God Bless America
I’m not even a huge fan of meatloaf, but this is just about the coolest thing I’ve ever seen. Ever.

I Shall Call Her Him Mini-Urhines.
It gets better. That is just the first of six names. Honestly, what is wrong with people? I wish I knew the story behind the name(s). Maybe we can just call her him UKIESK for short?
UPDATE: How did I not realize it was a boy’s name? Silly me.

Zoo Escape Attempt Thwarted
What could possibly go wrong when you dress someone up as an ape, have them escape from the zoo, and then shoot them with a tranquilizer dart? Oh, right, the school kids might not get it. Hilarious pictures ensue.

Posing that musical question.
Three of my favourite musical moments from last weekend.
I learned a lot from this one.
Oh, Andy. You weirdo man-boy. Also, I dig that song.
This really speaks to me, the daughter of an Irishman. It looks just like our Friday nights! And our Saturday nights. And our Monday nights. Plus, Wednesdays.

HEROS
I have a new goal in life. I will need to remain focused and dedicated to even dream of someday competing, but these men are true heroes in every sense of the word. The World Beard and Moustache Championships will be held in England this year, but return to the USA in 2009. I need to must compete. Or watch. Or casually observe their website.

Tales from my bookmarks, part one.
We’ve been internet access-y for a little under ten years, and through using AOL and 100 different computers, have a weird amalgam of links and favourites that sometimes reappear from 1998 [Hanson World?], right alongside more recent links [a sobering, adult cnn.com]. I am way, way too lazy to prune through my entire list, but sometimes I get drunk and check to see what links still work. Here’s one that drunkertained me tonight:
Advice from Satan
A collection of pieces housed on the Brunching Shuttlecock site, which ceased updating in 2003. I love the helpful, straight-talking tone; it never feels like Satan’s lecturing me, you know? Example, on the subject of laundry:
READ THE TAGS! Some clothes need to be dry-cleaned. And if you put them in the wash with the rest of the laundry, you’ll damage these fragile vestments, earn my wrath, and be forced to spend eternity suffering in Hell, where your soul will be forever scrubbed raw by a host of swarming maggots.
And nobody wants that.
See? And now I know!
BONUS LINK: Traveling abroad or not, nothing says WEEKEND FODDER like Amsterdam Hotlinks! Unfortunately, it’s not what you think. But really, really good for planning a trip to, I don’t know, Utrecht. I mean. Probably.

The BEST Place to Hide Your Valuables
I never have any cash, but if I did and needed a place to keep it safe, this would work. I wonder if they have a portable version?
