Now, I can hold a note for a long time...actually I can hold a note forever. But eventually that's just noise. It's the change we're listening for. The note coming after, and the one after that. That's what makes it music.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Yes, thanks Laura, got my airfare, now just deciding where to stay.

Oh, and he and the whole family found the Blago thing horrifyingly hilarious.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Inconceivable! How Could Anyone Misspell That?

In an embarrassing mistake, officials in Massachusetts have been forced to admit that some road signs pointing to Lake Chargoggagoggmanchauggagoggchaubunagungamaugg have spelling mistakes in them.

The typos, which are completely baffling considering how easy it is to spell Lake Chargoggagoggmanchauggagoggchaubunagungamaugg, were revealed by a local newspaper, the Worcester Telegram & Gazette, which has been covering the misspelling scandal since 2003.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Of the ones I've heard of, only Momofuku Ssam Bar is even remotely affordable. Sigh.

“Not dead yet!”

Lewis is convinced the Worst Example of Flash Evah is some sort of political satire. He says it's too bad not to be.

Our wings are not tired.

The creators of that website have a link on the bottom where they have other websites to their credit. Also religious. I didn't click through as I can only take so much fun.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

My vote for most useless use of Flash is this website: [link] I went there when I was trying to get some actual information, and gave up because it was buried so far in bells and whistles. Wait for the intro to end, then click "Explore the Themes," and then mouseover some of the options on the next menu without clicking them.

Hee! I loved that sign when I was a kid. Also, I'm pretty sure it's been known for a while that it's spelled wrong. And I'm pretty sure that the lake got some really boring official name a while ago, like Lake Webster or something.

How...floaty. At least it doesn't assault the ears.
