Axe Cop Proves Children Are Hilarious

In case you hadn't seen it elsewhere, Axe Cop! Written by a 5-year-old! Drawn by an adult! It's amazing.

The Geekery! THE GEEKERY!

This is unspeakably exciting. I'm sure you've all see this, but *I* hadn't seen it and I thought I paid attention to these things.

Plants and Zombies Also Bring Joy to All

Note: There's a lot of anti-zombie sentiment expressed in this music video, and the views expressed do not necessarily represent the views over here at the UU Blog.

(Plants Vs. Zombies - again, I hear good things...but it may interfere with your ability to get to sleep at a decent hour)

Fanciful Reading

Looking for something fantastic and fantastical to read?

May I suggest The Girl Who Circumnavigated Fairyland in a Ship of Her Own Making? It's a web-only story by Catherynne M. Valente, donation-model, and it just won the CultureGeek Award for Best Web Fiction of the Decade.

It's quite good. I think you might like it.

Addams Family Musical

...and speaking of the macabre, I nearly tripped on a grate (high heels! treacherous!) in NYC when I saw the posters for the Addams Family Musical. Yes, I know this is the video for the Chicago one. I liked it better than the videos I found for the Broadway one (plus, same stars. Give me a break! I almost died! In a grate!)

Gray Days are Gorey Days

Someone has put Edward Gorey's Fantod Tarot deck online. Amazing art, Gorey's flair for the macabre, fantastic.

You go, Gorey!

(sorry, Edward Gorey! Much respect! Couldn't help myself!)
