From the site "Superman is a Dick!":

List of more practical uses Superboy can make of a machine that can see through time:

1. Betting on the outcomes of sporting events.
2. Forseeing natural diasters and catastrophe.
3. Letting Bruce Wayne know that his parents are going to be gunned down in front of his very eyes in a filthy alley, you dick.

My favorite photoblog is on the scene for the unfurling of the Gates at Central Park. A great way for displaced NYers like myself to view the expensive and unnecessary installation up close.

I've heard Ricky Gervais compare BBC's The Office favorably to Dickens. No argument here.

But if the original was Dickens' Great Expectations, the Americanized NBC version is Jimmy Carter Elementary School's spring play. Check out the clips posted on NBC.com.

Coming in March!

We interupt this blog for a special announcement. Advertising appears to work. I just bought a can of Emerald Nuts.
Wait, this just in...yuck.

Remember...Enraged Newscasters choose Emerald Nuts.

Now, I'm guessing that when most of you look at this picture, you see cholesterol, impending heart attacks and a churning stomach.

Me? I see heaven on a plate.

Believe me, there's no better way to start the day than with a hot plate of eggs, chips, bacons and beans, washed down with a strong mug of tea. Thankfully, for all us expats who long for the taste of a good side of bacon rather than the watery farce that passes for a rasher in the US, there's now a site to make our mouth's water. Eggsbaconchipsandbeans is dedicated to the preservation of the great British establishment, the greasy cafe. Take that, Egon.

Please, please, please don't f%@k this up.

Thank God It's Friday. I personally had a hell of a week at work - crappy projects, unfathomable clients, annoying co-workers. Business as usual. And so, to actually make this endless purgatory of some value to the rest of you, I bring you two tips for success in the office workplace:

• Scaramouch's Tip #1 - master the use of clear communication via powerpoint
• Scaramouch's Tip #2 - always start a meeting with the right greeting

God bless the Brits - you gotta love 'em. i'm not sure exactly who the blonde is, but I'm guessing a minor celeb with a boyfriend called Richard.

On the other hand, maybe it's really as dirty as it seems. In which case, here's the perfect valentines gift for the young lady. And to think a patent officer once claimed that they should close down the patent office as everything had probably already been invented!
