Joss Whedon is quite a funny fellow. Here he is accepting the Bradbury Award from Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers of America at the 2009 Nebula Award ceremony:

So Three Ninjas has posted the audio of the live show he did last Wednesday. Oddly enough, he posted it to his personal blog but not the Three Ninjas official website. At any rate, you should go listen to it all now. ALL. NOW.

I like the Geoff/Three Ninjas banter, such as after the first song:

GEOFF: Jason, I'm sorry. 

THREE NINJAS: What? Why?

GEOFF: I… I don't, I don't know how to play bass.

THREE NINJAS: That's why I asked you to be up here.

And before the 3rd song:

THREE NINJAS: Everybody sing along! Just make something up. It doesn't matter. 

And then before the final song (“Going Gay for House”):

THREE NINJAS: So, does anyone besides me like House? Okay. Then you might know the words to this song. This, this song is called--this is our last song, okay? Here's the, here's what you guys don't get: this is our last song. And after this, after this song, uh, if you guys want to come and talk to us, Geoff and I will be… really surprised. 

So head on over to the blog and download the whole show, and do NOT go to the Three Ninjas website, ’cause who would ever go there looking for Three Ninjas music?

I would post the video of the show here, I haven’t gotten around to getting the video of the show from Sandy, nor does it seem she’s given it to Three Ninjas or posted it anywhere online herself. So instead enjoy some Drunk History featuring Michael Cera:

Jack Black is in episodes 2 and 2.5 as Benjamin Frankin! Thanks, Joss Whedon, for letting me know about Drunk History.

Link of the Month:
Garfield Minus Garfield
A fascinating project: Garfield Minus Garfield is a site dedicated to removing Garfield from the Garfield comic strips in order to reveal the existential angst of a certain young Mr. Jon Arbuckle. It is a journey deep into the mind of an isolated young everyman as he fights a losing battle against loneliness and depression in a quiet American suburb.

Book of the Month:
Runaways: Dead End Kids by Joss Whedon
After Brian K. Vaughan left his own creation, the wonderful comic book series Runaways, who could possibly be found to fill his shoes? Well, they did a pretty good job by getting Joss Whedon to do it. His run on Runaways finds the kids desperate to escape from Iron Man and his registration forces. After a couple of bad decisions, they end up running farther than they’ve ever run before. It’s a good story arc, and it gets plenty crazy with dozens of new characters and basically an entirely new setting for the Marvel Universe.

Game of the Month:
Strong Bad’s Cool Game for Attractive People
Hey. You. You want to be cool? You want to attract… the ladies? Well, then, young mister, look no further than Strong Bad’s Cool Game for Attractive People! Thrill at the hours of pre-recorded dialogue! Kick the Cheat into a clothes dryer over and over again! This point-and-click adventure for PC and Wii will thrill you with its state-of-the-art 3D graphics (they’re CGI!!!!). Made by some of the same people who made recent Sam & Max games, SBCGfAP relies on a lot of the same “logic” in solving various puzzles throughout the course of the game. And fear not: a new episode of this game is going to be released every month for several more months!
