Are You Bored?

Nothing to do? Stuck in a small town?

Look a little like that kid from Almost Famous,

only you're a girl and you fell out of the ugly tree,

hitting every branch on the way down?

Why don't you try robbing a house?

Oh.

That's why.

Cat Head Theatre

Now I finally understand why my cats won't talk to me.

They sound ridiculous. I'd be embarrassed, too.

Bloody Sewers!?!

"A Minneapolis city worker is worried about blood in the
sewer system because he said, while he was cleaning the system, blood sprayed
out of a hole and got all over him."

Cleaning out the sewers is a crap job anyway, but I don't think I'd be coming back after this.

Some Things Never Change

Immigration: The human cost.

The good people at ONN remind us that the statistics we hear about immigration pale in comparison to the true human cost of this new phenomenon thousands of years in the making.

Emo: A Plague On Our Modern Youth

Rarely does a news report reduce me to tears, but this really got to me. It made me weep for the future...of journalism. Mostly, though, I was having trouble breathing and I couldn't see through the tears because I was laughing so hard. I recognize most of the "reference" materials they used to make this report. I recognize them because they are from joke sites posted on the Internet.

Apple Does It Again!

The unveiling of the iRack!

1200 What?!?

Just what I always wanted! A necklace made of 1200 anuses!

This is the classic reason why you should never use a Spanish-English dictionary to translate something for you without someone there to sanity-check it.

A quick lesson: (Spanish-->English)

ano = anus
año = year
hecho = fact OR hecho = made
atrás= behind
años atrás= years ago

So the nearest I can tell, this should read: 1200-year-old necklace made of quartz, gold, and spondilus: shell of a giant (something) that died hundreds of years ago, native to northern South America (Peru)
