The Chicken Whisperer

Uh...

My friend Geb sends this along. I frankly don't have anything appropriate to say about it.

Bill Gates Erotica?

What was Bill Gates thinking when he agreed to this photoshoot way back when? (see the link for "photo"). Be sure to check out the caption contest.

Uh....

From the Drudge Report: Man injured trying to convert lions (LIONS!!?!!?!) to Christianity.

I couldn't agree More

This poncho thing. I simply don't get it. Ladies, it's not attractive.

Fashion crimes, like many other crimes, begin innocently enough. A few influential designers send a quirky and impractical article of clothing down the runway; high-fashion magazines enthusiastically push it; a celebrity is photographed wearing it; lower-end lines begin mass-producing it; suddenly, women are buying it in shrieking colors and synthetic fabrics, and what started as a harmless act of whimsy has become a widespread aesthetic offense. So it has gone with the poncho—that rectangular piece of material resembling a small blanket, with a hole in the center for your head.

And then their's this: "...and in high fashion magazines like Vogue, in which New York socialite Plum Sykes sports a fringed, yellow, off-the-shoulder number, and Bazaar, where a $1,500 Chloe "horse blanket poncho" is deemed one of the season's "must-haves." What are the materials? A really thick piece of material, a fancy label and a box cutter?

I. Don't. Get. It.

Time Waster

If you've worked in IT or watched the industry long enough to viiew any new computing buzzword or phrase with outright disdain, then this is the site for you. Either IT marketing gurus are really full of sh*t or this guy is simply a genius. The Web Bullsh*t Generator. Enjoy!

Uh..........

I'm speechless.

Buddy Bear

"And that's when I first saw the bear."

"He was a Kodiak lookin' fella 'bout 19 feet tall he rambled up over the hill 'spectin' me to do one of two things: flip or fly, I didn't do either one. It hung him up."

SEATTLE, Washington (Reuters) -- A black bear was found passed out at a campground in Washington state recently after guzzling down three dozen cans of a local beer, a campground worker said on Wednesday.

"I said, 'Mr. Bear, you know in the eyes of the Lord, we're both beasts when it comes right down to it. So I want you to be my buddy, 'Buddy Bear.'"

It turns out the bear was a bit of a beer sophisticate. He tried a mass-market Busch beer, but switched to Rainier Beer, a local ale, and stuck with it for his drinking binge.

"I gave him another and another and another 'fore I knew it, he'd downed eight of 'em and commenced to do the "bear dance." Two sniffs, a snort, a fly, a turn and a grunt; and it was so simple like the jitterbug it plumb evaded me."

P.S. - For the uninitiated, go here.

UPDATE: The link I provided above took you to the lyrics of Jimmy Buffett's remake of "God's Own Drunk" which had lyrics rather appropriate to this news article. However, that site seems to have popups galore and flags a Norton antivirus alert. That did not occur when I first linked to it (thanks Tony for pointing that out). I have since corrected the link and sent you somewhere that hopefully will not make your browser go insane. Sorry about that.

Socks with Sandles

If I didn't know better, I'd say this guy is making fun of people wearing socks with sandles (Jesus slippers as mom calls them). Surely, he's not. I mean, sometimes our feet get cold. But, it will, like, warm up during the day. And sandles are easier to put on than tennis shoes. I mean come on.

Honest, I would never buy one of these

Honestly. It will not be on my Amazon.com wishlist. I swear. Really. You got to admit though, it's kind of cool.

World Domination Begins at Noon

The good sports over at the Adeimantus blog tripped across my little corner of cyberspace and decided they liked what they saw. They have made ChickenWhisperer their first featured blog of the week, and did so with WAY too many kind words. Well, as soon as I get a chance (hopefully by this weekend) I'll make a "Friends of Chicken Whisperer" blogroll and link to you guys. The site's top dog e-mailed me and told me of the honor but warned me not to get to excited because their readership isn't that big anyway. Hey, 5 readers of Adeimantus along with my 3 regulars, we're almost at double digits baby!!

All kidding aside, thanks to Adeimantus and please go check out their hilarious and insightful site. Today's letter from Saddam to the Hollywood elite is a riot.
