Observations From The Idiot Dimension

Deep in the American heartland where shadows stretch unnaturally long beneath the moonlight, a legend has grown—both in stature and in mystery. A legend of a creature of unnatural origin. Locals are reluctant to talk about it for fear of ridicule or even that the mere mention of its name might be enough to summon this creature. It's name is Podman: a giant, humanoid creature bearing an eerie resemblance to a corn cob, with glistening yellow-gold skin patterned in rows, large saucer-shaped eyes that gleam in the dark, long limbs ending in claw-like hands, and a mouth packed with jagged, dagger-like teeth. Mostly spotted at night, the Podman is a cryptid said to have haunted agricultural communities since at least the 1970s. Sightings, whispers, and warnings have passed from one generation to the next, blending folklore, fear, and fascination into one of the more bizarre and unsettling figures in the world of cryptozoology.

Dorkfest began in 1992 as an unassuming, almost accidental gathering on a university campus. Its humble origins featured just two devoted Doctor Who fans, a ghetto blaster, and a single worn-out cassette of Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band. What started as an impromptu celebration of geekdom (and possibly a failed attempt at a proper party) soon evolved into a small but resilient tradition. Despite its minuscule attendance and questionable production values, Dorkfest embraced an atmosphere of unapologetic fandom. Over time, word spread—perhaps ironically, perhaps in genuine admiration—and the festival grew to include more niche fandoms, awkward dancing, and an ever-expanding selection of music played from increasingly outdated technology. Some recurring highlights of Dorkfest over the years have allegedly included: Dramatic re-enactments of classic Doctor Who scenes (often hindered by poor costume planning). Trivia battles that became so intense they led to at least one known frie...

So after a few months full of drama, I'd like to share an amusing experience I just had while shopping at one of Australia's two major supermarkets that is not Coles. I was walking down the chip isle minding my own business when I stopped to pick up a couple of packets of my favourite go to snacks. Just in front of me was a man (In hindsight I use that term very loosely) who clearly loved his food and was taking up most of the real estate of the isle. As I was left with no choice I politely waited for him to make probably the most important decision of the day. Once he had selected his chip of choice he walked backwards into me and then proceeded to give a performance worthy of a Razzie award. He started going on about how I had pushed my trolley into him and how offended he was. As he ranted, I just looked at him. First with astonishment at the level of manufactured drama one individual could generate. Then with pity about how little he must have happening in his life that he ...

Muppet Actors Guild Joins Forces with SWG and SAG in Historic Studio Strike to Demand Fair Treatment! Dateline: Hollywood, August 3, 2023 In a groundbreaking move, the Muppet Actors Guild (MAG) has joined forces with the Screen Writers Guild (SWG) and the Screen Actors Guild (SAG) to stage a massive strike against major studios. The joint protest comes as a resolute response to the Muppets' collective concerns about their mistreatment and the studio's disregard for their well-being. At the heart of the Muppets' grievances is the appalling inhumane living conditions they endure in-between productions. Shockingly, some Muppet actors have allegeded they have been locked away in suitcases for extended periods, and left to languish in cramped spaces with little regard for their physical or mental health. This unjust practice has sparked outrage among the Muppets' dedicated fan base and fellow industry professionals. Moreover, the Muppet community is appalled by studios' ...
