Italian Restaurant
Hey, any Ann Arborites know where I can score some of this stuff?
Dr. T's Mosquito & Gnat Scat
It's this mix you sprinkle on the ground which is composed entirely of garlic, peppermint, and clay powder.
Sounds hippy-dippy, but I'll be damned if it isn't the A-#1 best way to have a mosquito-free week up north.
Best part: instead of smelling like chemicals it smells exactly like an Italian restaurant.
I've been looking for it everywhere and keep striking out.
Goody?
Tawny?
Brandon?
Doug?
Earl?
Jonny Ballz?
Any other friends of the Earth know where I can score me some scat?

I've studied the history of psychiatry.
This Just In: Tom Cruise is fucking crazy.
At about the eight-minute mark of this interview with Matt Lauer, the acid kicks in and he starts going off on how he knows the history of psychiatry and how he's smarter than Brooke Shields...I think Tim Curry put a hex on him way back when they were filming 'Legend' together.

Every year, the University of Michigan publishes the salaries of all of their employees in an excel file. This little interface allows you to look up the salary of anyone who works at UofM by name.
So if you know anybody who works at UofM and they owe you five bucks, you can see if they are holding out on you.
In case you haven't seen it, Nike has "borrowed" Minor Threat's design style pretty much letter-perfect, co-opting one of the few genuinely indie entities in an effort to get people to buy more overpriced shoes from a massive, soul-crushing corporation.
Needless to say, Dischord Records is pretty pissed about it.

Yet another of my million dollar ideas has come to fruition (uh...without me earning a million dollars from it) in this cell phone for kids. It has three buttons: One for Mom, one for Dad, and one for 911. No plan, just pre-paid cards, so if little Bryce's soccer game is over early, he can just call home (or the cops I guess).
I gotta start patenting some of these.
Also: Is anyone else cheezed off about that little digital chirping that seems to be happening more and more through the speakers in your home, in your car, and even in studios you've recently been in? That little "Doot-doot-doodooot" that seems to be occurring about every 20 minutes or so? Turns out that's cell phone noise signaling the nearby towers to receive a call.
Man that's a pain in the ass. Shouldn't that be regulated somehow?

To be fair, the dog also bites her labrador on it's penis.

a robust and out-of-the box network

Biz-speak passed around the office today:
"After cultivating and aggregating the synergies between our architectures, I believe that a collaborative implementation of our data structures incentivized by the mission-critical paradigms that we need to develop and deliver can be optimized by a robust and out-of-the box network of our market partnership."
it was in jest, by the way.
Perry found this choice piece of gossip regarding Sco-Jo backing out of Mission Impossible 3 because Tom Cruise totally weirded her out with his Scientology voodoo.
I keep wondering "could this girl get any cooler?" and the answer is "No."
Maria Sharapova makes grunting noises as loud as a small aircraft.

Ok, so this half-arsed post is really just an excuse to try out my FoxPro DataWhat HTML builder.prg:

SET func f9 to '<a href="___"target="_blank"><img src="___" alt="___" title="___" border="0"/></a>'
@30,5 say 'F1 = <b><a href='

@33,5 say 'F4 = <font size="1">'

Obsessive Playlisting via iTunes
First of all, let me say we don't use the word "Obsessive" in our house. PJ has Firefly, and I have pretty much everything else.
Soo... The thing I've been interested in lately is creating good playlists on my laptop using the internal functionality of iTunes. I goofed around with a couple different ways and I think I came up with a pretty decent system for creating playlists for any mood, style or situation.
Basically what do is I use the "Comments" field to create a quick mood or tone for each track,
then use the "Smart Playlist" function to build playlists for these elements.
click for larger image
Example: I enjoy sitting on my porch and drinking beer until late in the evening, so I've made a playlist that I have called "Chill Night" (sorry, that's sort of a retarded name, but it works) by tagging all of the songs that I think would fit as "Chill Night" in the comments field, then went up to File -> New Smart Playlist then Match The Following Conditions: Comments :: Contains :: "Chill Night" which creates a playlist with all of these songs in one playlist:
If you'll notice, I've even refined some of the comment elements even further: There's times when you want to be out on the porch and hold hands with your darlin' so you want some upbeat sweet sunset music ("Chill Night Up"), and other times when you'd rather be out there on your own, contemplating the universe and thinking about your Granddad who passed on, in which case you need some more minor key music ("Chill Night Down").
With this setup, you can create one broad playlist called "Chill Night" which would contain everything with those two words in the Comments, and two smaller, more refined lists called "Chill Night Up" and "Chill Night Down" for either more specific mood:
Ha! But it gets even crazier! You'll notice that a couple of the songs in the list say "Beatles Chill Night Up"...this means that the song "Baby It's You" will show up under the "Chill Night" list, the "Chill Night Up" list and under the "Beatles" list ('cause there are some days that you just want to listen to every Beatles song in alphabetical order).
So as you can see, I get pretty involved with it:
I've got playlists for Reading (all Classical and instrumental Jazz), playlists for Summer (Sunshine Pop, Luna, Beck, and The Monkees), a playlist for PJ (all stuff that she likes: Deee-Lite, Beastie Boys, INXS), a playlist I call SMRT (Radiohead, Coldplay, The Velvet Teen, The Postal Service), plus playlists for Impulse Jazz, Blue Note stuff, Early Jazz, Reggae, Bluegrass, the obligatory Alt Country playlist... anything I can think of.
Finally, I'll tag anything that I would consider good Party Music as Five Stars in the "My Rating" field, so that no matter what category or playlist a song is in, I can throw it into the "My Top Rated" playlist and dial that up when it's party time (i.e. I need to scrub the kitchen floor).
I never really use any "Recently Played" or "Just Added" functionality, and I don't really rate the songs as Two Stars or Three Stars (uh...If I don't like a song, I just leave it off the laptop).
More cool playlist ideas Here and Here
So that's about it. If anybody wonders why my eyes are bleeding and I'm muttering under my breath mrr mrr AMGRadio...playlisting...themes and tones...smrt... that's where the mania comes from.

