The Truth Files

Stephen Colbert/Daily Show Love. House, Hugh Laurie, Black Adder, BritCom obsessiveness. Eddie Izzard quoting ad naseum. Self loathing. Other people loathing. Anything else I can loathe-fit that in there too. Tales of alcohol and dogs. The occassional night at the bar causing trouble. Mis-treating brain cells...Who needs them? No sex. No drugs-usually. Much rock'n'roll. Just trying to survive in 615. Y'know. The usual.

Wikiality-it's contagious

Further fandom-
Stephen Colbert mentions Wikipedia-Heroes log on en masse and begin editing articles for "Wikiality"
For a brief but hilarious moment-captured by addicted fans with mad internetz skillz the world can read about how Oregon is Canada's Mexico and California's Canada but really it's Idaho's Portugal. It's true-it's on Wikipedia. In the same segment he stated that the amount of African Elephants had tripled!!! He tells the viewers to log in and change the entry to reflect that reality-so several someones informs the world! (Sorry-only a screen cap-since it's been de-truthied.

Wikipedia is not pleased-everything related to or tangentially approaching the Colbert Nation is locked.

The fangirls laugh maniacally-Meanwhile at colbernation.com:

6 pages of discussions on Elephants

It is truly a great moment in fan history.
And here I was gushing over the Monopoly thing. When obviously the real power of Colbert is not in his ability to hold a grudge over a thirty year old board game played in a nefarious manner-no, his skill is in breaking the Internets.

This has got to be the best abuse of an open forum I've seen in ages. And I was too busy laughing to spread the Wikiality. God--dammit.

Oh wow, there's still a real world-and I have only just learned there was a shooting at the Citgo at McGavock and Riverside. Like a drive-by. At 3pm yesterday afternoon. Helicopters over the house again and all that. But I was at work-so I missed it. Good.
