Although Richard Evans’ excellent site remembertheeighties.com is spotlighted in this Guardian article, Driko’s ‘80s Music And Nostalgia got a mention. Woo hoo!

The Onion reports on a disturbing development in Raleigh, North Carolina:

Only hours after the Carolina Hurricanes won the NHL Championship Monday night in a hard-fought Game 7 against the Edmonton Oilers, North Carolina Gov. Michael Easley mobilized the National Guard to contain over two dozen members of what he described as “some sort of depraved, violent, heretofore unheard-of gang calling themselves the Hurricanes.”

I still find it hard to believe that there is a hockey fan base in states like North Carolina and Florida, but whatever. I was really hoping Edmonton would pull it out, but they played pretty damn shitty in Game 7…

The recent Worth1000.com PhotoShop contest Real Life Merit Badges 3 was pretty fun…

Check out this disturbing Johnny Carson-era Tonight Show video of Tiny Tim covering Rod Stewart’s Do Ya Think I’m Sexy (YouTube video), with horrifyingly predictable results.

Update: Looks like the video was removed from YouTube :-(. If I find another link, I’ll post it. In the meantime, the actual video for the song is almost as disturbing…

Whose quote is it, Ann Coulter’s or Adolf Hitler’s? I hate to give her any attention, so I figured I’d post some flamebait instead… ;-p

“Pam Beesley” (better known as Jenna Fischer), the secretary from The Office, has a myspace page. It seems legitimate enough, but I guess you never know for sure…

Stephen Colbert recently interviewed Georgia Representative Lynn Westmoreland, a Congressman who’s “co-sponsored a bill to require the display of the Ten Commandments in the House of Representatives and the Senate.” However, when questioned Westmoreland couldn’t even name all Ten Commandments (YouTube video). What a pitiful display. Stephen Colbert rocks…

“64K is a rap group straight outta Victoria BC that just upped a game-laden video called 1337.” Their musical skills may be lacking, and they are definitely way too young to really know what a Commodore 64 is, but I still have to give them props for not forgetting Old Skool gaming platforms and computers. 😉

typolis has written a very nice bookmarklet that allows you to easily geocode (embed longitude and latitude information) flickr photos, displaying a Google Map right next to the photo while you are viewing it in flickr. Simple and effective…

The new Folgers commercial entitled Happy Morning is somewhat unsettling…
