By Whose Authority?

Good times on Wikipedia! From the entry on McDonaldland:

hamburglar

The Hamburglar’s primary dialog was a continual muttering of “Robble, robble, robble.”

A “Hamburglar” is defined to be one who Hamburgles or commits the act of Hamburglary- the thieving of ham and/or cheesburgers. Ex: “I think the Hamburglar stole my Big Mac, call Ronald!”. Ex2: “Where are my burgers? Darn, I have been hamburglarized.

This is, of course, pure liquid awesome. But would it be wrong to tag the definition of “Hamburglary” with [citation needed]?  What does the OED define “hamburglary” as?  Google?

Also, big ups for leaving the hyphen off “ham”, changing the meaning of the sentence to imply that he was stealing ham. Ham is delicious! It’s not bacon, but it’s close.

Post-election links having (almost) nothing to do with politics:

  • This Fucking Election captures all the catchphrases of these last two brutal years.
  • Tim Schafer’s bizarro life presents him with a semi piled high with cement caskets, and he has the good sense to blog it.
  • We Bleed Design: Very clever interplay between foreground and background imagery; scroll down for the win.
  • Writer’s strike? No problem; Annie Hall with all dialogue stripped out is still a super-hilarious picture.  And while the study of any one Woody Allen credit roll would suffice, The Art of the Title Sequence appreciates a broader style.  Several are better than their films deserve.
  • There’s an ultra delicious burger waiting for me at Hodad’s in Ocean Beach, CA. I must possess it…
  • Chilling on-the-ground images of the town of Chernobyl, which still has a couple hundred residents. Slogging through page after page of empty-shell communist apartment buildings makes the last page of the gallery all the more poignant, as you see snapshots of the town before the disaster–full of happy children.  It’s like a Jerry Bruckheimer opening sequence in reverse!
  • Japan continues to amaze as they deliver Kewpie Mayonnaise, which comes in a plastic bottle (okay) in a plastic bag (WTF?!?)  Frivolous packaging FTL.  And it has MSG.  BTW.  Also, please enjoy hilarious and inventive bento at Wackyfun Food Art Time.
