Scary Roll

No, the Scary Roll is not the latest creation by your local sushi chef. It's the newest edition to the art of Rick Rolling.

Laugh. Scream. Enjoy.

Al Jaffee's Fold-ins for Mad magazine

I've never really read much Mad magazine, but if you keep up with the wiles of the world you can definitely appreciate the fold-ins feature of artist Al Jaffee. The New York Times has an interactive feature of the fold-ins from past and present. Pretty neat, it's worthy of your click.

"Hello, North Bay, Ontario!"

Did you know the Bacon brothers are in a band called...The Bacon Brothers??



Um, yeah, neither did I. In fact, I didn't even know Kevin Bacon had a brother. Their albums include "White Knuckles," "Can't Complain," "Getting There," and of course, "The Bacon Brothers Live."



According to their fansite, baconbros.com, they're on tour all next week. If I could, would I go? Everything in my heart says no, but those blue eyes and a few scenes from She's Having a Baby make me want to say yes.

A Message from London

I plan to spend this spring getting braver on my bike when it comes to car traffic since I'm going to need those skills majorly in about 9 weeks. With that said, watch this video. It's only 1:00 and definitely worth your time for the sake of giggles and awareness:

Happy Easter

Stanley Ann Dunham Soetoro

The New York Times just put out a wonderful write-up on Barack Obama's mother, Stanley Ann Dunham Soetoro. If you've got the time, I highly recommend you read this article about this fascinating, compassionate, open-minded woman. Even if you're not an Obama supporter, it's worth your time. I wish more human beings, myself included, could have even an ounce of the fearlessness and understanding of the world that she exhibited her whole life.

If Celebs Were Okies

Now I admittedly suffer from Celebrity Blogoholism...I quit cold turkey and was clean from Oct 07-Jan 08 (thanks a lot, Heath Ledger.) After a brief (BRIEF!) relapse, I'm off the juice again and have been clean for 5 weeks. It's a disease, damnit!

However, since my self-induced Celebrity Blog rehab, I have never viewed pictures more enthralling than what I have posted below. I found these last night and they are so hilarious, they must be shared with the world.

Check out it out--if celebrities moved to Oklahoma:


Pamela Anderson


Sarah Jessica Parker


David and Posh Beckham


Ashlee Simpson


J. Lo and Marc Anthony


Tom Cruise


Jennifer Aniston


Johnny Depp

My guess is that the Tom Cruise one isn't photoshopped. These were my favorite...there's a few more here at Wintrest.com (who actually got these from PlanetHiltron.com)

Just a Thought. Just, You Know, Throwing It Out There...

What if John McCain were to run with Condoleezza Rice as his VP??

This thought hadn't occurred to me before. She might be what is needed to attract die-hard Republicans to McCain, plus she can make history like the Democratic party is going to try to do. Should McCain, 71, be elected to office and he croaks, Condi would then become the first black and first female President of the United States.

Boy howdy, that would just kill Hillary to witness that.
