Hope everybody has a safe and happy Thanksgiving tomorrow. I’ll be at home, avoiding the zillions of tourists in the area and gorging myself on all the food, as well as trying to catch back up on some sleep I haven’t gotten in weeks. No, I don’t plan on going shopping at the crack of dawn on Friday, either, as I have better things to do with my time — like sleep. Have I mentioned I need sleep?
We Need More Politicians Like This Guy
This guy was running for a school board seat in his little North Carolina town back in 2006. He didn’t win, but his campaign commercial was hilarious:
I would’ve voted for him after seeing that.
The #1 Rule Of The Internet
If it exists, it’s probably somebody’s fetish. And with fetishes, there’s porn for that (safe for work, though it may make you a bit scared of the whackjobs out there that get off on this stuff).
Political Correctness Gone Overboard
Apparently the early seasons of Sesame Street were so risqué that producers of Sesame Street decided to label early season DVDs of the show as “adults only.”
I watched those early seasons, as PBS was the only channel we got where I lived when I was little, and I turned out fine. Now excuse me while I go smoke, drink, and snort cocaine, followed by my nightly beating of my kids and wife.
Worst Video Game Ever?
Yeah, probably…
Flickr Launches Places
I’m not a huge Flickr user, as I just haven’t had the time. But their new mapping functionality is pretty darn cool, and I’ve geotagged the few photos I’m uploaded there. Flickr is a fun toy that I really wish I had more time to play with, and their global map is yet another great time waster.
Fox News Fun
I’m not a huge fan of Fox News for a variety of reasons (really, I don’t like most cable news, but Fox News is by far the worst of the bunch by far). But to show even more why Fox News should just be ignored as a reliable source of unbiased journalism and seen instead as a propaganda machine for the right-wing:
- A site that checks Fox News regularly and notes any changes in the headlines.
- Fox News Porn. From BB: “Fox News Porn is a collection of raunchy outtakes from the Fox “News” Network, where hypocritical prigs like Bill O’Reilly revel in prurience while condemning it. This condemnation is largely indistinguishable from a celebration — as when Sean Hannity visits a brothel and asks snotty, explicit questions of the workers there while his camera lovingly pans across their bare flesh.”
How To Cut A Beer Bottle In Half Using A String
Because you never know when this will come in handy. Like if I ever wanted to make a really ugly toothbrush holder.

Just follow this easy, helpful, and NSFW instruction set. Thanks to Dave for that.
