Since about 400 people have sent me this link, I’d better post it here. It’s a promotional video and site for some movie, but video’s still relatively impressive (I know I would’ve respected cheerleaders a lot more if they could pull that off, never mind that the girl nearly cracked her skull open).

2004 Office Attachment Awards
According to Yahoo! UK these were the top 10 video clips that were passed around the office in 2004. There are several entertaining ones there that I hadn’t seen. Thanks SEB for the link.
Black People Love Us
Racial harmony has finally been achieved. Or something like that.
Santa’s Helpers Busted For Drugs
How this for taking advantage of the holiday spirit?
The packages were labeled as toys for good girls and boys and the business was called Santa’s Helpers. But authorities say the packages were nothing more than a naughty ruse to cover a large-scale drug smuggling operation.
The bogus business tried to smuggle $7.8 million worth of cocaine from Los Angeles to nearby Willoughby, Ohio authorities said. Drug agents seized about 175 pounds of cocaine Monday in the largest seizure in Cleveland this year.
Why I Hate Personal Weblogs
This is a frickin’ hilarious (if a bit dated) essay on one man’s vendetta against personal Webloggers.
Compliments to Good Parkers
This is a great anti-prank:
I was telling Jenna about this “prank” (via BoingBoing) some guy pulled in L.A. where he purposefully parked poorly to see what kind of notes people would leave him when Jenna said “That would be cool if you left notes for people who were good at parking their car.”
I fell in love with the idea when she mentioned it and couldn’t stop thinking about it for days. So we followed through with it today after we finished with our Christmas shopping in the Woodlands Mall area.
We decided that we would pre-write our notes, then walk through the parking lot looking for exceptional parking jobs to reward with the notes. Twenty notes seemed a worthwhile number, but we couldn’t come up with more than five semi-unique things to write, so we copied each four times. Here were the notes we left (links to images).
Sometimes, people need a little surprise affirmation in their day. Thanks Waxy for the link.
Wal-Mart Promoting Its Own Destruction
By selling a book entitled “How Walmart is Destroying America And The World: And What You Can Do About It.” Ironic? Indeed. Here’s the book on Amazon in case it disappears from WalMart’s site.
Update on 12/29: Appears that WalMart took it down, so I’ve mirrored it here.
“Happy Merry Christmas”
Apparently that’s on a sign by my cousin in Japan on a Baskin Robin’s Ice Cream shop. He claims he’ll have a picture to me tomorrow (which isn’t too far from now). I’ll update this post if he gets me one.
Just the same, I plan on being offline tomorrow (the 25th) as much as possible. Everybody have a safe and happy holiday, and you’ll hear from me on the 26th (as I have to head back to work, and will be forced to sit in front of this thing).
Subversive Cross Stitch
I might take up cross stitching just for this purpose.