Cowboy: "Hey dog, how's it going?"
Dog: "Doin' alright."
Indian: Look of shock.
Cowboy: "Is this Indian your owner?" pointing at the Indian.
Dog: "Yep"
Cowboy: "How does he treat you?"
Dog: "Real good. He walks me twice a day, feeds me great food, and takes me to the lake once a week to play."
Indian: Look of total disbelief.
Cowboy: "Mind if I talk to your horse?"
Indian: "Horse no talk."
Cowboy: "Hey horse, how's it going?"
Horse: "Cool."
Indian: Extreme look of shock.
Cowboy: "Is this your owner? " pointing at Indian
Horse: "Yep"
Cowboy: "How's he treat you?"
Horse: "Pretty good, thanks for asking. He rides me regularly, brushes me down often, and keeps me in a shed to protect me."
Indian: Total look of utter amazement.
Cowboy: "Mind if I talk to your sheep?"
Indian: "Sheep liar."

I imagine it's the lazy and lurid look of expectation on the woman's face.
She really wants that hot dog in her mouth, but isn't hurrying to get to it.
Either that or the startlingly white buck teeth of Chip sitting next to her.
Also there's this weird sexual dynamic in the whole group, three guys, two girls, two couples have obviously paired up,
and then there's the one guy deep throating his Shasta in the background going:
"Hey man, I'm cool with whatever...either way, what happens at the picnic stays at the picnic, bros!"

Tonight I'm gonna rock you Tonight has never been used.
OK, so I'm at fucking Kroger, right? And this weird dude is the checkout guy, and he's ringing up the lady in front of me, right? And so this box of Nestle's Quik has one of those Magic Eye optical illusions on the back, right? With me so far? So this weird little Kroger Troll says "Hey! This is one of those things where if you stare at it, a picture shows up!" so he sets the box up in front of him on the checkout counter and stares at it as he's scanning the lady's stuff. And this lady has like a thousand Yoplait yogurts, but Kroger Troll can't take his eyes off of the magic eye thing for fear that he might be this close to revealing the image with his wizard powers. So he's moving slower and slower, blindly fishing for these thousand yoplaits...and slower...and slower..until finally he just stops.
Just staring at the box.
Just. Staring.
So the Yoplait Queen and I look at eachother like "What the fuck?" until finally I say "Hey brother, I gotta get these otter pops home before they expire."
Luckily "Otter Pop" is the magic word that broke the spell and he started ringing up the rest of her yogurts..

Slate has a terrific list of incongruous ads in songs.
The big winner is Royal Caribbean Cruise Lines, which used Iggy Pop's "Lust for Life" in a series of spots.
"I don't know what Iggy means when he says that he's 'had it in the ear before,' but I'm sure Royal Caribbean won't allow it on their cruise ships."
Third place goes to Mercedes-Benz's use of Janis Joplin's "Mercedes Benz":
"I've always wondered about Janis Joplin's 'Mercedes Benz,' which I always interpreted as a song critical of capitalism and materialism through the tragedy of poor people asking God in despair for the ultimate upper class status symbol which somehow will erase the pain of poverty. Joplin did drive a Porsche. Then again, she probably vomited in it."
Another winner:
"It all started with the posthumous butchering of Nick Drake's 'Pink Moon' for Volkswagen (the spot pictured four carefree slackers driving in a convertible to a party they decide not to go to because they are having such an awesome, non-lonely, super-unsuicidal time together).

