Moisture or no, suddenly we're the chumps.
Apparently This Image has the names of 75 bands in it.
I found four or five, then got really distracted by the Queen shooting the Prince with dildos.

Funny memo from The Onion attributed to the CEO and President of The Gillette Company called "Fuck Everything, We're Doing Five Blades"
"Would someone tell me how this happened? We were the fucking vanguard of shaving in this country. The Gillette Mach3 was the razor to own. Then the other guy came out with a three-blade razor. Were we scared? Hell, no. Because we hit back with a little thing called the Mach3Turbo. That's three blades and an aloe strip. For moisture. But you know what happened next? Shut up, I'm telling you what happened—the bastards went to four blades. Now we're standing around with our cocks in our hands, selling three blades and a strip. Moisture or no, suddenly we're the chumps. Well, fuck it. We're going to five blades."

It's so cold in this...house -- Bloc Party
Had a good thanksgiving, good to see the fam and what-not. Came home, read for a while, went to bed. Woke up at 2 in the morning with the household at a crisp 55 degrees. Sleepy PJ says: "We need to fix the house. It is broken." 2:15 = Pull apart the furnace, hunt online for a PDF of a Lennox Elite G23 User's Manual. HVAC How-To forums all point to a broken blower motor or a busted BCC Board. Give up at 4:00. Leave water running so the pipes don't freeze. Wake up, call the furnace repair guy (day after thanksgiving, lucky to find a guy who's willing to come out). He says the BCC board's burned out. Shows it to me, looks like a motherboard that somebody's used as an ashtray. $350 later, our furnace works.
This is a week to the day that we had to pull our entire toilet out to find a leak that was dripping all the way down into our basement (through the walls of the first floor).
Y'know, maybe renting instead of buying is a better idea...
Farts are Awesome!

Looks like they're auctioning off many of the costumes from Firefly including Mal's Browncoat.
Bidding starts at $1500 and Christmas is right around the corner.
Some choice Bill Bonds audio clips on his site.
Big fan of his Radio intros, especially the classic rock one.
Like it or not, here's the new INXS single.
Thoughts: PJ says one of the Farris brothers looks like Jim Morrison in his "Large Mammal" phase. The new lead singer is doing his best to do a Michael Hutchence impression, and isn't quite hitting it. The band still sounds good, and when the chorus kicks in, it does kinda sound like INXS. And I like the bridge.
The whole album is a different story (available Here streamed from VH1's site). Each of the songs seems perfectly tailored for the eight second bumper right before the kids go out to the club on The Real World Austin. Little snapshots and catchphrases like "Hot Girls!" and "It's the Devil's Party!"...just right for coming out of commercials, or footage of those wacky Road Rules coeds gearing up for a challenge.
Not exactly transcendent, but certainly marketable.
Mr Miyagi? He's D.Y.K.
The Girl Karate Kid: What's going on?
Mr. Miyagi: Nothing. Just monks having good time.
The Girl Karate Kid: I thought they were supposed to be spiritual
Mr. Miyagi: Never trust spiritual leader who doesn't dance.
I dunno why I didn't know this before, but Borat has a website where he responds to the accusation that "We do not rule out that Mr. Cohen is serving someone's political order designed to present Kazakhstan and its people in a derogatory way. "
Women are now allowed to travel inside of bus.
I dunno how many of you grew up on the Richard Scarry childrens books, but this site illustrates some of the changes between the 1960 edition and the 1991 edition. Like lots of gender equality: Mrs. Farmer is now out in the field, and the Father is now in the kitchen. And the Milkman? What milkman?
Besides, even if he did exist, he would be a "Milk Delivery Carrier" and probably drawn as a woman.

Not as good as this one from Esquire (the magazine, not the gay rapper).

Not back to their previous fighting weight, but at least she doesn't look like a piece of string cheese with Vendi sunglasses anymore. Plus, in picture 4 she's reading some kind of teen girl Choose Your Own Adventure book.
Jessica Alba and Rosario Dawson kinda making out.

For the ladies, here's a birthday cake with a big penis on it that says Happy Birthday Mom.

