Liveblog: The Chicago Thanksgiving Day Parade

People, I don’t have the space or time to properly list what I love about this city. But one of them is that we’ve got our own goddamn Thanksgiving Day Parade, and it’s a magnificent mix of big-city production values, local-news dorkiness, and genuine small-down WTF. I’m starting late, but this is our day morning, [...]

I have the genius Witt to thank for introducing me to the Saturday Morning Breakfast Cereal, one of the funniest comics I’ve read in years. Not just the following panel, but the whole thing. I can’t say anything about it that it can’t show you more effectively; simply follow the link to hilarity.

bizarre liquor: first blood, part II

In the very same liquor store that yielded yesterday’s dimly troubling mingling of lady and liquor, I ran across a similarly vexing fusion of distilled spirits and the rest of the world: a little miracle product named sniper vodka.

It’s rare that I’m shown something as utterly perfect as what I’m about to show you. My undying thanks to Brewcaster, who sent me this. Without further ado: Kitty on a Roomba.

Dick Cavett done it again!

Good gracious mother of sandwich, how I love Dick Cavett’s blog at the New York Times web site. Today’s nugget of choice: The Wordsmith of Wasilla, on Sarah Palin’s utter disregard for the English language, and really for communication of any sort not involving choosing an outfit.
It’s filled with delightful observations about not just the [...]

Please do read this marvelous little ditty in Salon, sent to my by my main man Natrone, about the resonant pathos of the LOLcat. You’ll never look at a bucket the same way.
“We have seen the LOLcats, and they are us.”