Memories
A couple in their nineties are both having problems remembering things.
They decide to go to the doctor for a checkup. The doctor tells them that they're physically okay, but they might want to start writing things down to help them remember.
Later that night while watching TV, the old man gets up from his chair.
His wife asks, "Where are you going?"
"To the kitchen" he replies.
"Will you get me a bowl of ice cream?"
"Sure."
"Don't you think you should write it down so you can remember it?" she asks.
"No, I can remember it."
"Well, I'd like some strawberries on top, too. You'd better write it down because you know you'll forget it."
He says, "I can remember that! You want a bowl of ice cream with strawberries."
"I'd also like whipped cream. I'm certain you'll forget that, so you'd better write it down!" she retorts.
Irritated, he says, "I don't need to write it down, I can remember it! Leave me alone! Ice cream with strawberries and whipped cream - I got it, for Christ's sake!" Then he grumbles into the kitchen.
After about 20 minutes, the old man returns from the kitchen and hands his wife a plate of bacon and eggs.
She stares at the plate for a moment and says - "Where's my toast?"

While it sounds like the name of a porn star, I assure you it is a video game.

Pretty funny little movie with two girls trying to pick up the same guy at a bar.
Never underestimate the power of a cute brunette with glasses.

No, I don't really know either, but I'm way into these dudes on the bikes in the lower left.

Memories
A couple in their nineties are both having problems remembering things.
They decide to go to the doctor for a checkup. The doctor tells them that they're physically okay, but they might want to start writing things down to help them remember.
Later that night while watching TV, the old man gets up from his chair.
His wife asks, "Where are you going?"
"To the kitchen" he replies.
"Will you get me a bowl of ice cream?"
"Sure."
"Don't you think you should write it down so you can remember it?" she asks.
"No, I can remember it."
"Well, I'd like some strawberries on top, too. You'd better write it down because you know you'll forget it."
He says, "I can remember that! You want a bowl of ice cream with strawberries."
"I'd also like whipped cream. I'm certain you'll forget that, so you'd better write it down!" she retorts.
Irritated, he says, "I don't need to write it down, I can remember it! Leave me alone! Ice cream with strawberries and whipped cream - I got it, for Christ's sake!" Then he grumbles into the kitchen.
After about 20 minutes, the old man returns from the kitchen and hands his wife a plate of bacon and eggs.
She stares at the plate for a moment and says - "Where's my toast?"

A-#1 thing of the day:
A quick video of Celine Dion imitating Michael Jackson
She's bad. Sha-mon.

It's not often I'll add a link to my sidebar on the same day that it is brought to my attention, but I feel that Boners.com is really speaking my language.
Looks like they just add a couple funny photos every day: goofy building names, funny marquee signs, hot dog jokes, silly forigners, and...well ...boners (in the "classic" sense, like "Oop, Harvey really pulled a boner there!" kinda thing).
Some McDonalds are putting in music burning kiosks in a handful of their restaurants.
"In addition to promising instant ring tones, [the Blaze Net kiosks burn] CDs in under two minutes..."
Any word on licensing? I'm guessing you can't just go in and burn old Dylan records, or get that long-out-of-print Smithsonian Folkways LP...is it just gonna be Micky D's tie-in stuff?
I need details. And two apple pies for a dollar.
Quick story from Dave Below recounting the nostalgic joy of the beer fridge in the garage.
"Those old school jukebox-shaped fridges from back in the day, with the cooler door handle latch. You knew you were opening up something serious opening up the beer fridge."
.:PizzaWhat?:. These dorks have developed a UNIX program to order a pizza, complete with video.
And here I've been using the phone like a chump.
Bono and The Edge go to heaven. They stand before God, who is sitting in judgment.
God asks, "Edge, what do you believe in?"
The Edge says, "I believe in Gibson guitars, my band, and my music."
God says, "Good, my son. Stand to my right. Bono, what do you believe?"
Bono says, "I don't know about all that stuff, but I believe you are in my chair."
For those not hip to YTMND sites, they all started with the original YoureTheManNowDog.com which is just a lo-fi page with Sean Connery saying his famous line from Finding Forrester over and over again. Get Wiki with it here.
Anyhoo, here are some good recent ones, brought to my attention by ThighsWideShut:
Darth Vader's No dance.
Pee Wee Herman's secret word.
Conan O'Brien making popcorn complete with classical music.
and the best one:
Darth Vader learns about the birds & the bees from Burger King no less.
Man I dunno why I find them so funny...probably because they are.
By the way, Google found Carmen Sandiego.
Hmm. Cairo, whaddya know.
