Recipe for cooking a cat

Ingredients:
6 table spoons of cowardice
9 Gallons of Stupidity
4 Tea spoons of "ghetto," aka as "Shame of the African-American community"
8 cups of negligent cruelty
1 Two month old cat

Instructions:
First, use all the cowardice and three gallons of stupidity to come to the conclusion breaking into your ex-roommate's flat is a good idea. Next, add the "Ghetto" slowly, making sure to spread it around the appartment for flavoring. Finally, combine the remaining stupidity with the Negligent cruelty and put it, and the cat, into the oven and preheat until the ex-roommate comes home.

New Disease Discovered

The CDC has announced today the discovery of a new virus. The Canadian Keyboard Virus, named for its unusual shape, is transmitted via contact with the North American Beaver. The virus has been contained in Canada until recently, when a Georgia man visiting distant relatives in Manitoba was bitten by an infected beaver. In response to the threat of infection, the United States has closed its border with Canada, and is in the process of forcing native Canadians back to their home country. Details on the severity of the disease are scheduled to be released at a CDC press conference at their Atlanta headquarters later today.

Ranting About Games - Nintendo

Note: This article may or may not reflect the views of the other contributors to this blog. I haven't checked with them.

Personally, it feels like a lot of the games for the DS, and for the Wii to a certain extent, are collections of mini-games. I think that Nintendo is beginning to cater to the tastes of casual gamers to the exclusion of their old-school fans. Tycho from Penny Arcade put it quite eloquently in this strip. "We are rich as fuck. Here's a bunch of shit you don't care about."

It's not that I don't enjoy these types of games from time to time, because I do. The problem I have with Nintendo is the way they've essentially dumped their core audience, the audience who made them what they are, like a back-alley crack whore. As an extreme example, two of the "games" developed for the DS are 100 Classic Book Collection and Personal Trainer: Cooking. These aren't games; they're interactive books.

I would be fine with Nintendo producing these titles, if it were not the focus of their business model.

Raan: The what?

Noodle: The meridian vaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaase!

Shadow Walker: Can you believe this Robert?

Noodle: Hey, man, want to buy some popcorn shrimp?

Raan: By the way SW, big props on the thread hijack.

Noodle: Oh God, that was gold.

Raan: Pancakes are a delicious distraction.

Noodle: Pancakes!

Raan: Cakes of the pan.

Shadow Walker: Dude, I should have never have tried to argue with that fuck wad.

Raan: I love how it was in all caps: THIS THREAD IS NOW ABOUT PANCAKES

Shadow Walker: So I finally had it. I was never going to get the last post, so I took away the idiot's soap box.

Noodle: People like MFT just need to be castrated.

Noodle: And I like how everyone (except, of course, pkb and MFT) actually talked about pancakes.

Raan: Did you see his comment on Oracle buying out Sun Microsystems, Noodle?

Shadow Walker: Oh gawd.

Noodle: OH GOD YES.

Shadow Walker: I felt part of myself die reading that.

Shadow Walker: Oh.

Shadow Walker: They have free food...

Raan: I quite literally facepalmed.

Noodle: :3

Shadow Walker: I mean here at the dorm.

Shadow Walker: Nevermind.

Raan: I love free food. Free anything, really.

Noodle: Did you see his WMD comment?

Shadow Walker: So Raan finally jumped on the train to drag MFT through

Shadow Walker: Auschwitz. Just as a fitting punishment.

Raan: Check this picture out. I fully agree with the caption. http://macrochan.org
/get.py?sha1=RE7JTTKROLHST46SN4BNJORHGANRXU3P&nopop

Raan: I mean, God Damn.

Noodle: =D

Noodle: PANCAKES

Shadow Walker: Nice.

Noodle: You can be the meridian vase.

Raan: So, how's the pie?

Shadow Walker: oh.

Shadow Walker: I've decided.

Noodle: Not bad.

Shadow Walker: I am now the thread bandit.

Raan: Yes.

Shadow Walker: For today... at least.

Noodle: Dun dun dunnnnn!

Raan: Dramatic reverb.

Shadow Walker: I've already stolen my next thread!

Noodle: Orly?

Noodle: Won't work. D:

Shadow Walker: Of course, stealing threads is like stealing trains. The problem with this thread is that they're all over
the god damned tracks.

