Coolest Thing On The Internets Of The DayThis game is awesome. You play a bouncer, and your job is to pummel Kevin Federline into a bloody stump. Not surprisingly, it is a lot of fun. Don't forget to mix in a lot of body shots too.

Heh, regarding this "Customer Satisfaction" stuff: "I can't get no, sat, iss, fac, shun. But I try, and I try, and I try, and I try."

I'm almost afraid to ask you to define, "totally lost it."

OK, I'm not. annika, what do you mean by, "totally lost it?" Because I got a funny feeling we're not thinking the same thing.

lol, "lost it," meaning "cracked up!" not control of the bowels.

Revenge Of The Short Bus Kids
I found a really mindless game that is strangely therapeutic for a Friday afternoon. It's called Short Bus Rampage. The game sets up like this:
Tired of being ridiculed by the other students, you and the rest of the Special Ed class have taken control of the bus and are out for revenge.
I know a game like this might hit a little too close to home for some of my visitors. But the rest of you should give it a try. The sound effects are really funny.

Mini Moonbat Robot
I realize this is old, but today's Coolest Thing On The Internets Of The Day is Sean Gleeson's Autorantic Virtual Moonbat.
He's automated, he's progressive, and he fits on your sidebar.
Actually, this robot is a very accurate portrayal. There's a dude who stands outside the Van Nuys Courthouse and rants incoherently, but sounds exactly like this robot.
Sean designed a chat machine too. It must be channelling Robert MacLelland's spirit, or spit, or something.
Someone should create a computerized voice version. Air America could save a fortune by replacing their on-air personalities with robots. I wonder if anyone would notice. They'd probably just think it was Al Gore.

Hey, if us "Moonbats" had it our way 2500 good, decent people would still be alive. But, you would be out of a job; celebrating their every death. Another member of the sick right.

Amazing, Tongue! That output is spot on.
Wait a minute....you weren't using the A.V.M. were you?

Tongue,
Did you skip 8th grade English?
I enjoyed the semi-colon strategically placed amongst your string of sentence fragments.
I do apologize, though, for picking on you. It probably wasn't easy having to take the little yellow bus to school.

How could Annika be out of a job; celebrating their deaths: if they were still alive?
And how many lives have spareded the cruel fate of Saddam's "containment"? Not to mention al Qaeda's?
"If I let you kill me, would we have peace?"
"um... Yeah, sure..."

And Saddam would still be murdering his own people at approx 20,000/yr clip. Yep, you're all about the human suffering you are.

Annika,
I was enthralled for the first third, felt my lids sinking a bit as we passed the mid point, revived by the heart pounding chase and crisis resolution and pissed off that the trailer I saw the other day gave too much away.

Friday History Lesson For Y'all
I can attest to the accuracy of the video below, because I have a bunch of history degrees. It's the shit they don't tell you in school.
(It reminds me a lot of this famous site, which is also really funny.)
1
They left out too much! Why didn't they talk about when Washington went into Hitler's bunker at the end of the war and kicked lil Adolf's ass all over the place? Suicide, my ass! He was beat down and left for dead by a 7'5" George Washington, Killing Machine.
And didn't ya know that Washington originally raised the flag on Iwo Jima? He so touched the hearts of the American fighting man that other Marines reenacted what he did, just so they could claim a small piece of ole George's aura.
And screw the atom bomb! FDR told Hirohito that George was gonna be in the first wave hitting the beach when we invaded Japan. That's why they surrendered!
-------
Hehe... "Chuck Norris is currently suing NBC, claiming Law and Order are trademarked names for his left and right legs." Brilliant!

Do the creator's of this little diddy hear voices in their heads at night? They need to invest in some tinfoil.
Most Horrible Thing On The Internets EverVictor sent me a link to the most horrible thing I've ever seen on the internets. This is way worse than the drunk dog fucking video, which at least was funny. No, this one is so horrible I almost want to cancel my internet service and never go online again. Cuz if that's what the internets have come to, if that's the kind of awfulness we are now able to witness at the click of a button -- I mean the kind of stuff that should have been burned, buried and forgotten, never to see the light of day ever again, where it will damage the eyes and ears and brains of millions of innocent unsuspecting people -- well then I think this whole internets thing has gone too far.
If you dare, click on this YouTube link. But I must warn you, It is shockingly baaad, and even Victor admitted that he was physically unable to watch the entire thing. I did, and I will forever be sorry.

Awesome.
I haven't been this turned on since I saw goatse man and tub girl.
I'll be sure to save this one for those lonely nights.....

Did you save this especially for poetry day? Cuz that is genius man.
By the way, I think I wore that tux to prom that year.....except it was powder blue, of course.

I tried to watch that twice today, and I couldn't make it all the way through either time. When the second Shatner shows up, my mind recoils in horror. Oh, the humanity!

Absolutely! What they don't show in the video is Bernie Taupin attempting to hang himself backstage.

Well, it's not at the level of Stewie's rendition, but still, I liked it. The man is seriously underrated as an artist.

