Gingerdead Free Candy and Paper Frogs

Gingerdead Free Candy and Paper Frogs

by Amelia G : June 23rd, 2008

gingerdead free candy</p>

The talented Calan Ree, whose Gingerdead & Friends comic strip I have mentioned here before, wrote about gathering paper frogs this week. According to Calan Ree, paper frogs are these partially translucent, pale, flat, dehydrated amphibians. The frogs apparently get flat from the absence of moisture and not being run over, so recent rains may have washed away the paper frogs which could normally be found in Calan Ree’s neck of the woods this year.

According to Calan Ree, paper frogs are seasonal and normally could be found this time of year. Her searches for them, perhaps due to the weather, proved fruitless. While hunting, she was, however, approached by, not one, but two creepy guys. The first one rolled up on her in a van and asked her if she wanted a ride. The second guy asked for directions to the nearest schoolyard, despite

How To Have a Nonconformist Evolved Intellect

How To Have a Nonconformist Evolved Intellect

by Amelia G : June 22nd, 2008

critical thinkingSince 1992, Blue Blood has been about encouraging people to think critically and not just go along with the herd. My hair is purple and red at the moment. But the hair color is a signifier, not the endgame. What I mean by this is that all of us who fought the battle to convince the world that someone with primary-colored hair or tattoos could be beautiful or sexy, we can all pat ourselves on the back and go home, if that was all the whole thing was about. That battle is won. But the point is that the physical appearance was supposed to be about being a maverick and living on your own terms, about marching to the beat of your own drummer. If mohawks become trendy, then having one does not necessarily signify that one is a nonconformist. You can still aesthetically enjoy very tall hair, but the most important body part in the battle against conformity is slightly lower — your brain. You need to have an evolved intellect to avoid being a bah bah sheep conformist.

I’m about to tell you all the most important lesson of a liberal arts education and it is not even going to cost you a hundred grand or whatever higher learning is priced at these days. I was less enamored of the lessons I learned in school, while I was paying off the tab, so here is the most crucial stuff for free. My parents certainly deserve most of the credit for my brain, but my education really helped ingrain some of their lessons.

In order to have an intelligent and human approach to the world, you must learn to be analytical and think critically. Some people are born more or less disposed . . .

Does Anyone Know if Blue Blood Superstar Hottie Jennifer from the Nuns is Okay?

by Amelia G : June 21st, 2008

Jennifer NunsSo I was chatting with my pal Anders from the band Anders Manga yesterday. I had just been looking at some snapshots of us partying together at a Hollywood hotspot just off Hollywood Blvd. When I say Hollywood hotspot, in this instance, I mean a place variously called White Lotus, The Ritual Supper Club, the local bus station, etc. where A-listers like Mark Wahlberg can go to bang porn stars cast for the next season of Entourage on HBO. At any rate, I’ll post the pics shortly and add a link, but Anders and I were just talking about this and that and he asked if I had heard from Jennifer of The Nuns recently.

Descended from Welsh royalty and initially known as Jennifer Miro in the earliest 1970’s incarnation of The Nuns as a seminal punk band in San Francisco, Jennifer steered the band in a more gothic direction over time and was variously known as Jennifer Anderson or Tiffany Tarantula or Maitresse Jennifer. The Nuns were huge in San Francisco and opened for bands like The Ramones and The Damned and were even on the bill for the very last Sex Pistols show. Jennifer also had a role in Dr. Caligari, the seminal cinema of transgression film from Stephen Sayadian and Jerry Stahl, who were also responsible for Cafe Flesh. However, Maitresse Jennifer or Mistress Jennifer is probably best known to members of the Blue Blood boards as the Blue Blood hottie who asked all the most interesting questions about love in the kinky tumultuous world of fame, wealth, and rock and roll.

[13:10] Anders Manga: hey have you heard from Jennifer? from nuns?
[13:10] Anders Manga: she vanished?
[13:11] AmeliaG: not in ages. I was in pretty regular contact with her, so I wonder if she got married or sex murdered
[13:11] Anders Manga: i heard her friend in the band was murd

SuicideGirls Bizarre Sex Site Lawsuit

blueblood.net — Strange tale of a model getting sued by a sex site, raising money to fund her lawsuit against the sex site that she claims duped her, then settling the lawsuit and raising more money to fund her legal defense by getting people to sign up for the sex site again. I want the normality of R Kelly’s lawsuit – this is too hard for me to follow.–Amelia G

Encyclopedia Dramatica

I think I like Encyclopedia Dramatica better than Wikipedia. On the rare occasions I look at anything on Wikipedia, I generally get so sad that I can’t make art for days. But I was just shown a mention of myself on Encyclopedia Dramatica and was amused by it. I think it is because Encyclopedia Dramatica admits what it is and Wikipedia pretends to be something it is not. I feel I am being utterly fair and even-handed, but it is still funny.

Blue Blood takes on the “settlement” with conspiracy theories and lulz. If you only read one of the articles, read this one. Amelia G is busting Philip’s nuts harder than a whore in need of crack money.–Amelia G

And the meta-journalism award for funniest title on an article about my legal beat coverage goes to Gram Ponante for:

Report: Altporn world angry that drama is going away

>The copyright fight between the photographer Lithium Picnic, his partner, Apnea, and their former employer, the site Suicide Girls, has been settled, Lithium Picnic says.

But the rancor created in the months-long fight, in which people took sides for or against the famously-litigious “altporn” company, doesn’t just dissolve because Lithium Picnic and “SG” are friends again, partisans say.

If nothing in the above two paragraphs makes sense to you, if you just now figured out that “Lithium Picnic” and “Apnea” are actual people, and if uttering the name “Suicide Girls” only leaves an unpleasant aftertaste of steveporn, you are as in the dark about this group of people as I am, and you should instead go to Blue Blood.net, read this story, and come to your own conclusions. Then explain what happened to me.
