yendiQuick impression for you: Caw, caw. Bang! Fuck, I'm dead!
Top Dollar remains one of my all-time favorite movie villains.
And no, Veteran's Day is not a paid holiday for me. I don't think I've ever had a job where it was, actually.
Anyway, some links:
1. Who the fuck needs privacy, anyway, asks "intelligence" deputy. When I write a link like that pointing to CNN and not The Onion, something's really wrong.
2. Evanier has one of the best rebuttals to some of the "the strikers are silly" arguments I've seen.
3. John Scalzi visited the Creation Museum, and has written up a nice report. As he notes, it's "an attractive and diverting repository for a massive load of horseshit." Alas, we live in a country that likes its horseshit.
4. The Jets didn't lose yesterday! Yes, I'll take any silver lining I can get.
5. Free McDonald's Extra Value Meal for filling out a quick survey. Of course, whether eating at McDonald's is ever worth it is another question.
6. Reagan's "Innocent mistakes."
7. Because you demanded it: MC Hammer launches a social networking site dedicated to dancing.
8. Mostly for personal reference: The New England History Festival. In Watertown. Two days after Thanksgiving.
9. A short but good interview with the director of the AstroBoy movie.
10. Finally, Amazon's added two more DVD sales to the ever-growing list. There's an up-to-50% off hit movies and TV series sale (with Desperate Housewives, Ugly Betty, The Jungle Book, Meet the Robinsons, Bridge to Terabithia, and more). And there's an up-to-60% off TV sale, focusing on four older shows: Magnum, P.I., Murder, She Wrote, Leave it to Beaver, and the Hardy Boys/Nancy Drew Mysteries.
