#1 SUMMER JAM
FHQWHGADS! Everybody to the limit! This is the latest genius from the brothers Chap. They run the ever-increasingly popular Homestarrunner.com site. Their work can also be seen in the Mellow Mushroom site, an Atlanta area pizza joint. These guys went to high school with a few of my friends, and yes, they are just as hilarious in person.

STORIES OF A VIDEO P0RN CLERK
eeeeyuck. after you get past the stickiness & goo, there are some interesting parts. "Mr. Creepy is the one that makes me meditate on the nature of dirtbagness the most. He is always, always, always scamming. Bogus damage reports, punch card scams, claiming he got the wrong videos, and of course moving pricing stickers around. The first three bother me the most because they take advantage of our good nature. I hate it when people chip away at our likelihood to cut a good person a break. Especially when they’re just trying to save up for the next entry in the Stop! My Ass is on Fire! series."
TELEVISION FOR CATS
i glimpsed this story as i was flipping thru the channels the other day but figured it was a SNL skit or something. Holy crap. Thursday, July 18, 2002
You can buy me the complete Danger Island VHS and I will let you watch it with me and we will laugh and laugh and laugh and laugh.
THE BEST OF THE WORST COMIC BOOK ADVERTISING
Just hilarious. It's been awhile since I posted anything that was hilarious. Hilarious seems to be my adjective of choice whenever I find anything funny to post. So here is the hilarity. Judy and Jim Defy Savage Gorilla Captain Tootsie and the Radar Rescue Adventures of Sam Spade: "Death on the Speedway" 
"WE TRUST YOU"
SHHHH: TOP SECRET
John M. Poindexter was appointed Director of the Pentagon's Information Awareness Office in February."Who's John Poindexter? A retired Navy Admiral, John Poindexter lost his job as National Security Adviser under Ronald Reagan, and was convicted of conspiracy, lying to Congress, defrauding the government, and destroying evidence in the Iran Contra scandal." YIPPPPEEE! Tuesday, July 16, 2002
POPUP ADS COMING SOON TO A TV NEAR YOU
ad execs, getting increasingly frustrated that no one watches their 3 minute breaks in the middle of TV shows/movies, are considering adding popup ads to superimpose over the screen DURING the show/movie. Wretched, evil, greedy.... when is Mozilla going to be available for TV? Friday, July 12, 2002
FOR THOSE OF US WHO REMEMBER THE "JUST SAY NO" PROPAGANDA
"In 1983, there was only one problem plaguing grade schoolers more than ninja attacks: the seductive horrors of drug and alcohol abuse." A review of the video Straight Up. It's funny. Choice tidbits: "These little bastards are one latino hermaphrodite in a wheelchair away from you checking all the items off your multicultural scavenger hunt list." "Chad awkwardly greets them, saying "What, are you guys doing drugs?", and they start making fun of him because he doesn't want any beer. Then they, like every group of drug users will do, try desperately to give their drugs away for free. You might remember that these naggy junkies were a common theme in all anti-drug education of the time. It would have saved a lot of film if someone told educators that teaching children how to avoid getting expensive drugs for free is like teaching children how to escape from unicorns with a bag of magical shrieking peanuts. I can't remember ever saying, "Fine, mister, I'll have some of your free heroin if you just get off my back." Thursday, July 11, 2002
SIGH: ISN'T GORE OUR ELECTED PRESIDENT?
Quotes from our quasi leader's July 8th Press Conference. "QUESTION: Yes, Mr. President, the NAACP is meeting this week in Houston, as you probably know. And there's been some criticism that you've not attended their convention since the 2000 campaign. How would you respond to that and respond generally to suggestions from some critics that your civil rights record in the administration is not a stellar one? BUSH: Let's see. There I was sitting around the leader--the table with foreign leaders looking at Colin Powell and Condi Rice. Yes?" (next question) 
We think he stinks too, Mr. Powell.
HAPPINESS IS...
finishing 2 great books in one week: John Henry Days & the Galton Case then picking up 2 great books at the library: the Nanny Diaries & Fargo Rock City shhh. don't bother me, i'm reading. Wednesday, July 10, 2002
REASON #29 I LOVE SAN FRANCISCO
"In 1996, the Board of Supes passed an ordinance requiring all of our municipal properties to implement an aggressive integrated pest-management (IPM) program. IPM is a multifaceted strategy that aims to reduce herbicide and pesticide use by first turning to biological, cultural and mechanical techniques to control environmental problems."

MICROIMAGES
tiny tiny images crazy engineers snuck onto microchips, blown up for your viewing pleasure: Stay Puft Marshmallow Man on a 1988 Weitek math coprocessor chip. 300 microns high. That's small. Where's Waldo? on a microprocessor integrated circuit, of course. Can Of Worms. Never knew circuit boards could be so cool. Mr. T. Mr. Freaking T. Ubiquitous. Moby Dick, or the Whale. There's also microsnapshots of molecules of beer. Each brand tastes different for a reason. 
HAPPY VEGETARIAN WEEK!
July 8 thru July 14, join us regular veggiphiles in the chewing of no meat! Need convincing? Here's a lovely article about chicken nuggets. Suggested reading: My Year of Meats by Ruth L. Ozeki. It's not really anti-meat, but it's a fabulous book anyway.
JEEVES, THAT KNOW-NOTHING BUTLER OF THE WEB
Satirewire has a great interview with Jeeves, of AskJeeves fame. It is hilarious. Read it. 
and an old favorite, Philip Morris changes name to Altria, Lung Cancer changes name to Philip Morris. Tuesday, July 02, 2002
I HAD DINNER WITH THIS MAN. IT WAS NOT AS ENTERTAINING AS IT SOUNDS
Seth Warshavsky. P0rn king extraordinaire. Non-payer of bills. The dinner was NOT his treat. For reasons now known.
YES, AMERICA WEST IS STILL THE WORST
