Introducing a new feature - a stupid poll to replace the stupid ad on the homepage that no-one was clicking in the first place. On the right hand side.

Enjoy.

"It's like having a bum living in your house."

Housebreaking continues at the Aquaman Estate...

File this under ideas I wish I had. A strip club in Tampa Bay (which has a few) set up a Mobile Strip Club in a mobile home in the parking lot outside of Raymond James Stadium.

But last Sunday during the Bucs-Bears game, cops arrested 11 of those involved. "Bringing it to a family environment such as a Bucs game totally surprises me," Tampa police Officer Bill Todd said.

Ha! I've never thought of a pro football game as an especially "family environment."

For $20, patrons could enter the club-on-wheels, which was fitted with a disco ball and a stripper pole and equipped with booze and strippers.

As Super Fun Power Hour so eloquently puts it:

The real crime here is that topless lap dances were $20 and totally nude were $40. Talk about paying a premium for the convenience of having the strip club come to you. I wonder how watered down the drinks were.

Our friends at Double Viking have introduced a new section for those interested in all things violence-related. According to the site, Attack Mode is a section that deals specifically with weapons, murder, death, kill and ninja’s. You will get your full range of weaponry from something as simple as a toothpick to firing a Gatling Gun..

We at YesBut have done our fair share of reporting on violent subjects, I admit, ninja swords have never been that top-of-mind for me, but we wish them the best of luck.

This would make a cool gift for someone that likes to build stuff - a roll of 35mm film, a bunch of Lego bricks, and a design for building a working 35mm camera in Lego.

"He's a human killing machine. Taught to stalk. Trained to kill. Programmed to destroy. He's played by their rules... Until now." Dolf Lundgren? No, Jack Abramoff. As if the Abramoff scandal was'nt difficult and crazy to follow already, check out what he was doing in 1989.

A Russian KGB agent is sent to Africa to kill an anti-Communist black revolutionary. However, he has a change of heart when he sees how the Russians and their Cuban allies are killing and repressing the locals, so he switches sides and helps the rebels.

I must be a sap, because I get a kick out of TV-to-internet crossovers. Like when a URL mentioned in a sit-com is an actual site. Like all that Lost stuff you guys are always posting about, only on a massively dumbed-down scale. Years ago, Lisa Simpson went to whatbadgerseat.com and saw the same site we can still see today. Arrested Development once cut to a shot of imoscar.com, Oscar Bluth's "I was framed!" website he was running from prison.

On How I Met Your Mother, an underrated show you should be watching, Barney (Doogie Howser) has mentioned his blog ("This is so going in my blog"). Barneysblog.com links directly to the HIMYMother/CBS site. The goal, I guess, is to draw people in, then have them go see what's new with According to Jim.

And for any Office fans who missed it, yesterday we mentioned the Dunder Mifflin page and Dwight's Blog.

My search for examples was anything but exhaustive. Anyone know of anything else in this category?

Commuting Suicide
Killing myself slowly, day after day
Volume VII: "Don't Engage"

Under any circumstances, initiating a conversation on the bus is a terrible idea. Even if it starts strong and interesting, nobody can keep that up at 7:30am in commuter traffic. The conversation will turn stale and awkward, as will every future greeting with your new commuter friend. You might have to move.

Despite my strong views on the subject, I gaffed this morning. After taking my seat, I reached into my pocket and pulled out a dog biscuit. Odd. Had our roles been reversed, my biscuit-bringing seatmate would have surely been the subject of the next Commuting Suicide. On the off chance this fellow is also writing a semi-regular feature on his rush-hour adventures, I slipped into damage control.

Me: That's weird. [Jokingly offering the treat to my fellow passenger] Snack?

Him: No.

Me: [Even if he doesn't write a semi-regular feature on his rush-hour adventures, I'm now sure he'll be starting one today.] Kidding, of course. We just got a dog.

The FCC is deciding whether or not consumers will be able to purchase cable television by the channel. Yesterday, Chairman Kevin Martin said that individual sales of channels could be economically feasible and in consumers' best interests. Link.

So, you have to decide to pay for every channel you watch...changes things, doesn't it. What are the odds of these networks staying around if this passes?