KG, I think you misspelled "undertalented." But thank you for the hint about Stewie's version, which can be found here.

I get that there are many important things to take from this video, but am I the only one who noticed that he wasn't inhaling from the cigarette? He was CLEARLY faking it -- all the smoke came out the second he opened his mouth.
What a wuss. If you can't smoke, don't fucking pretend you're smoking.

I see this as a parody to poetry reading beatniks, though he is a tad too self-effacing.
Notice the barely contained smirks at the end "And I think its going to be a long, long time."
To balance this spoof out, see if you can view the Twilight Zone that featured Shat as a mental patient coming home on a plane, who witnesses something going on with one of the engines...

Love it or hate it I suppose. It's self parody of a sort that only people with a collosal ego seem to pull off effectively.

Coolest Thing On The Internets Of The Day, Really
Now this is a special one. Pandora.com is a site that recommends songs based on objective similarities to the songs you input.
[W]e set out to capture the essence of music at the most fundamental level. We ended up assembling literally hundreds of musical attributes or "genes" into a very large Music Genome. Taken together these genes capture the unique and magical musical identity of a song - everything from melody, harmony and rhythm, to instrumentation, orchestration, arrangement, lyrics, and of course the rich world of singing and vocal harmony. It's not about what a band looks like, or what genre they supposedly belong to, or about who buys their records - it's about what each individual song sounds like.
It seems a much more scientific than other internet "radio" sites that play songs based on broader categories or the buying habits of similar users whose tastes usually aren't that similar to mine.
I thought I'd try to stump it by entering the name of my favorite new musical discovery, April Verch. But the program passed my test with flying colors. Give it a whirl.

I've been using Pandora at work for awhile now, and I've created a pretty good disco station (no, that's not an oxymoron). I think it makes money by trying to play newer music for you, in an effort to get you to buy either the iTune or the album from Amazon.
I admit, though, because I'm rather particular about my disco, I'm probably getting the same 40 songs or so over and over again.

Yeah, it's pretty cool. So far it's mostly suggesting bands with which I was already familiar, but at least it's suggesting some unfamiliar songs by those bands.
Posted by: Matt at June 07, 2006 07:38 AM (10G2T)

That's really cool...I have been longing for something that can do that. It works really well too. Sure beats surfing Myspace or the web on your own...
6
We're glad you're enjoying Pandora!! Thanks for the praise, Annika!
Just one thing. Victor, we definitely don't play any songs in the hopes that you'll buy them, and we don't try to play newer songs. Your station is based purely on your inputs and their musicological matches. Sure, we'd love to make money some day, but the most important thing is the music. Pandora will never play you music that anyone but YOU specifies.
Also, if you are getting bored with your stations, just add a little more music to them! In no time, the songs that play will be more diverse. There's lots of tips on the blog and the FAQ too, if you're interested.
Thanks, guys!

Annika,
I wish I could find the tape but it was lost in the fire. We used to do the same thing in Washington Square Park. We dressed up as Jerry Rubin, Abbie Hoffman, Tom HAyden, Allen Ginsberg (who should be featured soon on PW)Mark Rudd, Huey Newton, WIlliam Kunstler, Tim Leary, Angela Davis, Fred HAmpton and many many others to re-inacted famous police riots, tear gassings at peace demonstrations and Police assinations of the 60's.
The Days of Rage in CHicago 1968, the murder of Fred Hampton in '69, the Kent State murders in '68, the national guard invading the U of WIsconsin in '67, Columbia University take over, the trial of the Chicago 7, and so many other wonderful examples of America' first Amendment rights in action. You girl, are too young to remember these glorious events but thanks to the perseverance of the research staff at QueTell records and the freedom of information act a two DVD set will be available soon for several equal payments of 29.99 plus shipping and handling.
See the crack Chicago Swat team pump 99 shots into Fred's little wood house shooting him while he slep and then watch as they tear it down to hide the evidence, watch as the guardsman in Ohio fall daringly to a prone position and fire off rounds at college kids without guns. Its all here for one low price and many monthly payments of 29.99. Hope to be sending you one soon!

Remembering Vietnam
Country musicians Big & Rich pay tribute to the sacrifices of our Vietnam heroes in the song and video, "8th of November." It's very touching and well done. See it at Tammy's blog.

The secret life of Spock... What would have really made that is if he had "accidentally" shown us some BDSM room in his home. LOL We always knew Spock was weird! Could it tell it by those strange and creepy, pointy ears.

Hello Annika,
My parents eat at the Kosher Nosh at least once a week with their friends. Bergen county is my childhood stomping grounds and my parents, 96 and 94 years old, still live in the house where I grew up a few miles from this resturant.
Thanks for the heads up about the anniversary. Maybe I'll stop by for some nice fresh chopped liver and onion on a hard roll.

Thanks for that, Annika, and for the warning first, too.
"D-Day and Pearl Harbor imagery, plus suitably somber music, are like friggin' kryptonite to me."
In the interests of full attribution, the music is from James Horner's score for Glory. Couldn't be more appropriate.
