Avalanche Company: The 213 Things Skippy is No Longer Allowed to Do in the U.S. Army Somewhere, I hope Spc Skippy is happy and loved and getting plenty of magic beans… (note, this link works, the one from Accordion Guy didn’t for some reason). Another link to checkout later: MemeStreams.

Later today we’re getting together with Steve to see “Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind” with Steve… and boy, this website is truly bizarre, because it looks and sounds so “normal.” What else can you expect, with the same writer as “Being John Malkovich?”

Today’s Get Fuzzy laid me out helpless on the floor… just go there and look at it and tell me that Bucky’s ear jammed up against the phone isn’t the funniest thing you’ve seen all day. And for the record, “Tricky Woo” was the name of Mrs. Pumphrey’s overfed, overindulged Peke in the “All Creatures Great And Small” books. Darby Conley’s playing homage to a different kind of funny animal story with the name. And she was a he, for the record. The other thing he was well known for, besides being horribly fat and out of condition, was for…

Well, half of one. We started cleaning out the basement (AKA “The Black Hole o’ Computers), which was getting to look too much like the “before” segment on shows like “Clean Sweep” or “The Life Laundry“. And it’s a lot better, because before it was an utter tip, and now it just looks like… something less than an utter tip. But it’s better. We’ve thrown out (or are donating or selling) a lot of stuff we haven’t used in years. I’ll even be tossing out a big box full of home-made videos of favorite shows of the past… representing years…

Yahoo! News – Church Jury Acquits Gay Methodist Pastor Put me in the “rejoicing” camp.

Yahoo! News – Dems see a rising star in Illinois Senate candidate Barack Obama has got all kinds of people talking. My mom-in-law really likes him – she’s always really well informed about local politics so her opinion carries a lot of weight (and not just because she looks really cute wearing her “Anybody but Bush” pin at parties). The weird thing is – I saw Obama, very briefly, on TV a few days before the primary, and thought “Whoa. Presidential.” At least his credentials seem to back up the incredible image and charisma he seems to project – which…

Apparently, we “super-size” it Amerkins were too enthusiastic about bellying up to the bar for another bucket of lobster: Yahoo! News – Red Lobster to Trim All-You-Can-Eat Deals. David and Steve will be somewhat disappointed about this – we did our bit to cut into the Crimson Crustacean’s profit margin on a number of memorable occasions.

Josh, of father and son team “Weezer and Geezer” (Amazing Race 4) reports hopeful news: the next installment may air on CBS soon after Survivor All Stars ends. Woop! Woop! Woop! Woop! Woop! Batten down the hatches! Buy many blank tapes! Forget doing anything that night other than parking on the sofa and hollering “Nooooo! Not that way, doofi!” at the TV (sorry, David, the madness begins again soon). By the way, Josh’s site with his dad is fun to visit now and then, since it’s a dual entry blog. Chris n’ Amander’s (or Amander n’ Chris’) site is even…

Air America Radio’s website launch is supposedly this week. The schedule and roster have been posted, but there’s not much else at this site yet (and indeed, they still need a better domain). It’s a very weird thing, but I’ve had over a hundred hits on variations on Al Franken’s name this month, up from a big whoppin’ 6 last month. On the other hand, I’ve had 18 hits on what can only be described as fanfic from the fevered mind of Julia Child, if she were a hobbit: “orlando bloom and alton brown.” Whoever it is, they’re probably looking…