Raan: Why have we not invented Mr. Fusion yet? It seems like someone should get on that.

Shadow Walker: I mean, none of them are even linked together.

Noodle: Lol.

Raan: Multi-Track Drifting.

Shadow Walker: Pretty much.

Shadow Walker: A theory deemed impossible until the train of tought in that thread started chugging.

Noodle: Hur.

Shadow Walker: It's powered by rage and lulz

Raan: And then it went right over a cliff.

Noodle: HOLY FREEDOM FRIES

Noodle: QUICKLY, ROBERT, RUN!

Raan: Which is when things got interesting.

Shadow Walker: The two polar opposites of the power of internet drama

Noodle: Who drew your avatar, SW?

Shadow Walker: Glaive

Raan: It's a good'n.

Noodle: Shweet.

Noodle: I want to see an artist's rendition of me.

Noodle: Not DD, I already know what I look like in his rendition.

Noodle: Completely insane.

Noodle: And screaming.

Noodle: MOAR TEA

Shadow Walker: Dude, that artist rendition isn't of me.

Shadow Walker: I don't have a "sona"

Shadow Walker: I'm more amorphous than you, like Raan.

Noodle: :0

Shadow Walker: But at the same time, I have characters.

Noodle: I don't know what any of those words mean.

Shadow Walker: Cupnoodle, the guy with the top hat, is your sona.

Noodle: Eh....

Shadow Walker: Yeah.

Shadow Walker: So anyway, if I had to pick a 'sona, I'd probably go with Nefyst for badass psychological freak outs.

Noodle: A youtube troll?

Noodle: Seriously?

Raan: Psychobilly freakout?

Noodle: A short little annoying green guy?

Raan: Anonymous?

Shadow Walker: DUDE! I TOLD YOU THAT NEFYST WAS A REAL CHARACTER

Noodle: No you didn't.

Shadow Walker: ...yes I did.

Noodle: No.

Shadow Walker: Ok, Nefyst is a character in my story who's whole existance is to piss off the reader and add
suspense.

Raan: That explains some things.

Noodle: So he's a narrator.

Noodle: What.

Noodle: See, I'm just like him.

Noodle: :3

Shadow Walker: Basically, there's no real explaination for why he exists, what he's trying to do (his plans have to do with everything from elections to the day to day price of soap.)

Shadow Walker: Or if he's evil or not.

Noodle: I like soup.

Noodle: Corn soup.

Shadow Walker: Yeah...

Raan: Soup is delicious.

Shadow Walker: Sorry. Got too serious.

Noodle: You know, if I had thought about it, I would have a much cooler (and less funny) name right now.

Noodle: I haven't really thought about it, though, so good luck getting one out of me.

Noodle: I hate names.

Raan: Kanye West: Making Mike Meyers Uncomfortable Since 2005.

Noodle: Whee.

Noodle: Everybody knows the halocaust was a lie, so let's sing about the things we like and don't be shy!

Shadow Walker: Do you guys liek fishdticks?

Noodle: YES!

Shadow Walker: What are you, a gay fish?

Noodle: Oh fuck you.

Raan: Pwn't.

Shadow Walker: =D

Noodle: You sound like Dyingfetus.

Raan: ...Que?

Noodle: It's a guy we trolled that only made gay insults.

Shadow Walker: Now, he was like: "BLAHBLAH BLAH, GAY! BLAHBLAH CONSERVATIVE! BLAH BLAH NWO!
BLAH DILDO UP MY ASS!"

Shadow Walker: Oh!

Raan: I'm speechless.

Noodle: My stomach was making the rublies

Noodle: that only hands would satisfy

Shadow Walker: "Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaoooooooh looks like a job for the
baaaaahbulance! Here we see a man, mister xdyingfetusx69 attempting to act like he has balls over the interwebz. In
reality, he's come off as a complete douche who blocks people who disagree with him. He is the common, idiotus-butthurtacus, found primarily on the internet. They feed on their own tears and usually actually seek out things to be butthurt about."

Raan: *Claps like a blithering idiot*

Shadow Walker: Yeah. Doomkitten89 did that too...

Noodle: Llamas...WITH HATS

Raan: I WOULD LIKE TO REPORT SPRINKLE ABUSE WHO DO I TAKE THIS TO?

