Great video mashup of Tron with the Depeche Mode song, "Suffer Well" by all around cool guy and fellow Floridian Justin Alt.

That time of year again. Dad and I head to Vegas to bond at the craps tables and pay the Venetian Hotel's electric bill. (Me and money have a casual relationship, at best.) Sunday, we park our butts at the sports book, tell each other what we're gonna bet, then do the exact opposite. (Some families play catch...)

Leaning toward Pittsbirgh, but that'll change a couple dozen times before Sunday. And what about the other stuff? You know...Is Holmgren gonna challenge a play before the half? Will Aretha Franklin have a wardrobe malfunction during the anthem? How many times will Madden mispronounce Roethlisberger? I've got some studying to do.

For a pretty long list of possible bets, click here. Or check out these tv bets. Then tell me what you'd bet, and I'll let dad know.

We've talked about knitting on this site before but I don't believe we've seen knitted art like this. Check out the beautifully disturbing work at Yumlum.com

Oscar nominations have been announced.

Carrot-bottom on Ebay.

Apparently the money's in the book deal...for PostSecret and Overheard in New York, anyway.

So who's the best bet?

- Commuting Suicide? My first choice, but probably needs a couple hundred more entries.
- Where Are They Now? If we spent about a hundred grand in fact checking, maybe.
- Caption Competition? The easiest one, that's for sure. Start gettin' clever people.
- Top Ten sex and violence lists? - Pitch the show to CineMax
- New Comics Day and Big Picture? - Movie AND Comic reviews...don't think it's been done.
- Ugly Animal Kingdom? - Pitch for an AnimalPlanet show, maybe.
- Notes from the Blogosphere - This could be the one. Like Overheard in NY, but for the entire planet.

Thoughts?

- Sleepless in Seattle re-cut as a horror flick. This is the best one since The Shining.
- Tom Cruise up for worst actor of the year. Someone's not making thetan level 2.
- And the Daily Show looks at accountability via Oprah and the press corps.
(The Lieberman impression is f'in priceless)

This is James Blake Miller. Im November 2004, his photo ran in hundreds of newspapers across America. Writers called him the Marlboro Man, and used his image as a symbol of our forces in Iraq.

Now, Mr. Miller is back home in Pike County, Kentucky. Apparently, a few things have been different about him since he returned. Recently, he was diagnosed with post-traumatic stress disorder. In 2005, 317,000 U.S. veterans were given the same diagnosis, 19,000 from the wars in Afganistan and Iraq. James Miller is 21.

I don't understand people who believe it's not possible to be against the war in Iraq and also support the troops. I heard the argument over and over again when people spoke out against Cindy Sheehan. I do understand why some politicians say it. Hopefully they won't be politicians for long.

Still two weeks away...plenty of time to find something they'll love. Then again, these things have a way of sneaking up.

5) For him...I've been a fan of J-Fold for a while. Maybe he will be too.
4) For her...You've given jewelry, and flowers are always a bodega away. Why not combine the two.
3) For him...Is he a hold-em fan? Some very cool shirts at Felted. Ladies and Chip Twirl are my favorites.
2) For her...If you've f'ed up recently, and she has a sense of humor, try this. Otherwise, stick to jewelry or flowers.
1) For either...You slowly strip as you paint your opponent with chocolate. This know where this is leading...White Castle.

How refreshing to find a singer who's not afraid to flash her boobs, pretend it's 1982, and create songs with the rhyming structure of Dr. Seuss!

Her website is just as silly, but beware, there's no way to turn off the song!
