Carnival of the Vanities #228: A Carnival Deferred

Is there anything better than watching “Adult Swim” on Cartoon Network? Yes. Watching “Adult Swim” on demand. Comcast recently added The History Channel and Adult Swim to it’s free On Demand line-up and I have watched little else since. Tonight as I prepare the Carnival, I’ve watched two episodes of “The Brak Show“. I already watched the only episode of “Squidbillies“, all the “Aqua Teen Hunger Force Stuff” and one episode of “Harvey Birdman“. A second episode of Harvey Birdman follows. If there were episodes of The History Channel’s “Dogfights” that I hadn’t seen, I might be tempted to watch that instead.

I only wish there were more Squidbillies to watch.

Because I’m watching cartoons, I only have half my mind on the Carnival. That’s probably all I need.

I can’t be entirely sure, but I think The Epicurean Dealmaker doesn’t like the amount of money being paid to corporate CEOs in My Dear Old Mammon. I read it but…Harvey Birdman and all.

On to Sealab 2021, as all the HB episodes have been watched. Bill Trent takes Xerox to task for misleading investors on earnings in XRX: Xerox and the Spirit of Honest Debate.

D.A.N. presents Look at the Human Mind Part2: Perception. Something about perception. I dunno. Sealab.

Mike Billy presents IRS Requires You to List Stolen Property on Your Tax Return. I don’t know if he’s surprised or not. I’m not.

Reminds me of something you might see in Venture Brothers.

Mike Billy also says that Shrooms May Cure OCD. Maybe if I took shrooms I could stop washing my freaking hands all the time. But I am the only person on my team that hasn’t sick in two months. That could also be because I drink four cups of green tea every day. And I run all the time. And I take vitamin C supplements and 1 square of ultra-dark chocolate and drink one glass of red wine every day.

Come to think of it, shrooms could probably fix a lot of things in my life.

I wonder if my car doors are locked. Dammit.

Cody presents Experiment I, or “Introduction to Acid/Base Titration”. I I have to be honest. I didn’t read it. It’s long and chemical.

Wayne Hurlbert says You can tell a lot from the tone of someone’s online writing. Quick! What’s my tone say to you?

Sealab is making me laugh out loud. If you don’t watch it, you should.

Jack Yoest bashes Blue States in Are Children at Risk in Red States? By the way, if you still talk in terms of Blue States and Red States, you should get a life and watch some cartoons.

mom gives Tips for Avoiding Obesity in Kids. Two words: Nintendo. Wii.

Leon Gettler puts together the Stock options backdating jigsaw. Speaking of Steve Jobs, work gave us all iPod Nano’s for doing such a bang-up job last year. It’s my first iPod. It totally blows. Total piece of crap. I hate the f^cking thing. More on that later.

I’m not kidding. It’s a poorly designed, poorly functioning piece of junk. But I do appreciate work for getting them for us. My old work would’ve never done that. Bastiges.

MamaDuck presents Caught in the act… I totally thought this would be about catching her son masturbating when I saw the headline.

GrrlScientist presents One Gene to Rule Them All. Third episode of Sealab. Something about controlling cancer tumors.

    Heh. This was a good carnival. I enjoyed reading this one more than the others, for some reason. Maybe it’s because you only used half your mind? I dunno. I thought it was pretty funny, though.

    Thoughts:
    -iPods suck. Congrats on your first one.
    -Sealab is hilarious.
    -Nintendo Wii is a great way to lose weight and stay in shape!
    -And don’t take shrooms. It’s pretty obvious you’re way too crazy as it is.
    (How old are you? And you’re watching cartoons?? Exactly.)

    Good work on the carny. I enjoyed it. Looking forward to it next week.
