It always bugged me that the Imperial Stormtroopers in Mos Eisley just took Kenobi’s word at the checkpoint. No, I mean, I get the bit about the Force clouding minds and all. But surely even the Force is not enough to cloud any self-respecting Stormtrooper’s comprehension that an Artoo unit may be a robot, but is certainly not a fucking ‘droid at all!
Anyway, I present without further comment a design suitable for T-Shirts:
Coffee shop, West Los Angeles.
Angry Guy: You can’t pass a law to take away people’s guns and claim it’s to make things safer. The only thing that stops a bad guy with a gun is a good guy with a gun.
Other Angry Guy: Yes, that’s why we’re passing a law to only take away the bad guys’ guns.
AG: How do you know who the bad guys are? It’s not that simple!
OAG: Exactly! So let’s discuss the topic like adults, and drop the kindergartener’s vocabulary of good guys and bad guys.
AG: Don’t insult me, you arrogant son of a bitch!
OAG: Then raise the fucking discourse to an adult level.
AG: I’m not going to sit here and argue with a goddamn communist!
We had a Hack o’ Lantern this year, who responded to tweets, tweeted jokes, and “accidentally” revealed it’s plans for world domination.

For the World Domination Plan, I needed some artwork, which I hereby inflict upon the world.

I received a mysterious email, in Chinese, at an account that’s not generally known nor guessable by bots. Not reading nor speaking Chinese, I had to rely on Google Translate.
I don’t know why, but someone in China is evidently sending me avant-garde poetry:

My maternal grandfather was a paleontologist of some note, yet it was no small surprise that L— broached the subject upon the occasion of my recent visit.
L—, a colleague from former heady days in the dot-com era and now a Web 2.0 millionaire in her own right, has used some of her new-found wealth to indulge in her original academic interest, the study of 8-bit Paleontology. In what was a rare honor, L— permitted me to view her private collection.
This collection, housed in the Library of her estate, is a well-lit room, dominated by the mounted skeleton of a contemporary Homocongregus namco. Surrounding this modern skeleton, she has a splendid display of fossils of some of the great precursor species, including Homocongregus dotovorus and Homocongregus arcada.
Today, however, she was pleased to show her latest acquisition. Opening a velvet-lined box, she revealed to me what is arguably the world’s best example of the immediate ancestor to Homocongregus namco: a gorgeous fossil of Homocongregus Phasmaprosecutus preserved in stone for all eternity in the very act of consuming a row of equally well preserved Pacdotus powerupi. It is truly a stunning piece, worthy of any great museum, and incontrovertible physical record of the evolutionary path of the species.
She kindly allowed me to photograph this specimen, thus I am able to present this image to share with the world, and contribute to the greater good of science:
