- My own bit of whimsey:The Terrifyingly True Connections between "American Gothic" and me!
- George Hart describes How to Make Trilobite Cookies, along with a pictures of a tray of said cookies and their fossilized ancestor. Tasty and educational, too! Fans of the TV show "The Tick" (animated series now gone, live-action version rumored) may have seen an episode where Arthur's sister Dot made these for a party.
- Wes Clark captures his youth in Avocado Memories.
- Sad stories and gloomy pictures abound at the
Center for Shopping Cart Abuse Prevention.
I love the customized graphics fade-in/-out for each Top Ten SC Abuser (a zoom-in on a
map for one, a beating heart for Top Ten SCA #8, alias "Rhumba Meister").
- You can cheer up with Rebeca Lynn Eisenberg's entertaining comments on technology and business issues -- I don't always agree with her, but she's a pretty good read.
- Or you can see how YOUR love life stacks up against "Things My Girlfriend and I Have Argued About"
- One of my favorite happy songs is "Johnny Appleseed", so I enjoyed reading about "Johnny Highwaycone." Candy Corns, not just for Halloween any more!
- Mystery Science Theater 3000 riffed bad movies with references ranging from Umberto Eco to Urkel. Check out Deus Ex Machina for the most complete MST3K web site, including links to other sites. Unfortunately, it's off the air now (unless the Sci-Fi or Comedy channel starts re-runs), but tapes are available. As Joel noted once, the right people will get it. Push the button, Frank.
Sveedish Sarah-Land
If Wordsworth had known mock Swedish, the language spoken by the chef on The Muppet Show, he might have written this:
"Ay vhundurd loonly ess a clood det pesses oofer vayles und heels,
vhen all at vhunce ay cayme akruss a hoost uff gooldun daffy deals.
Bork! Bork! Bork!" - researcher, Dave Bird
If only you had visited Sarah-Land earlier, you could have traversed all my pages in mock Swedish, but that option is, sadly, currently unavailable.
If you like the above snippet of mock Swedish Wordsworth, perhaps you'd enjoy more
humorous poems.
