Hugh Jackman does Peter Allen

More Hugh Jackman! If you thought the last video was surprising coming from Wolverine, watch this one. Hugh Jackman does Peter Allen. Enjoy, Erin! :)

Unitarian Jihad

This article about the Unitarian Jihad is a couple years old, but thanks to a pointer from Gannet in the Ravelry chat, I got to be reminded of how amusing it was, and share it with all of you.

Handbags of Horror

Okay, I found this handbag/horror comparison ridiculously amusing. Perhaps it's because I own 1 purse that I use regularly, and even that is generally stuffed into a knitting bag.

Ignorance must be bliss

First, I need to tell you about my car. I'm a liberal, anti-war, pro equal rights, pro GLBT rights Unitarian Universalist driving a 12 year old Honda. It should not surprise you to learn that I have bumper stickers espousing my positions on my car. The most recent addition is a rainbow bumper sticker that says "Celebrate Diversity", purchased from the social action table at a church service one Sunday. So I'm walking back to my car today after doing some food shopping, and from a distance, I can see a yellow sticky note on the driver's side window. It never occurred to me that someone had hit my car, or anything like that. No, my first thought was "I wonder what they thought of my stickers." The note said, and I'm spelling this exactly as they did, "DIVERISTY IS PERVERSITY! - Michael Savage" Well, I hope they were watching for my reaction, because I laughed out loud. Far from being offended, I was amused by the incredible ignorance behind the statement. All I could think was "Cool. I needed a good laugh, and now I have something to blog about." Diversity isn't just a fact of life, it IS life. A word to the wise for the right-wing - just because it rhymes doesn't make it a good motto.

The Sheep Are Phoning It In

I discovered this link on the Idaho board on Ravelry. Funny, a good recycling effort, and loosely knitting related: what's not to love?

Reasons Why I Love Ravelry, #1

#1: The people that run Ravelry have a sense of humor.

As proof, see these three screenshots:


This is Casey's avatar and title. As you might have guessed, Casey is the coder half of the husband and wife team behind Ravelry.


Your search didn't turn anything up? Add some ish.


The new message indicator got messed up temporarily, and showed people as having a new message when they didn't. Since it couldn't be fixed until the nightly update, Casey modified the alert temporarily.

A web site created, coded, and run by real people with a passion for the topic is a beautiful thing.

Amusing ringtone

I was at the diner today, and a woman's cell phone rang. Her ringtone was the Carrie Underwood song "Before He Cheats". Makes me wonder who was at the other end. :)
