From time to time we all come across wacky stuff on the 'net that we want to share.
Found this animated gif while trolling around at FameTracker. It concerns a telephone conversation between 2 celebrity friends...

A bit on the tasteless side (OK, a lot) , but nonetheless:

European VW commercials RULE! Always tasteless.
(they have one where a cat's head gets cut off by an automatic sunroof. You don't actually see the decapitation but they artfully imply it).

I posted the link over at Fametracker's Johnny Carson topic but only one person's commented on it so far. They were a little shocked.
ETA: Ah, a few more comments are being posted over there. There's some serious denile about the whole thing going on at the moment.

Boy, this is going to be a weird year for me at school. I've only attended one class so far, but it looks like I'll have my hands full of learning how clueless I am because I'm white, and trying to make things relevant to kids via hiphop. Dig the title of one on the books I had to buy today:
"We Can't Teach What We Don't Know: White Teachers, Multiracial Schools"
I'm an old-school MLK-style integrationist, and I don't think I'm going to enjoy what seems to be a focus on what divides us instead of what unites us.
As far as the Carson thing is concerned, the first one with Rickles is pretty silly, unless he really does say "hang him," in which case, I have no idea what the hell he's talking about.
The second one is clearly a cynical take on two-faced politicians, so it doesn't bother me at all. I don't even think it should be called blackface, since it's only half a face.
More to come as this week develops.

Geoff, did you ever see "Boycott", the HBO flick about MLK and the Montgomery bus boycott? It's been showing off & on this month (made in 2001). Jeffrey Wright (he played the drag queen nurse in "Angels in America") plays young Martin, and does an amazing job.

Don't think I posted this before. This is essentially a very detailed blog, purportedly written by a recording engineer in LA during the recording of an album by a Hot Young Band (who shall remain nameless) and all the wacky stuff that goes on during the process. This was originally posted about 2 years back, and I recall wasting a lot of my time at my temp gig du jour around that time staying caught up.
Caveat: Expect to spend a lot of time reading this--it's very long and very addictive. He's since expanded it and compiled it into book form, which he's selling via his own site.

And I just discovered that' there's a sequel here (which I have yet to read). Alas, I can't spend hours at work reading anymore:

I scored similar to Geoff: 41% (Yankee). Barely into the Yankee category.
Weirdly, my responses were all over the map (literally), owing to my frequent moves as well as my conscious disavowal of certain Western PA trademarks (i.e., "yinz" as the plural of "you"). Had I retained the speech patterns of my upbringing, my score would have been:
15% (Yankee). Wow. Your Yankee score is in the top 20 percentile!

BTW Mark, you might find this piece from Slate on Shanghai kinda interesting:
http://www.slate.com/id/2116258/
Coincidentally, I recently discovered a little hole-in-the-wall joint in the Sunset district called the Shanghai Dumpling Shop. They make authentic Shanghai dumplings (the round ones with broth inside) and other Shanghai-centric stuff like eel chow mein. Quite the find. It's out near the Balboa theater and is my new fave place.

I thought south of Noriega was the Parkside, but according to some, Parkside is just a subset of Sunset. But the ZIP codes are different; I live in 94116, which the PO calls the Parkside.

Sorry, didn't mean to give your 'hood short shrift. That's one of those things I've never been entirely clear on either. The map you posted shows all the major 'hoods with the possible exception of the Western Addition, which appears to get lumped in with the Haight. But Laurel Heights gets mentioned, and I just consider that a sub-'hood of Pacific Heights, kind of like West Portal and the Sunset/Parkside, or Glen Park and whatever larger district it's part of. Go figure.
-
I like that map -- but I noticed the Western Addition thing as well, and also note that they call it Civic Center instead of the Tenderloin and make no mention of South Beach (which was only establishing its identity around the time I lived by the Embarcadero).

A very small number of people refer to the streets abutting the Tenderloin and Japantown as the "Van Ness Corridor" -- and thus people living on the border of that and the 'Loin live in -- here it comes -- TenderNess.

That is hilarious -- but is it supposed to be? Or is he serious? I kept thinking of the minister in Saved. "Are you down with G-O-D?"
Word to the holy mother!

That was hilarious! Whether he was serious or not- he's a funny guy.
(I'm suspecting he's not serious, though- "and if you're Catholic? There's even more...")

have you seen the TV spots for that Christian Rock CD aimed at tweens? It's called "Worship Jamz" (!), and the songs are sung by Avril Lavigne and Blink 182 wannabes -- all the songs sound EXACTLY like the songs Cartman and his "christian" band Faith + 1 did on South Park. And no irony at all.

FWIW, I don't know that I've ever seen a despicable character played so accurately and sensitively (if that is the word) than Ricky Gervais accomplished there. His buffoonery was altogether not without heart, a big part of why that show, as funny as it was, was so difficult to watch.

I totally understand, and have a similar reaction. I even sometimes feel uncomfortable watching John Cleese in Fawlty Towers for similar reasons. He's so fucking funny, it's almost too much!

It's an image, IE is reducing it to fit in your browser. Hold your cursor arrow over the image for a couple of seconds. A little box will appear (kind of orange with blue arrows from the coners) in the lower right of the image on the screen. Click there and it will enlarge.

I downloaded the whole zip file, there's 3 Pacino's & over 80 others (including 7 Don Pardo's!) I haven't listened to yet. One of the other Pacino's goes like this (think And Justice For All):
I'm out of order? I'm out of order!?
YOU'RE OUT OF ORD...Hold on, I got a phone call.

I'm thinking Al Pacino in the movie...
Did you guys hear Frank Caliendo a couple of days ago on the Morning Show doing his various impressions? He said that you can download ringtones from his website, and he gave an example of his Al Pacino:
You got a phooone call. You got a phooone call.

This simply BEGS for one of those Dickie Goodman-style break-in records:
"Mr. Spector, how would you describe the size of your hair?"
"River deep, mountain high ..."
"What do you say to yourself while styling it?"
"Let me put you up where you belong ..."
"I think it looks pretty bad, myself."
"Instant karma's gonna get ya ..."
"We really can't let you into the courtroom like that."
"Just once in my life, let me get what I want ..."

Then one of his exes takes the stand:
"Ma'am, weren't you afraid to date Mr Spector?"
Just because he doesn't do what everybody else does... that's no reason why I can't give him all my love.
"Did he ever threaten or harm you?"
He hit me -- and it felt like a kiss.
"And what did you say to him then"
Wait till my Bobby gets home!

