Eddie Izzard in Lego
Your fun for the day:
A friend of mine sent me this link. The related videos are well worth watching.
Worthy observations
Trains & people not mixing well
My uncle works as an engineer for Union Pacific. As he can attest trains simply cannot stop when some dipshit gets out in front of them. I know for a fact that this video is just the sort of incident that keeps him up at night. As the video states, there’s inappropriate language for appropriate reasons.
Will a post on sex get more views?
Sex and the Olympic city curtesy of the UK Times. There’s gotta be a Romeo and Juliet style story in this.
The five most underrated Simpson’s characters. I particularly like the example of Arnie Pye’s traffic report.
The game sensation…
As a follow up to the time I spent writing about Bush as Batman (I really should have better things to do) I present you with Bush or Batman. I missed a couple.
Links
I’m swamped today, but I’ve got some links I thought I’d save for later:
A review of The War of the World.
Emily Dickenson as a post 9/11 poet.
A History of Hooch (good title)
Keep in mind I haven’t read any of these yet.
Required Reading
This peice by Kurt Vonnegut is required reading for my students in intro to college composition. Good advice all round.
