Barack Obama is TIRED of your motherfucking SHIT - so it seems that Obama's book Dreams from my Father recounts some stories of his friend Ray. And it seems that Ray was partial to the black slang. And it seems that the book has an audiobook version. And it seems that Obama narrated the Audiobook himself. And so it has come to pass that someone was able to cut out audio segments of our 44th president saying “You know that guy ain’t shit. Sorry-ass motherfucker ain’t got nothing on me” and “You ain’t my bitch, nigga! Buy your own damn fries!” and many other great lines.
And that means that people will be recontextualizing this in ways that continue to be funny for a long, long, long long time. (The original source of this is Mike Miliard at The Phoenix, with more mp3s there -- but not the nice little autoplayer doohicky.)
Freecycle is a non-profit organization registered in the state of Arizona, USA, and separately registered as a UK charity,[1] that organizes a worldwide network of "gifting" groups, aiming to divert reusable goods from landfills. It provides a worldwide online registry, and coordinates the creation of local groups and forums for individuals and non-profits to offer and receive free items for reuse or recycling, promoting gift economics as a motivating cultural outlook.

The Recently Deflowered Girl - There aren’t really sufficient words to praise this hilarious, Edward Gorey-illustrated book of manners, "The Recently Deflowered Girl: The Right Thing to Say on Every Dubious Occasion". It absolutely blows my mind that this book was made in 1965, but, of course, the 1960s had their fair share of flagrant sexism and tacit racism.
Maybe it’s the clinical tone that the complete lack of articles affords the prose. Maybe it’s the amazingly coy illustrations or Miss H.P.’s razor-sharp wit. Whatever it is, these are the most delightfully offensive 47 pages I’ve ever seen. The irony level is staggering.

A Diaper Change You Can Believe In - Why, exactly, are thousands of God-loving Spaniards paying almost twenty bucks for Barack Obama to relieve himself in their nativity scenes? Somewhere between tradition and transition lies perhaps the funniest Christmas story you'll learn this season.

Brains and Brawns! A Russian man has just been crowned world champion in the sport of chess boxing. Apparently the idea originated in a French comic strip from the early '90s. In 2003 a Dutch artist decided to bring the 'sport' to life. The 'sport' is played by starting a chess match in the middle of a boxing ring. After four minutes, the chess board is cleared and the opponents box for three minutes. A match consists of six rounds of chess and five rounds of boxing. A match is decided by knockout, checkmate, or points [more inside]

Butt Naked Returns to Liberia to Confess A chapter of world history I never knew about: this guy was basically the Flip Wilson of genocidal maniacs, right down to "The Devil Made Me Do It". The crimes involved are heinous, but the story is disconcertingly fascinating. From the Washington Post, front page of site:
One of Liberia's most notorious rebel commanders, known as Gen. Butt Naked for charging into battle wearing only boots, has returned to confess his role in terrorizing the nation, saying he is responsible for 20,000 deaths.

Scandal and controversy in the world of competitive scrapbooking - Too much to take in: $2.6-billion industry... boycotts... the phrase 'quarter-life crisis'...
An avant-garde Hall of Fame scrapbooker -- part of a movement of 'scrappers who use "loneliness, narcissism and rage" rather than "teddy bear stamps, snowflake stencils and cupcakes" -- is stripped of her title. If this were april-1st I'd think it was a great hoax, but it's in the LA Times. Fake? not Fake? Who knows: enjoyable. [thx kottke] [more inside]