My life changed this weekend when I ate at Slows BBQ in Corktown. Brian & Derek shared a slab of baby-back ribs (kinda like in Lady & the Tramp) with cornbread and Mac & Cheese, and I had a Jesus sandwich. It was called the JP Special or something but I call it the Jesus Sandwich because it tasted just like our lord and saviour. Pulled pork with an onion marmalade and a mustard something something sauce served on Texas toast with a side of cornbread. Holy God. It was the only time in my life when I wanted to instantly have eaten everything already, and I also wished that I could keep eating that Jesus Sandwich forever.
Nice review at the Metro Times.

More funny: The Phat Phree takes on the horror of puberty on TV.
Jeremy Miller AKA Ben Seaver (Growing Pains):
He was one of the most awkward-looking debacles of puberty around. He donned a pencil-thin high school mustache and a mullet that couldn’t decide if it belonged to a “Keytarist” or a “Magician”. If I was a producer on this show, I’d have killed off old Ben Seaver around season four or five.
Top Thirty facts about Chuck Norris:
#6 Chuck Norris once roundhouse kicked someone so hard that his foot broke the speed of light, went back in time, and killed Amelia Earhart while she was flying over the Pacific Ocean.

"Honest" Abe
Uhhh...I came to DataWhat today to find my Template augmented adding a "Comments By Abe" link in my Blogroll. Uh, Abe? Who the fuck are you? And how the hell did you gain access to my Blogger profile? Also, why do you even have a blog? You are posting nothing of interest...and for that matter, why do you have an RSS feed for your uninteresting blog, along with an RSS feed for your comments? Dude...You've only ever had one comment, and you wrote it! Not to mention your Atom feed and your WordPress link. Who is so starved for Abe News that they need four feed links?
Needless to say, the hatches have been battened down at Fort DataWhat, so this should not happen again.
that's pretty much all you'd need, right?

If you push her pregnant belly she says "Look out! It's a Twister!" or "Bubba Junior, get off your sister" just like the Barbie in my nightmares.
Aren't there enough unpleasant things going on in the men's room without a mural of women's faces jeering and laughing?

Top of Page 16 "Phew. Your life has been saved by beedogs."

Squeak fish
The oboe (by far the sexiest of all reed instruments)
Van Halen's first four albums.
Derek's wife Susan
Mike Macharyas' stoopid/hilarious songs about celebrities (he just repeats celebrity names over a Casiotone beat...like the classic tune Kevin Federline).
The #2 meal at McDonalds (with an orange drink)
HTML
Sara Hall particularly this picture.
Playing Tetris on my cellphone.
Bill Hicks
Jim Manheim
And my one wish:
I wish I loved The Hold Steady as much as everbody else on the planet seems to.
Don't get me wrong, the lyrics are so good (as evidenced by this post from ahem May of this year), but the guy's voice reminds me of M.Doughty from Soul Coughing and the detachable penis from King Missle (with a little bit of the guy from Cake). Not that there's any thing wrong with SoulCoughingKingMissleCake, but if I want angry bar room rants from a drunken singer, I've got Brian Raleigh to guide me, and his lyrics are better (and he's honestly drunk...not just being slyly ironic).
how now, brown bureaucrat ?

Attention anyone else on MySpace: If you are using a MySpace name that is cute/ironic/pop-cultural and you have absolutely no actual information about yourself or photos of yourself and you want to be cyberpals with me, you need to send me an e-mail saying "hey, y'know that Count Ghooly-Saddle-Pantaloons friend invite you got?

Boobwall
This clever lingerie company has constructed an entire wall of silicon breasts in different sizes so that men can determine what size Cans their wives and/or girlfriends have.
(I think it's that blue thing in the background that looks like a wall of boobs)
Although I'm not sure I'd want to work at a store where men wander in and just grope the walls...
I bet they've got to be wiped down with disinfectant pretty often.

