Venture Brothers marathon update, and some links

[dougo]

The Venture Brothers marathon will be tomorrow (Saturday), 2pm, my place. Sorry for the short notice, but there appears to be a critical mass already. (But more are welcome, just let me know).

Meanwhile, some miscellaneous links for your Friday entertainment and edification:

From jwz, A New Pope: a video recontextualization of last year's Pope ceremony in a sci-fi setting. I guess this is kind of old but I hadn't seen it before.

From static_zombie, Kevin Smith ambushes Joel Siegel, an audio clip from the Opie & Anthony radio show. Apparently Joel Siegel acted like a butthead during a screening of Clerks 2 and Kevin Smith calls him up to yell at him, on the air.

From markdominus, a request for oyster jokes. Got any good ones?

From memegarden, An editorial from Christianity Today in favor of allowing a Wiccan pentacle on a soldier's grave. According to the article, there are approved religious symbols for atheism and humanism. Anyone know what they are? Update: Wikipedia has the full set of symbols.

Who came up with that "Athiest" symbol? I hate it! It looks like it says "I worship atomic power!". And the Humanist symbol isn't much better.

I wonder if not having a symbol on the tombstone is a legal option? That's certainly the one I'd prefer, if available.

Move closer, dammit, the marathon sounds fun.
