On the Canadian Club website you can upload photos and make your own ads. But why upload your own photo when you can have so much more fun with someone else's?

I started watching Top Chef this week, and as always, they've found a few chefs with some very interesting personalities. A few thoughts...

- A simple rule...nothing says ratings boost like lesbians. Athough, in this case...

- I now know what molecular gastronomy is. I think we'll be seeing some wacky things from Richard this season.

- Andrew is the flake of season 4. He's our Stephen from season 1...our Marcel from season 2...our Howie from season 3. And this week's outburst about needing security to drag him out would've been the clip of the year.

- There are like 7 chefs from New York. Are there no decent restaurants in St. Louis or Phoenix, or Cleveland, or...

- Is Antonia supposed to be this season's hottie? Kind of a weak turnout.

- Finally, I'm bummed Eric and his soggy corn dogs got booted. He had a bit of that repressed serial killer vibe that I look for in my top chefs.

Today on Lunch Hour Veg: The Peter Serafinowicz Show. Catch it on BBC Two.

Remember when the Real World had real people on the show? Before all the Next Top Model rejects took over the show? Well, what do you think they're up to today? For instance, which of these four real worlders...

- played in a band with Keanu Reeves
- runs a granite business
- recorded a rap album
- was arrested for prostitution

Dança do Quadrado means Dance of the Square in English. It's a dance craze in Brazil, begun by Sharon Aciole (who I think records under just "Sharon") as a lighthearted beach dance. It's (uh-oh) the new Macarena. Read more about it in this post, machine-translated from the original Portuguese. Contains lyrics and a video of real beach bodies dancing with Sharon.

Flickr member Gisarah loves Starbucks. But she has an obsession with photographing the left-behind cups people leave all over the place - like this one that someone left inches from the trash.

Why settle for Vitaminwater? Go for the flavor you really crave with Meatwater! It comes in many flavors: Beef Jerky, Beef Stroganof, Cheese Burger, Chicken Teriyaki, Dirty Hot Dog, Fish'n Chips, Hungarian Gulash, Italian Sausage, Peking Duck, Tandoori Chicken, Texas BBQ, Wiener Schnitzel, and introducing the new Escargot flavor! Suspiciously, "bacon" is not on the list. From Till Krautkramer.

Recently, Neatorama posted a link to financial site, 24/7 Wall Street, which had listed the 25 Most Valuable Blogs, based on traffic and ad revenue.

Of course the biggies like Gawker, Huff Post and Boing Boing were there, at estimated values of 150M, 70M and 8M, respectively (whoa). But the biggest shocker to me was when I saw Neatorama was on the list at #19, valued at 1.5M (whoa, again).

Congrats to our friends at Neatorama! (And for those wondering where we landed on the list...we're in the low thousands, valued at a cool $47.50, right after mortonstoefetish.com, but ahead of The Daily Mollusk)

if we have another writer's strike, studios will simply create a new Jack, Kate, Sawyer...even Hurley. And we won't have any more So you think you can dance better than my mom while she interviews an apprentice to date the her little child star to deal with.

But first...they have to make this one a little less creepy.
