Oy! How About Some Brains, Mate?

Sounds like a great premise for a movie: Australian zombie dogs!

Step to the Lord

I wanted to believe this site was a joke, but I don't think it is. Which makes it funnier.

Ann Arbor Photo of the Week

Dumpster behind the Fleetwood Diner, Ashley Street. I wish I could think of something clever to say about it, but I can't. Feel free to insert your own in the comments box.

Sleep Would Be Nice, But...

Current experiment: Seeing how many days a human being can go without eating a proper meal or getting a proper night's sleep. Mind you, it's an involuntary experiment, but one which the shell of my former self is determined to perform in preparation for his new career as an alcoholic.

Anguish: The Real Thing

June 24, 2005 (or more accurately, April 16), approximately 9:00 PDT: The White Whale wins, permanently this time. I am destroyed.

Tomorrow Is the Day I Thought Would Never Come

I cast off again in search of my White Whale.

Did I Say That, or Did John Updike?

Here's a weird but amusing article from last week's Onion. All I can say about it is, "He skates saucily over great tracts of confessed ignorance." Wait, maybe that was Updike, too.

Just What Ann Arbor Needs

Yet more overpriced yuppie lofts! Well, I guess we need somewhere to house people like this.

Ann Arbor Photo of the Three Weeks

Here's part of a crazy-ass mural somewhere in the South U area. I think it's either a graphically devastating critique of consumerism, or else the symbolic representation of one woman's strong desire to not have a Michelob. If the latter, I can't say as I blame her.

Stupid Beer News

Yet another bear is unimpressed with lousy beer.

This could be one way to get more Irish to become Catholic priests.

And be careful when passing out drunk on the hood of your broken-down truck.

MADD vs. Lousiana

So it looks like MADD is taking aim at the state of Lousiana's insufficiently paternalistic attitude toward alcohol and its consumption.

"At some point Louisiana needs to take a stand" and pass "some safe, reasonable and passionate legislation on alcohol," Dewey said.

Uhhh... what?

Hey, Fat Kids

First, Cookie Monster went on a diet. Now, Ronald McDonald is into exercise. What's next, the Cheeseburglar is going to become the Tofurglar?

(Thanks to Steve for the McRon link.)

Zombies, Man, Zombies

You haven't lived until you've heard Dennis Hopper say, "Zombies, man. They creep me out."

Fortunately, you can hear and see that in this double-secret elite hardcore k-rad online trailer for the upcoming "Land of the Dead."
