My friends, in the spirit of the season, I present to you a Christmas carol. The lyrics are Not Safe For Work. If you sing it, which I recommend against, please do so to the tune of "O Christmas Tree," which is the song upon which it is based. And, even before you begin, I apologize.

It's Christmas, Bro
It's Christmas, bro! It's Christmas, bro!
Don't ice me now. Fuck. Yolo.
It's Christmas, bro! It's Christmas, bro!
Don't ice me now. Fuck. Yolo.
I'm spending Christmas at my Mom's.
Quit texting me pics of your dong.
It's Christmas, bro! It's Christmas, bro!
Don't ice me now. Fuck. Yolo.

It's Christmas, bro! It's Christmas, bro!
Sheila left me, she's a ho.
It's Christmas, bro! It's Christmas, bro!
Sheila left me, she's a ho.
With mistletoe belt buckles on
Let's go hang out on Derek's lawn.
It's Christmas, bro! It's Christmas, bro!
Sheila left me, she's a ho.

It's Christmas, bro! It's Christmas, bro!
You know I love you, no homo.
It's Christmas, bro! It's Christmas, bro!
You know I love you, no homo.
My family is a bunch of dicks.
Let's drink eggnog until we're sick.
It's Christmas, bro! It's Christmas, bro!
You know I love you, no homo.

It's Christmas, bro! It's Christmas, bro!
Turn your ball cap frontwards, yo.
It's Christmas, bro! It's Christmas, bro!
Turn your ball cap frontwards, yo.
What the fuck's your problem, bitch?
Show some respect for Santa! Shit.
It's Christmas, bro! It's Christmas, bro!
Turn your ball cap frontwards, yo.

Fëanor pours the entire internet into the Recyclotron, and only the best links come out the other end for you to enjoy.

• Gifs from Bonniegrrl: two sets of Empire Strikes Back gifs, Metropolis, The Young Ones, Sir Giles of Buffy, and... yeah, I don't know what's going on here.


• Speaking of gifs, here are some unspeakably cute ones of a wombat and a cat and his boy.


• A tiny Santa hedgehog. Eeee!


• Awesome photo of awesome dogs.


• I deeply love this hateful cat.


• Scientists are working on a new RNA-based vaccine that could wipe out the flu forever. Amazing stuff!


• The Max Fleischer Superman cartoons are pretty fantastic, and you can now watch them all on YouTube, legally and everything!


• More cuteness for you, straight from the source (Cute Overload).


• Partly as research for my novel, and partly just because I like them, I've been reading tons of fairy tales and folk tales lately. So I was kind of excited to see that a big-screen, Hollywood adaptation of Jack the Giant Slayer was in the works. But I should have figured that in the process of creating such a thing, they would have added all the typical big-screen, Hollywood trappings to the story. Corny catch-phrases, lame love story, overwhelmingly huge action set pieces, bombastic rhyming prophecies, tons of special effects. Oy. This trailer is just gross.


• Homemade cardboard Star Destroyer!


• I particularly love the second piece in this Super Punch art roundup.


• I really love the sweet and funny Darth Vader and Son by Jeffrey Brown, so it's pretty cool that he's doing a sequel called Vader's Little Princess. There are even holiday-themed downloads!


• I never got into Lemony Snicket, but I've heard great things, and we do have a book we really like written and illustrated by Jon Klassen, so I'm curious about this book that the two of them are collaborating on, The Dark.


• I'm fascinated by devices like this for some reason: a lamp that tells you the weather by recreating it inside your house. (No, it will not actually make it rain.)


• Andrew W.K. has been named the U.S. cultural ambassador to Bahrain. FYI. So they will be partying hard there soon, I assume. UPDATE: Somebody somewhere apparently realized this was kind of a crazy idea and cancelled the whole thing. The world is a sadder place now.


• Ironically, the most frustrating thing about watching this collection of the craziest fake ads from movies is all the real ads stuck in between.


• Holy crap, you guys. NASA is working on a faster-than-light warp drive.


• How to make a fairy room in your house. Awesome idea.

Fëanor pours the entire internet into the Recyclotron, and only the best links come out the other end for you to enjoy.

• If you have not been to the Windows 95 Tips, Tricks, and Tweaks Tumblr yet, you are missing out on something seriously disturbing and hilarious. Here is a representative sample.


