Preference Personnelle
Thursday, June 10
 
I email myself links, meaning to post them here later, and I've accumulated quite a backlog. The only problem is, I can't decide whether I'd prefer to make an inappropriate metaphor (e.g., high colonic) or a pointless cultural reference (e.g., 'Cleaning Out My Closet.' Then maybe 'Looks like he came out of the pep closet! D'oh!'). Anyway.

Penn and Paul Provenza are making a movie based on comedians telling the Aristocrats joke. A South Park clip intended for said movie is quickly making the online rounds. This metafilter thread, and this Ask Metafilter thread, quickly became, y'know, a place for jokes.

Here's a page about math in Futurama, to go with the page about math in The Simpsons. Is this how Appalachian State's math department attracts students? I certainly hope so. Via Slashdot.

Here's discussion of the anti-Bush messages on the labels of Tom Bihn bags. Here's a Mefi thread about 'Let's Roll,' and a Counterpunch article about Lisa Beamer.

Here's Lux, a Risk clone. Here are a few retrogaming-themed commercials. Here's a metafilter post about science teevee shows. Here are fetus-themed products, and anti-Bush ladies' undergarments. Here's a 'Pinball Number Song' video remix. And gaming superplays.

Here's another reason to have a Telnet client--Star Wars in ASCII. I don't like Star Wars, but I like this. Here's a Slate writeup of Trio's Flops.

For someone who dislikes M$ as much as I do, I've been reading a lot of Slate lately. I blame it on being sick of those damn Salon 'ultramercials.' (and, like, ultramercial? Please.) That said, Slate's menus use stupid ActiveX controls that only work in IE (stupid among other reasons because Javascript would do the same job, and because ActiveX is the source of a lot of Microsoft's ongoing security woes), wildly reducing the site's functionality for, well, me. Do you think complaining would do any good?
