toilet art
Next time you're dropping the kids off at the pool and you're near the end of the roll, why not give a shot at making art out of garbage? Toilet paper rolls, solely the art domain of little children no longer. (That quetzal is scary.)
If you're not near the end of the roll you may want to try origami.
If you're rocking the 802.11x, why not visit The Poop Report while you're doing your business?

they're the new 88x31
The hottest new thing is buttons is these cute 80x15 thingers. They're spreading like wildfire hotcakes on crack. They originated at antipixel (way back in October of 2002! Wow!). Enterprising young persons can now generate them dynamically (very smart) or make some and freeze them for use later.
The artsy types prefer a larger canvas, and have moved to 200x40. Some of those buttons are wicked cool, though.

oh slipslop
If you live near NYC (say, within 5,000 miles), then I highly recommend you haul your ass to the Upright Citizens Brigade Theater for hilarious sketch and improv comedy. On Sundays they have a show called Asssscat 3000 that is totally improv-licious. It always features members of the Upright Citizens Brigade, and it usually has guests fron SNL and Second City. I saw the 9:30PM show yesterday and three of the 4 members of UCB were there. (Matt Besser was off, most likely working on his new show.) I highly recommend it, if you have the means. It is so choice. Also, free stickers.
In other comedy news, Run Ronnie Run is finally coming to DVD, September 16th, 2003. From the guys who brought you Mr. Show, I've heard people call RRR a cult-hit, but really its cultish of the highest order: never released in theaters, the only way you can see it is if a friend of a friend of a friend gives you a beat-up VHS copy, or you find it online. I'm a big Mr. Show fan, and even I haven't gone through the trouble of tracking it down. Part of the reason is a lot of hardcore fans have said it wasn't really that good. Still, I'll be buying it, if only to support Bob and David.

getting my read on
I would dearly like to create a 'media' sideblog that shows what I have recently, am currently, and will soon consume. Subject matter will include printed books, periodicals (I almost always read them cover to cover), popular music albums, and films, both in theaters and on DVD.
However, I'm criminally uninspired right now. You will get this small morsel in lieu of the 5 course meal. No ETA provided.
Last: Kitchen Confidential: Adventures in the Culinary Underbelly
Current: The New New Thing: A Silicon Valley Story
Next: Reefer Madness: Sex, Drugs, and Cheap Labor in the American Black Market

he has enough hate to power a small city
Horse hate Bundestag. Horse hate liar. Horse hate O'Hare. Horse hate grunt. Horse hate appellation. Horse hate bushels. Horse hate kettles. Horse hate arbor. Horse hate Gaithersburg.
That horse sure can hate.

foundations of rock music
"Rock music should be dangerous. A lot of European bands right now are pretty dangerous. But American rock music is way too safe." --Per Stalberg, Division of Laura Lee, on 120 Minutes.
The last episode of 120 Minutes aired on May 4th, 2003, and it was a sad day. 120 Minutes has been a near-weekly fixture on MTV and MTV2 since 1986! I don't think any other show on MTV has been on that long, and it did it with no advertising, without so much as a simple page on the MTV.com website.
I still have the show on my TiVo, if you would like to come over and watch it.
It will be replaced by a new show called Subterranean which will air Friday nights at midnight. I would have preferred that they kept the name, kept the tradition going, but I'll watch and support this new show.

uncle sam wants you to conserve your precious fluids
The Army apparently has a strict policy on, uh, self-love, in the showers.
I love rebuses. (I know the above aren't strictly rebuses. Shut up.) They're a fun word game that even little children can play (teachers take note), and they were in the spotlight in one of my more favorite game shows, Classic Concentration.
Best game show of all-time was, of course, Press Your Luck. The new version of PYL is Whammy!, which besides having a shitty name, is not nearly as entertaining for one reason: no Peter Tomarken. I know Peter Tomarken and you, Todd Newton, are no Peter Tomarken.

Yes, the RIAA and the fine XMMS people want to help you become better citizens. All future versions of XMMS will feature algorithms to detect illegal copyrighted works. Yes, the Killer Japanese Seizure Robots will be there to help with enforcement. And web design.

irc quote database
I know eveyone has seen it, but the Quote Database contains the grand sum of all knowledge available on IRC. Which as it turns out, is surprisingly minute, but also hilariously funny.
