We briefly interrupt the annual parade of Xmas related avatars for this wealth of Iran Shoe Guy silliness:

We now return you to your regularly schedule avatar.
Let's get right to it.

over 2000 bucks!?  At least it's for charity. 

On second thought, who knows what you might be able to do with a little of Scarlett's DNA one of these days?   Maybe not such a bad idea afterall.

Best zinger you've heard in a long while:

NEW YORK, New York -- Jeremy Piven is ending his run in Broadway's "Speed-the-Plow," due to a condition caused by a high mercury count, according to Variety.

The Entourage star missed a Tuesday evening performance and a Wednesday matinee due to his high mercury count health concerns, but David Mamet, the playwright of "Speed-the-Plow," appears skeptical of the actor's exit.

"I talked to Jeremy on the phone, and he told me that he discovered that he had a very high level of mercury," Mamet told the entertainment trade mag. "So my understanding is that he is leaving show business to pursue a career as a thermometer."

LOL! I would've LOVED to see that production -- not only Piven, but Raul Esparza and (her name escapes me) the actress who plays Peggy on Mad Men in the role originated by Madonna.

I've been reading this comic strip "Questionable Content" for some time.  Last panel today made me groan in a good way.

I feel like someone thought long and hard about how to turn a drunken comment into a halfway decent joke. :)

and speaking of The Onion, someone has compiled The True History of the Bush Years, as chronicled in Onion headlines.
