Brrrrisk!

Another week is coming to a close, and what do I have to show for it? Comcast never showed up, and I’ve hardly left the house. But I’ve been happy. Thanks to my housemates, MetaFilter and Kottke’s Remaindered Links. So, in that order…the husband has been playing music man this week. The other day he was sort of humming a tune. He claimed it was supposed to be a ditty by Doug E. Fresh…some song from the movie CB4. But I swear, his rendition sounded just like the Inspector Gadget theme song, which was then stuck in my head. Go, Gadget, go. The next day the husband, little man and I were quietly hanging out in the computer room…when the silence was broken.
The husband: begins belting out “Blinded by the Light” at random.
The little man: begins wailing “Nooooooooooooooo!”
Very amusing, that. From Metafilter a thread on the strange names of some alcohol products stuck with me. One moniker, Fancy Lawnmower Beer, especially tickled my fancy for some reason. And I don’t even drink. Alcohol, that is. In other, more insidious beverage news…”How do you get teens to crave milk?” Load it with caffeine. Apparently this isn’t *that* new. Before Hyper Cow, there was Raging Cow. Ick to both. And, lastly, found via Kottke…An Ode to Friendster accompanied by The Buttafly Guide to Interpreting Friendster Photos. A little mean-spirited, but highly entertaining.