I got all 11 too, and it told me that only 3 people did that, so who was the 3rd guy?
The ark question is old, but the answer choices for the sheep question were faulty. One of the choices should have been 8.

I missed the Ark, and the 'outs in an inning' question. Dumb! I went to the game last night. Schmidt was awesome, until the 5th inning. I think hitting the home run took something out of him!

Matheny is also a damn fine catcher & better than average clutch hitter. On a Cardinals team with Pujols, Edmonds, Rolen, Renteria & Walker he was largely overshadowed, but I bet you that in the team MVP voting he probably came in no worse than 3rd.

rather than start a new thread, or resend, I just thought I'd post this joke I received from a friend, a retired school teacher:
A little boy got on the bus, sat next to a man reading a book, and noticed
he had his collar on backwards. The little boy asked why he wore his collar that way.
The man, who was a priest, said, "I am a Father."
The little boy replied, "My daddy doesn't wear his collar like that."
The priest looked up from his book and answered "I am the Father of many."
The boy said, "My dad has 4 boys, 4 girls and two grandchildren and he
doesn't wear his collar that way."
The priest, getting impatient, said, "I am the Father of hundreds!" and went back to reading his book.....
The little boy sat quietly thinking for a while, then leaned over and said,
"Maybe you should wear your pants backwards instead of your collar."

To elaborate a smidgen: Britney's husband, Kevin Federline, has two children from his prior relationship with Shar Jackson, a black woman.
And before POC says it, yes, that above line should be read as if it's one of the professorial declamations in Stevie Wonder's "Black Man."

Dynamite Hack is more likely to have been Live 105 fodder -- the Luka Bloom has shown up on KFOG's Acoustic Sunrise (and probably nowhere else).

Humor aside, I find it more and more difficult to bother reading anything Scott McClellan says. I know it's the press secretary to obfuscate and occasionally lie to get the press off the president's back, but Scottie takes the role to new depths every time he pretends that black is white.
The press secretary should be a member of the opposing political party (this would be more complicated if we meaningfully had more than two parties, but hey). If that were the case maybe we'd get a little truth out here in the apartments and suburbs and ghettos and farmlands of America.

Was quite amused to see that article, too, particularly since Sarah & I had gone to the Alameda fair on Sunday, the day Starship played. Sorry, Gaz, we didn't watch them at all (although I was curious if any other original-ish members besides Mickey Thomas were on board--Donny Baldwin maybe?), but did hear the strains of We Built This City wafting through the trees. That wasn't our big reason for going in the first place--we just wanted some warm weather and a chance to check out the new miracle products in the commerce building. Oh, and also a chance to bet on a few horse races. I lost, but what else is new? Never had an eye for the ponies, but it's still fun.
It's been awhile since there's been anyone at any of the local fairs that I was truly excited to see, although about 10 years ago, the Marin fair used to get some pretty good bands--I recall seeing Los Lobos and NRBQ there ca. 93-94, but lately it's been more standard fair fare.

Judging from the url, you'd think this was some sort of frat humor site. I was not expecting such a transcendent performance. George Harrison would have loved it.

If Mickey Thomas was there then I HIGHLY doubt Donny Baldwin was -- allegedly it was Donny who beat the living shit out of Mickey in a bar, terminating their 1989 tour and effectively terminating what was left of the band.

Frances Bean Cobain Enters Prehab
LOS ANGELES—Frances Bean Cobain, the 12-year-old daughter of serial substance abuser Courtney Love and deceased rock legend Kurt Cobain, entered the River Phoenix Elementary Prehabilitation Clinic Monday. "Although Frances Bean does not have a substance-abuse problem yet," publicist Cindy Guagenti said, "we thought it prudent to enroll her in an introductory six-step 'pretox' program." The $7,500-a-week facility has previously prepared celebrity children such as Maddox Jolie and Lourdes Ciccone.

I overheard a pretty great exchange between a man and a woman as I was on my way to yoga last week, in the gym at UCSF. I presume they were talking about the origin of the namesake of Mount Sutro:
Him: He was, like, a real guy, named Sutro. He was pretty rich, lived here a long time ago.
Her: Is that like the Kama Sutro?

Right on. He was one of my favorite characters.
I liked him even more than B.J. "Beej" Honeycutt. Of course, I have him to thank for the nickname. Before that? All I got was "Hey, B.J.- where's The Bear?! U-huh-huh-huh.." or something much ruder.

Hawkeye's a good one, too. Although, I wouldn't mind being Charles Emerson Winchester. He was snooty but he got down & dirty from time to time with hilarious consequences.

There was a time when a dorky white guy trying to sound black was considered humorous. Now nobody even bats an eye...

