The Cuddly Menace

resistance is futile !

the author:
"...I looked to the children's book rack and there spied the title 'My Little Golden Book About God'.

Now as anyone knows, my interest in life's headiest metaphysical mystery has led me on some strange journeys; from the highest mountain peaks of Peru to snort crystalized alpaca urine with an Incan shaman to the sewers beneath Istanbul to read 900-year old grafitti scrawled by the heretical Saint Phoqallyall. Having found no theological resolution in these rarified encounters I have left the door open to the chance that sublime truth may be found where I least expect it.

So it was with genuine anticipation that I opened the book, curious to know what the people at Little Golden Books believed small children who stick Beeferoni up their noses could absorb about the Inscrutible One.

You cannot imagine my horror, however, when my eyes met pages filled with saccharine, pastel artwork depicting cold-eyed androids that were clearly not of our realm. In a Beautiful Mind moment of schizophrenic clarity I saw the book for what it was: not a gentle introduction to life's most profound curiosity, but a primer for the parasitic offspring of an invisible invasion!

For the safety of our race (if any still remain) I have translated this book in the hopes that a resistance may arise. Read the baby powder-scented Final Solution of our enemies from beyond, otherwise known as:


My Little Golden Book About Zogg "

The URDB


the Universal Record Database
the definitive site for human achievement

URDB is an evolution of a Burning Man theme camp created in the summer of 2004

from their about-section:
"What world record are you capable of setting? We believe every person on earth has potential to be the world's best 'something'. URDB's mission is to become the database where all such achievements will live.
...
The general guidlines are simple: every record in the database must be
a) quantifiable, b) breakable and c) legal. If you want to set a record for, say, 'Fastest Time Eating a Banana While Standing On The Great Wall of China and Wearing A Purple T-Shirt', go for it. Creativity is highly encouraged.
"

including videos and photos of stuff like:

- Most Pairs Of Underwear Worn On Head At Once (16 pairs) link
- Furthest Distance To Throw A Vinyl Record (
81 feet, 11 1/2 inches) link
- Most Air Guitar Windmills In 30 Seconds (79) link
- Highest Tap Dance (5364 meters) link
- Most Peanuts Smashed With Forehead In 15 Seconds (26) link
- Longest Distance To Shoot A Rubber Band Using Feet (216 inches) link
- Most Armpit Farts In 30 Seconds (105) link

and so on...

got the drift?

feeling challenged?
go for it!

good night and good luck!
