• The Blue Yak recently posted some great Top 10 lists, including top 10 prison survival tips and top 10 bizarre moustaches.
• This mixtapesbringsmiles blog is kind of fun and a good way to hear some new tunes.
• France’s oldest World War I soldier died at 110. A couple of years ago he said, “War is something absurd, useless, that nothing can justify.” Typical French pinko pantywaister! War rules! Pass me some freedom fries! These colors don’t run!
• You may remember that I went to Scrapplefest last year. Well, I have a feeling that scrapple afficianardos cannot be pleased about the latest scrapple development: Vegan scrapple. (via Foobooz)

Here’s a hilarious site I recently came across, stuffwhitepeoplelike.com. It reminds me of an old favorite, blackpeopleloveus.com. And while we’re at it, we might as well throw in the top 10 rap songs that white people love.

• Our friends in Denver just had their annual Geek Bowl, and it appears to have been a rousing success. Not to brag or objectify, but I would like to note that the majority of our volunteer staff in the front lobby were HOT LESBIANS. And they were very active so technically our lobby was a cauldron of Hot Lesbian Action. Yes!!!!!!
• The City Paper talked to Ken Jennings last week.
• There is going to be the 6th annual Sports Trivia Bowl in Norman, OK, this weekend. It will be hosted by, are you ready for this, Uwe von Schaman, who I distinctly remember kicking for the Dolphins when I was a kid. Anybody know where I can find a cheap flight to Norman? I want to be with Uwe!

As you might remember I had a decent experience on Ride the Ducks last year, despite my better judgement. Well, Walt Sherman of Shut the Duck Up has had no such experience. He hates the damn ducks, and he’s trying to do something about it. What’s he trying to do? It’s hard to tell from this video, but it looks certifiably insane.

• No sooner are we done talking about Raising Arizona than Tex Cobb is in a great piece by Phil Sheridan. Turns out that he just earned a degree from Temple. Again, a great piece. Read it if you haven’t already.
• You know how things starting going downhill for Britney when she married K-Fed? Well, I seem to remember Michael Jackson started to jump the sanity shark after his hair caught on fire. Or maybe it was when he became friends with Corey Haim. Of course, if he had actually been singing, he woulda put the flames right out. Science is weird.
• Every once in a while, Philly Mag puts out a damn good issue. The current one is that issue. Restaurant rankings, an article about Larry Brown, and an article by Matthew Teague that really does a good job shining the light on the union situation in Philly. And I’m not gonna pretend like I didn’t read the Alycia Lane article. Speaking of her, D-Mac is reporting that she was making out with Booker on the dance floor of the Grape Street Pub over the weekend. That’s it! It’s over for her and I! I will not date any woman that hangs out in Manyunk!