A children’s book on the religious and ethical consequences of gay marriage. Now with Evangelical and Secular Humanist endings. (For IQ’s 0 and up.)
Once upon a time there was a little girl named Heather.
Heather lived in a normal house with her normal family on a normal street of a normal neighborhood.
Heather’s father ran the house.
Heather’s mother served under him.
Heather and her brother and sister were taught to fear God.
Heather was happy.
Then one day, Heather and her family saw homosexuals getting married.
Men were marrying men.
Women were marrying women.
“Oh my goodness”, said Heather’s mother.
“This”, said Heather’s father, “is not normal”.
Heather was worried.
That night, something strange happened to Heather’s normal neighborhood. It was as if the very foundations of the normal houses were ripped up and pushed around.
The next morning, Heather’s father announced that he wanted a divorce.
He had decided to marry a dog.
It was a cream-colored collie named Fudgepuff who lived down the street.
Heather’s father said that he had always wanted to marry Fudgepuff and now he knew that he could.
Heather’s mother said that was fine with her. She was going to marry her sister Judy.
Heather’s sister said that Uncle Ed had asked her to be one of his six new wives.
Heather’s brother said that he was eloping with a pederast.
Heather was frightened.
Out on the street, everyone was marrying everything.
Mrs. Jenkins was marrying a tree root.
Mr. Jenkins was marrying ring bologna and a bowl of dip.
Mrs. Potter was marrying a clump of dryer lint.
Mr. Potter was marrying a section of the bench in the visitor’s dugout of the Little League ball field.
Old Mr. Billow couldn’t find anything he wanted to marry. So he decided to become a woman and then marry himself.
Heather was confused.
That afternoon, everyone went to the wedding of Fudgepuff and Heather’s father.
They said their vows and exchanged their rings.
The minister called them husband and wife, and they kissed.
Then everyone went to the reception.
The wedding party posed for pictures around the cake.
Fudgepuff’s best friend caught the bouquet.
Heather’s brother’s pederast caught the garter.
Heather wondered what would happen next.
[The Evangelical Ending]
Suddenly, trumpets sounded and the heavens opened.
Jesus came down from the sky riding a white horse.
His eyes were like flames. His clothes were dipped in blood. And out of his mouth came a sword.
Jesus smiled at Heather.
Then he chopped and hacked all the homosexuals into tiny piles of fleshy red goo which were eaten by birds.
Jesus told Heather she was saved, but he would have to throw the rest of her family into a lake of fire.
Heather’s family screamed as their intestines melted to ash.
Fudgepuff yelped with pain when the molten brimstone liquefied her from tail to paws to snout.
Soon, all the sinners were dead.
Jesus set his throne atop a mountain of skulls to rule for a thousand years beside a sea of boiling bones.
Heather could hear the rotting souls of the damned gurgling in eternal agony.
Heather was happy again.
the end
[The Secular Humanist Ending]
Suddenly, trumpets sounded and the heavens opened.
Jesus walked in from the back of the room and signed the guest register.
He said that he had never preached a single word about a man marrying a man or a woman marrying a woman. He hoped that everyone was loving everyone.
“But”, exclaimed Heather, “ my father married a dog!”
Jesus chuckled. “Behold”, he said, “that’s just silly. Lose thou no sleep upon it. Nor waste ye not this good party. For thy room is reserved only unto 12.”
Jesus ate stuffed mushrooms and scallops wrapped in bacon.
He drank two whiskey sours as he mingled with the guests.
Then Heather taught Jesus the Electric Slide and everyone danced and danced.
Heather was happy again.
the end

I can't remember what thread we were discussing Tim Goodman in, but since I dissed his taste in (overrated) shows, I should give him props for being a very funny guy. Here, his comments on Jennifer Love Hewitt's new (and apparently very bad) show, Ghost Whisperer:
"How else to explain Jennifer Love Hewitt in a rip-off of "Medium" called "Ghost Whisperer" on CBS? She talks to dead people. She also acts as if she's dead. And somebody clearly killed her hairstyle. None of that matters, however, as males and females, gays and straights, dogs and cats, grandparents, fish, etc., will only be able to stare at her breasts. No series in recent memory has put so much attention on a pair of breasts. It's laughably ridiculous. You can't escape them. Hewitt is in her nightgown half the time and then in shirts three sizes too small the other half. In one scene the strap of her shoulder bag prominently divides her breasts. If you can watch that scene without laughing, you're too desperate by half.
Oh, and the show is terrible."

(10-20) 14:04 PDT Oklahoma City (AP) --
A man got a prison term longer than prosecutors and defense attorneys had agreed to — all because of Celtics great Larry Bird.
The lawyers reached a plea agreement Tuesday for a 30-year term for a man accused of shooting with an intent to kill and robbery. But Eric James Torpy wanted his prison term to match Bird's jersey number 33.
"He said if he was going to go down, he was going to go down in Larry Bird's jersey," Oklahoma County District Judge Ray Elliott said Wednesday. "We accommodated his request and he was just as happy as he could be.

that reminds me of one of the stories the first time Dave did "Sledgehammers": A woman, who always left the radio on for her cat when she was out of the house, went away for a holiday weekend. At midnight on Friday night the radio station began a format switch and played REM's "End of the World as We Know It" over and over (and over) for 3 days... Needless to say the cat was a bit unhinged when the woman got home!

Stars Line Up For Extravagant Bat Mitzvah Party
50 Cent, Tom Petty, Stevie Nicks and members of Aerosmith and the Eagles joined forces to create one of the year's greatest live lineups over the weekend, when they played a private Bat Mitzvah celebration gig.
Multi-millionaire David H. Brooks paid a reported $10 million to hire the artists to perform at his daughter Elizabeth's party at New York City venue The Rainbow Room.
Brooks is said to have chartered his company jet to pick up Aerosmith rockers Steven Tyler and Joe Perry from their Saturday concert in Pittsburgh, Penn.
He reportedly paid the stars $2 million to play a 45-minute set, while 50 Cent is thought to have received $500,000.
Petty wowed the gathering with an acoustic performance, while The Eagles stars Joe Walsh and Don Henley played alongside Fleetwood Mac singer Nicks.
Other acts who performed at the extravagant event included Ciara, Nicole Richie's fiance DJ AM and saxophonist Kenny G.
However, Brooks has denied the reported cost of the event. He told the New York Daily News, "All dollar figures vastly exaggerated. This was a private event and we do not wish to comment on details of the party."

And the kid whose bat mitzvah it was may have dug 50 Cent, but the rest of those bands? Ancient from the POV of the average 13 year old. He didn't spend that bank for the kid--he did it to show off for his friends.
(But I'd be curious to know how much the kid raked in in gifts.)

From a post on the NY Radio Message Board, apparently Oldies WWKB Buffalo has an all-time top 300 posted on their website with lots of typos:
There, I was amazed to see, at #6:
"Ode To Billy Joel" (his only appearanc on the chart)
Also, some other records of interest:
A record called "Call Me" by Frankie Valli is #116--anyone re-call that?
Meanwhile, a singer named Frankie Vall is at #114 with "Can't Take My Eyes Off You".
Pied no more, "The Pled Piper" is at #108.
Gary Lewis' "This" diamond ring has been upgraded to "THE Diamond Ring" while the Soul Survivors have given up in Buffalo traffic and are simply on "The Expressway". And the Byrds seem to be somewhere in Wales, perhaps, with "Eigh Miles High".
Have your own fun with this at:

Personally, I'm astounded that Cher's "You Better Sit Down Kids" is #300...

