Roddy Rod’s Appointment
(pic via blog.wmfu.org and the unblinking ear)
I get most of my political info from Maria, and this is no different. A lot of people purchase plots before they die, but Illinois’ newest senator apparently already has his gravestone erected there with all of his achievements. I’m sure that being the first African-American to be a SIU exchange student to the University of Hamburg Germany is great, but probably not gravestone great. I don’t know how this will affect him being a senator, but… another job well done, Rod. -
Let’s go out to the lobby and have ourselves a treat.
I found a pretty funny article (and by found I mean religiously read this site) about how some of the best movies of all time almost became the next (insert reference to blockbuster bomb here, i.e. Pluto Nash, The Day The Earth Stood Still, and any Kevin Costner movie after Robin Hood). Well any way I think I used up my parenthesis quota for the day so check out the article.

NSFW or SFW?
I took a while to figure out what NSFW meant. It took accidentally watching a few videos that were Not Safe For Work to realize how important those warnings were.  I think this still a little racy, but still funny. Check it out here. Via BerkeleyPlace.
