So, you’ve gotten tired of playing Halo…
You’ve watched all the Warthog Tossing videos…
Try this to pass the time, a flash warthog launching game.
BOOM… WHEEE!

Thank the maker there are people like MC who are willing to take a bullet for the rest of us. MC provided an excellent review of the new 7-eleven (an American convenience store) cheeseburger hot dog. Read for yourself: http://www.michaelconnolly.com/?EntryID=92
MC, you are a braver man than I…
but mmm… it sounds tasty!
From the horses mouth:
Cheeseburger Big Bite™ Hot Dog
Easy to eat perfection! It looks like a hot dog, but it tastes like a cheeseburger! Fresh from the 7-Eleven grill, beef and cheese combine to create the easy-to-eat one-third-pound Cheeseburger Big Bite Hot Dog. Add your favorite condiments or toppings! Yummy!
Update: corrected URL
Here’s a neat mapping exercise: someone has scraped Orkut for name and city data then mapped the results. Visit and you can put in a latitude and longitude, or a zip code to see all the Orkut users who’ve listed that as their home. Hmm, can I use this to find how may Orkut members are in prison?

Been a little overwhelmed at work but I’m digging out. Let me just say that mail order prescriptions is a really *^&!y idea. My life has been screwed up for three weeks because of those idiots.
How to blow off some steam? Penguin baseball.

Why three links? I dunno. You can hit the penguins farther with the last one though, so that must be worth something. DeEtte got 1200.2!

I see dead people
It’s morbid, but is it helpful? The Clark County Coroner in Nevada has started posting pictures of unidentified dead bodies on its web site. Sure, it’s creepy, but they have solved 3 times the number of cold cases this year.

Virus Alert!!!
If your virus software is not up to date, update it now. If you’re not running anti-virus software, buy some now. It’s like car insurance, it’s just part of the cost of being on the Internet.
This new attack is estimated to be the most virulent since Nimda in 2001. Full details of the current virus threat can be found here:

Guess who’s playing my birthday party?
Would I lose your respect if I told you they work for peanuts?
(How much respect do I loose (sic) for leaning too heavily on my spell checker? Hey Steve: ;p)

Would you like fries with that?
It’s amazing what becomes interesting if you’re important… I don’t think anyone would come to my web site to read a transcript of me trying to order ribs. President Bush ordering ribs, however, is amusing for some unknown reason.
Thanks Doug for brightening my day.

Badgers? We don’t need no stinkin’ badgers!
Ah…er…um… no words come to mind. Go to Badger Badger Badger to see for yourself.
(Thanks to Dennis, a plus number one fan of Engrish, for the link).
UPDATE!!!
Detroit rockers Electric Six have an entertaining, less-than-serious song called “Gay Bar”. The song takes on a whole new tilt, however, when lip synched by George Bush and Tony Blair (I’m pretty sure they didn’t mean to ;)). Check out the unofficial video at Camp Chaos.
Here’s how a description on Amazon (yeah, they fixed my account and are, once again, on my good side) describes Electric Six:
Electric Six is the most exciting band to come tumbling out of Detroit since Kiss. Sporting grimy leisure suits and hilarious stage names (the guitarists are known only as Surge Joebot and the Rock and Roll Indian), the ragtag group comes up with a deliriously catchy disco trash sound on its smart, hyperactive debut. Studio 54 horns mingle anxiously with AC/DC-influenced garage riffs, while frontman Dick Valentine rants maniacally over jerky, suggestive punk-funk songs like “Gay Bar” and “I’m the Bomb.” Plus, rumor suggests that single “Danger! High Voltage” features the White Stripes‘ Jack White on backing vocals and, less plausibly, Bill Clinton on saxophone. How cool is that? Very. –Aidin Vaziri
Incidentally, Electric Six also appears on the Charlie’s Angels soundtrack, a fabulously eclectic mix of music. I give it a ::thumbsup::.
