- Go Kikkoman!
- A friend sent me this link to some cartoon/ad for—as far as I can tell—Kikkoman Soy Sauce. My immediate response to watching it besides stunned disbelief was to quote the ever-wise Erik Eric Cartman: “It has warped my fragile little mind.” ...and am I mistaken... full entry
- Insuring the Virtual?
- Jullian Dibbell posted what appears to be a transcript of a telephone conversation he had with PayPal. In it he asks about whether a virtual item (in this case an account to an online game) was guaranteed under PayPal’s Seller Protection Policy. The transcript is... full entry
- Great be Sneeve
- So, you were impatient and decided to buy a bootleg asian copy of The Two Towers, but you didn’t count on all the laughs you’d get from the Engrish subtitles! These are apparently screenshots of the actual subtitles that were included on the bootleg. The... full entry

- Gollum in Da House!
- First there was the Star Wars Gangsta Rap, which is already a classic and something I haven’t gotten sick of yet. Now we have the Gollum Rap in the same spirit. This one isn’t as well done, but it’s still quite entertaining. Enjoy!
- New Comic: her!
- Dangit… here’s yet another great web comic that I now want to read. I’m not going to have time pretty soon, there are so many. “her!” features a girl, a pig, and lots of really funny situations. I think I’m going to have to make... full entry
- Politician Admits to Space Aliens!
- Okay, not quite. Not being a California resident myself, I really don’t care all that much about the whole recall hoopla going on and I’m not following it, but something linking to this article did catch my eye—a quote from Governor Gray Davis: My vision... full entry
- Arrr!! Shiver me Grog, Bilge Rat!
- Yaarrgghh!! Today be ”Talk Like a Pirate” day here. Hoist yer grog and raise the pirate flag—we be keelhauling tha land-lubber t’night! Dave Barry wrote about “International Talk Like a Pirate Day” last year and now you can take part in it, too. Dust off... full entry
- Music Industry: Take My Money!
- John Hargrave apparently enjoys taking things to the extreme. I wrote before about his experience with credit card signatures. This time he’s turning his eyes on the recording industry. Specifically, he’s trying to get anyone at all to take his money for “illegally downloaded MP3s”.... full entry
- The City of Dis
- I mentioned earlier today that I was guilty… well, now I’ve been judged, too. According to the Dante’s Inferno I’m a bad, bad person. It seems that I’m destined to end up in the sixth level of hell. I’m sure I’ll have good company!

- ‘Weapon Of Choice’ Flash Video
- Gareth Forman has reproduced the famous (and excellent) Fatboy Slim video for “Weapon of Choice” as a stick-figure Flash animation. It’s pretty much an exact recreation of the original video. Speaking of the original, if you haven’t seen it, you should definitely download it now.... full entry
- Windowsupdate.com running Linux?
- That’s what it looks like when you view the site on Netcraft. Scroll down a bit and you’ll see “Linux” listed. So, is Microsoft actually using a Linux server for their windowsupdate.com service. As funny as that would be and as much as we might... full entry

- Sue All The World
- From the creator of the catch phrase “Napster Bad!!"… from the people who brought us “MetalliCops"… comes a new cartoon of incredible scope and veracity… Sue All the World! Or something like that. Yes, I realize the above is cheesy beyond belief and really lame.... full entry
- Honda ‘Cog’ Parody
- I wrote a while back about the Cog ad put out by Honda (though not shown here in the US). It’s a wonderful 2 minute real-life rube goldberg machine in action. Anyway, someone has gone and made a parody of that ad. This one is... full entry
- History Of The Internet
- The Lemon gives us both a very funny and surprisingly accurate history of the internet. 2000: EPA warns that entire surface of the earth will be completely blanketed with AOL CDs by the end of 2007 Hey, at least the AOL/MSN discs are coming in... full entry
June 2003
- Will Ferrell: Class Day Speech
- This is the text to the Class Day speech that Will Ferrel gave at the Harvard Commencement. As most of you are probably aware, I didn’t graduate from Harvard. In fact, I never even got a call back from Admissions. Damn you, Harvard! Damn you!... full entry
- When Cybersex Goes Bad
- Got this link off Davezilla and it’s by far one of the funniest things I’ve read in recent memory. Its something like I imagine I’d try if I ever participated in cybersex: j_gurli3: thats ok. ok i’m a japanese schoolgirl, what r u. bloodninja: A... full entry
- Homestar Kicks Ass
- Yeah, you know you’ve seen the Homestar Runner link over in the right sidebar forever now. If you’re a smart cookie you even visit every monday to see what’s new. Well, it appears that lots of other people are getting into it, too, since Wired... full entry
- The Matrix Reloaded: Abridged
- Editing Room presents an abridged script for The Matrix Reloaded. “Abridged” in this case should be taken to mean “really, really funny”, of course. It says everything that both you and I have secretly thought about the movie and either 1) loudly proclaimed to everyone... full entry
- MTV Movie Awards “Speeches”
- I don’t watch MTV and I didn’t watch the MTV Movie Awards, but I did hear that both Yoda and Gollum got nominated for a couple of awards. Anyway, for those of us who missed it, you can find the Yoda speech to watch. However,... full entry
- How to Sign your Credit Card
- So, does the act of signing a credit card receipt really mean anything? Does anyone check? Well, someone decided to see just how far they could go with “crazy” signatures before someone would call them on it. Hilarity ensues. (On a both related and unrelated... full entry
