What We're Google Readering: It's A Candy Blog!
DoktorPeace's WTF YouTube Find o' the Week: "Candy Bra"
We start this week's edition of What We're Google Readering with what will be a new tradition for the feature (as inspired by last week's eye-opening, life-changing "Peanut Butter Man"): DoktorPeace's WTF YouTube Find o' the Week. Today he has provided us with another challenging piece of avant-garde art, which I hope you find daring, insightful, and above all, hi-LAR-ious. To find out more about what we're reading/clicking on the Interwebs, scroll down to the green boxes on our right-hand sidebar!
ShitMyDadSays: I'm not a big fan of a lot of the concept Twitters out there, but this one, as pointed out by Blogulator friend and cohort Katie, is golden. Its title is self-explanatory, but the 73-year-old in question is astounding in his nuggets of wisdom regarding Kate Beckinsale, proprietary toilets, and whether dogs need rubix cubes because they're bored. [Chris]
Televisionary: Ah-ha! This new show's on Showtime, so you can't make fun of Qualler for getting excited about yet another HBO show, DoktorPeace. Laura Linney in a dramedy about getting diagnosed with cancer? Finally, someone's putting the funny back into the word "malignant"! Seriously though, I'll watch anything with high production values and actors that used to be in movies until they finally gave up on winning an Oscar. [Qualler]
Unlikely Words: 2 Girls 1 Cup is so 2007 (or whatever year that was, it mighta been last week, eff if I know), but because ?uestlove is one of the most astoundingly hilarious people in the world (his laugh/scream helps prove this) and they're the only reason anyone stays up for Jimmy Fallon, I present to you The Roots watching the classic Internet porn-meme. Safe for work, I promise. [Chris]
We Got Served: Here's a Minneapolis/St. Paul food blog that's "determined to try all the great food" in the metropolitan area. You know what the best part about food blogs, which I think people who are obsessed with food but never realized it until they started drooling over all the scrumptious pictures of appetizing dishes that I might want to have more than an I-eat-you relationship with on food blogs just discovered in the past 1-2 years is? I forget my question already, but I think I answered it somewhere in there. [Qualler]
Switchblade Comb: Getting higher and higher on my top songs of the year list as the months go flying by is "We Do What We Want To" by O+S, which features former members of Azure Ray (yay!) and Remy Zero (boo!). Luckily, the yay outweighs the boo by approximately a million percent. Here's the video for that very single, full of lush sadcore pop melodies and intricate production to the nth degree. [Chris]
Cute Overload: And here's your obligatory dose of cute for the week - a shot of a turtle eating mashed potatoes, mid-chomp. As directly quoted from Qualler's Google Reader Shared Items note, "Hahahahahahahaha that turtle LOVES mashed potatoes." Precisely, Qualler. Precisely. [Qualler]
Shared Item of the Week: Blogulator friend and go-to tech geek Joe of iJFP shared an item from (surprise, surprise) TechCrunch about California Governator Arnold Schwarzenegger meeting with the head dweebs at Twitter (just around the corner from where Joe lives in San Francisco, incidentally) to discuss how to use the time-waster/shameless-self-promotion tool to, I'm not kidding, help citizens help govern the state. And what a shock, the number one suggestion from idiots on the Internet is to legalize marijuana! Yes, that is definitely what's hurting California the most right now.
