Digg ThisWith this post, I’ve reached a milestone (of sorts): Post #100. Actually, it’s more like #120, because I lost a number of posts in the Great Collision of 2005. Those posts are lost forever, so this post receives the dubious honor of being Post #100.
So what to write for #100? I wanted to post something deep, something meaningful, something that each and every reader would get something wholesome they could walk (or surf, as the case may be) away with. So far, that piece just hasn’t shat its way out of my brain; it will, eventually. Mental constipation has never been one of my frailties, to be sure.
Therefore, in an effort to keep you updated with all the little oddities and absurdities I run across while surfing this wide platform we call the Internet, here’s another Linkmania and get you caught up with the essential knowledge every Greater Clevelander absolutely, positively needs:
A Larger Audience:
First off, I’m going to start writing for Blogcritics. Soon. My first post will probably be a repost of an older article, as I have to get something posted there within the next couple of days. I’ll add an Editor’s Note to explain the relevant circumstances around the piece so that folks know why and how the piece rolled off my fingers…
Teach Me Something Good:
A little while ago, some folks sued the state of Kansas to force them to teach F-ing Stupid Intelligent Design in Kansas public schools. This hilarious bit from Cory Doctorow at BoingBoing has gone mainstream at Wikipedia. UPDATE: Now there’s a challenge to disprove the theory. I’m ROTFLMBFFAO.
Fill’er Up With High-Test, Will Ya’?
I say this every time I fill my gas tank these days…
Fill’er Up With High-Test, Will Ya’? (Reprise)
Speaking of gas, I’m not surprised to see this. I got a lot more of that you can have for free, bud…
From the Department of Webster:
Ever hear something and you’re not quite sure what it means? Street slang? Ever wish there was a site out there you could look up this stuff? Well, here it is. Word up: some of this is TMI.
From the Lost & Found Department:
How in the hell can you lose a waterfall?
Lost Weiner:
With so many people carrying cell phone cameras these days, this was bound to happen sooner or later. I’m sure it’ll happen again — and more frequently as time goes by. I wonder if they caught the asshat yet…
From the Knocked-Over-Stupid-in-Awe Department;
From Space.com, vote on your favorite images…
From the “They Sure Don’t Make Things Like They Used To” Department:
I found this through BoingBoing, and I saw the link from Fark in the post, but I would have found this anyway, since I read Fark frequently. From an Australian news site. I wish I had that kind of staying power!
From the Political Scurry Department:
Another actor as president? Why not? The last one was one of the best we ever had (and I’m not even a Republican!)…
Let’s Learn to Write All Over Again, Shall We?
This is a great piece on the alphabet, something I bet you hadn’t though about. Good stuff…
And, lastly,
Is That Roquefort or Maytag Blue?
Lastly, folks have been hacking away at Google Maps again, but this time with an extraterrestrial bent. Make sure you zoom in all the way in on this to get a good look; my suspicions have been confirmed.
Until next time…
