I'm talking about stuff on the Internet! Look! LJ can be a real blog!
Today, I discovered Wikipedia's Bad Jokes and Other Deleted Nonsense pages. And they were funny, which recent indicators suggest some folk might take as a trustworthy endorsement.
Firstly, I draw your attention to what's been preserved as the best of the Popatine entries. I particularly love the way all the photos have been changed to the most beautifully fitting of screencaps and promotional stills. Oddly, it's an educational joke. I didn't know until today that the Catholics have a patron saint of HIV. Next thing you know, Darth Eggs is going to beatify a patron saint of anorexia, complete with a feast day.
Perhaps more fitting is this piece on Cookie Monster:![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
cookielist, if you will. It could even have an appropirate little prize graphic for the recipient of the most cookies for a given week. On this subject, I have a few questions to pose to the collected readership of my journal. These are:

Cookie Monster builds ( suspense by putting the text behind a cut. ) Cookie Monster then adds visual stimulation to his discourse by chomping into a large cookie, concluding his remarks with "Umm-umm-umm-umm-umm" and other chewing sounds.This is relevant. No, really. And it's relevant because today, while busily solving a crisis in which my home was devoid of food, I happened to stumble across a half-baked *cough* idea for a comm - which, knowing my uninspiring luck, someone else has probably invented and made famous years ago. In a move inspired by a blend of the biscuit aisle and Lore Sjöberg's Oral Sex List, I found myself imagining a comm where the near-ubiquitous awards of cookies could be compiled and presented in list format; a
