I loved this segment from a recent Colbert Report about the many miniature things that Dennis Kucinich keeps in his pockets:

…the “Every Time Nickelback is Played, God Kills a Llama” group:

I just stumbled across this image file — its original filename was “This is your god”, how could I resist? — featuring still from the cult classic, They Live, starring “Rowdy” Roddy Piper. I should have some friends over for a movie night with this movie and either Escape from New York or Red Dawn.

(There’s something about those Greek subtitles that gives the stills a little extra oomph.)

Here’s the scene where Piper’s character, “John Nada”, discovers that the sunglasses he found do more than just filter out bright light:

“Eat my pork, feel my fork!”

(Apparently “feel my fork” is a catchphrase from TV ads for some food product called “Quorn”.)

Here’s a conversation between me and a co-worker (one with strong authoritarian tendencies) from a couple of years ago.

Co-worker [with great incredulity]: Joey? You have a car?

Me: Yup. I usually bike to work, but I’ve had this car for a while. I have mutual funds, too!

Co-worker: But you’re an anarchist!

I enjoy a “do what thou wilt” moment every now and again, but seriously, “anarchist“?

I was reminded of this conversation last night when I got a couple of emails in response to yesterday’s posting about the all-candidates meeting in my neighbourhood. They asked — probably because I wrote that I’m tempted to vote for the candidate named “Zork Hun” based on his name alone — if I would vote Libertarian.

I consider ranch dressing to be “the dressing of last resort”, but according to this report from the Association for Dressings and Sauces, it’s America’s favourite salad topping and dip. Slate has more in their article on the inoffensive white goo that’s covering salads, chicken wings and pizza crusts all over the U. S. of A..

I normally don’t do celebrity news on this blog, but David Janes told me about this one-liner from the celebrity blog The Superficial that was too funny not to mention:

K-Fed could show up to court with a cage with “baby” written on the side and still end up getting the kids.

I think that this one-liner, coupled with the “breaking news“, calls for a Family Guy clip:
