Michael Jackson's stuff...now for sale!

So Michael Jackson is auctioning off his stuff, and you can find what he's selling and even bid on them here.

He's quite the collector of strange things, although he does also have his awesomely geeky pursuits thrown in too (comic books, Star Wars).

Hooray Beer!

Well, one good thing might come out of the recession. The repeal of Blue Laws prohibiting alcohol sales on Sunday.

Greatest. Concert. Ever.



Several of us went to the Jonathan Coulton w/ Paul and Storm show last night. I've made posts about JoCo in the past but none about Paul and Storm per se. Both JoCo and Paul & Storm are alumni of Song Fu and both put on one of the best shows I have been to in a long time. Go see one or both of them next time they come through if you enjoy music that is both fun, funny, and performed by guys in jeans and Homestar Runner t-shirts that sound as good live as on CD.

Enthusiastic Arrr!

As promised to those at the concert, a link to songs for the Song Fu challenge done in the style of their opponent.

JoCo (in the style of Paul & Storm) - Big Dick Farts a Polka
Paul and Storm (in the style of JoCo) - Live

Oscars done differently

So the Onion AV club posted an article about who would win the Oscars if the voters were all the fans at the Celebrity Nude Database. Pretty funny.

And as an added bonus you can scroll down to the user comments after the story for a debate about the proper nickname for female genitalia.
