The State of the Union Address Drinking Game 2005

I'm proud to say that I am connected to Marc & Howard, who came up with the genius that is The State of the Union Address Drinking Game a few years ago, through just one degree of separation. Once again, thank you, Veronique.

As I mentioned to her, four more years of this and those two guyus will either need rehab or a liver transplant (or both).

Wrong on so many levels

Evil Waste of Time #117

Demon Balls is a good name for this insidiously simple yet addictive game.

GROW

Dragging the objects in a specific order will get them all to grow to their maximum level.

I got 9 maxed on my first try, and scored 10200. How'd you do?

Mad Ape Den

I was introduced to Mad Ape Den by the folks who run Woot!.

Can you dig it? Try to use 3, no mas.

Unintentional innuendo

I see stuff where others don't.

This is from the University of Pennsylvania's Biomedical Graduate Studies department home page.



He's got this look that says, "You wouldn't believe how much beer I had to drink to fill this beaker up this much"

or

"You should have seen what color it was right after that all-night Kahlua binge last week"

or

"Random drug test my ass! I've been saving this sample of my grandmother's urine for just such an occasion."

And she's thinking, "Ha ha! I want a new advisor."

Political action

Veronique points to CNM: Campaign for a National Majority

It's certainly better than Jon Stewart's take on the Democratic party's motto from the other night (I'm paraphrasing), "A moment of resistance, a lifetime of capitulation."

Snuggliness in the UK is the companion site to Josh's blog about moving to and living in the UK.

Something Awful

Subtitled The Internet Makes You Stupid, this is a huge warehouse of silly and useless things. You've been warned.

They Fight Crime!

Refresh the page. Again. And again. And again...

I got this on my third try:

He's an otherworldly Jewish gangster searching for his wife's true killer. She's a cynical foul-mouthed Valkyrie with someone else's memories. They fight crime!

You should be so lucky.

Second Term

The Spiridellis Bros. at JibJab.com are back with a great new Flash animation and song in "honor" of the inauguration. As always, equal opportunity lampooning.

The Alternative Dictionaries

A young (I assume) Norwegian named Hans-Christian Holm has put together The Alternative Dictionaries, a compendium of slang, profanities, insults and vulgarisms from all over the world. There are a few errors in the Hebrew section (the only one I can speak to directly other than English), but he readily admits that it's a work in progress, and provides an opportunity for feedback. Nicely done. Thanks, Veronique.

Don't click on the song links on the left, no matter what you do. You have been warned.

These aren't your father's action figures

Unless your father is into this sort of thing...

Greatest. Tease. Ever.

10 worst album covers of all time

I thought I posted a link a while back to a collection of, um, interesting album cover art. This one doesn't mince words.

The site it's on, Pork Tornado, is good reading.

Engrish.com!

Don't remember if I've pointed to it before, but it's worth another visit anyway: Welcome to Engrish.com!

Jesse reminded me by pointing me to lowercase liberty.

Other blogs

Vice Squad is a, well, squad of folks who explore "public policy concerning alcohol, nicotine, other drugs, prostitution, gambling, pornography, ...."

I found Vice Squad through The Agitator, Radley Balko's blog. He calls himself a classical liberal, that is, a libertarian.

I haven't gone through every post in the archives, but what I saw made me think I could link to them.

Dying is...

Well, dying sucks. But it's a fact of life. Grace Chow is now dead, but her blog lives on. It won't take long to read - she only had about 10 days after she started keeping the blog. If nothing else, it's a good reminder of the fragility of our time here...

Sherlock Holmes on the Web: the Sherlockian.Net Holmepage

Everything the Web offers about Sherlock Holmes is here, Sherlockian.Net claims. Arnie and Hadar reminded me how much I liked the stories as a youth, so I thought I'd remind you all what excellent detective stories look and sound like.

And don't forget Poe's contributions to (if not invention of) the genre... Check out this Gutenberg entry.

More puzzles

Back from vacation.
The original Crimson Room and the Viridian Room, prequels to the Blue Chamber, are available here. MUWAHAHAHAHA!

Oh, yeah: "Thanks," Bryan.