• Pretty cool collection of GIFs highlighting the major characters from Return of the Jedi.


• Speaking of GIFs, I still deeply love flux machine. A couple of vaguely recent entries. That long, anxious moment as you wait for the GIF to do something creepy might be the best part.


• 72-year-old grandfather models women's clothes for his granddaughter's clothing line. Pretty bad-ass.


• Great redesign of Darth Vader.


• Here's an idea for a new James Bond film: Idris Elba as James Bond and Tom Hiddleston as the villain. All kidding aside, that would be amazing.


• Some great classic monster movies got redesigned posters on Reelizer lately. Here's The Mummy, a couple of Frankensteins, and an Invisible Man.


• You probably already saw this amazing photo floating around somewhere or other (like on any or all of my social media platforms). But have you seen the Spockified version??


• Brad Bird was forced to confirm on Twitter - numerous times! - that he is not directing Star Wars VII. Ah, well. It was a lovely dream while it lasted.


• Heh.


• Maybe people will finally wake up to the dangers of climate change when wild coffee starts going extinct? What a horrifying thought.


• Pretty amazing photo. And they went to a lot of trouble to get the shot, so worth a click.


• Fun toy roundup on Super Punch. Tis the season and so forth.


• Reimagining Snow White as an anarchist.


• A Stardust the Super Wizard action figure! There's a Kickstarter to make this a reality.

Fëanor pours the entire internet into the Recyclotron, and only the best links come out the other end for you to enjoy.

• I enjoy my friend's Tumblr and its many gifs. Celebrating Ian McKellen, cat being funny, one of the greatest scenes from Clue, a hedgehog, George R.R. Martin being a dick, a statement of principles, and the cutest thing ever.


• I also am a big fan of io9. They've got clips from the special features on the Princess Bride 25th Anniversary release, an essay on the good and bad and in between of time travel stories; and a weird set photo from what will no doubt be a very weird movie, Darren Aronofsky's Noah.


• I guess the all-woman Expendables is going to be a real thing, because Gina Carano just got cast in the lead role.


• A wonderful new Wondermark.


• Twitter repostings! The toaster that burns the weather into your bread (conceptual only, sadly), and clips of David Lynch's guest appearance on Louie.

• YESSSS new Broship of the Rings! Eowyn slaying the Witch-King and Thranduil and Legolas. Also, have you been reading Noelle Stevenson's Nimona? It's good stuff!


• Speaking of Lord of the Rings, GeekDad got some fun details on the upcoming LEGO game. I'm a little disappointed that it will stick closer to the movies than the books, but not too surprised. Anyway, it still sounds pretty awesome.


• I tweeted this a while ago, but good enough for a repost: somebody illustrated scenes from an imagined Harry Potter prequel focusing on James Potter and his buddies.


• Here is video of an SUV getting struck by lightning while driving.


• I like the T-shirt featured first in this Super Punch art roundup.


• A poster for one of the greatest movies never made, Jodorowsky's Dune.


• Some very neat art involving fantastic beasts by Chris Applehans.

As a follow-up to this post, I present some ideas for new, more honest McDonalds advertising slogans.

McDonalds. What else are you gonna do? Cook?

McDonalds. Can you actually afford anything better? We didn't think so.

What else is here? Sbarros? Ugh. Guess you're going to McDonalds!

Life is naught but soul-crushing emptiness and despair. So what the fuck? Might as well go to McDonalds.

• A couple of dudes are drawing their favorite LEGO sets from childhood. Cool idea! (Via)


• Fun Frank Frazetta fan art! Fffff!


• Nicolas Delort does some pretty amazing illustrations, including some inspired by Harry Potter. (Via)


• Basic Instructions covers both sides of the old Star Wars vs. Star Trek debate.


• It's technically a commercial for a car, but this amazing video also features slow-motion footage of said car crashing through glass and breaking giant water balloons, so...


• Apparently Ryan Reynolds is going to be the new Highlander. Hmm.


• This illustration roundup features a catbus!!! Auto-post!


• The guy who made that pretty amazing Super Mario Crossover online game is Kickstarting something similar involving original characters.


• The new Penny Arcade game sounds good! I need to play those at some point...