He's got a ticket to ride... NOT
1970s Teen Idol Leif Garrett Charged
(01-18) 14:30 PST Los Angeles (AP) --
Leif Garrett, a 1970s singing teen idol, was charged Wednesday with possessing heroin after he was arrested for allegedly trying to ride the subway without a ticket.
Garrett, 44, also was charged with fare evasion.
If convicted, he probably would avoid jail time under a law that sends some convicted drug users to treatment, authorities said.
An e-mail seeking comment from a spokeswoman listed on Garrett's Web site was not immediately returned.
Garrett was arrested by Los Angeles County sheriff's deputies Saturday evening on the platform of the Pershing Square Red Line station downtown for allegedly not having a ticket to ride the train.
Deputies then allegedly found suspected narcotics on the musician-actor, officials said.
He was held without bail for allegedly violating terms of his probation for a previous drug offense. He pleaded guilty in March to attempted possession of cocaine-based narcotics and was placed on probation.
Garrett has appeared in three-dozen films, mostly in the 1970s and 1980s, and has released 10 music albums.
In 1979, he rear-ended another car while driving a Porsche, leaving his passenger disabled.

LOL! My favorite ep of Six Feet Under was the one where David comes back to the funeral parlor one day & is surprised to find a young man giving square dance lessons to a bunch of old people. He gets a little ticked at Nate, only to find out that, although Nate says he did it to make Fisher & Sons a little extra money on the afternoons, what he really was trying to do was fix David (who has left Keith at this point) up with the instructor. After David agrees to go out with him, the instructor & he have the following exchange:
Dance Instructor: So...what are you....?
David: I'm...flexible...
Dance Instructor: So, bottom then. Good, this should really work out.
(Fast forward to: they are sitting up in bed, all sweaty)
Dance Instructor (speaking with tone of wonderment): Damn, you really are flexible.

AIDS used to be a big Apple repair place back then. I asked them if the name would be a problem, once the disease hit our consciousness, and of course I was told it would be no big deal. right.

From my fave movie site, hollywood-elsewhere.com:
Jack Lechner's annual Oscar parody song compositions have been sent out, and here's the best of them -- a Squid and the Whale ditty called "Crappy Together," sung to the tune of a certain 1966 Turtles song.
(funny even if you haven't seen the movie)
SHE: Enough of me and you. We're through. The way that you pontificate. Makes me irate. The love I used to feel for you. Has turned to hate. We're crappy together.
HE: I never slept around. Although I could. While you had an affair for years. Right in the hood. And worst of all, my books are bad. And yours is good. We're crappy together.
HE (chrous): If I did more chores and made money would you. Still be my wife?
SHE (chrous): Can't you find some worshipful bunny to screw. And leave my life?
BOTH: Now our boys. Aren't acting cool. Our older son is plagiarizing like a fool. Our younger one is playing with himself at school.
They're crappy together. We're crappy together. At the end of our tether. So crappy together. So crappy together.

We went to the SFMOMA intro of the Calder exhibition last night, and walked around to the other exhibits. There was a South African video done in the same style as the above linked "Brothers in Arms" video (also similar to the A-ha 'take on me' video) done in that charcoal style. So, I've spent a lot of time searching the web to no avail, and wonder if any of youse knows who did the artwork for the DS video?

A blonde, a brunette, and a redhead are stranded on a desert island. The brunette writes a message in a bottle. The redhead hunts for food. The blonde swims a kilometer offshore, and remembers musty wine drunk during a Parisian dawn.
A duck walks into a bar and orders a beer. The bartender asks how he'd like to pay. "You know that I'm running a tab. Sometimes it feels so long, written on the inner edges of my spirit, an itemized list of each moral failing, each successive regression." The bartender snickers, "You mean your bill?" The duck refrains from weeping.
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 of Gilmore Girls that I'd really like to watch now."
A man requires surgery for a broken arm. As the doctor is fitting his cast, the man asks, "Doctor, when this thing c omes off, will I be able to play the violin?" The doctor responds, "Why is it that a man's sexuality is inextricably linked to his fortunes? That's a lot of pressure, you know."
How many nymphomaniacs does it take to change a lightbulb? Three: One to hold it, one to flirt with it, and one to scrub the floor, corner to corner.
Santa Claus, the Easter Bunny, and the Tooth Fairy go to the welfare office. They wait in the lobby for hours before the case worker calls them each in turn. When asked for a Social Security number, each fills in "000-00-0000." The case worker goes home and sighs to her husband about her aching joints, the dreary commute, and the grinding uniformity of imaginary characters with shamelessly real hunger.

I have definite preferences. I love icelandic, and *hate* Aquaviva, which is more appropriately called Aquavomit. Crystal Geyser, somewhere in the middle, a bit below Poland Spring and Snapple20. But I drink VitaminWater instead of all of it anyway.

A lady bought a new Lexus. It cost a bundle. Two days later, she brought it back, complaining that the radio was not working. "Madam", said the sales manager, "the audio system in this car is completely automatic. All you need to do is tell it what you want to listen to, and you will hear exactly that!" She drives out, somewhat amazed and a little confused. She looked at the radio and said "Nelson." The radio responded, "Ricky orWillie?" Soon, she was speeding down the highway to the sounds of "On the road again." She was astounded. If she wanted Beethoven, that's what she got. If she wanted Nat King Cole, she got it.
Suddenly, at a traffic light, her light turned green and she pulled out. Off to her right, out of the corner of her eye, she saw a small sports utility vehicle speeding toward her. She swerved and narrowly missed a terrible collision. "Asshole", she muttered. And, from the radio...
"Ladies and Gentlemen, the President of the United States...."

Not from the 'net, but a friend of mine sends me the occasional unpublished humor piece:
The Recording Industry Association of America announced today it would be expanding its crackdown on copyright infringement by suing family members, hitchhikers and carpoolers.
Lawyers for the RIAA maintain that the radio in each car was never meant to be listened to by anyone else except the original owner of the vehicle.
Therefore, any additional passengers who listen to music on the radio in another individual's car are doing so illegally and without the express permission of the copyright holders of the respective songs that are broadcast. RIAA attorneys were preparing to go to Federal District courts across the country to have subpoenas issued to every car maker in America in the hopes of forcing them to disclose the names and addresses of all purchasers from the last 20 years.
"We think this is a no brainer," said an RIAA spokesperson who declined to be identified. "These drivers have been illegally sharing music on their radios and their passengers have been getting a free ride for way too long," he continued.
Legal representatives for the RIAA also warned that they would especially be targeting the "big fish" like charter bus drivers and RV owners who blatantly turn up the radio volume allowing others to hear.
In addition, RIAA lawyers said they were hoping to get a court order to exhume the bodies of Scottish physicist James Clerk-Maxwell, who developed the theory of electromagnetic waves and Guglielmo Marconi, who discovered and harnessed wireless radio in order to sue both corpses for unfair business practices.

