Sub-Title:
"Frankly, this council is out of control." - Ed Foster, Mayor of Quartzsite, AZ
Happy Sunday! This week's Dump of Links is short, but full of gold. Like a leprechaun. *Chris does some calculations* At a density of approximately 19 g/cm^3, a fat leprechaun should have an approximate mass of 2.4 metric tonnes ... I'm sorry, please read the rest of the post.

Two PSAs from Nerd Machine: first Nathan Fillion warns us of the dangers of Swamp Ass and second Kaley Cuoco informs us of the horrors of the galactic human slave trade.
- Tim says: Being informed is very easy when someone attractive is providing the info.
- Chris says: Why is it that I don't think you're talking about Kaley Cuoco?
-
Alien Beach Crashers!
- Chris says: Right about the point where you're wondering where they are, they arrive.
- Tim says: Who? The stereotypical beach bros? *kicks over Chris's sand castle*

10 Second Romantic Classics
- Tim says: Oh, that's why I can't woo women. I keep mixing up my "bloos" and "blahs".
- Chris says: No, you just need to wear an ascot. Really.

Mouse Trap Finger Challenge - The Slow Mo Guys
- Chris says: Wait a second, isn't this actually really dangerous?
- Tim says: Yes. Yes it is.
-
Right-wing Politician Wants Southern California to Secede.
- Chris says: Go read the article. There's a punchline about Arizona coming up.
- Tim says: I thought the punchline was the 200 other attempts over the years. Or "Quartzsite, AZ." You'll get that in a few minutes.
-
Muppet Doctor Who
- Chris says: Neither of us watches Doctor Who. Why is this here?
- Tim says: The first word is "Muppet". That's why.
-
Referee appeared out of nowhere
- Tim says: It's a good thing this clip is only fifteen seconds. Because you'll watch it over and over trying to figure it out.
- Chris says: I think there's actually a Doctor Who joke here, but I don't now how to make it.
- *watches it again*
- Chris says: WHERE DID HE COME FROM?
- Tim says: Ahh!
- Chris says: I don't understand! It doesn't make any sense.
-
My Little Serenity
- Tim says: Yes, it's animated ponies. Yes, it's brightly coloured and saccharine. BUT, it's also Firefly and totally amazing. I'm torn.
- Chris says: What can you say? Fuckin' ponies.
-
And our winner this week is an article about the goings-on in a small town in Arizona. No, seriously.
Quartzsite in an uproar, in 'state of emergency' due to video on YouTube. Make sure to watch the video linked from that article.
- Chris says: The interesting thing here is that there's transparency in the process purely because of the ease of sharing information on the Internet, now. And because some sloppy small-town idiots aren't smart enough to cover their tracks very well. Welcome to the information age, you half-wit bumpkins!
-
- Tim says: Remember the punchline mentioned in the "Southern California" link? Ba-dum-tsh.
That's all this week. Hope you enjoyed the Slow motion Muppet Right-wing ponies in Arizona. Wait...I may be confused.
