Denver Nuggets

If Will's going to drop the T&A posts, I'll have to pick up the slack. Check out what Denver's talking about today, a distraction form the recent bad news, I suppose.

deadly inaccuracy

Here's one for the Silver Lining file. Of many reasons, my foremost one for fearing a Dubya presidency was his record on the death penalty. But maybe his presence in the Oval Office has spurred a careful examination of existing policies.

Here's a bit of entertainment. Actually, too long to be considered a bit, and way too long to be a work distraction, but when you have a chunk of time to kill -- telnet to towel.blinkenlights.nl.

mmm, fried Twinkie !?

I had dinner at this fabulous place in Brooklyn this past Sunday. No fried desserts for me this time, though; I was good. The Chip Shop isn't way overpriced like where I used to go, and the folks there are much nicer.

Wow, and you thought your dad put a lot of pressure on you. Almost makes you want to join the hikikomori, doesn't it?

Power trip

If your day at work is sucking and you need to feel a little more powerful, try this.

Red-eye reduction

Here you go. Enjoy it. But please don't ask me to explain it. I just got off a red-eye, and an aptly named one, too, since I ran out of saline (and no, I did not follow any of the advice in those columns either; I even watched the movie).

Ninja code

"As a ninja, you obtain certain responsibilities such as kicking asses and looking cool and tough."

Coincidence Design, stalkers for hire

If you're wealthy but still fairly young, you work out, and you can make witty remarks, but you can't find a good woman, maybe it's because you think witty remarks are a suitable substitute for intelligence, substance, and compassion.
Or maybe you're just an idiot.

Hmm, maybe your affectionate kitty actually has an ulterior motive.

Gettysburg Powerpoint Presentation

See, this is why I hate business speak. And what's sad is that it doesn't even get all the important points across.

Chef lust

Mmmm, hunky chef (for your pleasure). Time to take a trip to lovely coastal Maine!

Maybe you have to be a techie to enjoy George, or maybe just an editorial freak like me. All I know is I've got tears streaming down my face for trying to keep workplace decorum and not laugh out loud every other ticket....

Play nice, everyone.

First road rage, now this. Am I wrong, or is the world becoming a much crankier place?

Do you know Amanda Lepore? You must know Amanda Lepore. Amanda, Amanda, Amanda Lepore. (Warning: may contain nudity justified as fashion, or even art.)

I always have trouble choosing a new password (my indian name being "Paralyzed By Indecision"). This won't make things any easier.

Dictator or TV Sitcom Character?

When I first saw this, Benazir Bhutto was good for an easy win. Now, it seems to be obsessed with Debra Messing. Stump the automaton!

Waste brain cells when you're not killing them.

rant

Why don't more people get upset by stuff like this? When did we turn into Playboy Nation, where women serve at the pleasure of men who aren't even expected to have any sense of honor or responsibility towards them? Who said we would have to trade in respectful treatment to get equal rights and opportunities? We have our own type of fundamentalist oppression going on in the West, and it involves valuing women for their looks above all else, and making sure that they remember that they are as disposable as the pages of the Victoria's Secret catalog.
You haven't come a long way, baby, after all.

The greatest diet ever told

If, like many of us, you have resolved to lose weight in 2002, let the Lord help you.
