Things that make me laugh, or that I think will make others laugh.
So…anyone know why, on the new Google Local search, when you do a search for “porn” and your zip code, you get a bunch of results for lawyers?

iTunes: “Last of the Spiddyocks” by Digable Planets from the album Reachin’ (A New Refutation of Time and Space) (1993, 4:27).
And I thought I got creative with my Legos…
Hidden in a miniature Washington, D.C., at Legoland California, among thousands of characters living frozen lives, a businessman moons a presidential motorcade.
Nearby, in a Lego replica of New York City, a man does his laundry in the nude. And at a New England harbor, beneath an overturned rowboat, two pairs of legs tangle suggestively.
Such adult-themed vignettes, played out in tiny plastic bricks, are a secret diversion at the Carlsbad theme park, where “master builders” make a sport of putting risque scenes into G-rated landscapes.
Tab A into slot B, indeed.
iTunes: “Ride the Bullet (1991)” by Army of Lovers from the album Army of Lovers (1991, 3:45).
While on lunch, I saw a license place with the combination 404 PDF.
I guess that’s the code Cirque du Soleil would use when they can’t find one of their performers?
Kirsten pointed out the Book Quiz — another of the many online personality tests, this one purporting to link your psyche to a novel.
My results?

Considered by most to be depraved and immoral, you are obsessed with sex. What really tantalizes you is that which deviates from societal standards in every way, though you admit that this probably isn’t the best and you’re not sure what causes this desire. Nonetheless, you’ve done some pretty nefarious things in your life, and probably gotten caught for them. The names have been changed, but the problems are real. Please stay away from children.
Take the Book Quiz at the Blue Pyramid.
Oh my.
[Ahem.]
This amused me: according to an Esquire poll, 45% of women would let their partner have sex with Nicole Kidman. I wonder what Nicole thinks of this?

iTunes: “New” by No Doubt from the album Go (1999, 4:13).
Some jaw-droppingly impressive Photoshop re-creations of Gary Larson’s Far Side comic strips.

iTunes: “Dig Ophelia” by Rasputina from the album Thanks for the Ether (1996, 2:59).
Two LiveJournals have popped up to keep us informed of what’s really going on on Mars, without being filtered through the publicists at NASA.
First, Spirit Rover…

squee!
I got to drive today! It’s so cool! I didn’t think I’d ever be allowed to go out on my own. NASA is so protective sometimes; it’s like they wanted to keep me swaddled in airbags forever. But anyways, I keep finding these round pebbly things. They get stuck in my treads. Do you think they’ll leave a mark? OMG what if Stardust saw me like this? No, it’s cool. It’s not like he’d ever come by this planet again…
Spirit is still “sick.” She swears she’s gonna drive to that crater any time now, though. She just wants to do it on her time and not when NASA orders her to. Like, whatever. Don’t tell anyone but sometimes I miss her.
Personally, I think this stuff is brilliant.

I don’t think I’ll be able to get away with it at work, but afterwards… :-D

iTunes: “Schiff Ahoi” by Totenmond from the album Cold Hands Seduction IV (3:55).
I got a good laugh when Kirsten posted this, and I finally remembered to mention it here.
Laura Bush recently expressed her “shock” over the gay marriage issue. In this Salon article she goes on to talk about sex education, mentioning that abstinence is “100 percent fail-safe.”
This raised Kirsten’s eyebrows, apparently…
And it suddenly occurred to me that this was just a little off…I mean – the Bushes are hardcore christians, right?
That abstinence bit worked REAL well for Mary and Joseph, didn’t it? It’s 100% fail-safe, after all.
iTunes: “Perfect Tan (Bikini Atoll)” by Machines of Loving Grace from the album Concentration (1993, 3:21).
According to the Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents, in 2002…
