ZZ Top is a bad thing to hear on the highway.

Especially when it’s temptingly empty.


Legs, ZZ Top

I’ll spare you the ZZ Top / Carmen Electra mashup, which was pretty much what you’d expect, right down to the pole dancing. It’s not that I have anything against pole dancing, per se: it’s just that I’m still trying to figure out how being able to spin around one is supposed to convey the message I am skilled in and eager to demonstrate advanced sexual techniques, which one assumes is the point of the exercise.

And I will point and laugh at anybody who tries to fake decadent amusement at my naivite.  I’m wise to all of your tricks, I am.

’43 stun-gunned at prisons’ Take Your Kids to Work Day’

I can’t believe that this isn’t up on Fark yet: this is why they invented the Florida tag.

43 stun-gunned at prisons’ Take Your Kids to Work Day

TALLAHASSEE — A total of 43 children were directly and indirectly shocked by electric stun guns during simultaneous ”Take Your Sons and Daughters to Work Day” events gone wrong at three state prisons, according to new information provided Friday by the Florida Department of Corrections.

Via Instapundit and AoSHQ: this also reminded me of this Onion video, which is sufficiently lacking in good taste that I’ll just link to it.

Other than that, I got nothing.

The oddly self-defeating nature of top “Your fame is up, now” lists.

On the one hand, I only recognize only five people on this list, which might prove Shot in the Dark’s point. On the other hand, it could just as easily demonstrate that he’s over-estimating their influence. On the gripping hand*, I don’t have cable**.

Because my wife is cheap and I don’t miss it enough to push the issue, that’s why.

No, it’s real. I have no idea what the woman on the sand at the bottom of that website represents, though: unless it’s supposed to represent the feminine company that will swim Lake Michigan to be with you and your newly-epic hair.

PS: There is a critical lack of this on Amazon – or, indeed, non-lame Blago-themed novelty material in general – so you’re just going to have to satisfy yourself with Pay to Play: How Rod Blagojevich Turned Political Corruption Into a National Sideshow.

So to speak.

It’s apparently Star Trek Friday …Wait! Wait! These two are worth it!

As God is my witness, they are. First off, here’s a mashup via At The Point of a Gun*…

…that demonstrates that even Holy Grail can be improved with Star Trek; and then there’s this:

…from… well, I don’t actually know who. It got emailed to me. Go figure.

[UPDATE]: Duh, it was right there on the image. Luke Writes. You Read.

*And check out this video he found, while you’re there.

A Transformer… from archaic-tech robot to WWI-era biplane.

Don’t lie. You want this:

For the ‘kids,’ of course. It’s not available at Amazon, which I find to be a stunningly bad business call; and either Hasbro or I need to have better searching criteria (might be me; no coffee yet).  I suppose that I should find out where David Willis got his.

What? No, I don’t collect action figures.  But it’s a an archaic-tech robot that transforms into a WWI biplane. I’d buy that.
