I love spam...

So, I get a spam message in my work e-mail today, advertising Rolex prices, or something stupid like that. However, in the little preview that Outlook shows when you get a new message, it listed a bunch of text that I could not see. So, being the curious cat that I am, I did a 'Select All' on the e-mail. What I found was this:

"It's going to be very hot stuff. thai bonaventure featherbed asceticism fund lamentation inscrutable arbitrage nothing quanta wilbur plum cashmere acquire advocacy krypton durkee twilight shackle decibel biggs splotch unital cross castro alveolus acquiesce indenture cartilaginous pitilessly creamery pimple donahue ajar babbitt cuttlebone northampton burnside glacier viscometer blake grope brainard thanksgiving determinate frozen infestation turbulent cognate implant bustard adams miscegenation hillock keddah decatur consonantal stoic productivity indigestion quid weaponry closet consummate bell In the upper left corner of the ad was a photo of a house.

The rods had been strenuously taped, so that from the knees down he looked a bit like Im-Ho-Tep when he had been discovered in his tomb. In a space of fifteen minutes he had eaten half of Mount Beluga. It was a graduation photograph, of course. If you had kept your mouth shut, I would have sent him on his way. The pain wasn't tidal. The photo showed Annie, not in her uniform but in a white dress frothing with lace. Ho-ho, Paulie, you're a real riot, the typewriter said in the tough gunsel's voice he had made up for it. yank downhill calla joan candlelight officeholder bomb chip weir calla hellish hyperboloidal bela blue drug ladle imponderable magneto periphrastic vortices shoot

Wow. Fascinating, yet nonsensical. Brilliant, yet confusing. I love it.

It's funny 'cause it's true...

From here.

Ninjas are cool. And when I say cool, I mean totally awesome.

Dels says:
Yup. The silent type.
I could sneak up on your document, and then BAM.
Re-formatted correctly and so much nicer looking.

Hmmm, good point.

The good kind of heartattack...

Well, Angela and I just booked our flights and hotel for our trip to England and Germany in May. Exciting!! So, while I already miss the $1400 I just dropped, I'm a very happy camper.

This pleases me...

From the author of the brilliant Questionable Content, Jeph Jacques, I give you the irreverent, wacky, and frequently pee-your-pants funny web comic 'Indietits'. (Don't worry, it's about birds, not boobies. Wait, those are birds too? Shit this is confusing!!)

These two posts had me durn near on the floor laughing:

Figure skating's Ali G, and her evil smile
Don't eat me Ali G!!

Take that feel good Olympic lovers!! *Ptooey*

I will write it in a song, but never say it to your face...

Alright, I'm too fucking frustrated with my inability to put thoughts to paper, so instead I will just say this:

Go listen to the album 'Control' by Pedro the Lion. It will kick your ass, leave you weeping, beat up, and yet somehow wanting more.

That is all... I'm going to go kick some puppies and push some old people in front of cars. Gotta love the sound of elderly bone crunches...

The joys of video manipulation...

As a proud subscriber/evangelist for Salon.com, I'm always excited to share with others the goodness that they have to offer. As much as I enjoy their in-depth political analysis and willingness to tackle controversy, I have to say I enjoy their Arts & Entertainment features the best. While they have dwindled a bit of late (I think it's just the new layout that makes it seem that way...although I like the re-design for reading the articles, the organization is not that great for browsing in general), their 'Audiofile' and 'Video Dog' sections are great resources. True, they're just compiling info that's already out there, but they do a damn fine job of it.

I found these Video Dog features especially enjoyable:

Proof of Cheney's Evil (from Letterman)
Brownie's Balls (from The Daily Show)

Enjoy!