Noodle: CAARRL, THERE IS A DEAD HUMAN IN OUR HOUSE

Shadow Walker: YELLING IS FUN!

Shadow Walker: WE SHOULD DO IT ALL THE TIME!

Noodle: ALL CAPS MAKE YOU LOOK INTELLIGENT AND MAKES PEOPLE LISTEN YO WHAT YOU HAVE TO SAY!

Shadow Walker: IT ALSO MAKES YOU FUNNY!

Raan: WOOOO! Okay, that's enough. I just saw H. Jon Benjamin in that Budwiser commercial with Conan O'Brien in it.

Shadow Walker: I was in a porno.

Shadow Walker: It was about fish.

Noodle: I was in a porno.

Noodle: It involved cows.

Shadow Walker: I was in a porno

Shadow Walker: *cocks gun*

Shadow Walker: And I didn't get paid.

Noodle: :0

Raan: I was in a made-for-tv porno.

Shadow Walker: =D

Raan: the writing was terrible.

Noodle: I want to watch

Shadow Walker: ((I'm so posting this section of the conversation.))

Raan: Ah, go ahead. I don't give a damn.

Noodle: =D

Noodle: Where's my moose?

Shadow Walker: ((Link censored by oppressive government))

Noodle: Wtf, why does it say noodle gale?

Noodle: That's not on my profile.

Shadow Walker: Noodle Gale: Wtf, why does it say noodle gale?

Raan: Internet. Serious Buisness.

Noodle: It says noodle.

Noodle: My "acutal name" is James Dong.

Noodle: Yahoo sucks ass.

Noodle: OH MY GOD IT'S A FLYING FUCKING WALRUS

Shadow Walker: Raan, I'll call your last IM and raise you one pancake.

Noodle: Or...

Noodle: vampire fucking kittens?

Shadow Walker: The good old days, when it was legal to shoot cats by saying they were vampires.
Noodle: :3

Raan: I'll see your pancake and raise you one Truffle Shuffle. http://www.urbandictionary.com
/define.php?term=Truffle+Shuffle

Noodle: I LOVE THE TRUFFLE SHUFFLE

Shadow Walker: I'll raise you tubgirl.

Raan: I fold.

Shadow Walker: They always do.

Noodle: Lol.

Raan: Through the powers of the interbutt, I have developed the Truffle Shuffle into a powerful attack.

Shadow Walker: Dude, I'm serious. Someone should save these until we figure out some way to show them to the public.

Shadow Walker: You know, after we censor the random mind fuck out of them.

Raan: Sure, I'll archive them for us.

Noodle: FEED YOUR HEEEAAADDD

Raan: I will now demonstrate the power of GAMBIT SCHEMA -> TRUFFLE SHUFFLE.

Raan: Enemy Crab is Confused!

Shadow Walker: Wait... we're still on that?

Raan: Truffle Shuffle needs to be a meme.

Noodle: Tru.

Noodle: Dat.

Shadow Walker: Go, Sexual sexual harrasment panda!

Shadow Walker: Wait...

Noodle: Terastas kind of won the thread in the Obama thread, besides the whole pancake thing.

Shadow Walker: yeah.

Shadow Walker: Ter kicked ass.

Raan: Fuck yeah.

Shadow Walker: Mostly because the Reps had no idea what they were talking about.

Shadow Walker: I think he admitted I helped before the thread jack.

Noodle: Derp!

Raan: And according to the rules of the internet, pkb lost by mentioning that thing he mentioned. Y'know, Godwin's
Law.

Noodle: :3

Noodle: Mmm.

Noodle: Bacon.

Raan: Mmm, Juicy Fruit.

Noodle: Where's my moose?

Raan: Munchin' on walnuts.

Noodle: You win.

Noodle: Was the whole joke that they would end up in the moose's mouth?

Raan: I accept this award not for myself, but also me and I.

Noodle: Or that it could eat walnuts?

Raan: I think the joke was that the kids were terrified by it eating walnuts.

Noodle: Or just Dib was.

Noodle: "Gir! GIR! Release the monkey!"

Noodle: ...

Noodle: "MONKEY!!!"

Shadow Walker: "I love you."

Noodle: "I'm gonna eat a rat!"

Raan: "I made waffles!"
