Why Mormons don’t need drugs
Because they build things like this. According to this video’s description, this was built at a “millionaire’s home in Utah.” Hat tip to reddit. ..bruce..

Brilliant little film (machinima)
It’s called Deviation, and it’s “filmed” within the FPS game Half-Life: Counter-Strike. Since I have three sons who collectively have spent more hours and years playing first-person-shooter games than I can comfortably conceive, I find the film particularly amusing. ..bruce..
The Comics Curmudgeon
Ran across The Comics Curmudgeon site thanks to a link from Memepool. Josh Fruhlinger, who runs the site, does out loud (well, on the web) what many of us have been doing subvocally for years: mocks the lame comics that persist on newspaper comics pages everywhere. He pays particular attention to Mary Worth, Judge Parker, […]
Speaking of North Korea…
FURTHER UPDATE (still 10/11/06, but later on): Since some of the later YouTube postings of the David Zucker “Madeleine Albright visits North Korea” video are also disappearing, I’ve captured it (using Applian tools) and am making it available here for downloads (right click and do a “Save Link As”): zucher.flv (1.62 MB; you can download […]
Ouch.
From Starpulse.com: Harrison Ford was reportedly mistaken for a tramp when he fell asleep in girlfriend Calista Flockhart’s car. The 64-year-old actor was spotted by security guards having a sneaky nap on the back seat of the vehicle, which was parked on set while Calista was shooting her new TV show Brothers and Sister. The […]
What if Al Qaeda adopted Mormon missionary techniques?
From The Chaser’s War on Everything (an Australian comedy series) comes the following attempt to recruit people into Al Qaeda using Mormon missionary techniques. “Don’t be scared, we’re just from Al Qaeda. We just wanted to discuss the destruction of Western Civilization…” OK, I’m Mormon, and I thought this was hilarious. Hat tip to Wes […]

The Triumph of Technology over Guy-ness
Gizmodo features a special kind of ring, just for guys: The Remember Ring has a special nagging feature, using its “Hot Spot” technology that warms up to 120 degrees Fahrenheit for 10 seconds, every hour, on the hour, beginning 24 hours before that “special day,” apparently honoring the anniversary of your voluntary servitude. That’s supposed […]
Geeks at play!
OK, this is the best hack I’ve seen in years: And he’s my favorite quote from Ron Patrick’s website: You have to give the California Department of Motor Vehicles (the DMV) credit for creativity on this one. A DMV insider has disclosed to me that the DMV has made a formal request to a federal […]
The fine art of self-defense
In which a woman reminisces about how her (former Marine) father taught her to stand up to some bullies when she was six years old: My Mother balked at this idea. She didn’t think little girls should be fighting. Little girls were supposed to have tea parties and then play dress up. Fighting was for […]
