A "Would You Rather" of my own Devising

Say you had a time machine. Would you rather go back in time to tell:

George Washington that cherry tree story, and see how ridiculous he thought it was

or

Albert Einstein that his name would someday commonly be used as a sarcastic way to call someone a moron? Click here to read more . . .

Planet Unicorn Heyyy

I was checking in over at CuteOverload the other day, and it suggested that I watch the following cartoon. (I know it's probably not everybody's cup of tea, but I pretty much love it. Especially the theme song.)

Heyyy.

Summer School Side Effect

I'm taking Latin for Reading Knowledge. Delightfully [sigh], it meets for three hours a day, three days a week. My teacher is an Irishman, and after listening to him for a considerable chunk of time in the morning, I sometimes find myself thinking with an Irish accent.

This phenomenon was at its most interesting when it converged with a song running through my head, "She Thinks My Tractor's Sexy." Click here to read more . . .

Mmm . . . Crossover Goodness

The newest Teen Girl Squad over at homestarrunner.com contains a Weird Al reference. The first person to spot it (and leave me a comment about it--here's hoping people are still reading this blog after my summer hiatus) wins a virtual cookie! Click here to read more . . .

Names

I was reading a post on Go Fug Yourself (as I am wont to do), and felt I recognized the fuggee. I couldn't place her, and so journeyed to IMDB--and I know most people are familiar with IMDB, but I just want to emphasize: it's one of the sites that justifies the very existence of the internet. It's so useful--to find her.

Here's the upshot:

There are two listings for "Kimberly McCullough": Kimberly Anne McCullough, who has been on soap operas, apparently, and whom I remembered from the late, lamented Joan of Arcadia (she was Joan's older brother's ex- and sometimes current girlfriend for those of you wondering); and also, special effects technician Kimberly Chainsaw McCullough.

No offense to my parents, but I totally wish I had a "Chainsaw" instead of an "Anne." Click here to read more . . .

Another Fun Headline

I took a newspaper class in high school, and so I was taught to use my imagination to come up with varied and interesting verbs to use in headlines. I often notice this principle at work in sports headlines, what with all the synonyms they think of for "win" and "lose." Never, though, have I so respected a headline writer as I do the person who thought up:

Hockey gods punish Ottawa as Ducks march on
