I voted for crap

crapo.senate.gov? I wonder if his opponent took advantage of that during the election. Seems to be used to it though.

Ask Yahoo!

Like Google, Yahoo! has a question/answer service and a free one at that. Today’s most popular question is “What gender is Winnie-the-Pooh?” (He’s a he.)

Addicting games

I am addicted to Collapse. I thought Snood, mini-golf, and Bejeweled were bad…

Pulp Fictionesque Simpsons sketches

I was going though some old entries last night and ran across this one about some rough Simpsons/Pulp Fiction sketches. The originals appear to be long gone, but the Wayback Machine is here to save the day.

Penises in doll’s clothing

Don’t click here if you don’t want to see penises dressed up in doll’s clothing. You think I’m kidding… (via bb)

Don’t Mention It

Don’t Mention It: The hidden life and times of a Greenwich Village restaurant (via glfstrm):

“One evening, when the place was nearly full, I saw a party of four come in the door; a couple of them may have been wearing neckties, which wouldn’t have been a plus in a restaurant whose waitress used to wear a T-shirt that said “Die Yuppie Scum.” Kenny took a quick glance from the kitchen and said, “No, we’re closed.” After a brief try at appealing the decision, the party left, and the waitress pulled the security gate partway down to discourage other latecomers.”

“‘It’s only eight o’clock,’ I said to Kenny.”

“‘They were nothing but strangers,’ he said.”

“‘I think those are usually called customers,’ I said. ‘They come here, you give them food, they give you money. It’s known as the restaurant business.’”

“Kenny shrugged. ‘Fuck ‘em,’ he said.”

Cool or not uncool?

I own 1 of Rolling Stone’s 50 Coolest Records (Dig Your Own Hole, Chemical Bros.) and none of their 50 Uncoolest Records. (via bmp.) I am simultaneously not cool and not uncool. How cool/uncool are you, according to RS’s lists?

So very tired of Verisign.

Frontier House: damn those Clunes!

I enjoyed 1900 House, but not nearly as much as I’m enjoying Frontier House after seeing the first episode. I know this makes me a bad person, but I laughed my ass off at the karmic payback that the cream-puff, richy-rich Clunes were getting in the second half of the show. They are horrible, horrible people, and I hope they get the consumption and die out on the frontier. (I don’t really mean that. I hope they get scarlet fever and die out on the frontier.)

Today’s secret word is “Spider-Man”

Today’s secret word is “Spider-Man”. Everytime you hear the secret word, scream real loud. I hope I’m not screaming for my money back sometime this afternoon.

Star Wars tickets?

Four billion sites on the Web about Star Wars and none of them can tell me when tickets go on sale for Attack of the Clowns. Or are they not telling us this time around so that Moviefone’s system doesn’t go haywire like it did last time? What I know so far: rumor has is that some theatres (like AMC) will start selling tickets tomorrow. When tomorrow? No one knows. I’ve heard maybe 12:01am tomorrow or 11:30am tomorrow. I’ve also heard that individual theatre chains (and individual theatres) will be setting their own policies on when tickets will go on sale, so you have to call them directly. Does anyone know anything more concrete?

Still perky after thirty years

I like Tom’s new permalink nipples.

Hoopla down but not out

Leslie is back online, filling screens with sweet, sweet text. Hoopla and Smug, two domains that were hijacked from her with the assistance of Network Solutions/Verisign (die! die! die!) are still not back in her possession. In the past few weeks, I’ve heard of other domains being hijacked as well (Succaland for one). My advice to you is to move your domains to a secure registrar (I have heard good things about Dotster and Joker…avoid Network Solutions/Verisign *at all costs*).
