Time to get your grill on (Yes, I said it)! It’s the Weber Utility Shirt. Pockets! Stain-resistant! Mesh armpits! What more could a man want?
Frankenstein’s Skull

Tired of politics and work and everything else that reminds you of having to be a responsible, contributing, member of society? Waste some time checking out Frankenstein’s skull, among other things, over at Sideshow World. It’s Friday – you owe it to yourself.
Everyone Loves Jello….

From Daily KOS a short post pointing out the best review of McCain’s speach last night:
“Oh, Go with the Green Background”
“It’ll make you look like the cottage cheese in a lime jello salad” Always a good look for an older gentlemen.
The aesthetics of McCain’s speech, just mercifully completed before a slightly energized crowd of literally dozens, was awesome in how dreadful it was. No matter what Harold Ford thinks, who was somehow thoroughly moved by lime-jello McCain.

“Growing Up Star Wars 1977-1985″ is a Flickr photo pool with submissions from folks who grew in this magical time showcasing the wonder that was Star Wars merchandise and the joy this brought to countless children.
I got my first Star Wars action figure in my Easter basket one year. Most of my friends already had plenty of the gear and I was late to the game, but I remember finding the package that spring morning and how excited I was.
Ben Kenobi! I cradled the figure in my hands as I ran a block and a half up the street to show my friend Derick who owned just about every Star Wars toy available.
I think about it now and I am awed by and embarrassed of and jealous of
how easily overjoyed I could be by a $2 piece of plastic that looked like that creepy old guy who dies at the end of the movie that we all just couldn’t get enough of. Yich….

Foot in Mouth Disease
June 3, 2008
From the Washington Post:
Vice President Cheney apologized for saying yesterday that he has “Cheneys on both sides” of his family tree dating back to the 1600s, “And we don’t even live in West Virginia.”
The quip drew groans from the audience at the National Press Club, prompting the vice president to add, “You can say those things when you’re not running for reelection.” (The White House transcript of Cheney’s comments, released last night, described laughter instead of groans.)
I’m not judging. I just think it’s funny as hell.
Are you a good person?

Take the test and find out. My guess is you’ll be going to Hell. See you there, and I’ll bring the gin. Go ahead and try not ending up in Hell when you take this little test. Bwaaahaaaahaaaahaaaahaaaaa!
