So, Timmy. Do you like movies about… bloviators?

  1. The Condoleeza Hairdo Alert System has been activated. Please make a note of it.
  2. You may not have to constrict your anus 100 times in a row. Try improving your brain function with a cellphone ringtone! Ah, the Mysterious East.
  3. North Korean dictator/space alien Kim Kong Il remembers all the nation’s phone numbers, according to his press agency. Then again, there’s maybe 8 phones in the country. It could be a trick question.
  4. Here’s a weekly collection of misleading blurbs that may explain why a huge steaming pile of dog poop gets some good reviews.
  5. Extra multilink bonanza roundup: The captive audiences media industry is growing like crazy. Asshole companies who trap you in elevators or at the gas station are doing great. The next frontier is TV covering the floor too: FLASMA!
  6. To cheer you up from all that, here’s an unusual cat.

You’re welcome.

  1. Judith Miller is having a well-deserved bad year. Turns out you don’t get the Heroic Journalist Award after all when the source you’re protecting is a government stooge trying to get revenge on a whistleblower. Oh, and thanks for the faked WMD reporting, Judy!
  2. AUUUGH! One of the towelhead terrorist guys can take on the appearance of a Westerner at will! Are we fighting fucking LEX LUTHOR here? Does anyone know BUFFY’s phone number? Thank you ASSOCIATED PRESS for this IMPORTANT UPDATE!! YOW!!
  3. The Global Guerillas blog covers terrorism and guerilla warfare and looks very interesting at first read.
  4. Ell jay user tinymammoth has some cool science news updates today!
  5. Starbucks is in fact everywhere. (Flickr)
  6. The Mozilla people are starting a for-profit company. Somewhere jwz is laughing until he pukes.

It’s St. Dogboner’s Day and Time for Links!

  1. BOOM! There goes the neighborhood. There’s a customized nuke map of a 100 kt blast at my house. Sorry about the neighborhood. Make your own, today!
  2. Here’s a great idea. Let’s give the TSA rentacops “temporary and reversible” death ray stun zap magic wands!
  3. Reason #2942 not to do speed: Meth Mouth. Tweaker teeth are ugly.
  4. I am overjoyed to see that Walker rides again! And now we see what has happened to Janine Turner’s career.
  5. Did they have a tornado in England and I missed it? (Flickr)
  6. One reason there’s so much ATM card fraud is that lots of banks don’t use half the security info on the cards. Thanks, guys!

Links for links’ sake

  1. Our new ambassador from Saudi Arabia is their chief spook and spymaster, and it seems clear he knows everything about September 11.
  2. Oops! The West Coast is, like, dying. Dead birds, dead fish, dead Godzillas everywhere.
  3. They say it won’t be built, but I wonder. The very, very rich have their ultimate excessive vehicle, the 19-foot-long, 7-foot-wide, 7000 lb, 217 mph two-seater Batmobile for Assholes: the Maybach Exelero.

Pic of the monster behind the cut. Jesus Christ.
batmobile for dicks

I link, I link, I link.

  1. How’d they pull that off? The Atkins diet people have filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy. Oh, probably because they bet $300 million on a diet trend lasting forever.
  2. Acupuncture can reduce tension headaches by half according to a recent study.
  3. These people claim that they can “fingerprint” the unique identity of a document, package, or credit card.
  4. An Iraqi town has named a U.S soldier as a sheik, or village elder.
  5. The Gitmo trials are so thoroughly rigged that military prosecutors have resigned in protest. Have you ever seen what military “justice” is like? Hint: everyone is guilty. What could possibly squick these guys? Were actual kangaroos involved?

Three depressing links about the war.

  1. Here’s a first-hand account of what it’s like to be arrested and jailed by the secret police in Iraq right now. If you’re lucky, that is.
  2. We’re scouring our poor island colonies for recruits. Young people in places like Guam have no jobs and no future in our WWII leftover archipelago, so we’re sending them to the next colony. It’s the new Gurkhas.
  3. Counterpunch is a marginal news source (I don’t trust Cockburn so much). However, if we really did lose nuclear warheads off Somalia in 1991 and someone got hold of it, we’re about to star in a really bad James Bond movie. We’ve certainly lost nukes before, including a spectacular incident off Spain a long time ago.

I’m going to go outside and pet puppies now.

Chock full o’links

  1. They managed to spend almost $50K on a Mini, and ruined it thoroughly. For reference, the base Mini is about $20K, and I specced out my dream loaded super fast one with all my desires for $30K. Someone let a 12 year old build this thing after 3 liters of Mountain Dew.
  2. A modest proposal from zarriq Michael Bay should should remake the MST3K movies, since he’s already ripped off one of them.
  3. If you’re a bird, stay away from the ballpark, and particularly from the strike zone when Randy Johnson is pitching (MPEG video; warning, animal injury occurs).
  4. Ladies and gentlemen, meet the number one impresario of celebrity porn (LA Times, bugmenot if unregistered). Jesus Christ, he looks like a fired club bouncer. What a thug. I’d love to be a fly on the wall while he was doing business in the office.
  5. Meet the guy who heaved a grenade at Dubbya; Gavrilo Princip rides again.

Scratch and sniff WHAT?

Pay me out for my Nazi iconography, bitches!

The problem with productivity nowadays.

You can find out where the cellphone towers are near you and map them on a Google map.

There’s a documentary out about the Minutemen. They made life liveable for me in the first half of the 1980s, and miss them terribly. There’s a trailer on the site that catches a little of what turned me upside down at age 17.

Pure unvarnished linkery without shame

You can hear an underwater recording of the big Indonesian earthquake; amazing.

The Japanese, kings of weird news, have got their banks doing things people probably should not be tempted into doing.

The Plantronics telephone headset people are giving away a trip to space. Really.
