Stone Bumblebees

I'll go away from the topic of discussing my life and so on for a moment, to discuss something entirely different.

The Slender Man. An interesting manufactured urban legend, I'll admit; created by the jolly folks at SomethingAwful in one of those Photoshop threads. Now, I do congratulate the person who made it originally (Victor Surge, I do believe) on creating this fine meme and letting it spark into life. After all, it created other jolly things, like Marble Hornets and the rather irritating Just Another Fool.

And it's now got a, a, a wossname. Series? Universe? Whatever. I do find it all very interesting, especially the rumours about it actually coming from Germany.

Of course, it's all a load of hogwash, but it's all very amusing, even if all of these little "sub-series" tend to be droll rather than original. Of course, the whole "comes from Germany" thing is doubtlessly a coincidence; but some seem to be entranced by it, if I may be somewhat Lexi-like there. It just seems to be a thing.

Whatever, gonna read up on it some more; it might be rubbish, but it's entertaining rubbish. Especially the bad writing.
