Hogwarts Students Were Doin’ It, and You Know It!
Let me lay some truth on you people: the students at Hogwarts, definitely the older ones, were knocking boots all up and down that castle. Maybe not Harry and his pals, because they had other stuff to do, but what about the rest of those 15, 16 and 17-year-olds who weren’t saving the world every week or hopelessly pining after their best friend or their best friend’s sister?
I mean, c’mon, the dormitories were co-ed!
This revelation comes from the boys and girls of Not Literally, I think. At least that’s the name of the person who uploaded it to Youtube.
Alas, if only you could apparate within Hogwarts’ walls.
Thanks to Topless Robot for the find.
6 Best and 6 Worst Female Superhero Halloween Costumes
Women wearing slutty costumes for Halloween has become so synonymous with the holiday that it’s a now a cliche. It’s expected behavior. Thankfully not while trick-or-treating, but definitely at parties. Not that I’m complaining, but ‘slutty’ has definitely replaced ‘spooky’ when it comes to Halloween costumes.
And that’s no more obvious than with female superhero costumes.
The popularity of superhero movies over the past decade has given a huge boost to the superhero costume market. The Internet is filled with pre-made costumes for sale for both men and women from all corners of the comic and movie universes. A lot of them are really good, even comics-accurate. But more than a few have been radically altered to better fit the ‘slutty’ theme. From a comic nerd’s opinion, some of them are quite ridiculous. And obviously the most important aspect of a Halloween costume is accuracy.
NERD!!!
In the spirit of the holiday, I scoured the Internet and found the 6 best, most accurate female superhero costumes, and 6 of the worst, sluttiest female superhero costumes. These were all pre-made and for sale from different websites. Enjoy!
Doctor Who: The Regenerations
Doctor Who.
There are so many bright, pleasant things I can say about this, being English, myself. Fans of Doctor Who are aware that he “regenerates” every few years, replaced by another actor for the show.
Since the first series, with William Hartnell, the Doctor has regenerated ten times. Here they are, compiled back to back. Sometimes silly, sometimes hammy, and sometimes utterly heartbreaking.
The 6 Geekiest Things I Own
This may not come as a big surprise to some people, but I am a huge dork. The condition was really bad in high school, seemed to mellow slightly in college and has now settled into a nice, acceptable level of being a geek. And I’m happy with that. I’ve made my peace with my awkward, dorky state of mind, and an adulthood that’s heavily influenced by video games and Spider-Man. This life clearly doesn’t appeal to everybody, but damned if I’m not loving it. So this list will be a celebration of my geekitude.
And you will never find a more wretched hive of nerd and geekery than my apartment.
No, it's not that bad, and has less Chewbacca
That is to say, my apartment in Rome, New York is filled with all manner of geeky artifacts and memorabilia. Some of it has been collected over the years, and some items were spontaneous purchases that I couldn’t pass up. I’ve got a lot of the items on display just for the sheer geeky thrill of it. I love every scrap of nerdy crap and I thought it would be funny to share The 6 Geekiest Things I Own with everybody.
And yes, I don’t get many female visitors to my apartment. The place could probably use a woman’s touch.
Doctor Whuess and Other Fun
Lazy posting day, for me at least, but randomly stumbling upon two very different but two very awesome Doctor Who pictures requires them both to be posted. Such is the level of my geekery. First is a mashup of Doctor Who and Doctor Suess.
He's just all manner of adorable
The second is a T-shirt that I very much want to buy. You can order it from Shirtoid if you’re so interested.
I love the bow tie. Bow ties are cool.
