3B Does Not Endorse Stereotyping

Published by Pinko Punko on July 19, 2011 in *BOOP*, Are we miserable enough yet? and Extra Meta. 11 Comments

But there are some conversations that 3B does not want to listen to evereverevereverever:

1) Two individuals in line in front of us at 7-11 (we are away from The Big Texas Cloverhill Hunnybun)

2) One is taller, one is shorter and very stocky. Quite beefy even.

3) They are discussing, likely quite inaccurately with the clerk, the upcoming Avengers film.

4) The stocky one has his card declined while buying a single item, AXE deodorant.

5) The tall one has long hair.

6) ComiCon starts on Thursday.

7) None of this was made-up.

WHERE ARE 3B THIS WEEK????

CoMEKON would be a different story, wouldn’t it ZOMBIE?

Old school headers will be back, but we’ve just got new ones in for this weekend, for your pleasure.

Start with this comment on Kotaku, then read the followups, and how depressing they are. Note Civil War historians lay the hard truth bare. What super geniuses populate the digital domains of the internets- this is a true golden age.

CONGRATULATIONS ELISABETH BEIKIRCH

Published by Ombolyglomboly on July 2, 2011 in Hug Timer, Merrily We Globalise, Ombudsman Heritage Week, The art of politics and science and Uncategorized. 10 Comments

Here at the Central Ombudsman’s Board of Accession (COBA), we like to celebrate the achievements of our beloved ombudsmen the world over. So a hearty congratulations to Elisabeth Beikirch, the newly anointed “Ombudsfrau” of the German Underwear Ministry for Sneezes. We were present at the, ahem, later ceremony, ritual, and sacrifice, and we can report that the omens were appropriately neutral.

While at COBA, we normally refer to all our members and provisional members as Ombudsmen regardless of sex, the unique institution of the Ombudsfrau has special significance in German culture, in particular the production of the Ombudsbrau, the neutrality inducing drink used since ancient times in Teutonic cultures to ensure even-handedness in judgement.

So congratulations, Ms. Beikirch! May all your ministerial sneezes be unbiased.
