The funniest joke ever:
Napoleon, Gandhi, and Winston Churchill knock on the gates of heaven. St. Peter emerges, list in hand. He looks at each of them and clears his throat. “This is all merely a construct of the living, to mitigate their dread of the unknown. Excuse me. I’ve got a tape ofGilmore Girls that I’d really like to watch now.”
From the lovely and talented McSweeney’s.
Because I live my life by what manufacturers of canned stew-like products tell me, particularly when they have arbitrary but fun little bits on their websites (and in their stews), I will be leaving for Africa to become an ADVENTURING ARCHAEOLOGIST.
Any questions on this matter should be directed here.
With my obsessive nature, I sometimes find myself lost in loops of repetitive gameplay. In fact, to my mind, the video game industry had encouraged this throughout my youth. Recently, however, they discovered their new medium, led by Squaresoft. The new medium? No gameplay at all. Just watch the movie and occasionally hit a button to see if the movie will progress.
It’s like watching a DVD chock full of CG eye candy that just suddenly pauses at random times to be sure you’re still watching.
Somebody understands me too well. Guest starring the highly underrated Peter Cetera, just so I’m sure how incredibly uncool I will appear to my children.
Still testing and still making the other templates, but feedbak is open in the comments. Enjoy!
This makes me sad.
Although her act makes me laugh, I am by no means enamoured of Margaret Cho. She is funny, yeah, but there are funnier comedians who are not getting the kind of attention she is. Her work with the gay and lesbian community is laudable, but that does not elevate her to the peak of Kilimanjaro where comedy is concerned. Now, I am going to listen to that “Persimmon Diet” bit again ’cause that is hilarious.
Regardless, these attacks actually shocked me. Man, I thought as a civilized country we might be past some of this shit.

…my friends to the blogging community. Although they might not be posting too many linky items, I did think it was a cute idea to have a “wedlog” to keep people informed about the happenings surrounding their wedding.
I can’t help it. I get all jazzed when I put up a new site. Besides, I’m the best man, so I’m in charge of publicity.
Oh, Mr. Dean. You had me at hello. And I’m all for enthusiasm. But you never want your campaign trail to resemble this.
The drums felt more seamless at last night’s show as compared to Tuesday. Considering I nearly vomited from the pressure at Tuesday’s performance and barely broke a sweat on Wednesday, I can certainly point at my nerves for making the drums a little too loud and a little too fast on my first try.
The director, producer and the principal were all very kind to me, and a member of the audience gave me some praise. Still, in my head I feel I could have done more for the show if I had any real skills. Composing and playing a live show with less than two real rehearsals meets my prescribed “Do something every day that scares you” mantra, however, so I felt like I accomplished at least that much.
I did have a lengthy conversation with the lead prior to the second performance regarding John Bonham and his incredible abilities. Having little communication with the cast until that point, I’m afraid I came off as a Zepp-o-phile, or some such, which I eventually attributed to my friend Bjorn. I tried to salvage by jumping on his Alkaline Trio sidebar, but eventually made a name-dropping ass of myself by recounting the Milwaukee bands with whose drummers I am reasonably acquainted.
Eh. Here’s a link about poop for your loyal readership.
The link from Czelticgirl. The astute and moving commentary from one of our fallen heroes.
Strangely compelling. I found it impossible to stop watching until the end. Luckily, I was rewarded when he really started to work that mic.
Other people who should apologize for not knowing better:
William Shatner
Leonard Nimoy
David “Michael Knight” Hasselhoff
Don Johnson
Patrick Swayze
Eddie Murphy
Leonard Nimoy (again)
I will forgive if they will just apologize. I’m not reposting the Leonard Nimoy link, either. This site will not be a plague rat for memes.
Just to keep you going through the weekend. Know that this might never make it to American shores and we are the worser people for it. As Wannabe Giant pointed out, look how HAPPY those people are playing together as a family!
America, where have your family values gone?