• Speaking of Penny Arcade, they have a comic and a news post that do a great job explaining why the Diablo 3 real money auction house makes no damn sense.


• This is a pretty wonderful story.Pretty great Joust illustration.


• Heh.


• The UK trailer for Looper! The director himself warns that it's a bit spoilery, though, so consider carefully before watching.

Fëanor pours the entire internet into the Recyclotron, and only the best links come out the other end for you to enjoy.

• New Hark! A Vagrant!


• A panda enters.


• There a whole lot of blogs involving artists redrawing/reimagining other art, but... well, here's another! It's a series of artists redoing all the character portraits from The Official Handbook to the Marvel Universe.


• One of my favorite artist/bloggers, Noelle Stevenson, has launched her fantasy web comic Nimona. It's pretty good!


• The very last Life In Hell strip was recently printed. Never really got into this strip too much, but definitely feels like the end of an era.


• This guy is redoing Blade Runner as a series of watercolor paintings, which is insane.


• A teaser trailer for the Monsters Inc. prequel, Monsters University. Looks like fun!


• A few drinks while you're pregnant is not going to permanently damage your baby. There's science now to back this up. So let's all calm down just a little bit.


• Here's a trailer for a movie called Prototype, which is about an experimental robot going rogue. Or a human being who turns into a robot? Or something? Looks neat.


• Apparently the best predictor of how well a movie will do at the box office is online buzz.


• There's going to be a Sesame Street movie! Who knows how this will turn out, but I'm cautiously optimistic.


• Apparently Hobotopia did a series of Lord of the Rings-related comics. Nice! The 2000th entry of that strip is coming up, which should be fun.


• Hey, Sin Titulo started updating again.


• The ISS re-cut The Avengers.


• A chart explaining the evolution of the alien as described in Prometheus. (Spoiler alert!)


• Crazy video of a dude killing bosses in Diablo III in ridiculously short amounts of time. Like, he polishes off the Skeleton King in less than a second. (Via)

• I found this amusing.


• RDJ kitten!


• A common sight in England.


• A pretty wonderful story from the making of Toy Story 2.


• Another top ten list of movies from io9, this time dealing with time travel. Some great picks here! My only real quarrel is with Time Cop. That movie is just terrible, dude.


• The star of the upcoming Suspiria remake.


• ABC is still planning on airing Guillermo del Toro's Hulk TV show! But apparently the Punisher TV show is kaput.


• How about a shot-for-shot remake of the video for The Beastie Boys' "Sabotage," starring a cast of all kids?


• Here are some pictures of Superman with a duck on his head.


• I bought myself Diablo III! Haven't played it yet. This dude did a 5 hour, 35 minute speed run already. That's just sick.


• Want to watch 60,000 dominoes fall over in ten seconds?


• The first official photo of Johnny Lee Miller and Lucy Liu as Holmes and Watson in CBS' upcoming updated Sherlock Holmes series Elementary. Hmm. Lots of plaid!


• Some cool upcoming Marvel comics covers.


• I enjoy that there's a Tumblr devoted entirely to shots of people eating in Law & Order.


• Here is a penguin wearing a penguin backpack.

• Hey, so this is cool. It doesn't really seem to signal any major change in policy, and it is coming a bit late, but still: the President said he thinks gay marriage should be legal. It's a step. A nice, big, symbolic step.


• That comedy special that Louis C.K. sold on the internet for five bucks, thus altering the universe, is airing this weekend on FX - in an edited form, of course.


• Kind of an unfortunate time to have a lawsuit going against the Beastie Boys. Apparently the boys will be okay if they have to settle, though, seeing as how their records are selling like hotcakes.


• Speaking of the Beastie Boys, here's a cool mashup of them and the Beatles; it's called the Beastles.


• Argo looks/sounds like a pretty amazing movie. Here's the trailer. It's based on a true story about a CIA plot to sneak some Americans out of Iran disguised as the film crew for a movie that didn't exist. They even brought in Jack Kirby to do some concept art.


• Ron Howard, at least, still thinks there's a future for his Dark Tower movie.


• That's some bad-ass stuff right there.


• Apparently a German art student has hand-illuminated and bound a copy of The Silmarillion. Looks amazing.


• Here's the cover of Warren Ellis' next book, Gun Machine. Looking forward to it.