Here's a truly awful '60s artifact: one of the Beatles cartoons that ABC showed back then -- the otherwise very talented Paul Frees (voice of Cap'n Crunch and many others) doing the Worst. British. Accent. Evah! and sounding nothing like John Lennon (whose voice was actually pretty easy to imitate).
http://throwawayyourtv.com/2006/06/60s-beatles-cartoon.html
I loved these cartoons when I first saw them. Then again, I was 4.
And yeah, Mr. Frees renders JL somewhere around the midpoint of Dorothy Zbornack and Mr. Heat-Miser.

wasn't he also the voice of the Burgermeister Meisterburger? Not to mention many of the Jay Ward 'toons.

Apologies to all, especially Yessongs, for this will undoubtedly be a most scarring experience. But "OMGWTFLOL" barely scratches the surface:

Wow.
Dreadful choreography, and yet I kinda liked the vocal arrangement. Not really all that far from Polyphonic Spree territory.

Finally got a chance to watch part of this--yep, the voice of Lennon is a pretty bad likeness. And yes, Frees did lots of the voicing for Jay Ward's classic toons--like I think he was Boris Badanov to name one.

Remember that X-mas TV-special trivia package I put together a few years ago? He was Boris, he was the BMMB, and he also voiced Santa in Frosty the Snowman (in which June Foray - aka Rocky the Flying Squirrel - was the voice of Karen the little girl). He was the narrator of many, many things, my favorite being Stan Freberg Modest Presents: The United States of America, but also parts of Patton & Spartacus. His was the original voice of the Pillsbury Doughboy. He was injured on D-Day in Normandy & lived in Tiburon his last years.

I think he did a lot of the voiceovers for the Disneyland rides that were rolled out in the mid-60s, specifically the Haunted House and Pirates of the Caribbean.

Seeing Chris Titus' name reminded me that my friend Kevin, who now lives in NY, was roommates with him in the Haight in the 80s. Says he was kind of a jerk, he always helped himself to Kevin's leftover Chinese food and ate all the chicken out of it. He looks like the kind of guy who'd be a jerk.

One gets the feeling that Maxim, beyond just objectifying women, outright hates them. 6/10 is a striking ratio for a male-dominated field, ne? (7 if you count Louie, but that's just mean.)

Louie's not gay, he's a pedophile, no?
Sadly a LOT of straight men, "beyond just objectifying women, outright hate them". And I mean a LOT. But you're right about that ratio. And I'm kinda baffled to see Mencia's name there.

Matt is a 29-year-old deadbeat from Connecticut who used to think that all he ever wanted to do in life was make and play videogames. He achieved this goal pretty early and enjoyed it for a while, but eventually realized there might be other stuff he was missing out on. In February of 2003, he quit his job in Brisbane, Australia and used the money he'd saved to wander around the planet until it ran out. He made this site so he could keep his family and friends updated about where he is.
A few months into his trip, a travel buddy gave Matt the idea of dancing everywhere he went and recording it on his camera. This turned out to be a very good idea. Now Matt is quasi-famous as "That guy who dances on the internet. No, not that guy. The other one. No, not him either. I'll send you the link. It's funny."
The response to the first video brought Matt to the attention of the nice people at Stride long-lasting gum. They asked Matt if he'd be interested in taking another trip around the world to make a new video. Matt asked if they'd be paying for it. They said yes. Matt thought this sounded like another very good idea.
At the start of 2006, Matt left on a 6 month trip through 39 countries on all 7 continents. In that time, he danced a great deal.
Matt dances very badly, but most people don't seem to mind.
Matt is not independently wealthy. Matt also doesn't have some magical secret for traveling cheaply. He does it pretty much the same way everybody else does.
Matt thinks Americans need to travel abroad more.
Matt was a very poor student and never went to college. When he got older, he was pleased to discover that no one actually cares. Matt doesn't want to imply that college is bad or anything. He's just saying is all. There's other ways to fill your head.
Matt currently lives in Seattle, Washington, where he still works in videogames from time to time as a writer and designer. Matt recognizes that this is not the worst job in the world, but he prefers traveling.
Matt is left-handed.
When Matt was younger, he could hang seven spoons on his face at once. Sadly, puberty made Matt's face less conducive to spoon-hanging.
Matt has a little piece of extra cartilage sticking out on the rim of one ear and a little hole in the same place on the other ear. Matt has no idea why this is the case.
Matt is very good with figures and wishes people asked him to multiply things more often.
Matt has never lost a staring contest.

That's pretty cool. I don't think the dancing is all that funny, or that Matt deserves a full 15 minutes of fame. But you have to admire a guy who found a way to travel the world on someone else's dime. I want to be like Matt...

Mark is also very good with figures and wishes people asked him to multiply things more often, but whenever Mark said this no one seemed to think it was funny. Now Mark's 6-year-old son is following in his footsteps. If you come to his house you will probably hear him say, "hey, ask me a math question."

Are the Mentos necessary? Seems like if you shake up a 2l bottle of Coke (and why's it need to be diet?) and slam it, that's going to be the result any which way . . .
On the other hand, at least that's three less bottles of soda for hyperactive kids to guzzle down . . .

If that's the vid I think it is, the brother of one of the guys in it works at CNET. And yes, the mentos work as some sort of catalyst--which begs the question why would you ever eat them?

This isn't that recent, but I just saw it yesterday. Have you guys heard about Diet Coke & Mentos??

There are several other clips about this, make sure you see the stuff in the second minute of this clip.

I now want to incorporate this in my science classes! I think the mentos are probably reacting with the diet coke, but I don't know the reaction.

Well, it turns out there are far more Diet Coke & Mentos videos than I dreamed possible. But this is the one I was talking about. And it makes all the other ones weep:

Is Jon Voight kind of losing it? Read in the daily dish:
Jon Voight has been desperately trying to repair his relationship with estranged daughter Angelina Jolie by publicly requesting to see his grandchildren, but he may have further hampered their relationship by mistakenly calling his granddaughter Shakira instead of Zahara.
The veteran actor was caught on tape at the British Academy of Film and Television Arts Tea Party on Saturday, where he was doing interviews on the red carpet.
Entertainment news Web site TMZ.com has posted footage of Voight sending birthday wishes to his grandson Maddox saying, "Maddox just had a birthday. Happy birthday, Maddox! Five years old -- it's a big one! You're going to be a young man, and I send my love out to you. And send my love to ... uh ... Shakira ... and Shahira ..."
The befuddled grandfather then asked the reporter, 'Is it Shakira or Shahira?'
When the reporter replied that the correct name was Zahara, the confused Voight added, "Shahara! Shahara!"
Jolie and Brad Pitt's other daughter Shiloh Nouvel, who is three months old, failed to get a mention.
Jolie and her father haven't spoken since he went on "Access Hollywood" four years ago, urging his daughter to get help for her "mental problems."

