<p><strong>Segway</strong> will offer a <a  href="http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/business/7987301.stm" target="_blank">sit-down, two-seater</a> in 2012.  Now you can look silly with a friend.</p>
<p>While <strong>&#8220;The State&#8221;</strong> is still not available on DVD, you can watch the first five episodes on <a  href="http://www.mtv.com/ontv/dyn/the_state/videos.jhtml" target="_blank">MTV Online</a>.  When will we see Doug, Louie, Capt. Monterey Jack and <a  href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c9GNmqLnUq0" target="_blank">Bologna Sandwich Feet</a> on DVD? <a  href="http://www.joelotruglio.com/blog/archives/44" target="_blank">Joe Lo Truglio says</a> it&#8217;s happening July 14.

<p>You can fill your apartment with <strong>human-scale wax figures</strong> that look nothing like <a  href="http://popbytes.com/photos.php?image_url=http%3A%2F%2Fpopbytes.com%2Fautoimg%2Fspl91624_010.jpg&#038;image_width=760&#038;image_height=1140&#038;alt_attribute=paul%20mccartney&#038;title_attribute=paul%20mccartney" target="_blank">The Beatles</a> or <a  href="http://popbytes.com/photos.php?image_url=http%3A%2F%2Fpopbytes.com%2Fautoimg%2Fspl91624_016.jpg&#038;image_width=760&#038;image_height=934&#038;alt_attribute=kate%20winslet&#038;title_attribute=kate%20winslet" target="_blank">Kate Winslet</a>?</p>
<p><strong>CBGB&#8217;s</strong> is gone, but you can still <a  href="http://www.bravadousa.com/cbgb/pano/pano.html" target="_blank">take a virtual tour</a> and feel virtually grossed out.</p>
<p>Many websites divide the articles, even short ones, into multiple pages to <strong>increase the page view stats</strong>. (Boo! That&#8217;s a lot of extra clicking to print a single post for my bathroom visit.)</p>
<p>Lisa Whelchel (<strong>TV&#8217;s Blair Warner</strong>) hasn&#8217;t updated her blog since <a  href="http://www.lisawhelchel.com/journal/archives/2007_08_16.html">August 16, 2007</a>? Is Cousin Jeri available?</p>

<p>Not all <strong>name tags</strong> <a  href="http://www.thinkgeek.com/tshirts-apparel/unisex/popculture/9f70/" target="_blank">are lame</a>.</p>
<p>In the movie<strong> &#8220;Heathers,&#8221; </strong>actress Kim Walker died of a brain tumor in 2001. Her character, Heather Chandler, says the line, “Did you have a brain tumor for breakfast?” The year before, Jeremy Applegate, who played Peter Dawson, killed himself. In the movie, his character declares that he will never kill himself. <a  href="http://www.neatorama.com/2009/04/07/movie-trivia-heathers-whats-your-damage/" target="_blank">More &#8220;Heathers&#8221; Trivia</a></p>

<p><strong>Jandek</strong> is <a  href="http://www.youtube.com/watch%3Fv%3DacLwiYpSTFE" target="_blank">quite thin</a>.</p>
<p>A <strong>Cookie Monster cupcake</strong> is <a  href="http://www.buzzfeed.com/expresident/cookie-monster-cupcake" target="_blank">a fabulous idea</a>.</p>
