As a cooking show host, Bigfoot is "a lot like Alec Baldwin - if Alec Baldwin were extremely volatile, aggressively bisexual, and slightly less hairy... " (Thanks, Keith!)

CNN.com - Some, tired of 'North,' want just plain Dakota - June 27, 2001 -- The truth is that they just want to steal the spotlight from their sister-state, South Dakota.

A little workplace humor from my friend Patrick: Apparently, someone was using a urinal or brushing his teeth or doing step-aerobics in the restroom and needed a hook upon which he or she could hang his or her coat. Or hat. Or string bag of oranges, whatever.

There's no website for this, but the Boston edition of the free daily newssheet Metro ran the headline yesterday "State Split Over Gay Rights" underneath a huge color photo of a man in make-up and a giant flower costume. I think if they really wanted to choose an image of the gay community that would frighten those who are frightened by that kind of thing, they should have gone the extra mile and found a picture of a guy in make-up and a giant flower costume offering candy to a small child. This is just, if you'll forgive the expression, pansy stuff.

This week's This Modern World starts off by making an interesting observation about why there have been no new oil refineries in the U.S., but blows his point in the second panel. Not only does he fail to show why cheap oil is a "basic human need" (which heating oil is,) but he obscures the fact by focusing on "gas-guzzling SUVs." Bringing health care into the discussion only confuses it further. He's left making the GOP look like proponents of personal environmental responsibility, even depicting VP Cheney as admonishing people to "drive smaller cars!"

Japanese man steals his long-lost daughter's car. What is almost as interesting as the circumstances is that apparently in Japan theft "committed between lineal relations, married couples and relatives living together won't be penalized." (Plastic discussion)

GAH! The dot-com collapse hits home: Suck goes on indefinite leave. Suck is one of the longest running web publications going, having just passed their fifth anniversary. When will this madness stop?

Weblogs and journals I read regularly even though I have no idea who these people are: plasticbag.org, Little Yellow Different, and Cherry Cherry.
