• Mancouch declares war on...the BRITISH!

  
  

  
  Hear ye, hear ye: we the people of Mancouch hereby list our grievances against the British pigs who terrorize our land with the foul stench of imperialism and tyranny! We have already declared war on such villains as the Lady Gaga, the Brothers Jonas, and the hideous two-faced she-bitch Hannah Montana/Miley Cyrus; now is the time to confront our old nemesis: England!

• Furries, Furries, Mancouch Comments, and Furries

  
  

  
  I was looking at good sir William's recent post about the New York Mets booking rooms in a hotel at the same time it was hosting a Furry convention and it reminded me of recent Furry related scandals I've read about. They're really quite hilarious. But before I get to them, something a commenter said spoke to me..
  
  just_the_average_jane@xanga.com - It's a bit of a misperception that furries are all pervs who want to dress like animals and have sex.  Like every other group, of course there are a few who get their kicks from it; however, most just view it as a means of socialization/fun (like anime conventions, etc).
  
  Now, I don't know much about furries so I'll take her word for it that its only some furries who view this as an erotic activity. Still, I think it brings up an important point. We shouldn't judge people just because they like to dress up as giant raccoons. Even if it's just to get their rocks off. That's their life and who are we to judge?  More Here...

• On having your underwear show up on the frontpage of the New York Times

  The New York Times caused a sensation when they published this picture of Specialist Zachary Boyd fighting in pink boxers and a red tee (he didn't have enough time to get dressed after his post was attacked while he was sleeping):
  
  

  
  Source: Associated Press
  

  
  I was incredibly touched by Specialist Boyd's bravery... not so much that he was fighting in pink boxers and a red tee, but that the war for him is so incredibly immersive and all encompassing.  So it was shocking to see comments like these blaming Specialist Boyd: More Here...

• Three Classic Bromances

  The Bromantic Comedy has only been a recognized genre for the past few years, due primarily to the rising popularity of movies by Judd Apatow and his band of merry stoners. But long before Superbad or I Love You, Man, there were the original bromances. You could argue that Romeo and Juliet evidences a bromance between Romeo and Mercutio. Even the ancient Greeks were bromantic: while there may have been more ro- than bro- in their relationship, Achilles and Patroclus were pretty darn close.
  
  

  
  

  
  But I'm not concerned with plays, Greek tragedies, and mythology--that's way too academic for a Friday. Instead, I give you three classic bromances from cinema: Some Like it Hot, Diner, and Top Gun. More Here...

• CAWK-BLOCK: The Manifesto

  It's high time someone addressed a problem that has been plaguing mankind--yes, mankind--for generations. That someone will be me, and that problem is the infamous cockblock.
  
  

  
  

  
  This move is, in fact, specific to males: women have no cocks to be blocked, and instead struggle with the dreaded clam-jam. What follows is an in-depth exploration into what constitutes a cockblock, how to avoid cock-blocking, and general rules to follow when the possibility of a cockblock is high.
  
  Before we go into what a cockblock looks like, I'll explain what it is. More Here...

• Baffling Bras

  
  
  A little while ago, a friend of mine came to visit me. She was just passing through the city, on her way to see a guy she was dating. Anyway, she showed me what she planeed on wearing that night, and, well, it was one of the most confusing things I had ever seen. More Here...

• Play Him Off, Keyboard Cat: Billy Bob Thornton

  For those who have never experienced the euphoric joy of Play Him Off, Keyboard Cat, I truly pity you. The site is basically a hybrid between the "cool cat" video and Fail Blog, making each failure exponentially more ridiculous by "playing it off" with a totally inappropriate (not that kind of inappropriate) video of a cat playing...a keyboard. Hence the name, "Keyboard Cat." The funniest videos match uncomfortable, emotional fails with the absurdity of the cat, such as this video of Billy Bob Thornton being a confrontational ass for no reason:

  Well played, Keyboard Cat!
