six foot twenty, made of radiation

I LOVE George Washington. I want him to be the first president of my heart!

You should take a look at Creased Comics, the production company for this cartoon, as well. They’re responsible for other little gems like this:

Recipe for an Oedipal Complex

I don't know what I'm more sickly fascinated by--the fact moment of fruit on veggie softcore porn or the convincingly Michael Bay action scenes. I guess it's okay if a version of Oedipus wants to make you claw your eyes out.

Sometimes the best thing about a blind date is knowing you'll go down in flames

frim the site:

The singles below are real people with real issues. Some are overweight. Others are crippled by debt. Quite a few live with their parents. But they all have one thing in common: They are available. And they've put themselves out there with the hope of finding someone willing to accept them at face value. So, please, scan their profiles. You may not get exactly what you want, but at least you know exactly what you're getting.

The stocking stuffer of psychological scarring

Nothing says Happy Holidays like a photo of sweet little toddlers screaming at Santa. Kick back and laugh at someone else's pain.

Who says heroin use doesn't promote a healthy sense of humor

From the site:

As if you need another reason to love Iggy Pop, the veteran rocker (and his band The Stooges) have the single most entertaining concert rider TSG has ever obtained. The document--all 18 pages of which you'll find below--describes Iggy's requirements in terms of amplifiers, security, lighting, stage set up, and dressing rooms. But unlike most similar documents, Iggy's rider is written in a rollicking, stream-of-consciousness fashion that delivers multiple laughs per page. Apparently written by roadie Jos Grain, the Iggy rider is peppered with witty gems, tasteless asides, and typos. For example, in describing how Iggy's dressing room should be made to "look less like a typical rock & roll dressing room," the rider suggests that promoters "just let someone loose with a little bit of artistic flair...Er, do you know any homosexuals?" Explaining the need for two heavy duty fans, Grain notes, "So that I can wear a scarf and pretend to be in a Bon Jovi video." Also, don't miss the backstage requirement of a Bob Hope impersonator for Mr. Pop. (18 pages)

The most educational video you'll watch today

This BBC series parodies the 1970s "For Schools and Colleges" programs, especially ITV's series "Experiment." Take a look on Youtube for the rest of the series.

One non-sexual Trojan containing a reservoir of seamen

The Chasers War on Everything tests whether in fact we have learned from anything, whatsoever, from history. Answer: not really.

And now for something completely stolen...

You may or may not have guessed by the recent change in subject matter, as well as the six month hiatus, that things are changing here. We here at the Erik Leavitt staff have had a revision of the blog as less narcissistic and more Erikphiliac—all Erik’s interests all the time. We’ll be trying to post links and videos of interest with some frequency as the Erik staff robs mercilessly from the research done by other websites. Come bask in the immorality!

Almost to the stalking stage...

The crush I've been developing for Nellie McKay remains unalleviated by her amazing live performances for NPR. Checkout her acoustic piano work for "Live at Studio 4A."

Fulfulling every BB gun's desire

Maybe it's the fact that I've never really outgrown an angry fire-starting adolescent, but I can't help but be drawn to this striking collection (pun...sort of intended) of high speed photography. Wallow in the beauty of golf club and .22 bullet blowing stuff the hell up via.

English lesson for Japanese Tourists

Thanks to Youtube we have access to even the strangest of videos, including emergency English videos for Japanese tourists. This may be the perfect self-defense video against robbers confused my kerchief placement and terrified of awkward choreography.
