I'm not sure what I feel about this - fair game for a movie, or crass exploitation? I have several friends who lost people they knew that day, but then, I guess the same could be said of Munich. The trailer certainly makes me feel uncomfortable.

Commuting Suicide
Killing myself slowly, day after day

Volume VIII: "A Commuter Conundrum"
Here's a question for all my fellow public transportation users. Your answer provides a real window into your personality.
You have two choices:
1. You could accidentally pour a cup of hot coffee on the person seated beside you.
2. You could have that person accidentally pour coffee on you.
Before you answer, think through each option. Your clothes might get ruined. His/her clothes might get ruined. One of you could be seriously burned. Immediately after spilling, you could get punched in the neck.
There's no right answer. Like the old "would you rather drown or burn to death?" conversation starter.
For my fare, I'd rather wear the coffee than spill it. Makes better fodder for a future installment of Commuting Suicide.

I think I just died a little.
Holy cow. Maybe Arkansas isn't so bad. Check the awesome photos below.

Check these vintage radio promos for all sorts of exploitation films. I might actually turn on the radio if it was still this cool.
Some examples?
*The Naughty Stewardesses
*Frenzy of Blood (double feature)
*Dr. Tarr’s Torture Dungeon
*Nurses For Sale
*Angel’s Wild Women

A few years ago, I stumbled across SportsPickle.com, an Onion-like fake news site. Not sure why I haven't mentioned it yet. Here are a few of my favorite headlines:
"Ali BobbleHead Doll Seen as Inappropriate"
"Middle School Boys Declare: Pujols Our Favorite MLB Star"
"Hackers put M.I.T. Atop BCS Standings"
"Cancer 77, Coaches 74" (in reference to the "Coaches vs. Cancer" college basketball games)
"Mickelson to Take up Horseshoes, Hand Grenades"
"Nike signs LeBron to $90 Million Deal, 8-Year-Old Indonesian Sweatshop Worker to $9 Deal"
"Bobby Bowden Robbed, Sodomized by Starting Tailback"

This may have already made the rounds, but it's so awesome I don't want you to miss it. Knitted graffiti. Sometimes enormous. How is this so stupid and so awesome at the same time?

- The Windows on the World workers opened their new place, Colors...let's all go.
- Daily Candy alerts everyone to the green way to get rid of that outdated '05 hardware.
- Although, I won't have time...go Tampa Bay, New England, NY and Cincinnati. (And welcome back, Marv.)
- But maybe I can squeeze this in between games. The Pixar exhibit at MOMA...should be a pretty cool show.
- King George and Madeleine Albright go toe-to-toe. Fight called after five minutes, though.
- I was playing NBA shootaround on Walmart.com, and it linked to another cool game...go figure.
- and it's good to have Mr. Stewart back, especially when Pat Roberton's speaking for God, again.
Peggy Noonan: ...the public expects the party that loves big government to be pretty good at finagling government, playing with it, using it for its own ends," as opposed to "the anti-big-government party" which "isn't supposed to be so good at it.
Newt: ...we run a much bigger risk in these kind of scandals than do the Democrats whose base is, frankly, much more tolerant of corruption.
Why do they make these really stupid blanket statements? I gotta believe they're both smarter than that. (I KNOW she is, at least.)
And on a separate topic, can we put a hold on the "anti-big-government" shit. This definitely WAS the norm for the Republican party, but these days...spying on Americans, deciding on whether or not someone has a right to die, school prayer initiatives, amendments to protect marriage, unheard of fcc fines to limit free speech...oh, and starting unnecessary wars. That's not big goverment, that's shoved half-way up your colon government. But when some big gov't WAS needed...well, just ask New Orleans what the report card was.
For the last few days, I've been on a quest. A voyage of discovery to find the answer to a mystery. It's taken me to the nether reaches of the web, and forced me to engage all my technical knowhow. It's a story of mystery and intrigue. And it ends with a plea, and an offer of help.
But most of all it's the story of individuality - of a lone crusader wandering the information superhighway spreading a message of freedom and anarchy. Every corner I turned and every answer I found led me deeper into the mystery, one which, at its heart, remains unsolved. For I have tried to answer the question that must be on webmasters' lips throughout the world... “Who the hell is Fecal McStool?”
If you MUST spend time learning about RSS feeds, H.264 video encoding and firewire cameras, it's best to do it from busty chicks in french maid outfits, I always find.
