Carnival of the Vanities #16

It’s that time of the week. The moveable feast known as Carnival of the Vanities is now appearing at The Eleven Day Empire: Carnival of the Vantities #16 – The New year’s Resolution Edition, Redux.

Yes, But Could We Make It More Stupidy?

E-mail from Sgt. Grump:

“Someone on the B5 newsgroup asked JMS about the status of his secret “Polaris” project that he’s been working on for some time. This was his response…

On Polaris…we got down to one of three projects of which one or two would be greenlighted for production. It went down to the wire, but finally SFC decided that the premise of Polaris was a little too science fictiony, when they were looking to go for ideas that had more immediate mainstream appeal. So even though they felt that Polaris was the best written of the projects they had in development, they went for a project about intergalactic (not interstellar, intergalactic) vampires called “Bloodsuckers.” It is, to be fair, one of those concepts that, when you hear it, you get it, there isn’t a lot of background needed.

So… the “Science Fiction” Channel turned down the project because it “was a little too science fictiony”. And then they picked up a project about “intergalactic (not interstellar, intergalactic) vampires”.

There is no justice…”

You said a mouthful, Grump.

Power to the People and Stuff

“The anti-hardcore freak has become a quasi-political statement of irony.”

Get your very own statement of principle at the Insta sentence generator for the obnoxiously hip.

[ via Mordant Carnival, who’d like you to know: “The anti-Punk scene has become a redundant case of the 60s–which already happened.” ]

Ayuh, They Blog in Maine Too

In case you didn’t notice, I love to link. I have four blogrolls full of great bloggers for your perusal (five, counting the reciproll). That is, until today.

Presenting the latest blogroll: Maine Bloggers!

Yes, I freely admit that I am an expatriate Mainah from Bangor (not Banger, fools!). But you know what? It’s hard finding them. Florida bloggers are all over the place. I get to pick and choose the niftiest morsels. With Maine, I had to scrape and dig to find some. But as any good Downeaster knows, it ain’t worth much unless you work for it. So, the results of my efforts are most excellent representatives of the Pine Tree State (even if most of them are “from away”).

Irony…Like Goldy and Bronzy Only Made of Iron

After the umpteenth idiot calling me a book-banning proponent of censorship, I added the following to the Banned Books List:

NOTE: The comments I make are extremely silly examples of book banning logic. They are not serious. I didn’t think I had to point this out, but apparently some people don’t grasp the concept of sarcasm.

Oy vey.

E-mail Issues

For some reason, I can’t send e-mails today. Coincidentally, I received a message from the ALA postmaster that a message I supposedly sent was infected with klez.

If you are expecting a message from me today, don’t hold your breath.
If you weren’t and got one, delete it.

Sigh. Juvenile delinquents.

Update Uno: Web mail is working fine. Maybe it’s a Bloggerzone hiccup. I’m not paranoid. I know they’re out to get me…

Update Dos: All is well. It’s a miracle. God be praised. The author of the previous parts of this post has been sacked.

Lord, What Have I Done?

I just submitted a rambling entry to Blogwhore 2. Curse you, Christine Selleck.

This will turn out badly, I fear.
