Gary has posted the second in his series of Traffic Art. This time, he claims the graph of his traffic shows “a white supremacist and his attack dog standing on some rocky ground.” Um, sure it does, Gary. And rotated 90° widdershins, it’s Flipper after he got his nose stuck in a pencil sharpener and had his chin cleft surgically deepened. [Tags: GaryTurner humor]

My friend w came back from Halloween festivities a year or so ago and found this msg on her Panasonic microwave.
She says there is no “child’s portion” setting.
Odd. [Tags: odd]

[The following is from the latest issue of my (free) newsletter, JOHO:]
Bogus Contest: Internet MadLibs
At the Emmy’s, Jon Stewart apparently dubbed in network-acceptable words to passages they have found too hot (= interesting, real) to allow on air. This suggests a type of Internet MadLibs. Can you improve on the following famous Internet quotes?
Information just wants to _____ – John Perry Barlow
The network ___ the computer – Scott McNealy
The future is already here. It’s just not ______ – William Gibson
…I took _____ in creating the Internet – Al Gore (See here for the actual quote in context.)
“The Net interprets censorship as damage and ________.” John Gilmore
On the Internet no one ____ you’re a ____ – Peter Steiner
As always, all entries will be routed around as if they were damage…unless we can ascertain that they came from a genuine dog.
(Feel free to post responses in the comments section.) [Tags: contest]

As so many predicted, my summer fling with a goatee and moustache has, with the changing of the leaves, ended. We have, rather fashionably, annulled the relationship.
It was just too high maintenance, requiring near-constant tugging and twisting, especially the delicious little bits on the border with the shaved areas. You know who you are. Um, were. I couldn’t maintain my beard and write my blog. It really came down to that.
And while I was in having my goatee and moustache removed, I had them further weaken my chin and, what the heck, add some more moles.
BTW, I expect to get over the pathetic habit of stroking my chin where my goatee used to be by the time the spring rains come.

Wimp.com has a mockumentary (by Otis Productions) about the person who writes the Bushisms. It stars Andy Dick and I think it’s funny. [Tags: GeorgeBush humor]

The Reuters photo of President Bush scribbling a note to Condi in the UN asking for a bathroom break is just the first.
Here are the other notes they caught on film.
Please feel free to contribute your own cheap shots.
It turns out that the person who took the photo didn’t know what it said until Reuters enlarged it.
