…then this is the article for you. Quote from the article’s lead:
Nobody gives a shit what anti-war or pro-war writers think. Really. So shut up. That goes double for poets. Shut the hell up, poets. Everybody just shut up.

Invisible Movie Characters
An interesting site. They photoshop the characters of movies to make them invisible (leaving their clothes on), and you have to guess what movie it is. And they are REALLY tough, but once you see the answers, you’ll say to yourself “Why didn’t I know that?”
The Truth about Traffic Lights
From b3ta: Ever wondered what would happen if the little men in the traffic-light pedestrian signals were real? Wonder no more.
Really long domains
And I thought my buddy’s RobertSmith4CentralOregonHomes.com was a long domain, but these are just ugly:
http://www.cheap-flights-cheap-flights-easyjetthewebsfavouriteairline.co.uk
http://www.flights-to-europe-no-frills-airlines-cheap-flights-easyjet.co.uk
Thanks, but I think I’ll use Google to find my information (another from NTK).

Killer Mustard
Gotta love BBC typos (from NTK). That’s a lot of mustard.
Strippers and beer are a good thing
From Ruminate.com:
While more strippers and more beer are undoubtedly a good thing, I’ve found it’s much easier to convince your boss that you deserve a raise if you just leave that part out.
Dave Barry does Slashdot
Dave Barry has to be the funniest person in America. His blog is always funny. Recently he did an interview with Slashdot that was priceless. Excerpt:
The best thing about winning the Pulitzer is, about once every ten years you can say (or write) to some jerk who is attacking you in a nasty manner: “Oh yeah? Well I won the Pulitzer.” Actually, come to think of it, you can say this even if you DIDN’T win the Pulitzer. Nobody ever checks.
MovableJive Text Formatting
One of the neat new features of MovableType 2.6 is the ability for plug-in authors to write text formatting plug-ins. Ken at Breaking Windows told me about Textile, which I could see as being incredibly useful. However, I’m having a ball playing with MovableJive, which will translate your entries in to a whole pile of fun translations (like Swedish Chef, Cockney, Texas Drawl, etc…). See the “more” link below for translations of my Ruminations post in all the various languages.
Ruminations
From Ruminate.com:
My wife only likes to have sex in places if there is a risk of getting caught. Well, I *have* caught her — numerous times, in fact.
There’s this girl where I live — every day I tell her how I’d love to brush her long, beautiful hair, or go skipping through a field of lilies hand in hand with her, or share a bottle of wine on a hilltop overlooking a valley in Tuscany. And every day her answer is the same: “I’m not allowed to fraternize with the prisoners.”
Scientists say a dog’s mouth is cleaner than a human’s mouth. That may be true, but my wife almost never kisses me right after licking her own butt.
When I die, I’d like to be scattered over my hometown. But not, like, cremated or anything.
Sometimes I think I’ve totally wasted my life. That’s when I call my Mom, and she always reassures me: “You’re not a failure, boy. That’s just the crystal meth talking!” Mothers are great that way.
