The turducken fell through. Laulau and beef to replace.

I wanted to get some of this hairy cat soap for someone this Christmas, but I can't find it stateside. Funky.

Mosey on over to Pork4Kids, the "youth outreach" arm of the national pork industry. Complete with anthropomorphic pork chop cartoon!

If you thought adult baby clothes was bad, wait till you get a load of thumb sucking adults!

Tshirts tommorow. Prime rib will be served in case the turducken doesn't arrive.

Some things are just too strange. Be amazed, be very amazed at what you can find online.

Afroman strikes again

SPRINGFIELD, Mass. -- A District Court judge has ordered a Connecticut teen facing misdemeanor alcohol and drug charges to listen to and write a report on the song "Because I Get High" by rapper Afroman.

In today's LA-Ottawa game, 252 penalty minutes were handed out, highlighted by BOTH goalies being thrown out of the game. Read the brutality here.

Not sure what to call the system of beliefs you subscribe to? Belief-o-matic can tell you! I haven't even heard of some of these.

Is this a must-click link or what? Blackmanwithagun.net is the Web site of Kenneth V. F. Blanchard, a security consultant and "self proclaimed chief evangelist for the right to keep and bear arms."

This company is offering a service where it'll send your emails after you die. While its an interesting concept, does that mean you can spam from the great beyond?

Hawaiian Aloha

NEW YORK, Dec. 19 -- Hawaiian Airlines Inc. and Aloha Airgroup Inc. said on Wednesday they planned to merge the two Hawaiian carriers under a new holding company called Aloha Holdings Inc. to create a strong single airline for the U.S. island state.

Unfortunately, that GF3 card was fux0red and had to be removed. I am hoping it's just defective; gonna switch it out today.

Well the squids over at Firingsquid got around to posting up their full review of Return to Castle Wolfenstein. Looks interesting, garners a fairly good score, but I bet GR is a far superior game. I wonder if they're going to review it?

I wish this were a joke, but I don't think it is. Fetalphone is a ridiculous contraption that, well, allows you to talk to your unborn baby. Looks like a beer bong to me!

Here's a little page on a commercial PETA felt they shouldn't go through with showing on TV.

Yes, it's the Power Goth girls. There's a cool quote somewhere on this site: "Beware the lollipop of mediocrity. Lick once and you suck forever." Anyway.

Seguway

The new "Segway" people-scooter has the United States all a-buzz with possibilities and promises to transform personal transportation forever. Announced just last month, it's the newest idea around and considered very revolutionary by the scientific community. Kazuo Yamafuji isn't so impressed, though-he says he's had the idea for years and he even patented it idea back in 1996.

Tokenasians T-shirts coming soon.

Step by step instruction on how to convert your DVDs into DiVX, be warned, it sucks down processor cycles like no tommorow.

Read a review of some veggie meats here. These veggie chicken patties are actually good.

Who exactly is Eugene Mirman and why did he makes this site.

Seems like NHL broadcasters have taken to calling Philadelphia Flyers' Goalie Roman Cechmanek "Mr. Bean". You be the judge if it's appropriate ... Cechmanek Mr. Bean.

For you penguin (and Penguins) fans: a few seconds of mirth.

Well he's not free, but Mumia Abu-Jamal's death sentence has been thrown out. He's to get a new sentencing hearing, but not a new trial. One can't help but wonder how this will all end.

Here's a great article over at Pie's Tactics about friendly fire in Ghost Recon. IMHO the friendly fire dynamic in GR is the most realistic I've ever seen. The article includes a rundown of the four multiplayer uniform types, complete with pictures. Submitted by Mafioso.

Token sex content for today: The Illustrated Book of Sexual Records is actually misnamed; the records are NOT illustrated. But they are interesting nonetheless.

It's ebonics from another era. The Jive Bible catalogs some of the colorful metaphors in this English dialect. The examples are classic!

Looks like Christmas came a little early this year ... plagued by single-digit framerates on the more complex Ghost Recon maps, I bit the bullet and bought a Geforce 3 Ti 200. Have a look here for a side-by-side with my old GF2 GTS. Yes, ramsinks! Here it is as installed in my messy case.

My other toy of the moment is the B30LPS Lithium-polymer battery set for E-10. I broke down after B&H Photo dropped its price for the kit to $250. The camera's ergonomics are improved but the best thing is the extra battery life: a week later, I haven't recharged the battery yet after its initial charging!

Still chasing down a bug with the graphics card; more later.

Sometimes, something inexplicable happens that surprises even the most jaded among us. I replayed the mission countless times to get all my guys through alive, but he still caught a non-fatal bullet right near the end.
