140 - Vote

Hacking Democracy

1. Hacking Democracy
If you've voted already today and used an electronic voting machine, watch this documentary to get depressed. This is a full length movie streaming on Google video. If you'd rather download it, try using bit torrent.

Ask A Republican

2. Ask A Republican
May God continue to bless these United States of America

Gambling

3. Gambling
I'm really not sure why gambling is illegal in the first place, and online casinos may not be the most important issue, but the way these sneaky politicians sneak things into bills really angers me. Seriously, what does online poker have to do with port security?

Jack Bauer

4. Jack Bauer
I love Green Acres. Can we have some law about hyper-intelligent pigs?

Toilet Paper

5. Toilet Paper
Although I doubt the veracity of the presidential quotes from "two White House sources," I do not doubt the intensions.

Elmhurst

You can find more about Rachel and her work by visiting her etsy store, or her website.

Sorry the post today is so text free. I'm too tired to do anymore right now, and will be busy in the morning.

End of an Era

1. End of an Era
Union Products Inc, the originator of the plastic pink flamingo lawn ornament, is closing its doors after producing the kitch classic for almost 50 years. They blame the shutdown on terrorism and rising gas prices. For real.

Japanudity

2. Japanudity
Use this Japanese method for removing your clothes just before using the Japanese method of folding them.

Fifth Leg

3. Fifth Leg
A cow growing a leg out of its back is not one of the signs of the apocalypse.

Drive

4. Drive
Probably based on the popularity of Lost and other mysterious puzzle shows, Fox has ordered up a new series from Tim Minear. In case you don't know, Tim Minear was one of the guys behind Firefly, Wonderfalls and The Inside.

Colloquial

5. Colloquial
Answer thirteen questions about the way you pronounce some words, and find out where in the United States you were raised.

Stingo: Dead

1. Stingo: Dead
William Styron, author of the tragic post war novel, Sophie's Choice, died Wednesday at 81. This time it isn't an exaggeration.

Will It Blend?

2. Will It Blend?
Blentec makes a blender that will puree just about anything, ice, Coke cans, glass marbles, etc. Also would probably make a great lamp.

Write a Novel Month

3. Write a Novel Month
I probably should have mentioned this a couple of days ago so you'd have time to prepare something. I also probably should have prepared myself to get working on the book I started a couple of years ago.

No Grunting

4. No Grunting
This (and a complete lack of motivation) is the exact reason why I don't go to the gym.

Star Wars Shortened

Part two, as promised, covering the original trilogy.

Bob Barker: Dead

1. Bob Barker: Dead
No. Not really. I'm just exaggerating a little bit. He is retiring from The Price is Right though.

Post No Bills

2. Post No Bills
From the so-dumb-and-obvious-it-is-kind-of-funny school of comedy comes this street art.

One of the Subtle Rhythms of Life

3. One of the Subtle Rhythms of Life
A surprisingly moving tale about the virtues of cutting your own hair. I've personally only been to the barber once since around 1990, and that was just to fix up some hair experiment that didn't come out so well.

Tanks

4. Tanks
Join a team and waste time by trying to blow the shit of the other teams. Combat it aint.

Star Wars Shortened

5. Star Wars Shortened
Come back tomorrow when I'll link to part two even though you could easily find it yourself if you felt like it.

Reverse Coelacanth

1. Reverse Coelacanth
This report suggests that a "living fossil" was recently found. In actuality, the living animal, a lamprey, is well known already. What was actually discovered was a new fossil proving that the lampreys existed 360 million years ago.

Flip

2. Flip
Get a feel for your real estate business aptitude with a flash based time waster.

Ting Ting Jehe

3. Ting Ting Jehe
My friend, Rachel, brought me some of these ginger chews. I loved them very much (even though my little brother spit his out the car window) and I want 12 bags for the price of 10.

The One Up Downstairs

4. The One Up Downstairs
Featuring members of American Football, Very Secretary, and Owen, The One Up Downstairs recorded this set of songs before breaking up almost 10 years ago. Now you can finally hear these tracks (digital downloads only.) Now if someone could find the rumored Days in December tracks for me...

Vulnerable to Extinction

5. Vulnerable to Extinction
The world's first koala sperm bank. Seriously.