The iPod "is changing the way we store, carry, and use all kinds of information—and the way we interact with each other" according to this upcoming book. More great stuff here.
Playlist anxiety and pruning There are few better barometer’s of someone’s character than their music collection, but until recently you had to be invited to their home to get a look at it. In other words, before the iPod and iTunes, getting such an intimate peek into a person’s soul required, well, a certain level of intimacy. But now people are exposing their taste in music—or hopeless lack thereof—at workplaces, college campuses and coffee shops, thanks to iTunes’s ability to share music over a network. Similarly, a quick gander at someone’s iPod reveals the same information.
This has lead to a new kind of music snobbery called playlistism. Music snobs amuse themselves by laughing at a colleague’s collection of showtunes, or the hopelessly pretentious jazz of the goatee-ed guy at the other end of the dorm. The flipside of this phenomenon is a new kind of fear, playlist anxiety, or worrying what other people will think of you based you your music. For some people this fear is significant enough that, knowing that others might be looking, they groom their collections to put them in the best possible light. Playlist anxiety has led to playlist pruning. (This isn’t just speculation, either. Researchers in Palo Alto recently studied office workers and found many were anxious about their image as revealed by their music library—and managed it appropriately.)

Gotta keep the medical professionals at St. Joes happy.
Some things make me think there are still smart people in the world. McSweeny's is one of those things.
Here is an open letter to Dick Cheney.
Let me express my condolences for the loss of your chief of staff, Lewis "Scooter" Libby. With all true Americans, I recognize the valuable service Mr. Libby performed for you and the country, particularly the oil companies, over the past five years, and the key role he played in helping to create the democratic paradise of today's Iraq. Certainly history will smile upon his contributions and gloss over the baseless charges brought against him by political partisans. (Perjury? Come on! It's not like the guy got a blowjob ...)
In the meantime, obviously, you will be in need of a new chief of staff, so let me get right to the point: I'm your man.
My qualifications are as follows:
1. I am pure evil. I can provide letters of reference from former girlfriends, as well as from my previous landlord, to attest to this fact.
It obvi-lariously continues after that.

Did you say you wanted to see a guy from the '80s combining skateboarding and the fruitiness of ice dancing? Really? Huh. 'Cause I coulda swore you did.
Some banner ads may be NSFW,unless you REALLY want to find a Lady Friend for sex in the Chicago area, in which case this may be the perfect site for you.
This Trek nerd badly Photoshops celebrities to look like Orion Slave girls (meaning he takes Maxim and Stuff photo shoots and applies the Green filter to them).
Dork-tacular that Charisma Carpenter is among the first ones he put into Orion Green slavery.
Whoa! If you paste this phrase: Trek nerd badly Photoshops celebrities to look like into Firefox's address bar, you get this page about Watermelon Mishaps.
The world is a disturbing place.
So I was looking at these photos of Evangeline Lilly kissing Dominic Monaghan and I accidentally blurted out "Whoa! I didn't know Charlie was going out with anybody from Lost, let alone The Good One" which prompted PJ to ask first: "The Good One, huh?" and then go into this awesome dissertation on how Kate always makes this totally goofy "Krinkly Face" like she's concerned and skeptical at the same time, and if you watch Lost, you'll totally be laughing right now, because that's totally true...she's always like "Oh really Sawyer/Jack/Claire? I feel your pain but am also a complex human being with my own twists and turns, but here is a face that shows confusion and empathy."
Best girl around. ...The one I'm married to, not "The Good One"
Again: WHOA! Old skool footage of Rodney Mullen, by far my favorite skater of all time. Yeah, that's right, get that air, Christian Hosoi, spin in circles Tony Hawk, do that cool new thing, new guy who isn't from 1985, you will never be able to touch Rodney Mullen who freestyled like a renaissance painter whose palate was making you say "Oh My God!

Stoplight
I was at a stoplight on Maple and Scio Church road today and I watched this jogger with an iPod waiting at the same light. He jogged in place and kept hitting the shuffle button on his iPod. Over and over with each hit, I saw him shake his winter-capped head as if to say "Nope, not Cat Stevens [click]...Nope, not Nick Drake [click]...Nope, not David Gray [click]" until I finally saw him smile, nod his head and say "Yeah, that's my Jam!" and take off when the light turned green.
I thought "There's gotta be a better way."
You should be able to hit one button on your consumer electronic device and have it bring back exactly what you're looking for, whether you're jogging in traffic or trying to get some on a Saturday night...today's technology should make it easy for you.
That guy's particular jam was in there, but it took him fifteen or twenty bad hits until he got to where he needed to be. We're smarter than that, people. This should be available to everyone. The iPod has revolutionized the way we listen to music (and don't let anyone tell you different, they are uninformed) and that little round wheel doesn't do nearly enough.
