Straight Talk Express!


Hello my children! I don't have any real actual biological children of my own (because I use condoms) (and also because women very rarely want to have sex with me) so instead I like to think of each and every reader of SUPERBLOG!! as part of my vast spiritual progeny! How disgusting is that?!? Anyway. People have been wondering stuff so it's time once again (??) for the...

SUPERBLOG!! FAQ

Q: WTF was all that talk about "A New Dawn" for SUPERBLOG!!? Was it all just talk? Did the talk mean something? Was it just talky stuff? Talk?
A: There is a famous poem by Robert Burns that is applicable to this situation:

The best laid schemes of mice and men
Go often askew,
And leave us nothing but grief and pain,
For promised joy!

Q: How many manhours does it take every week to keep SUPERBLOG!! going?
A: Anywhere between 50 and 200 hours. (That's not counting research, of course.) Sometimes up to 400 hours. Once, a single blog entry took almost 1,000 hours to complete. (It was this one.) (Sucker! It totally wasn't. It was this one. Danny just wouldn't stay still to pose for the photo. Eventually we had to just pluck a ready-made picture off the internet.)

Q: Whose side are you on?
A: That would be telling.

(That's a quote from The Prisoner. Did you catch it? A cookie for you! And also you win a bonus question!!!)

Q: When is Patrick McGoohan coming back?
A: Sorry, Patrick McGoohan is dead and never coming back. I know you want him to. We all miss him terribly. But what if you got your wish and he (TWIST!) came back as a zombie?! Rotty and decaying and hungry for brains... Would that really be all that great? Or like in Pet Sematary, all murderous and stuff? It just wouldn't be the same. Let him rot in peace, SUPERBLOG!! says.

DO NOT WANT STABBY McGOOHAN

KoalaCam #45: Prisoners of the Basket!


When children are good, they are rewarded with candy and Pingu DVDs. When children are bad, they are placed in baskets, photographed, and turned into Internet amusements. It's the law of the jungle.

(For added punishment, play them some Britney.)

Let There Be Lankar


Lankar is Swedish for Links. On the Internets.

Today's most important link is unquestioningly Patrick McGoohan Rotating in his Grave when he thinks about the forthcoming Prisoner remake. Sure, could be good. Ian McKellen isn't cat shit. But it's unnecessary, and you know McGoohan wouldn't have liked it. Or maybe he would, admittedly he was an unpredictable kinda guy. Oh, Patrick McGoohan! You died so that the world might live.

YouTube: Budweiser Porn Ad and an accompanying article in TIME, which references a previous ad, Swear Jar. If you haven't seen them before you can see them now, because this is the Internets.

Horror movies in the news! Inside and Final Destination!

Oh noes, I'm afraid those last linx were in terrible taste. Patrick McGoohan would have killed me! Or at least stared angrily at me. I may as well round out this FAILED link post with an article about sexy Nazi bad girls and a picture of a pussy? Wait, those Nazis aren't sexy! I've failed yet again.

Noooooo!


Our greatest hero, Patrick Fucking McGoohan, dead at a way-too-young 80!

You bastards! You should have kept him alive with prayers!



Friday Update: The AV Club has an excellent piece up about P McG's screen persona (which probably mirrored his real-life attitude):
McGoohan faced us in a state of perpetual irritation—sometimes softening to tolerance, more often blossoming into full blown rage, but always with a foundation of contempt for everything and everyone, the fury of a man who judges the world and finds it perpetually wanting.

KoalaCam #23: Patrick McGoohan



I am not a number, I am a free man, but if I were a number I would be 23.
