What I really like about this song is that it's in a cadence format, so the guys in uniform could sing this one while they're marching around.

Had it been written 70 years ago, this is the song that General Patton would have sung in the shower.

Pass this one along to anyone you know in theater. Veteran's Day is coming up. It'd make the perfect gift.

Also current or former member of the military can request a free copy of the song via e-mail

Most of the stuff I see on This Is Why You're Fat doesn't even look appetizing, but this one has me intrigued:

The Cookie Cake Pie

A layer of chocolate chip cookie dough and a layer of rainbow cake mix baked in a pie crust and topped with icing and sprinkles.

Make it chocolate cake, and call me.

You may also substitute brownie mix.

I hadn't the slightest idea that you could do this with Legos.

My head started exploding when he opens the box at about the 40 second mark.

Sit through the credits in the middle if you want to see some different camera angles.

Which you probably do.

Ok, I admit, I'm a fashion retard, but even *I* can spot what's wrong with this picture.

She's wearing her belt around the outside of an open cardigan.

This woman has 22 assistants. Not one of them told her how fucked up this looks.

They must all REALLY hate her.

Per Douglas Adams via Wikipedia:

The Total Perspective Vortex is allegedly the most horrible torture device to which a sentient being can be subjected.

"When you are put into the Vortex you are given just one momentary glimpse of the entire unimaginable infinity of creation, and somewhere in it a tiny little mark, a microscopic dot on a microscopic dot, which says, "You are here."

Located on Frogstar World B, the machine was originally invented by one Trin Tragula in order to annoy his wife. Because she was forever nagging him for having no sense of proportion, he decided to invent something that would show her what having a sense of proportion really meant. Unfortunately the shock of being placed in the Vortex destroyed her brain, but Trin Tragula's grief was tempered by the knowledge that he had been right and she had been wrong. In Adams' words, the Total Perspective Vortex illustrated that "In an infinite universe, the one thing sentient life cannot afford to have is a sense of proportion."

I imagine that it's something very much like this:

It's got beauty, grace, strength, and fascinatingly miniscule outfits.

Just the online edition.

And only because they use one of those script-generated "Headlines Around The Web" features.

But it's still funny, because next to a serious and fawning story about Oprah, is a link to my rude little post about a picture of her where it looks like she's getting felt up by Michelle Obama. Here's a screen capture (click to enlarge):

Screw you, New York Times. Serves you right for trusting the internet.

But the athlete has previously admitted she struggles to accept her body shape.

"My thighs... I think they're too big," she has said. "And also my arms. I think they're too muscular. They're too thick."

Whatever. I think it's just fine.

I guess she used to look like this:

Personally, I'm a big fan of the cuddly-looking version.
