Friday Ephemera
Chicken skin teddy. // Hey, you switched-on kids, it’s Serge and Brigitte. // Colour photographs of Paris, 100 years ago. // Now and then, even SR-71 pilots like to have a laugh. // IKEA self-assembly instructions from hell. // His flash-light is brighter than yours. // That’s not a lightsaber, this is a lightsaber. // I fear a small malfunction may be imminent. // Half-mile-long spider web. // A real-time map of Berlin’s subway system. Hours of fun. // Black fruit. // Ginkgo leaves. // Short story vending machine. // Meanwhile, at the airport. // Give the gift of toilet paper. // A public archive of 10,000 cylinder recordings. Includes The Wedding o’ Sandy MacNab and Girls, Study Your Cookery Book. // Civil War. // Wood block transformers. // This book is a camera. // Above all else.

Darnit! I thought that chicken skin teddy was something you wear (was gonna get it for the wife for Christmas… MUCH better than edible panties. 🙂
Top drawer dick waving by those Blackbird pilots.
I love chicken skin teddy! From Hasbro?
David, as you know, it’s Thanksgiving here in the colonies. I’m trying to find the button to send you leftover turkey. Please help.
And no, I’ve not had too much to drink, thank you.
Chicken skin teddy.
Is it stuffed?

Yes, it’s hard to top. Makes the rest of us look half-arsed, frankly.
And no, I’ve not had too much to drink, thank you.
And why not?
Is it stuffed?
It’d be all “ooh” and “ahh” on Christmas morning, but by the end of the day imagine how much fluff would be stuck to it.

He could cook the chicken skin teddy with that thing.
IKEA self-assembly instructions from hell.
Hard to distinguish from the real thing.
His flash-light is brighter than yours.
I MUST HAVE ONE.
A gold-mine of stupidity and self-regard:

Colour(ed) photographs of Paris a century ago? When Paris wasn’t the vibrant, exciting, multicultural city it now is? Racist nostalgia!
The plot of the next Mad Max movie is being written as we speak:

I feel sorry for the Cessna pilot. He was just tooling along, probably trying to see if his airspeed indicator was working right, and then every clown in the sky had to call in and show him up.

Well, mebbe. But by the time the Blackbird guys weighed in I like to think of him with a grin on his face saying “I got to get me one of these.”

Wish I could find mine…My retinas have gone somewhere.
I feel sorry for the Cessna pilot.
Ehn, I doubt it. After all, He was just tooling along, probably trying to see if his airspeed indicator was working right, . . .
I somewhat agree with Hedgehog, where he was probably cackling his head off as, where as Will notes, . . . and then every clown in the sky . . all got thoroughly trounced by the Blackbird crew . . . .
Oh dear gawd, another one. Someone make it stop!
The spider web thing could be worse: it could be made to be stronger than Kevlar: http://www.sciencealert.com/spiders-sprayed-with-nanotubes-go-on-to-weave-the-toughest-fibre-ever-measured
Yay graphene!

Everything the world has culturally appropriated from the West.

svh nah brah it’s cool, you can’t be racist against white people coz they all racist. And you can steal anything from them coz they jus call insurance to fix it.
I’m actually a member of the community that had a member put up the Blackbird post. The author didn’t really intend the excerpt to go viral, but it rather took on a life of its own, to the point that it’s a running gag. Phrases like “Shulthulhu rises” and “Don’t mention the sidebar” are in vogue: the blog management software brings up “popular posts” on a sidebar, so it’s always clear when it’s obtained a big link, again (again). The site itself is a general cars and offtopic forum that was a formal parasite on Jalopnik until an editorial change left the affiliation much more informal.
