Scare Punch

I guess the lesson here is, when scaring someone, stay out of reach.

Palmtop Bubbas!

The Rise of the Silver Surfer -- Now with More Silver!

Looks like Apple's got a better one online here.

See kids, obeying the law does pay off in the long run.

(And the Thing's still a crybaby.)

The Rise of the Silver Surfer

Just in time for Christmas (okay, one day late) we get a sneak peek at the new Fantasic Four trailer without having to sit through the godawful 'Night at the Museum' -- muchas gracias, YouTube.

As near as I can tell from this poorly lit bootleg video (apart from that it's violating about nine thousand federal copyright laws) is that (a) The Silver Surfer is faster than the Human Torch, and (b) The Human Torch is stupider than the Silver Surfer.

Oh, and the Thing is a weepy little Mary.

Leroy | The Client Meeting

Yeah, this is pretty much how I act in meetings.

Transformers Trailer

You know, this looks a lot cooler than I expected.

It looks like a lot of fun.

Sadie is not a Baby

(Seriously man, don't mess with Sadie. She will put you down.)

Moths are @#&*$s

A species of moth drinks tears from the eyes of sleeping birds using a fearsome proboscis shaped like a harpoon, scientists have revealed. The new discovery – spied in Madagascar – is the first time moths have been seen feeding on the tears of birds.

Man, moths are total @#&*$s, sneaking up on sleeping birds and drinking their tears? That's cold, dude. Ice cold.

Too Late for Christmas

The Nativity of the Awesome

(You know, I used to get into trouble for putting Batman into the nativity scene.)

He knows if you've been sleeping.

He knows if you're awake.

Trapped in Pixel Land

Poor little guy almost makes it out.

Ironically enough, his previous adventure was making his way through a marathon session of Half-Life 2.

He ended up with 137 confirmed frags.

"Shoveling Snow With Buddha" by Billy Collins

In the usual iconography of the temple or the local Wok
you would never see him doing such a thing,
tossing the dry snow over a mountain
of his bare, round shoulder,
his hair tied in a knot,
a model of concentration.

Sitting is more his speed, if that is the word
for what he does, or does not do.

Even the season is wrong for him.
In all his manifestations, is it not warm or slightly humid?
Is this not implied by his serene expression,
that smile so wide it wraps itself around the waist of the universe?

But here we are, working our way down the driveway,
one shovelful at a time.
We toss the light powder into the clear air.
We feel the cold mist on our faces.
And with every heave we disappear
and become lost to each other
in these sudden clouds of our own making,
these fountain-bursts of snow.

This is so much better than a sermon in church,
I say out loud, but Buddha keeps on shoveling.
This is the true religion, the religion of snow,
and sunlight and winter geese barking in the sky,
I say, but he is too busy to hear me.

He has thrown himself into shoveling snow
as if it were the purpose of existence,
as if the sign of a perfect life were a clear driveway
you could back the car down easily
and drive off into the vanities of the world
with a broken heater fan and a song on the radio.

All morning long we work side by side,
me with my commentary
and he inside his generous pocket of silence,
until the hour is nearly noon
and the snow is piled high all around us;
then, I hear him speak.

After this, he asks,
can we go inside and play cards?

Certainly, I reply, and I will heat some milk
and bring cups of hot chocolate to the table
while you shuffle the deck.
and our boots stand dripping by the door.

Aaah, says the Buddha, lifting his eyes
and leaning for a moment on his shovel
before he drives the thin blade again
deep into the glittering white snow.
