As much as a backlash against all these cutesy animal photos/videos was inevitable, this blog spouts some exceptionally hi-larious ire in the whole meme’s general direction.

Confession: I just enjoyed a brief but very real moment of pride upon noticing that I had beat Jason Kottke to the punch on two of his postings from today.

An admission that an investigation was necessary, could have led to the necessity that he must pay for my flight—his worst nightmare.

His pre-impregnation demand is that I tolerate his inability to handle my obtaining one of the jobs I have been offered in my field of anthropology. For me to obtain such status would threaten his masculinity. Because I do not accept his impregnation-prerequisites, I have been called a child-hater. He is unable to relate to me and to converse with me in any way. He insists I must chase after him. I prefer to go to work. He therefore classifies me as someone who places career before family. He believes he is doing me a favor by giving me this wonderful opportunity.”

After seeing so many photos of horrendous tattoos posted all over the interwebs, it’s great to see a blog devoted to nerds and their deeply meaningful, exceedingly thought-out ink jobs.