"I actually think a film by George W. Bush would look like the old film clip reels that would play when one of the Muppet Babies would open a closet door. Like, monkeys in cowboy hats riding around to fast ragtime music."

Pam and Kid call it quits.
Again, a surprise?
Brit Rock?
Pam/Kfed? She's too smart for that.
OK, this shoulda been posted in the gossip thread but in any case, a very good Kid/Pam summary from hollywood-elsewhere.com:
Anyone in a marriage or a romantic relationship knows you don't air your messy feelings in public, much less in front of rich industry peers. Keep it at home or in the car. But Kid Rock (aka Bob Richie ) doesn't get this, or didn't, in any event, at a party he and wife Pamela Anderson attended at the home of Universal honcho Ron Meyer a couple weeks ago, at which time his "male insecurity and major anger issues" erupted over Pamela's bit on "Borat".
A "Page Six" source says this viewing "was the first time Bob had seen the movie, and, well, he didn't like it." He allegedly "started screaming" -- girl talk for using a forceful, urgent tone -- "at Pam, saying she had humiliated herself and telling her, 'You're nothing but a whore! You're a slut! How could you do that movie?' [All] in front of everyone. It was very embarrassing." The result, says the story, is that Anderson and Richie have reportedly parted ways. Because he couldn't contain his asshole-ishness.
Wait a minute..."Borat"'s been done and screening since early last summer and Kid Rock only just gets around to seeing it two weeks ago? In mid November? What a lazy, armpit-scratching, self-centered piece of three-day-old cheddar cheese this guy must be. I think it's also fair to remind ourselves that Ms. Anderson can really pick 'em. Face it, she's trash herself -- a metaphor for the ongoing social devolution.

I'd love to operate a station with the call letters KWTF. Not so sure about the other one though.
However, assignment of call letters actually is an automated process, according to Mary Diamond of the FCC's Office of Media Relations. Broadcasters use the FCC Web site to request and receive call letters with no oversight from Beavis, his partner, or any FCC regulator.
Shouldn't that read "... no oversight from Beavis, Butthead, or any FCC reglator?" In keeping with the the spirit of the article -- "KWTF, heh, heh..."

Congress Votes to Outsource Presidency
August, 17, 2007: Washington , DC (AP) -- Congress today announced that the office of President of the United States of America will be outsourced to India as of September 1, 2007. The move is being made in order to save the President's $400,000 yearly salary, and also a record $521 Billion in deficit expenditures and related overhead that his office has incurred during the last 5 years. "We believe this is a wise financial move. The cost savings are huge," stated Congressman Thomas Reynolds (R-WA). "We cannot remain competitive on the world stage with the current level of cash outlay," Reynolds noted.
Mr. Bush was informed by e-mail this morning of his termination. Preparations for the job move have been underway for some time. Gurvinder Singh of Indus Teleservices, Mumbai , India will assume the office of President as of September 1, 2007. Mr. Singh was born in the United States while his Indian parents were vacationing at Niagara Falls, NY , thus making him eligible for the position. He will receive a salary of $320 (USD) a month, but no health coverage or other benefits.
It is believed that Mr. Singh will be able to handle his job responsibilities without a support staff. Due to the time difference between the US and India, he will be working primarily at night. "Working nights will allow me to keep my day job at the Dell Computer call center," stated Mr. Singh in an exclusive interview. "I am excited about this position. I always hoped I would be President." A Congressional spokesperson noted that while Mr. Singh may not be fully aware of all the issues involved in the office of President, this should not be a problem as President Bush had never been familiar with the issues either.
Mr. Singh will rely upon a script tree that will enable him to respond effectively to most topics of concern. Using these canned responses, he can address common concerns without having to understand the underlying issue at all. "We know these scripting tools work," stated the spokesperson. "President Bush has used them successfully for years."
Bush will receive health coverage, expenses, and salary until his final day of employment. Following a two-week waiting period, he will be eligible for $140 a week unemployment for 13 weeks. Unfortunately he will not be eligible for Medicaid, as his unemployment benefits will exceed the allowed limit.
Mr. Bush has been provided with the outplacement services of Manpower, Inc. to help him write a resume and prepare for his upcoming job transition. According to Manpower, Mr. Bush may have difficulties in securing a new position due to a lack of any successful work experience during his lifetime. A greeter position at Wal-Mart was suggested due to Bush's extensive experience at shaking hands, as well as his special smile. In a press release dated today, Wal-Mart stated that the President would not be eligible for company funded healthcare insurance or retirement. AFL-CIO has offered to intercede on his behalf.

The idiot won something like third-runner-up for her troubles. Of which she's got more than a few.
Joking aside, it annoyed me that a few days later, she was invited onto one of the morning shows (Matt Lauer?) to re-answer the question ... and after several days of reliving that humiliation, barely came up with a better answer. And we're holding her up as some kind of exemplar of American teenhood. We should all be embarrassed. I'm tired of celebrating vacuity.

