a thaumaturgical compendium

Remaindered links, the amusingly creepy edition:

• Rats like to be tickled, and laugh when they are.

• Considering a career change? Have a contagious smile? Looks like an old friend is recruiting. I can’t be there, but I think my brother might be in town… I doubt this guy is.

• America’s Army, already a creepy, if fun, idea, is stepping up the creep factor with a an arcade version. The game “includes a significant amount of authentic Army videos and other information designed to immerse the player in the Army culture.” Except, you know, the blood. Because that would be icky. I suggest two improvements. First, you should ask those who get high scores for their home phone numbers, so that a recruiter can call. (Come on, haven’t you been watching any movies?) Second, if they could partner with Diebold, they could come up with a dual use voting/gaming machine! They need to stay ahead of the curve if they want to beat out the rival game-makers.

• Contortionist 50s farm girls singing about potato salad. And some creepy old ads as a side.

• Way old, but: 99 rooms.

• Who knows what evil lurks in the hearts of men? The shadow knows?

• Kermy goes necromancer.

• Can you give me a hand with the baby?
