Blog of the Week

Yep! It's much anticipated return is now upon us!

This one is an oldy be a goody. We here at Milkcrate HQ fully advocate the writing of clever notes in place of open, honest communication. Just the other day I was thrilled when I found a set of missing chopsticks under Jake's desk while he was out. Gleefully, I scribbled a little post-it note and left it on his laptop - "Jake, why are my chopsticks under your desk?!". Ahhh. The sastifaction was almost too much!

We're also particularly fond of the passive aggressive Facebook status updates, like 'kant we all just chill wtf', 'awkward' and this.

So for those into clever notes and passive aggressiveness, get yourself over to www.passiveaggressivenotes.com and enjoy.

The Bish is Back

If you're interested in Irish philosophy or the civic politics of south-eastern Victoria (and we know you are!) then you can't afford to miss the latest updates to Bishop Berkeley's Backyard, featuring the all-new adventures of everyone's favorite cleric, poet and solipsist. Subjects considered in recent posts include the health benefits of tarwater, the military record of Wittgenstein, the value of stale rye biscuits and the burning need for anti-Leninist makeup. The man is blogging up a storm but he still needs readers, so what are you waiting for? Click on the link and comment, comment, comment! Those Rationalists won't refute themselves!

Blog of the Week - The Black Oven.

"I want to bake but I'm just too Evil"

Does this sound familiar?

Well, if so, this blog is for you.

During my daily Boing Boing trudging I was stopped by a skeletal hand reaching up from the ground, wrapping it's bleach white knuckles around my ankle.

'Todd!' I said, "Cut that out!"

Then, as I looked back to the computer screen, I laid my eyes on the most gloomily delectable cupcake I had ever seen.

"Le Petit Gateau du Les Legions Noire - Traditional cupcakes inspired by untraditional black metal.

In a perfect world everything would be as stark and void of color as these cupcakes. They are baneful in their absolute disdain for your tastelessness, and are true misanthropes as far as baked goods go. "

It's called - The Black Oven - Immaculate Confections Succumbed to Northern Darkness.

So, take a break from burning that kitten and make yourself some cookies.

Open Letter

Dear Ryan Adams,

I know you probably have your fair share of stalkers. And I am probably one of them, because I feel like we would be friends if I looked more like Parker Posey and you lived in Melbourne. I didn't think your Tumblr blog was bipolar, and you're right: reachin' out is what normal people do.

If I had a robot cat, I would probably call her "Daryl Hannah Cat The Robot" too. Actually, now I'm thinking about it, I might have called her "Rose McGowan Cat" because I saw Planet Terror recently. And any girl that can pull off having a machine gun for a leg and still look sexy DESERVES to have lots of things named after her.

Love Milkcrate's Unicorn. xx

PS: Ryan, I never had the need to Google unicorn before now, let alone find a link for the bitch! So I thank you for opening another faucet for The Big MC.

PPS: And to quote stereogum.com, "From now on if you are going to slag off Ry's Tumblr, don't call it bipolar; its name is Foggy"

Blog of the Week

While our international correspondent Rohan is away on business (Romy and Michelle style!), he's so dedicated to the readers of Milkcrate he's still managed to ensure we have a new Blog of the Week!

Cast your browsers upon this baby: The Fail Blog. Marvel at the various failures of drunkards, woman drivers and bad signage! If you get addicted, like us here at Milkcrate, you might even scroll back further enough to see a contestant on Who Wants to be a Millionaire struggle to determine whether and elephant is bigger than the moon!

Blog of the Week

Milkcrate would like to draw your attention to two things.

1. We now have a segment called Blog of the Week, which may or may not appear on a weekly basis.

2. Milkcrate's Blog of the Week for this week is Photoshop Distasters. Clickety click -- if you're one of those who get a kick out of pointing out bad continuity and shitty retouching, you will not be disappointed.
