Ow. My brain.

The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock, adapted for frat boys.

At the rager the chicks come and go
Talking about art or something, I don’t know.

And then there's March Madness for nerds like me who couldn't care less about basketball! ;) The Tournament of Books

We aren’t even sticklers about our own rules, frankly. For instance, the TMN/Powells.com ToB constitution explicitly states “only books published in the U.S. between January 1 and December 1, 2005 will be eligible.” The Accidental wasn’t published until January 2006, but hell, the Brits have been talking about it for so long it feels like it was published in 1987. We included it just because we wanted to, constitution be damned. Welcome to the post-Bush/Cheney world, bitches.

All this via bookslut, of course.

Not the most wildly appropriate icon for this post that I have, but it is teh funneh.

That "translation" of Eliot (a) makes me want to re-read the original (b) is frighteningly well done for a spoof--it's actually downright evocative.

It is pretty well done, I was impressed. =)

I linked to the Prufrock on my other blog on the grounds that it needed to be inflicted upon shown to as many people as possible.

See what I get for being cutesy? HTML tags: dangerous in the wrong hands.

Heehee! Yeah, I saw that. It's surprisingly (and disturbingly) good, as Jan pointed out.

That is indeed a great icon!

I swiped it from mathilde. =) There's credit for the creator in the userpic comments.

What does it mean that I have to "Oh noes!!" icons? It means I should clean out my userpics, I think. =)

Oh Noes!!11!! is also available on eBay in sticker form. Ye ghods.
