Study Breakin' With the Internets

Cleaning out ye olde bookmarkes in reverse order, we find:

Hak makes PGA Tour. Seriously.
Interesting: SOme of the Challenged Franken Ballots. People are dumb.
Happy 40th Birthday White Album!
Speaking of the Fab Four, an interesting article on that mystery chord.
And, oh yeah, despite being halved, they may have a new song coming out. This song.
The love you take?
The Coolest Word-Nerd Gadget Ever: Visuwords
Next time someone asks you a dumb question, give an annoying answer.
In another in a long series of DFW links, here's an essay about conservative talk radio.
The Compelte Monty Python on the web.
This may be fake, but kids' letters to G_d are hilarious.
Fire Joe Morgan calls it quits.
Do you like Obama Buttons? 'Cause this guy does.
I've linked to these before, but tilt-shift photography is cool.
The World is Simpsonized.
Nice article on James Joyce.

Note to U.S. Presidents - DO NOT flash gang / sexual innuendo signs in photos. They will laugh at you. And ftr, that is the 2008 champion ASU track team, and that is supposed to be a trident. Yeah, right.

And now, videos. This first one is an incredible Guitar Hero parody:



You may or may not be aware that one of my favorite jokes involves a nun and a revolving door. Here is another joke about nuns:


Bach's Toccata and Fugue in D Minor by the California Guitar Trio



If you had my particular set of childhood experiences, you would now be humming Classic IV's "Spooky" and thinking about Uncle Schmedley. The will will not be read! What color will it be? Oh man, I just realized that was Rocky Horror with sea lions instead of transvestites.

Please file under que el diablo?:



ANd note this video because 1, Pete Drake OWNS Peter Frampton, and 2, what is with those people? The post I read described them as "David Lynch extras." YES.



And who doesn't love THIS:



So, one thing I'm interested in studying is philosophy of fiction. Here's an example of something that just kills me. Why are we so dumb?
Play 99 Bricks. It's like Tetris AND Jenga!
I think Ah-nold has been reading White Noise.
Nice photo-blog from Boston.com. Another from the WSJ.
I had just heard a certain song on the radio when I read this.
And another Onion link! Take that, Pitchfork!

Alright, time to get back to work. But one last thing. Just in case you're not grabbing Chinese Democracy this week - and if you're not, you ain't seen nothing Nyet - you can still get a free Dr. Pepper because the album indeed came out before the end of 2008. But really, you should get the album, because Chucky CK Klosterman gives it an A-, and his word is gold. Plus any review that contains the line "You know, I've weighed all my options and all their potential consequences, and I'm going with the Mexican vampire accent"can only be about a work of genius. So support AXL!!!
