For whatever reason, I think that Mel Gibson would blame this photo for his DUI.

Thanks to EverBabe for the link below.

I don't know if I agree - but man, at least I'm not the big V.

The Middle East Buddy List. By Christopher Beam and Noam Rudnick

It's a pretty cool interactive chart if, like me, you got a little confused which one Hezbollah was a couple of weeks ago.

MapMyRun.com -- Mapping your running routes has never been easier!

This is a pretty cool site that hooks into Google Maps and allows you to trace your walking/running route along either the streets or the

Dug... or Ogre... or MNO... or Brian - heck, almost any of my friends and family should find this useful, or at least neat. Well, any of my friends except EverBabe or SuperMark.

Why did *I* hook it up? Well, I went to eat toda (Indian lunch buffet yesterday, Chinese today) and got a fortune cookie: "Tomorrow is a good day to try something new." The combination of my realization that (a) it's always tomorrow somewhere and (b) Everbabe was proud of me when I started my 12 hour diet led me to think that the only way for me to get going is to Simply. Get. Going.

Anyhoo. Home Depot is about a 1.5 round trip walk for me. Good to know.

Thanks to Red (via KayRay) for this site.

It's the one on the bottom right that is the most urgent.

Ogre & EverBabe would disagree with this pic a little, though - $500 isn't nearly enough...

how to enjoy sushi - Google Video

Thanks to Ragnar Tornquist for this link. As he said:

I’m sure a lot of you have seen this video before - it’s been linked to by numerous blogs since the dawn of time (well, at least since earlier this year) - but I revisited it today, it made me giggle, and I loves to shares the giggles. So, dammit, here it is:

Konichiwa!

"Special Offers," Indeed

While looking to get termite protection, I stumbled across the above link.

You tell me exactly what you think the above lady is offering, especially.

(lemme know if the link is faulty.)

Chinese Buffet for dinner

Went to City Lite buffet for dinner tonight, and got a fortune cookie that said: "Success will be yours at home and in business in the next month."

Cha-CHING! Perhaps my wacky inventions are finally going to pay off!

How To Swing - The United States Patent Office explains it all?for you. By Timothy Noah

And the above link is the OTHER reason I love Slate. A complete listing of the patent issued a few years ago for swinging. On a swing. In the playground.

I need to talk to my niece, make sure she knows about this.

Wealthy and Wise - Warren Buffett's lesson to the rich. By Jacob Weisberg

I guess the fact that there is good news every once in a while means that the MSM doesn't necessarily *always* have to say bad things about Bush.

One line in particular I liked was the following:

There's a human and personal dimension to this as well: Buffett didn't want to cripple his own children by raising them to expect a free ride. As he pointed out in response to a question Monday, people at his country club who complain about the debilitating effects of welfare should recognize that they're creating a cycle of dependency by giving their own kids "a lifetime supply and beyond of food stamps."

Amen, Brother Buffett.

I think it was Scott's "Rule 472" that made me laugh the hardest.

The Knowledge For Thirst ? Freez Lemon

You've trusted me in the past, and not been let down, right?

I mean, these guys didn't let you down, right? So I followed a random link to this site and had a ball. Read on, and see if you agree:

The Lebanese beverage industry is not a sector of the global economy you hear an awful lot about these days. Is it even legal for me to be drinking something imported from Beirut, is basically my main question. If not then I guess consider this my protest against the current administration and their war on freedom, or whatever it is they currently don’t want everyone to have.
....
It actually hit me halfway through that this tastes very much like Smirnoff Triple Black Ice, and I had a mild freak-out. Holy moly please let me not be drinking an alcoholic beverage at 9 am, at work. The ingredients seem to check out, but who knows. I am not a man of science.

Funny funny.
Chinese fortune from lunch:
"You will prosper with your wacky inventions."
(I must say - that was completely unexpected.)

Post 350! And a car.

One advantage to being in the same office park as the North American headquarters of Porshe is the unexpected perks, such as major movie stars hanging around.

For example, the Porsche from movie "Cars" is outside in our traffic circle.

shame about his arms, though...
