Steady Diet of Something: Fugazi to release hundreds of live shows online! via @popcandy
20 Yard Swim – 2 Mile Bike – 20.5 Minute Nap: “Triathlon” used to be an impressive term. Now there are numerous pared down versions, many you can do during your lunch hour.
Rare: Bill Murray Interview
Worth The Money: Call me a Luddite or just a die-hard fan of the lost arts, but I refuse to use any sort of electrified contraption to put a fine point on my beloved No. 2s. I only use Artisanal Pencil Sharpening:
100% Unwatchable: George Lopez makes Arsenio Hall look like Dick Cavett. Best of luck with this dreadful lead in, Conan.
Lots o’ LOLing: The Latest Comedy Death-Ray with Andy Richter, Matt Besser (and his English podcasting friend) and a special phone call with “Danny Glover The Actor” (sounds a bit like @PFTompkins?) is gold. Pure comedy gold.
Doing Some Curls: When I curl up the toothpaste tube to get the last drop I feel thrifty and smart. When I curl up the bag inside the box of wine for the same reason, I don’t feel as proud.
Flash Opera: There’s always a lot of fat people in Philly’s Reading Terminal Market, at least these guys have nice voices:
I Just Cannot Grasp This: Smashmouth in concert? Really? I need to see the people who are going. I bet the band hands out little inflatable guitars and plastic neon sunglasses to the audience.
This Will Help: Whenever you do something really really embarrassing, just remember: Jada Pinkett Smith is the singer for a nu metal band.
A Word from Our Sponsor: Get the AbCoaster now for 6 easy payments of $49.95! Or just wait 2 months and get it at your neighbor’s yard sale for $35.
Here’s My Bank Account Number and House Key Too: Facebook wants to help me find friends. They want my email & password. I’m in, solely based on the trust they’ve earned with me over the years.
She Keeps Making Movies and You Can’t Stop It: I liked the movie The Bounty Hunter up until the part when the guy lets Jennifer Aniston out of the trunk. Her movies usually tank, yet she has four movies coming out in 2011 and eight more in production!
