Ah... THAT'S why the duct tape I used in the Navy was so much better than the crap I buy in the store.

Like indulging in a bottle of fine wine, I think everyone should try nuclear-grade duct tape at least once.

20 minutes of Carlos Mencia during his stand-up days, back before he got his own show.

If you're stuck on dial-up and can't do streaming video, try going to KeepVid, selecting "YouTube" from the drop-down menu, and downloading it while you do something else, like sleep or vacation.

So you have a buttload of favorite blogs, and you'd LIKE to celebrate their blogiversaries every year, but you just can't keep track of all those dates.

Jim of bRight & Early has a solution - The Blogiversary Database.

Just fill out the painfully easy form, confirm your submission, and you're in. Encourage your friends to do likewise, and you'll always be able to remember their special day.

For convenience, there's even a tiny piece of javascript you can put in your sidebar to display Blogiversaries (yesterday's, today's & tomorrow's). Once it's in your template, it updates by itself, so no extra work for you. Check my left sidebar below the Reader Quotes section to see how it looks.

Now go sign up so that I can keep track of you.

Hadn't seen this commercial before, but thanks to Lynn of A Sweet, Familiar Dissonance, I've found an advertisement that speaks to my soul:

Burger King - Eat Like a Man - The Texas Double Whopper

In my heart, this is only second to the Vault Scarecrow commercial.

And yes, I *did* buy Vault soda JUST because I love that commercial so.

UPDATE: Lynn's got something to say to a vegetarian feminist who was offended by the commercial

1 This is, IMHO, the best commercial out there right now. PERFECT!! AND goes a long way in making up for the creepier commercials that had out recently!

2 What Tammi said. I'm hungry now...

3 That Burger King commerical with that King guy in bed with the construction worker is just plain creepy, I had to switch the station when it came because it creeped me out to no end.

5 mmMMmmm...meat. And sorry to say it, Lynn, but driving a mini-van DOES make one less of a man.

6 And oh man, that Vault one is good -- I hadn't seen that one before!

7 I dunno. I liked the burger king super bowl commercial where the lady condiments fell on a big bun and mixed all together... well, I would have liked it if they'd "mixed". Yeah, I like the new Texas Whopper. Had two so far. It's my cup of tea. And in Ogre's eye's I guess I'm less of a man...

8 ha! Hippies! Love it. Great Vault commercial.

Posted by: GaMongrel at May 12, 2006 07:45 PM (tYXgL)

9 I didn't hear the commercial, I had the tv on mute....but I saw the words EAT THIS MEAT..and thought, holy crap!

10 Best. Commercial. Ever.

11 I have to stand up and salute with tears in my eyes whenever I see the Vault scarecrow commercial. Ooh-rah!

Posted by: K T Cat at May 13, 2006 07:38 PM (BqX4Z)

12 Oooo... I like the Vault scarecrow commercial too. Sometimes I worry about myself. It's like I'm part guy or something. (NO! I'm NOT! Not really)

Posted by: Lynn S at May 14, 2006 05:49 AM (mjQTy)

13 Just wanted to let you know that I own the scarecrow seen in the Vault commercial. No, not the wimpy scarecrow, the manly scarecrow that blows fire! That scarecrow is the only benefit to living in Los Angeles.

My idea-lemur appears comatose, so I'll just send you off to play with some bubble-wrap while I break out the smelling salts and the defibrillator.
