Inspired by Ernie Anastos and JW's post about this phrase entering our national lexicon, two YBNBY readers created this prospective fast food chain bucket.

Fast Food with Attitude.
Looks so delicious, it should be on a t-shirt!

Thanks to fellow Brooklynite Baarbarian and his buddy Shamus for sending this in.
Give them a click people.

Try explaining Synesthesia to someone and see if you can get it to make sense. I've tried on many occasions and failed miserably. I'm one of many "synesthetes" around the world who has a crossing of senses. For instance, when I see certain letters or numbers, I see them as colors. (H's are always purple, 1's are always yellow, etc...) Not only that, but hearing certain notes in music create colors as well. For instance, the 2nd movement of Beethoven's 7th symphony is a red-green with hints of yellow. The strange part of all this is I thought everyone perceived and, to a degree, categorized their thoughts this way.

The above film by Jonathan Fowler gives a hint at what it's like to have Synethesia and does the best job I've seen of explaining what exactly the condition is.

From The Johnny Wright Musical Idolatry Desk...

There is a White Stripes film coming soon called Under Great White Northern Lights. I'm very excited. The film documents the Stripes' 10 year celebration as a band and shows their last Canadian tour. That tour the band played in every province, and did "impromptu secret shows in local pool halls, bowling alleys, public parks, flour mills, fishing vessels, classrooms, grocery stores, transit buses, and elder meetings." Boring, the Stripes are not.

While the promoting the film, Jack couldn't help himself and took the opportunity for a little Kanye tomfoolery.



It's the shrug that makes it art.

Will Ferrell and friends explain how it is, and how you can help the real victims in the current health care debate.

(Thanks, Brother Bill!)

Art on a banana?

Yes, there is such a thing. And we've got a bunch as proof.