Uncanny resemblance. Either that or Mark's been leading a double life.
from wiki:
"Doppelgänger" has come to refer to any double or look-alike of a person—most commonly an "evil twin". The literal translation of the German word is "doublewalker", meaning someone who is acting (e.g. walking) the same way as another person. The word is also used to describe the sensation of having glimpsed oneself in peripheral vision, in a position where there is no chance that it could have been a reflection. They are generally regarded as harbingers of bad luck. In some traditions, a doppelgänger seen by a person's friends or relatives portends illness or danger, while seeing one's own doppelgänger is an omen of death. In Norse mythology, a vardøger is a ghostly double who precedes a living person and is seen performing their actions in advance

Ways I've Let Down Popular Musicians.
by John Moe
- - - -
Disappointed Chrissie Hynde by continuing to sob.
Permitted sun to go down on Elton John, thus failing him.
Failed to heed warning to stop in the name of love, broke Diana Ross's heart.
Was cruel to a heart that was true, much to the chagrin of Elvis Presley.
Stopped prior to getting enough, despite urging to the contrary by Michael Jackson.
Spoke even when told not to by Gwen Stefani.
Stopped believin', let go of the feelin', thereby enraging Steve Perry.
Clutched it too tightly, lost control, resulting in tersely worded letter from .38 Special.
Said "never"; Romeo Void merely shook their heads sadly.
Got together with only a few people, made no effort to love one another, received awkward phone call from the Youngbloods.
Monkees left at the station with only their worries after I missed the last train to Clarksville.
Failed to feel the noize, which doesn't seem like my fault, but Quiet Riot was still peeved.
Stayed perfectly sane, leaving Prince to go crazy by himself, which actually worked out best for everyone.
Went changing to try to please Billy Joel. Total fiasco.
-
That's genius, especially the Romeo Void line. But I wonder why he went with QR instead of Slade?

"River" is new to me. But a "widow" is when a single word spills onto the next line or the next page in a paragraph of text. We try to avoid them for aesthetic reasons (I've never seen the big deal, myself).

Yeah, I confess "river" is not a term I've run across much either. Like, ever. I suspect it's more graphic slang than text-related.
I don't have a problem with a widow that breaks to another line, unless, as Gaz mentioned, it goes to another page, or jumps below some art or other graphic element. Then, not so good.

SF weekly reports that the show What Not To Wear is doing an SF episode, and they have some suggestions:

the usual suspects are mentioned (The Brown Twins, Wavy Gravy, East Bay lesbians) but their blurb on Adam Duritz is priceless:
Category: White guys with dreads
"Okay, so this isn't one of the official categories, but it totally should be. God, is there a worse hairstyle? (A dreadlock mullet would be worse, but we've never actually spotted one of those.) Duritz, the Counting Crows singer, is the most conspicuous local white guy with dreads, but let us assure the What Not to Wear producers that there are plenty more where he came from in these parts — at least when they're not all in the desert at Burning Man for two weeks. If any readers happen to bump into Duritz at a Cal game, ask him a question for us: Who is he trying to look like, Sideshow Mel or Sideshow Bob?"

My association with St. Louis is limited to one airport stopover, Christmas Eve 1999. I was coked out from a late-night party the night before and was struggling to keep my shit together en route to Pittsburgh (please note: I'm not advocating this), and was freaked out by the dual shrines to the Pope and Mark McGwire that dominated the St. Louis airport. I don't wish to go back.

Musta been something else. There's never been a big C on a Cardinals cap. It's always been either the letters S-T-L intertwined, or the logo of the bird perched on the bat.

Good piece. I imagine that happens to most generations when their music becomes "hip" to the younger ones. (I remember when 50s music had a resurgence in the 70s--see also Happy Days and American Graffiti, and thinking it was odd, that I, a 14-year old, would be dancing to songs that were five years older than I was.)

I belong to Goldstar, the discount ticket club. They send emails regularly with current discounted events. So I get this one for "Slanted Comedy" at Club Deluxe.

There's all kinds of new stuff coming out every day. I bought a Titleist 905R a year and a half ago ($299) that I like a lot. The Taylor Made R7s are popular. Basically, go to Golfsmith or a similar store and try some out. In the end, they are all fairly similar, and it depends upon personal preference. You will notice a big difference with the new drivers -- even mis-hits go farther and straighter. You might be able to find some older models on sale at Sports Authority on sale and save some dough.

http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/n/a/2008/12/18/entertainment/e084126S32.DTL&tsp=1 (http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/n/a/2008/12/18/entertainment/e084126S32.DTL&tsp=1)
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.

...to the so-painfully-prescient-it's-not-even-funny-anymore:
January 17, 2001: Bush: ‘Our Long National Nightmare Of Peace And Prosperity Is Finally Over’. (in which they have Bush saying he will definitely find a country to invade, increase military spending 250% and build up a huge national debt)
...to the aftermath of each of the last two elections:
November 10, 2004: Bush Promises To Unite Nation For Real This Time.
November 5, 2008: Black Man Given Nation’s Worst Job.

We happened onto SNL this week, and saw this bit--very inspired bit! Andy Samberg's stock seems to be rising by leaps and bounds on that show.
The one that followed it about the comic characters that were trying to figure a way to save their newspapers was not bad either, if a bit morbid. Truth hurts.

The artist LeRoy Stevens spent six months (from October 2008-March 2009) going around Manhattan to every single record store. He asked employees at each one to tell him their favorite scream from a piece of music. He ended up with screams from heavy metal, punk and rock 'n roll, but also opera, the blues and rap. Stevens ordered them according to when he received the selections, and pressed the three-minute collection onto a 12-inch vinyl disk in an edition of 500. It has 74 screams, some of which are easily identifiable, like opening howl from The Who's "We Won't Get Fooled Again" or Iggy Pop's bellow from The Stooges' "T.V. Eye".

Clever publicity stunt - they've got people talking about it. I've still never tried vegemite, and given my sometimes idiosyncratic food tastes, I suspect I'd like it. If they actually want to rename the stuff, they should play up its health benefits - call it "Power-B Gel" or whatevs and sell it in American health-food stores.

From the Onion:
1999 Collaboration Between Carlos Santana, Rob Thomas Somehow Standing Test Of Time
LOS ANGELES—Sources reported Monday that "Smooth," the 1999 collaborative effort of guitarist Carlos Santana and singer-songwriter Rob Thomas, has somehow persevered against all odds and continued to receive regular radio airplay this week. "While the projections of most experts suggested 'Smooth' would fade from the national consciousness within its first year, the song has actually proved surprisingly resilient over time," noted musicologist Sidney Brown said of the No. 1 single's inexplicable staying power. "Though it seems not to have any musical or cultural relevance whatsoever, many people, myself included, find themselves humming the track's guitar lick at least once every other week." At press time, the triple-platinum, Latin-tinged rock record was heard emanating from an estimated 780,022 open car windows and 2,300 department store sound systems.

I didn't actually make a list, but I'll do a quick short one here:
Christmas Story
Nat Lampoon Christmas Vacation
It's A Wonderful Life
Elf
Miracle on 34th Street
... maybe Bad Santa?
Some TV shows:
Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer
Charlie Brown Christmas (which ABC Aired last night. The sound was slightly out of synch... Of course, without the music, it's pretty sparse and primitive).
that's about it, for now..

