I Less Than Three John Cusack.

So it wasn't an April Fools prank, or an exaggeration. John Cusack, my lifelong man-crush, is currently a guest blogger on Boing Boing. His first article, "The Beat Of The Future", narrates his experience witnessing the "Up With People" halftime show at Superbowl XX while on shrooms. This is definitely starting out on the right foot; looking forward to more from him. *swoon*

Beautiful.

This. Is. A. Real. Unedited. Advertisement. For. A. Real. Product.

It's called the Rejuvenique RJV10KIT Facial Toning Mask Kit. But it looks like something you'd buy in a Philip K. Dick novel.

Now you know what to get me for Christmas. If you really, really like me, you'll include an Alex Chiu immortality ring. And a Razor Gator.

"Botox seems pretty tame compared to facial self-tazing", to quote Antinous from Boing Boing.

Bacon Synchronicity

I assume you are already familiar with the Bacon Flowchart...



I originally saw this image on Boing Boing, and thought it was hilarious. I posted it as a Myspace bulletin. Within 6 hours, I got this strange "WTF?" letter from some guy I didn't know asking where I got it. Apparently, one of my Myspace friends reposted the bulletin, and someone else reposted it as well, leaving the chain intact, until through some sort of synchronicity more reminiscent of the Kevin species of Bacon, The bulletin was read by the original creator of the image! He wrote me, thinking I might have been attempting to take credit. I quickly assured him that was not true. Turns out the guy was from Austin as well, and when I related that I had found the image on Boing Boing, he was bewildered that the image he created days before in Austin for a laugh was already posted on a Canadian website.

I'm not gonna mention the guys name out of privacy, but when I clicked on his profile, he has plenty of pictures of his dog Dante, who I've heard is wise and loves bacon.

This post I consider in high form of minutiae worship, as it was inspired not from an article, but from the comment thread of an article.
