Snorg Tees



I'm really not one to provide free advertising for a company. But Snorg Tees is just a lot of fun to spend time perusing. First, the tees are frakin' hilarious. Second, I giggle at the everyday models in their faux-Abercrombie-esque poses. With everything from nerd humor to references to TV shows and movies... there is something for everyone at Snorg Tees. And I, personally, end up spending a nice chunk of time perusing and guffawing whenever I stop by for a visit.

TED Talk: Cindy Gallop: Make love, not porn [NSFW]

Cindy Gallop: Make love, not porn is a TED talk by entrepreneur Cindy Gallop on the detrimental effects of hard core porn on heterosexual interpersonal relationships. In it, she launches her site, Make Love Not Porn, a site that redefines normal.

The commentary on the Ted talk includes a lot of annoyingly mis-informed and un-enlightened internet trolling, but don't let that detract from the experience: skip it altogether. Enjoy!

Caitlyn can rock a todo list.

Caitlyn can rock a todo list is an mp3 blog for busy people. She regularly posts zip files that are the equivalent of a mix CD, with short to-the-point impressions. Consider it your indie-music cocktail chatter cheat sheet.

One metafilter poster called it a music blog for busy people.

Enjoy!

Candidate for a Pullet Surprise!

Candidate for a Pullet Surprise is a poem written by Jerrold H. Zar, Professor Emeritus at Northern Illinois University. However, Dr. Zar has had quite a time keeping his name attached to this wonderful bit of poetry, especially in this digital age.

The poem will fit through any spell checker just fine without throwing up red flags, but then, that's the beauty of this little piece of genius. Enjoy it, don't forget to proofread, and remember: Jerrold. H. Zar.

Stanzas 1-3:

I have a spelling checker,
It came with my PC.
It plane lee marks four my revue
Miss steaks aye can knot sea.

Eye ran this poem threw it,
Your sure reel glad two no.
Its vary polished in it's weigh.
My checker tolled me sew.

A checker is a bless sing,
It freeze yew lodes of thyme.
It helps me right awl stiles two reed,
And aides me when eye rime.

Not In Our Town


Not In Our Town is a national movement that started with a PBS documentary and has grown since then. It caught my attention when I came across some YouTube videos of high school students demonstrating in favor of love and diversity and acceptance when faced with Fred Phelps and crew coming to protest their school or community center.

Itamar Franco's Punk Bangs

Itamar Franco's Punk Bangs, as evinced in this wikipedia entry, is the best thing on the Interwebs today. By best I mean worst. I mean look at that thing. It's so big. And standing straight up. I would say they found the worst picture of Brazil's former president in order to embarrass him, but actually, as I recall he actually ran around like that. Oh the early 90s were such a wacky time.

It's bold, and it will survive a hurricane. No joke.
