Plug and Play

bigintro.jpg

Man, I came up with so many alternate headlines for this, it was hard to choose the right one (all included boxes, joysticks, hard drives, foreplay, etc). Which is silly, because this picture says it all really. Could this be the ultimate accesory for teenagers in love? The full details can be found over on slashdong.

Gentlemen, start your engines

Funnily enough the same thing as this once happened to Clickety Clack, or so he told me. True story.

MARCH MADNESS

toys.jpg

That’Äôs right, you’Äôve made Yesbut your daily stop for humor, news, entertainment and other amazingly important information, all covered from a biased and opinionated point of view. And now’ĶPRIZES!

Announcing the 1st annual Yesbutnobutyes.com March Madness Sweepstakes!

Starting March 1st, and running for the entire month, every weekday we will give away not one, but two vintage McDonaldland Happy Meal toys, taken from the Jellio personal collection of useless and slightly questionable memorabilia. How do I win, you ask? Here’Äôs how’Ķ

Every day, I will pick a number between 1 and 100, write the number on a post-it, and hide it in a secret place. All you need to do is e-mail your guess to the daily contest article, and the first person to guess correctly wins!

The rules:
- One entry per person per day
- Yesbut writers are not eligible
- Entrants must send in their guess with an e-mail address to contact the winner
- If there is more than one correct guess, first correct guess will win
- Winners will be posted on the following day
- If there is no correct guess on any day, the prize gets rolled over to the next day, for double the excitement!
- If no one enters after the first couple days, I’Äôll lose interest, and the sweepstakes will be terminated
- YesBut March Madness is in no way affiliated with McDonald’Äôs’Ķbut those McGriddles sure are tasty.
- Why does a grown man own a gym locker basket full of Happy Meal Toys? Shut up.

YESBUT MARCH MADNESS’ĶProving beyond a shadow of a doubt at least one of us is really bored

Coming in April, the ’ÄúPull My Finger’Äù Olympics

How Bloggers are like Rappers

From Slate.com:

For starters, both groups share a love of loose-fitting, pajama-style apparel. Still not satisfied? Bloggers and rappers are equally obsessed with social networking. Every rapper rolls with his entourage; every blogger rolls with his blog roll. Women can't win an audience in either profession without raunching it up like Lil' Kim or Wonkette.

Slate has also started a new feature called "Today's Blogs", though right now for them (and most of the world) blogs means political blogs, like that of Andrew Sullivan, pictured above.

James Jean


Just felt like talking about my current favorite illustrator, James Jean.
He does a lot of comic book cover work as well as magazine illustrations and some CD covers. His sense of color is amazing and I love the realistic yet fantastic characters he draws. They're so delicate looking.

Check out his website and marvel at his work: http://www.jamesjean.com/

We need an agent

The YesButNoButYes Family would have been perfectly cast as editors for this MSN Search viral site.

Mind-numbing crap like this wouldn't have made the cut had we been involved: "Name: Cy. Occupation: Officially, I'm an overnight security guard. Unofficially, I'm the guy who finds out what THEY don't want you to."

Jellio - Get a law degree and start representing.

Porsche Cayman S

Porsche has just announced a new model, the Cayman S. It will be positioned between the Boxster S and the Carrera 911.

I haven't seen it yet, but the link above takes you to a video that I would describe as a grand vacuous gesture.

Let's Jam

One-day auction on a cell phone jammer.

Sure, they're illegal. You could be fined big. But wouldn't it be worth it to see a restaurant full of people gasping for service? "Hello? Are you there? What happened? Helllllooooooooo??"
