A Linguistics professor was lecturing his class:
"In English, a double negative forms a positive. In some languages, such as Russian, a double negative is still a negative. However, there is no language wherein a double positive can form a negative."

From the back of the class, a student spoke up:
"Yeah, right."

One of my coworkers has this as his desktop wallpaper on one of the office computers. He has it up specifically to annoy a few of the Bible-thumper members of our staff, and it seems to be working, but I think it's pretty cute. Anyway, I'd like to talk a bit about cheeses.

I like cheese. I like many, many different kinds of cheese. There are some cheeses that I don't like - there are entire cheese families, in fact, that I don't care for. But there are far more that I adore. Here are a few of my favorites (the descriptions have been stolen from various places around the internet, with my editing and some comments added).

( Cablanca )

( Bergenost )

( Rembrandt (Gouda) )

( Petit (P'tit) Basque )

( Pierre Robert )

( Tintern (Cheddar) )

( Black Mountain (Cheddar) )

( Cotswold )

( Dubliner )

Okay, that's probably enough for now.

I want a Kindle. Where did this come from? It hit me out of nowhere. And they're only $140 nowadays. I actually prefer the aesthetic of the Nook, but the Kindle accepts a wider range of file formats (.txt, .doc, .html, .rtf, .png, etc), and the Nook does NOT accept those formats, which is a serious sticking point with me. So I want a Kindle. Hmmph. Don't know yet if I'll give in to this urge.

In other news, Aiko's new body (Aria Doll 14 Years Elegance girl) arrived yesterday, and is delicious and perfect for her. I'm not a big fan of one-piece torsos, but this one works for this particular character and head. The neck is a tad long, and I will have to fix that at some point, but for now I can live with the .7 cm or so of excessive length. Delightfully, her clothes all seem to still fit (or at least what I've tried on her so far does).

In other other news, Williams/Hunter is in the mail, presumably, and will hopefully be here tomorrow or the day after. His tracking number is not updating at all, but apparently that's what everyone's LE dolls from the NY Dolpa have been doing. It seems the accepting PO didn't bother to scan any of the dolls when they took them in, so the numbers are only being scanned once they reach the destination post offices. Go figure.

So, Paramount is being a pain in the ass about this trailer, which was released at Comic-Con. They're threatening to sue anyone who posts it online for copyright infringement, because they've not yet released it online themselves.

Thankfully, the Russians don't really give a damn.

Full-length Thor trailer viewable here.

Fuck yes.

Want to see some awesomely terrible pictures of me? As well as several of my local friends? Check out the Mad Tea Party entry over at Absynthe & Arsenic.

For anyone, who hasn't seen it yet, a "suspected" bank robber tampered with (eg: destroyed) evidence by eating his demand note while the arresting officers were searching him.

Lesson Learned: Don't ever put any of the things you take off of a suspected criminal where the suspected criminal can reach them, even if you're "only setting them down for just a moment."



And, to honor the intarwebs: OM NOM NOM NOM NOM.

EDIT: Thinking about it, I wish I could be on the jury that gets to sit and watch that video in court, as part of the evidence. SO HARD NOT TO LAUGH. Judge would have to call for order. LOL.

Oh, the wonderful things overheard in the Security Office at the hospital. ^_^;;

ME: "You do like the shiny silver ones, don't you?"

TED: "They're fucking pretty! You pull your awesome gun out, and BLAM! The last thing they see is something beautiful blowing their fucking head off!"

------------------------------------

TED: "If I only had that staff!"

ME: "Then you could rip people's faces off?"

TED: "No, I don't have a rip people's faces off spec - well, I kind of do, but it only works with certain classes."

------------------------------------

TED: "Lesbians! First they steal our women, then they steal our soda!"

(Note that Ted has no problem at all with homosexuality - but one of our lesbian coworkers had just stolen his soda. Ted has a...special relationship with his soda. Which is ironic, because "his" soda comes from my locker.)

I'd forgotten how much I love this movie (and the first Ghost in the Shell, too). I'm not a big fan of the original manga by Shirow Masamune, and the Stand Alone Complex series just leaves me disgusted, but I truly love Mamoru Oshii's interpretations of the story and characters. His interest in Hans Bellmer's work becomes really apparent in this opening sequence, for anyone who is familiar with Bellmer's doll photography.

I really need to buy copies of both films, but I just haven't gotten around to it yet.

Reposting this, ganked from nagasvoice, who ganked it from someone else, who surely ganked it from another person, and so on. This is the viral power of the internet. Maybe we can put it to good use today.

Gakked shamelessly from dharma_slut.

"This post is about ladybits!
So in 2004, a woman doctor who had gotten around to doing careful dissections of female genitalia published her findings for the general public.
And Oh My Gods, did she RAWK our world. *raises a toast to Dr O'Connell*

For the first time in human history, the clit is becoming mapped and understood. It's huge! The whole thing - the labia, the interior walls of the vagina, the clitoris itself, they're all part of the same structure.

NONE of these links are worksafe!!

Wikipedia updated its entry just a few months ago. Click on every picture!

This site offers a side view diagram.

And as a bonus, here is a MegaPorn video on oral sex lesbian style - really. ReallyreallyNSFW-really."

I think everyone should see this, whether they're male or female, gay, straight, or otherwise inclined, in a relationship or single. Share this with everyone you know! Gakk the entire entry, my friends, and spam the world!
