Late Night Throw-back (Burgertime!)

That's right, it's Burgertime! A friend got me thinking about Apple IIc games today, and I found that there's an exhaustive list of games for the IIc listed on wikipedia (no big surprise there, actually), and as I started to scroll down, the first thing that caught my eye was Burgertime. I recognized others, but this game was definitely a classic of my childhood, this and Dig Dug!

I don't really know what else to say, except that this brought a huge smile to my face, as I suppose childhood memories are supposed to.

Wonderful Distraction Alert!

This is going to sound dirty, but you should seriously check out porkmoustache. I know, I know, it sounds... well, potentially very strange at the very least, but I would posit that the best adjectives to describe this singular phenomena are quirky and/or goofy. Super happy-making photo fun for your day.

Hat tip to my friend Tiff whose facebook page tipped me off to the moustache!

Laughable

Seriously, I just wanted to throw up a couple recent favorites from Wonkette. Here goes:

• On Tuesday they had a fun and exciting post about one of John McCain's most prominent Democratic supporters. Am I talking about our jowly and pugnacious senior senator from CT, Ole' Joe Lieberman? Nope, I'm of course talking about almost Governor of West Virginia Icky Frye. Don't know who he is? Check it out.
• Yesterday they, like many blogs, covered the new cover from New York Magazine, which prominently features a terrorist fist-jab between John McCain and Barack Obama. Are you wondering to yourself, "Terrorist Fist-wha???" No worrries, I got background for ya right here.
  

Tom Waits Ol' 55

Tom Waits week continues with a classic cut from his 1973 debut, Closing Time, "Ol' 55"



All Music Guide says, "The lyrics are terrific – “Well my time went so quickly/I went lickedly spitly/Out to my ol’ 55” is the song’s opening, and it progresses into a most moving account of a man and his car as one can possibly imagine."

I'll Go All Leviticus On Ya!

So James Dobson has begun trying to convince evangelicals not to vote for Barack Obama, and the Daily Show, as usual, has brilliant coverage of Dobson's comments. They do this funny thing that helps you see some of the irony in what Mr. Dobson has to say, they use what the kids are calling, "context."

Brilliant!