Charlie Brown Christmas (which ABC Aired last night. The sound was slightly out of synch... Of course, without the music, it's pretty sparse and primitive).
It was also badly edited -- in 1965 there were less commercials per half-hour on primetime network TV; to show it in a half-hour slot with more commercials they had to take 3-4 minutes out of it. If you'd never seen it before you probably didn't notice, but to those of us who've seen it dozens of times, it looked awful.

Doubtful we’ll get rehired
For the same routine in 20-19
19, 19, 19, 19, 19, 19, 19.
We didn’t start the fire
It was always burning since the world’s been turning
We didn’t start the fire
No, we didn’t light it but we tried to fight it.

Quote of the week, from Tim Goodman. I often disagree with him about TV, but he's dead-on here about a certain airheaded music celeb:
The fact that the CW trotted out Katy Perry to kick off its fall TV schedule says pretty much all you need to know about the network. It perfectly sets the divide between people who can see her transparent lack of talent and packaged-for-the-masses vapidness from those who haven't lived long enough to share the same opinion and thus think she's original, entertaining and inspirational.

OMGWTFLOL-of-the-Month (if not the Year): this clip of an endless parade of mostly-washed-up celebs and semi-celebs (some known only in Europe, but most you'll recognize) lip-synching "Let It Be" as a promo for a Norwegian TV series (!) Watch it before reading the list of names, it's kinda fun to be gobsmacked repeatedly at who's here and how bad some of 'em look.

Horrible Band Obviously Not Listening To Its Influences
July 17, 2002
SAN DIEGO— Puddle Of Mudd, a dreary nü-metal rock band that cites Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath, and Metallica as influences, is obviously not listening to those influences. "Zep, Sabbath, Metallica, Maiden, Aerosmith—growing up, that's what we listened to, and that's what shaped our sound," said lead singer Wes Scantlin, whose mopey, monotone vocals in no way bear the stamp of Robert Plant, Steven Tyler, or his other idols. Scantlin, who made the comments during an interview Monday with Spin reporter Charles Aaron, failed to say which part of Puddle Of Mudd's atrocious new ballad "Drift & Die" resembles "When The Levee Breaks" or "Sweet Emotion."

Hey, can I ask you guys a favor? I recently switched from DSL to Cable Internet, and am losing my included webhosting where I've been keeping a cache of old KPIG clips (fake commercials and such).
I moved the clips to a new server, but it may take a while for Google to pick up on the change. I've put in a link to redirect people, but I think if a few people click on it from the results Google might pick it up faster. So, here's the Google Search for [kpig clips]: http://www.google.com/search?sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8&q=kpig+clips
Just click on the top result and you'll be taken to the new site. "Queen Latifah and a White Guy" is pretty funny.

Indeed. We've liked their videos for a while now, and my wife said she could just imagine seeing their expressions when she heard them on the radio. Great to see it on the YouTubes, esp this version that more closely mirrors what they played on KFOG:

Since it's a keyboard company, I was thinking Elton John, but I don't think a simple hoop is quite his style:

Hey, I don't know if anybody here lives in Benelux (?) or France, but otherwise you're ineligible. Still, thought we could have fun figuring out who the ten "Legends" are in this contest:

Contest here: https://www.facebook.com/RolandCE?sk=app_79458893817
I think I see Thomas Dolby. Could be the keyboards and glasses...
Hey, maybe he's still big in France!

Nice. Added a smile to my mug as well. Sort of an homage to Terry Gilliam's Python animation, but really clever nonetheless.

From the video it looks like Capp tried to extend an olive branch by giving Mosca flowers, but Mosca brushes it off in his own way which offends Kapp, igniting the dustup. Too bad they can't enjoy their golden years without rancor.
Kapp in a scrap: 73-year-olds hook horns
Fists fly as the legendary ex-Cal QB and coach brawls with former CFL rival at reunion.

But one thing they don't mention is that, while smoking is bad, breast augmentation isn't that great a health choice either. That said, I've been cigarette free a little over 3 weeks, and my nipples have never felt better. :o

Smoking is not a good thing, no doubt, but really? Nipples have fallen off because of it? That seems a bit hard to believe.

Just discovered Albert Brooks' Twitter feed.
"The new Pope came out on the balcony, saw his shadow, and realized there was six more centuries of scandals."
"My neighbor is using his fireplace. Or he just elected the pope."
"I called my doctor cause the erection lasted longer than 4 hours but I got the wrong number and now that kid is suing."
"FAA to close 149 towers. Non-stop takes on a whole new meaning."

this is pretty hilarious, and adds to the "only twits Tweet" meme. The hashtag #nowthatchersdead" --- Now Thatcher's Dead -- yesterday was misread as "now that Cher's dead" by hundreds of verklempt Cher fans.

Along the same lines, here are the worst company URLs. I haven't looked to see how many
are still active.
----------
The top 10 unintentionally worst company URLs
1. A site called "Who Represents" where you can find the name of the agent that represents
a celebrity. Their domain name -- wait for -- is:
www.whorepresents.com
2. Experts Exchange, a knowledge base where programmers can exchange advice and views at:
www.expertsexchange.com
3. Looking for a pen? Look no further than Pen Island at:
www.penisland.net
4. Need a therapist? Try the Therapist Finder at:
www.therapistfinder.com
5. Then, of course, there's the Italian Power Generator company:
www.powergenitalia.com
6. And now, we have the Mole Station Native Nursery, based in New South Wales:
www.molestationnursery.com
7. If you're looking for computer software, there's always:
www.ipanywhere.com
8. Welcome to the First Cumming Methodist Church. Their website is:
www.cummingfirst.com
9. Then, of course, there's these brainless art designers, and their whacky website:
www.speedofart.com
10. Want to holiday in Lake Tahoe? Try their brochure website at:
www.gotahoe.com

another reason to follow Albert Brooks on Twitter:
Yesterday Howard Stern tweeted " I'm declaring here, once and for all: I've never tasted my own semen!"
(Thanks Howard; good to know)
To which Brooks replied "Damn it. I just lost a $20 bet!"

a FB friend who also listens to AT40 every weekend was listing this week's songs (March 1979) and posted the Jacksons' "Shake Your Body" as "Shake Your Buddy". I quipped that "Shake Your Buddy" was the gay remake by Disc-O-Texx but it sailed right over his head.
