Star Wars Day: the best thing ever

Did you really think we'd get through May the 4th without me posting my most favourite thing ever? Silly, silly humans. WARNING: Yes, of course there's swearing.

Best Game of Thrones song ever. Today

Adding monsters to thrift store paintings

This is my favourite thing of the day. Twisted Sifter has a collection of paintings by Thyrza Segal and Chris McMahon, who enjoy putting the occasional monster in the middle of thrift store paintings. Here are a few examples. First these two by Thyrza Segal:

And these two by Chris McMahon:

Best short horror flick ever. Today

It's a teeny-tiny Buffy reunion. Warning: some foul-ish language and cartoon gore. Via io9.

Three grandmothers watch the Kardashian sex tape

This is clearly the best thing ever. So, we may just as well roll up the internet and put it away because nothing will ever be as great as this. HOWEVER, you should be WARNED that even though it's bleeped, these three delightful ladies DO talk about explicit sexytime and if you don't want to hear that you shouldn't click play. Mmmkay? Good. "She's just laying there." Hah. Via Buzzfeed.

Star Trek: 56 episodes at the same time

So, you know how I just posted an hour's worth of Avenger's press conference, thinking some of you would have time to watch it all. Unfortunately, you're going to be busy watching 56 Star Trek episodes starting right now, so that's probably not going to work out. BUT! This really is a time saver, because this compilation let's you watch them all at the same time. And that means, if you get through it with your sanity intact, you'll have 55 hours to do something else. (Thank you Garnet).

Best thing ever. Today

You must immediately go to The Burning House and look at the photos submitted by readers who have given a great deal of thought to what they'd try to save if the house was burning. Here are a few examples.

This woman is a Tourette's super hero

Jess Thom has Tourette's. She's talking here to the great Stephen Fry about how she deals with it. I suppose there should be a warning for foul language. But, if you're offended by someone who can't control what she says then you're probably not a reader of this blog anyway. (And, speaking of Fry, isn't QI om TV here?)

The Avengers ca. 1978

And while we're roaming around that particular era, here's a photo from Victoria's Secret 1979 catalogue. No airbrushing and real breasts. And, for some reason, needlepoint.
