The Day the Earth Stood Still is on right now. One of my all time favorites, and the first movie to use the phrase 'Klaatu Barada Nicto'. Do you know what the second was?
Ready for some great flash animation? An official Huffington production. Priceless!
Also, this from one of the lesser known California candidates. Does the name Abner Zurd mean anything to you? Thanks to Jockularocracy for the pointers to both of these.
Incommunicado is handing out a new sportscaster award. McCarvers, for inane and stupid commentary.
Laugh therapy, from Across the Atlantic.
Staying in the humorous vein, Mr. Helpful has a new series, Adventures of Bionic Dick.
This one made me laugh! Good one John. Maybe now my boss will see my point...
Cherry has an excellent explanation of moon orbit dynamics and the end of the dinosaurs.
Jon over at Q and O notes that Hillary gets her first international endorsement to be US President.
Paul writes a touching story about a town, a boy, and a mailbox. Keep the tissues handy.
I read Serenity every day, but Serenity is to serene like I am to terse.
Tasberry is an edgy slice-of-life blogger. She's also donated a pic of her self-described 'choco-rockets' to the boobie-thon, as well as some cash. Have you?
Meanwhile, Tiger holds a little contest of his own alongside the boobie-thon. The winner? The -thon, now $60 richer thanks to Tiger.
Tink fantasizes about straight single massage therapists, but settles for hot Krispy Kreme donuts. From a hetero point of view, I think she made the right choice.
You know when Pixy starts talking computer-tech and tosses around acronyms and terms that nobody understands? Well, Nic does the same thing about grammer. She must grind her teeth when she reads my blog, because for me 'creative writing' means I take liberties with words, spelling, grammer and everything else. Victor, if she wakes up screaming with nightmares, she's dreaming of me. Hah!
Are you a hockey fan? So are these guys... which reminds me. I need to check my fantasy hockey roster.
Update: draft not held yet.
Flea talks about the Chesapeake Mill. There is a restoration project underway to save this historic British building built from the timbers of the American Frigate Chesapeak, captured during the War of 1812.
Wind Rider bids a fond farewell to the Concorde.
Wanna beat on something? How about Ken Brashears virtual drum kit? Have fun! Kudos to the Ministry of Minor Perfidy for this one.
Look for a special photo caption contest tomorrow. Kevin of Wizbang did it firstest and bestest, but you'll want to check this one out.
Posted by Ted at October 3, 2003 09:05 PM | TrackBackActually, I only donated $50. Contestant #2 didn't get the required 5 votes so I was only required, by my pledge, to donate $40. I ponied up an extra $10 as consolation for Contestant #2's participation. If I hadn't done so, I couldn't have gotten the key to the bare boobie page. ;)
