Mine is currently ranked #6 out of the 20 featured there, with an average rating of 6.5 out of 10. Surely it’s worth more than, that, don’t you think? Have these people no sense of humor? You have to register yourself on the huffingtonpost.com site to vote, if you haven’t already - but that’s easy. I did it, and and it took only a couple of seconds. Quick update: My venn diagram moved briefly into the Top 5, but then fell back into the No. 6 position again! So please, if you haven’t already, click here and rate it a “10.” If we can just boost the average rating by a couple of 10ths of a point, it’ll be back in the “Top 5” featured on HuffPo again. Come on, folks, let’s do it for Tumblr pride!

katiebakes: Illustrated!! They probably went with that cover because basset hounds are more appealing to buyers than punctuation marks are. I mean, who would want to buy a book with a big colon on the cover?

sarahheartburn: misterhippity: cajunboy: Seriously, I feel as though I’ve just struck found gold coins in the pocket of an old pair of jeans. You should do a test, like that old Selsun Blue commercial … “The left side is tingling … but the right side isn’t!” Whatever, honeychile, but don’t let anyone talk you into Dr. Bronner’s Peppermint Soap. You have been warned. Actually, I just remembered that the commercial wasn’t for Selsun Blue - it was for Denorex. No wonder I had such a hard time finding it on youtube!

mikehudack: evangotlib: thegongshow: Surface of Mars (Via U or Arizona) I just changed the background image of my blog to a picture of the surface of Mars. More at The Big Picture. These are amazing images.  Click through to see them all.  Going into space would be so awesome. We need to retire the Space Shuttle and, potentially, shut down ISS. We need to quickly finish work on the Shuttle replacement program, probably the Ares. And, I believe, we need to establish a base on the Moon. Why a base on the Moon? Because it will provide excellent practice for Mars. Both because it will give astronauts and NASA experience in colonization and because it will prepare the public for a proper Mars mission. Nothing in the space program can possibly be more exciting than a permanent human presence on a celestial body. A Moon colony will galvanize the American public and the world. And then we can proceed to Mars. This is our calling as human beings. This is our calling as Homo Sapiens. We must spread our genome among the stars to prevent an extinction event. We must explore. We must colonize. It is our destiny. Just as Europeans once conquered the Americas we — all humans this time — must conquer the stars. “We must spread our genome among the stars to prevent an extinction event.” Prevent one … or cause more of them?

Looks like IMDB’s descriptions of the first two episodes of SpongeBob Squarepants are a bit more … concise than its description of the third episode.

"Logan got eliminated, said 'thanks for everything' and walked off the runway. Then the judges called him back and made him walk off the runway again. Then they made him go put on his shiny gold pants, come back, turn around and walk away again. Hey, they didn't let him hang around all this time for nothing!"

Here are a few of my favorite comments from last week’s Project Runway live blog:

Really, Irina? You think there are people there who don’t deserve to be? Funny, you haven’t mentioned that in the past.

GonzoMaz
Holy Christ..The Family Circus is edgier than this!

Mr. T Is The Lion King
Oh, Goodie, another Gordana backtory! How she escaped mighty Serbia with the blood of smurfs on her hands.

Helio
Boring backstory! Drink!

Old Ocho
“It doesn’t go as planned.” What else isn’t new, Chris?

paul7777
Designers, i’m excited by the potential for disaster.

Brian Moylan
I love that Irina has dragged Althea into her black hole of miserable bitching …

Spirit Fingers
Wow, this is like listening to Becky at the pep rally talking about why Broc is such a mental fuckwad. Like gag me.

If this JunkFoodie guy on match.com doesn’t have a girlfriend by now, he needs to cancel his subscription. I think he’s been in their commercials for the last three years.

swedishcouscous
I think the producers forgot to mention something to the designers:
mean funny = good tv
mean boring = third grade

jann9884
Okay, Heidi can’t criticize anyone’s style until she takes off those awful shorts.

GonzoMaz
Gordana! Mention your cancer…oh wait… wrong show!

An exclusive sneak peak at tonight’s Project Runway episode (from the DVD lifetime sent me): Christopher’s new hairstyle … well, there are no words, really.

Project Halloween: Per my request, several participants in Gawker’s Project Runway live blog sent me pictures of their halloween costumes. Clockwise from top left: Brian Moylan as performance artist Klaus Nomi; Lizawithazee as the goddess Athena; katekate is squared as Snidely Whiplash

Other people who also got book deals who we are crazy-proud of: FOYM Sheila McClear, with FOYM Soft Skull Press. Mazel, She.

This is just the beginning. It’s only a matter of time before the movie deal arrives.

Comhghairdeas, Sheila. Maith thu!

"Fabio gets the thankless job of playing the show's 'host' and interviewing the others. This means he has to ask them stuff like, 'Hey remember dat time you act like beeg asshole? Why'd you act like dat?'"

Can any Yankee fans and/or baseball afficionados out there explain to me why C.C. Sabathia is wearing these baggy-ass sweatpants out there on the mound tonight? Did he spill something on his regular pants and have to send them out to the cleaners or something?

Freed from both immediate motive and the insecurities of status that led many first-time bloggers to adopt a tone at once combative, hyperbolic, and self-consciously folksy ("just bloggin'"), Crain simply sets out, in stately middle-style prose, to explore and record those efflorescences of cultural life that catch his eye, a life that rapidly comes to include the act of blogging.

Do you remember your pre-combative/hyperbolic/self-consciously folksy days? I don’t.

Is the phrase “efflorescences of cultural life” an example of “stately middle-style prose”? If so, God save me from the stately middle!

If I ever start to write that way, please, somebody, just find me and shoot me before I can type another word.

I think it’s worth noting that Caleb Crain, the blogger being referenced in the n+1 piece, doesn’t seem like the type of writer who self-consciously tosses out $10 words like “efflorescences.”

Duly noted. I just found it ironic that the writer doing the referencing mocks insecurity-driven writing habits while simultaneously describing the efflorescent qualities of cultural life.
