the banality, bad planning, and hilarity of john mccain’s speech on tuesday has been discussed to death.
but i want to focus on one particular line that had kirk and me hooting with laughter.
and of course there’s a long hilarious discussion on digg.
hopefully by november this guy will, at a minimum, learn to read a teleprompter, [...]
enjoying my stouffer’s lean cuisine grilled chicken caesar for lunch today, looking at the box, and reading the ingredients, when i see this:
let me zoom in for you:
putting aside the misspelling of tilapia, it’s not very appetizing to use fish gelatin for the pasta (not sure why pasta needs gelatin anyway?) in a dish of [...]
via daring fireball, a tour of the creation museum, from just the right perspective.
here’s a sample:
Let me say this much: I have to admit admiration for the pure balls-out, high-octane creationism that’s on offer here. Not for the Creation Museum that mamby-pamby weak sauce known as “Intelligent Design,” which tries to slip God by as [...]
from my yahoo! home page this morning:
City leaders have scrapped plans to do away with the Sioux Gateway Airport’s unflattering three-letter identifier — SUX — and instead have made it the centerpiece of the airport’s new marketing campaign. The code, used by pilots and airports worldwide and printed on tickets and luggage tags, will be [...]
The Internet Has Always Had Loud Dumb People…but I’ve never seen anything quite as bad as the people who comment on Youtube videos.
At least according to the hysterically funny [and dead-on accurate] cartoon at the link above.
via digg, which certainly has its share of idiotic commenters. feel free to leave your own idiotic comments [...]
day in and day out, fake steve jobs for my money has the funniest blog on the web. even if you aren’t an apple fan, it’s still worth a read. his takes on apple, technology, current events, and miscellany are consistently hilarious.
and often insightful as well.
as was the case with a recent post: [...]
as a follow-up to Tuscan Whole Milk, 1 Gallon, 128 fl oz, which i wrote about last year, i humbly present JL421 Badonkadonk Land Cruiser/Tank, for sale at amazon.com at the low low price of $19,999.95. order before midnight tonight and receive your first battle supply of shells at no extra cost.

oh, boston. i’m glad you aren’t my home. the home of public officials so stupid that they can’t tell the difference between a lite-brite and a terrorist bomb device.
basically, it was guerilla marketing in a couple of dozen cities over the past few weeks. none of the other cities were idiotic enough [...]
at least according to this website, it is.
from the site:
So, I’ve been asked what technically IS a Blog Crush? It’d likely include some, if not all, of the following:
A) You can’t wait to read what they post next.
B) You want to be friends with them.
C) You think they are the cat’s meow. Meow!
D) You might [...]
you can sing all of emily dickinson’s poems to the tune of the theme from “gilligan’s island”. did you know that?
my former students do. most of them were forced to hear me sing “because i could not stop for death” or some such thing.
you can also sing her poems to the tune of [...]
too busy to read the new yorker?
me too.
too many words, too much density, too few pictures, too much of a commitment, too much of an expense, too much thought required.
just for us, the haiku version of the new yorker, updated weekly.
sorry, eustace.

for whatever reason, my favorite new blog (which i’ve written about before), is down and out.
the fake steve jobs assures us that he will return, but in the meantime if you missed out on the fun, you can look at the google cache of the old site.
the fake steve says about all this:
Dudes, I had [...]
via consumerist, here’s the funniest link i’ve seen in ages:
Amazon.com: Reviews for Tuscan Whole Milk, 1 Gallon, 128 fl oz.
amazon.com is selling grocery items now, and of course, it being amazon, people are reviewing them. i read this, and laughed until i cried.
all the internet tubes are definitely going to waste for me today.
[...]
and the blog i wish i’d thought of.
it’s a fake (i’m assuming it’s fake, anyway) blog written by someone who purports to be steve jobs of apple, called The Secret Diary of Steve Jobs, Aged 51 1/2.
subtitled: “Dude, I invented the friggin iPod, okay? Have you heard of it?”
whoever writes this thing is a genius. [...]
earlier i wrote about a guy who thought an onion article on abortion was real, and wrote a scathing blog about it.
he’s interviewed on salon. it’s a great read.
also, i wrote a couple of days ago about the idiocy of the government’s terrorist target list. turns out that, as a further example of [...]
if you played football (soccer for the u.s. crowd) for brazil, what would your name be?
the brazilian football name generator will tell you.
mine is “howeiro”.
this is much easier than figuring out your drag name, which involves remembering your first pet’s name and the street you grew up on, facts that anyone interested in their drag [...]
i used to read more. i used to accomplish more. i used to tinker more. i used to explore more. i used to move more.
now i just watch tv.
it’s an addiction, you know. and boy am i addicted. and, to be honest, i probably don’t watch any more tv [...]
the onion is a satirical newspaper whose goal is to present satirical content in a straightforward manner, so much so that their articles can be mistaken for real.
mistaken for real, that is, if you are a total idiot who has no concept of what satire is.
which, apparently, is the case with pete, the fellow running [...]
whoever the hell she is.
myheritage.com is a cool-ish new (new to me, anyway) geneaology website that has face-recognition software that, i suppose, is supposed to be useful in tracking down just who the hell that person in the back of that old photo is, or something.
but to attract mass amounts of users of the interweb, [...]
