Here comes another of those goofy folky rap song covers I love so much. This time it’sPublic Enemy’s Bring the Noise,as performed by Brent Runyon. I know nothing about Mr. Runyon other than that he’s written a book about his life, specifically the time heattempted suicide by lighting himself on fire.How he went from that …

Gay flamingos strike long-term relationship this one’s weird. Weird and interesting.
Meet My New Heroes
Whoever the men are who inventedthis,they’re super geniuses. According to the site, the Beer Belly as they’re calling it can hold up to 80 ounces of liquid, and looks and feels exactly like a real beer gut, other than all the hair and stretch marks I guess. The marketing pitch is pretty convincing too, since …
Maybe He Was Training To Be An Ontario Bus Driver
No green light for driver with traffic signal gadget I thought it was kind of interesting that a story like this one came along at around the same time as the wholebus thingI talked about earlier.
Fruit Is Like Oxygen
Ok, thanks to me and my stupid titles, I can’t get that old love Is Like Oxygen song out of my head now. I hope somebody knows which song I’m talking about so I won’t be alone. It’s one of those songs that once you hear it, or even think about it, it’s in your …

Ich Bin Ein Gummi Bear
For some reason Carin and I got talking about the Gummi Bears today and it made me think back to a few years ago and the time I randomly heard the German version of their theme song. I’d only ever heard it once and I’d always wanted to hear it again because well, to me …
How To Lose Friends And Influence People…To Want To Kick Your Ass
Philips creates anti-ad skipperI don’t have a TiVo or anything, but I still hate this idea. Hate hate hate it! It’s kind of like telling me that I can’t use my VCR (remember those?) to fast forward something. And I love the way they try to justify its creation by saying “don’t worry, we’re not …

Last Call For Last Call?
Here’s another story update for you. A few weeks ago I wrote about the Texas Alcoholic Beverage Commission’s brilliant plan to arrest people in bars because they’re drunk. Well, after almost 2000 arrests and seemingly a lot more public outcry, the program, which they ended up naming Operation Last Call, has been called off, hopefully …
