Wikipedia and the reader comments on io9.com were my absolute favorites,” he said. “These are my people. I shamelessly plagiarized their words -- even their misspellings and gramatical errors -- at every opportunity, combining the anonymous messages with recycled content from ‘Marienbad My Love’ and entries from my dream journal. I repeatedly cut and pasted and searched and replaced, transforming the various writings into a completely new and unique literary work.”
NaNoers are Not Amused.
Edited to add my favourite reply from the forums so far:
Plagiarizing other peoples' words is not writing. It's plagiarism, pure and simple, contrary to the spirit of Nano.
Not to mention that your pretense is so thick you could stand on it and not worry about sinking for a good three hours. | comments: 146 comments or Leave a comment  |

| So, many of you have probably heard of this or saw last year's, but I thought I'd share it all the same.
Desert Bus for Hope is a charity event for Penny Arcade's Child's Play charity. It goes like this: They play the most monotonous video game ever, the legendary Desert Bus for a certain number of hours, with the number of hours based on the donations they get. The donations continue while they play, adding more time. Each hour costs more. They have live streams of the bus, the drivers, and a chat where you can talk to them. Every thousand dollars there's a bit of macrospam on the site in celebration.
As of when I'm posting this, they've been playing for almost 22 hours, out of 101 currently paid for with over $13,000 in donations, and have one point, working on 2. Last year they got $22,800 and six points, the world record. They're looking to break both.
It's good fun for us, torturous for them, and hey, if you're going to contribute to the suffering of others, might as well do it charitably.
ETA: Well, they broke the important record. They just broke $25,000 and counting, committed to 110 hours, of which they've played about 64. They haven't gotten more than 6 points though. They keep crashing. | comments: 17 comments or Leave a comment  |

| It's a very, very funny show that's on British TV and is currently in its third season. The second episode aired tonight and I laughed so hard, I nearly broke something.
Here's the link of the new episode.
This has been an incredibly funny series. That there episode? Pushed it into "legendary" status for me. Apparently a lot of other people feel the same way. Just wondering if any of my favourite wankas share this special love? | comments: 55 comments or Leave a comment  |
