How To Sound Like The Knife, From A Dude That Apparently Doesn't Like The Knife All That Much.
Very rarely is a band’s unique sonic character defined by a single effect but honestly, all songwriting and execution aside, there isn’t much that is wholly distinctive about the group insofar as sounds are concerned. The beats aren’t revolutionary and could very well have come from any can of prefab loops. The synth sounds are fairly generic and not treated in any inventive new way. The album itself is fairly quiet by today’s standards, perhaps attributable to a Swedish mastering job.
Ouch.

A Guide To All The "Suspected" Gay Characters In World Of Warcraft.
Disclaimer: There are no confirmed cases of gay characters by the World of Warcraft developers. Most of these are either Belligerent Sexual Tension, wishful thinking, or a little bit of both. Regardless, it’s fun to imagine that Azeroth isn’t completely heteronormative.

Joe The Plumber Steps In To Support Teabagger Pro-Puppy Mill Lobbying.
Yeah, you heard that right. Human cartoon character well-past his 15 minutes Joe The Plumber is the new "celebrity" face of a Missouri Tea Bagger pro-puppy mill lobbying movement. The movement seeks to strike down a bill which will attempt to eliminate the 3,000 brutal puppy mills in the state.
It's like the dude is just seeking to align himself with the most repellent movements he can put his name on. Hey, I've got a wardrobe suggestion for Joe The Plumber-
Or, you know, you could just go back to your farm and resume whittling. Just go the fuck away.

A Pair Of Crazy, Conspiracy-Themed Bills I Got Once.
A couple of real bills I recieved as part of my tipout from a bar I used to work at about 5 years ago:
$10: "The case of Donna Dial of Round Rock, Texas was a sad one of a bright young woman gone insane with paranoid schizophrenia purely from a biological dysfunction in her brain. This is obvious to anyone who watched her ceaselessly wandering & chaotic description of her beliefs & the tears of her mother that witnessed her decline before Donna killed her and her landlord in a delusion (watch "The System *illegible*" on CourtTV). But the prosecutor in Williamson County insisted she was sane, which resulted in Dial being sent to prison rather than a mental hospital. This barbarity could only occur where primitive religion saturates the culture as it does there. Remember Thomas Willis. Tax exemptions for religion coerce Atheists to subsidize it. National God mottoes coerce pretend religious belief. These laws are unjust and unconstitutional. NO JUST GOD WOULD EVER ALLOW EVIL. FREE WILL IS A BAD JOKE. Do you understand that insanity (what the supernatural religious call "demon possession") is a purely internal neurological organizational dysfunction that can be transmitted by verbal command?"
$5: "Somebody ought to tell the truth about the bible. The preachers dare not because they would be driven from their pulpits. Professors dare not, because they would lose their salaries. Politicians dare not, they would be defeated. Editors dare not, they would lose subscribers. Merchants dare not because they might lose customers. Men of fashion dare not, because they might lose caste. Even clerks dare not because they might be discharged. And so I thought I might do it myself."- Robert G Ingersoll (About The Holy Bibile, 1894 y.b.m.*) *y.b.m.= years of a big myth. IS THIS THE SAME GOD THAT ORDERED THE SLAUGHTER OF WOMEN AND CHILDREN (deut 3:24 & 21:17-18). Read The Bible According To Mark Twain. Religious bragging notwithstanding, the bible is not the greatest work of literature. The book of numbers is mind-numbing. Twain and Shakespeare are better. Tax exemptions for religion coerce Atheists to subsidize it. National God mottoes coerce pretend religious belief. These laws are unjust and unconstitutional."
Seriously, even clerks.

The Guy Who Wrote The "Jumping The Shark" Episode Of Happy Days Weighs In On The Phrase.
And, in defending it, seems to completely misunderstand what the phrase actually means.
Fortunately, my career didn't jump the shark after "jump the shark." When "Happy Days" ended, I went directly to the ABC Paramount hit show "Webster" and, after that, wrote and produced, among others, "It's Your Move," "He's the Mayor, "The New Leave It to Beaver" and "Family Matters." In 1987, Brian Levant and I created the action comedy "My Secret Identity," which won an International Emmy.

Facebook Community Page For "To Many"
A while back, Facebook started auto-creating community pages for stuff people were listing under their interests. This also included all the misspelled and grammatically incorrect stuff. So you wind up with something like this.
Look under "Related Posts" and "Related Global Posts". Now you can see just how many of your friends and fellow Facebook users can't get that phrase right.
I'd love to hear about any other misspelled fan and community pages (auto-created or not) that have a huge amount of followers as well. This entertains me quite a bit for some reason.

Ann Coulter Used To Be Pretty Cute, In A Dorky Way.
I've seen this pic thrown around on the internet a bit, with various commentary. One thing nobody has pointed out is how absolutely adorable she is. I mean, those cheeks, that turtleneck, that cute little bob haircut, she's in the fencing club for godsakes...
I think I'm totally developing a crush on Ann Coulter, circa 1980 or so. I would totally have invited her out so we could sit across from each other in beanbag chairs, eating french fries and listening to Voices by Hall And Oates with a pair of giant headphones apiece. Her kiss would have been on my list, if you know what I mean.
Well, if I hadn't been like 3 years old when this pic was taken, that is.
