Let's do a little meme-ing. Music meme-ing, no less. Courtesy of Doug, we have this lovely meme: take the list from the year you graduated from high school then strike the songs you hate, bold the ones you love, and the ones left over are the ones you supposedly couldn't care less about. Okedokey. I graduated in 1989. If you're interested, take the jump.

I'm assuming most people have seen this, but in case you haven't, courtesy of the Huffington Post, we have Robert Kennedy, Jr. who, apparently, is the tackiest man alive.have your cake and read more too!

The marketing department at Blizzard Entertainment is just wishing they'd thought of this campaign. I guarantee it.

Hitch v. Jon Stewart. I'll leave it to you to guess who wins. You won't have to expend a great deal of brain power to figure it out. I promise. Jon Stewart really is a smartish sort of dolt, isn't he? {Hat Tip: INDC Journal}

My kid's blogiversary was yesterday. Go over and wish her a happy belated blogiversary! I'm such a slacker mom.

Sheila would like to wish a very happy 20th birthday to The Breakfast Club. I was in eighth grade when that movie came out, hence I couldn't go to see it, the movie theaters in Omaha being the only place in the whole frickin' world where MPAA ratings are respected and enforced. I remember renting it about a year later, and I vividly remember my mother BLOWING A GASKET when she saw the rating. Of course this was after I'd watched it five times. Heh.have your cake and read more too!

Skippy or Jif? For me, it's Skippy all the way. And not the chunky stuff, either.

So, did anybody else watch Prison Break last night? I can't decide whether this show is overly clever or is actually pretty interesting. I'm still on the fence about it. A few observations:

• So, is Dominic Purcell in hock to FOX, still, for John Doe? I have to think he is, given the number of times he keeps popping up on that network's shows.have your cake and read more too!

JB over at Fraters has posted an interesting little piece:

{...}It is a matter of faith among the left that there is something wrong, if not immoral with Wal-Mart. Much of it stems from a simple elitism that allows them to make high-minded criticisms of a place they consider to be for the proles and the semi-washed.have your cake and read more too!

When Christi, et. al. were here at the end of July, they decided the kids would have a treat for dessert one night and that treat was root beer floats. So, along with about five hundred other things that Christi left in my fridge, there was also leftover vanilla ice cream and sugar free root beer (It was James'). They'd taken the good stuff with them.have your cake and read more too!
