Over six months ago, Blogadilla’s very own Chris and I decided to send each other “Munnys” - they are vinyl “paint it yourself” figures that hipsters casually display around their stylish apartments (available through KidRobot). Chris (being a professional graphic artist) and I (having experience drawing on my binder in school) decided we’d each design and paint one and send it to the other - as an “art exchange project.” As most projects go, it took me six months to get around to doing something. I just finished it and it’s in the mail en route to Chris right now. I decided to go with a “Cursed Golden Idol” design - an evil golden monkey demon with an extra eye for peering in to the darkest reaches of one’s soul. When Chris sends me the one he’s working on, he’ll post it on Blogadilla also.

The newest form of terrorism comes to us from the farmlands of America. Forget bridges and planes… I think we need to redirect all anti-terrorism funding to protect our nation’s cows.

Real life or The Onion?

Real! As reported by CBS 5: “…a strange U.S. military proposal to create a hormone bomb that could purportedly turn enemy soldiers into homosexuals and make them more interested in sex than fighting….documents show the Air Force lab asked for $7.5 million to develop such a chemical weapon.” There’s so much wrong with this I don’t even know where to start. Read the full story or watch the news cast here on CBS 5.

I wonder if this idea came about before or after 300?

God help us. A recent shopping expedition with a friend for wedding attire made me want to punch a baby. Now, my friend works out 4-5 times a week, has an amazing shape, and knows what silhouettes flatter her best (in other words; a slinky, bias cut, bombshell dress). We looked everywhere (East Bay, SF, online…). Nothing. The only look available is empire waist dresses, empire waist everything.

Do you know this look?! If you’ve ever been in a maternity store you do. I guess by putting a seam under your boobs it’s supposed to make them look bigger and create some sort optical illusion to hide everything else. But really, there’s no better way to look pregnant. Why wasn’t this f’ing look in style when I was pregnant?! You could be beautiful Jessica Alba, size 1, and still look dumpy in this hideous concoction. And when coupled with those hideous gigantic graphic prints of the seventies, and some ballet flats, WOW, you can really look retarded. Haven’t you always wanted to look like a pregnant ballerina?

Heiress/attention-whore Paris Hilton calls her 5-day incarceration “a life-altering experience.” Within hours of her captivity, Hilton quickly rose to the top of the prison hierarchy after subjugating Cell Block D warlord “Queen Sharina” with a sock full of jewelry. Hilton, who converted to Islam during her captivity, claims “my eyes are now open . . . and I also learned to how to make cute knives from almost anything and how to smuggle a kilo of meth in my *&%$.” Though she has expressed her relief in being a free woman, she says she will miss her “bitchez” back in prison - most of whom were purchased with cartons of menthols or won in knife-fights.

We at Blogadilla are happy for Hilton and her new-found freedom - now she can resume her life of charty work, philanthropy, and searching for a cure for ovarian cancer.

Vecna Technologies has developed a robot teddy bear to rescue troops from the front lines. Okay, I added the “teddy” part - they call it a BEAR (Battlefield Extraction Assist Robot). Beyond walking, it can kneel down and roll using the tread running from its knees, similar to a tank. I’m not sure why they don’t just strap some guns on it and make it fight instead…

Boo-hoo.

According to this AP article, Kathy Hilton told her daughter’s publicist, Elliot Mintz, that “she feels this will be a time when Paris will be able to think and reflect and to spend time alone to learn from the experience because in Paris’ life she’s never alone — there’s always a constant chatter around her.”

Yeah. Basically this will be a spa retreat. ‘Cuz from what I hear, there’s lots of peace and quiet in the joint. It’s like a freakin’ convent.

Who knows. Maybe Paris will learn something from her time in the Big House. But I doubt it.

Remember: Beelzebub is the demon with all the flies, and Moloch is the one you sacrifice children to. I always get those two mixed-up and embarrass myself at cult meetings. DeliriumsRealm is a cornucopia of encyclopedic information about demons. Their Catalog of Demons is a great resource, whether you’re an exorcist or simply supplementing an already vast knowledge of evil.
