Russian culture takes a commanding lead.
Hey Joy Rodd, wasn't it you that thought Asian culture was superior to our own? Well, the score is now even. (Movie link)

Vin Diesel once shot a man in Reno just to watch him die. Then he re-animated that man as a zombie, challenged him to a game of horseshoes, and totally kicked his ass.
Beer League, a pilot TV show about hockey, beer, and hockey and beer. Sign the petition. Canada needs good TV, and eventually some US company will take it over and screw it up good like.

Tender Vickles sent this link to a bunch of us on Friday. If all ads were like this, no one would mind them. I've wathced it about 5 times now. Bizarre but clever, and should be safe for work.

This is the coolest radio-controlled-thing-a-ma-jiggy of all time.
Arghhhh. I agree with the basic idea that local officials, not federal judges, hold the authority to decide what is best for a community. But I disagree entirely that a mall, office complex, hotel, or health club are "public use". These are private developers who've convinced a local goverment to raze some peoples homes for their own gain. So basically, the government of New London can force you to move not just for a highway or a school, but for any reason they want to. Ugly.
Now I really wish I was a 73-year-old Kenyan.
Scientific Football 2005. A very cool article that reminded me that football is a mere two months away.

Here is a report about the same bear that Neal made friends with on Saturday.
Hot Dog Johnnys hits the spot after a good day of fishing. Ummm, birch beer.

You can almost smell an anchorwoman on Swedish TV ripping a fart on camera. Much funnier than it should be.
Here's a list of 50 or so of the best Nintendo games ever. This wouldn't be very interesting, except for the fact that you can play them all online, for free, along with hundreds of other games at Everyvideogame.com You'll need to log in (username:ballbag password:nutsack) to play the games full-screen.
As it turns out, you'll remember how to beat everyone at Mike Tyson's Punch-Out within seconds of hearing the theme song.

Delicious Vietnamese Caramelized Pork
Ingredients
- 6 (1/4 inch thick) boneless pork chops
- 1/3 cup sugar
- 1/4 cup finely chopped shallots
- 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
- 1 tablespoon Asian fish sauce
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Directions
Pound chops with the flat side of a meat pounder until they're 1/8 inch thick. Make some slits around the edges to prevent curling.
Cook sugar in a saucepan over moderate heat, undisturbed until it starts to melt. Continue to cook, stirring occasionally with a wooden spoon, until sugar is melted into a golden caramel. Add shallots, lime juice, fish sauce, and salt (caramel will harden) and cook, stirring constantly, until caramel is dissolved and shallots are softened, about 2 minutes. Pour sauce over pork and toss until well coated.
Heat a lightly oiled pan over moderately high heat, then grill pork in batches, turning over once, until just cooked through, about 1 minute per side.

This game might be more addictive than jewelbox. The trick is to start at the bottom and work your way up.
Be sure to turn off the music, or there's a good chance you'll go insane. And skip the intro, too.

I just applied for a job as the Sponsorship Coordinator for the New York Rangers. If I'm hired, I plan to take the organization down from the inside. If they ever become a respectable organization again, that is.
Well, Swaziland is officially fucked. Figures released last week show that 42.6% of the adult population is infected with either HIV or Aids. For Swazis aged between 25 and 29, the figure is 56%.

Alan and I were going to go to a midget rodeo at some point. But now, after watching this video, I've decided that a midget bull-fight is the way to go.

Cam Neely is in the Hall of Fame. I'm almost positive this wouldn't have happened without Buccigross talking about it for like four years now.
Also, the NHL and the Players' Association have agreed on a salary cap system. Now they just have one more week to iron out the rest of their differences.

Monkeys with money.
For some reason I can't get the link to go directly to the post, but go check Alan's first post from August 8th, 2003.
Right now it's his turn.
Good luck, fool.

I just read an ESPN article about three players whose suspension from the Swedish National Team has been extended until after the 2006 Olympics. Nothing huge here, but the article didn't mention why they were being punished in the first place. I'm pretty sure these were the three guys who were accused of having a 3-on-1 non-consensual fuckfest with some poor girl, right? Way to go, Huselius.

Tug of Peace? Sweet merciful fuckshit.
Devvo is a "Chav". Watch his simultaneously depressing and amusing antics captured on film here. Lots of swearing and drug use, so maybe not safe for work. Also, learn more about chavs at www.chavscum.co.uk.
