Some fun links by way of other quality blogs:


  • "'Wonder Woman? That's not even Marvel,' Obama responded before storming out of the press room. 'Who are you people?'" According to the venerable newshounds of The Onion, purported fanboy Barack Obama is apparently having trouble relating to his new cabinet. [Via LinkMachineGo.] "Added the president, "For the love of Crom, am I the only one here who wants to keep the U.S. technologically competitive?'"

    I found this exchange particularly funny: "Gates told reporters he may have gotten off on the wrong foot with the new president, citing an occasion when Obama asked him what he knew about 1984's Secret Wars, a 12-issue limited Marvel release. Gates then handed a visibly confused Obama 1,400 classified pages on covert CIA operations in El Salvador. Later, the defense secretary attempted to find common ground with Obama by making casual references to the comic book Spawn. But the 44th president reportedly brushed him off with an abrupt laugh, saying, 'no one in [his] administration likes Spawn.'"

    Well, sorry to hear of the dilemma, Mr. President. Perhaps (*cough cough*) hiring some progressive-minded fanboys (fanboy-minded progressives?) might've alleviated the situation...



  • "The electronic signs, which usually warn motorists of traffic detours, instead included warnings such as 'Caution! Zombies Ahead!' and 'Nazi Zombies! Run!!!'" By way of Liam at sententiae et clamores, some enterprising Austin wags hack the local road signs in preparation for World War Z. "The signs also instructed motorists to 'run for cold climates.'" Well-played, y'all.



  • "You are standing in a nightclub. There is a guitar here." Also via LMG, check out the original version of Guitar Hero from 1982. (Yes, text-adventure humor will always get some love here at GitM.)
