the people that brought you the study of the hungry man microwaveable heart attack breakfast are back with a less than flattering look at the mcgriddle. the pictures really take away any passing curiosity i had in this crazy thing.

hmmm, maybe drinking tons of red bull while dancing isn't such a good idea.

hold on to your horses, folks, this upcoming election is gonna get nastaaaay.

friday time waster alert: come out to brooklyn and play hipser bingo.

in less fortunate news, nike is buying converse, which is a bit of a double edged sword. on one hand, at least it'll be easier to get your hands on a pair of one stars, which i consider to be the sassiest darn shoes ever designed. on the other hand, get ready for the star-studded marketing blitz.

oh my fucking god, people, check this out! i mean, this is not even remotely close to confirmation of a reunion tour, but still, legend had it that kim and frank absolutely hated each other after the break-up. now they're jamming together? color me surprised!

some new ben folds news. these eps sound pretty cool. i'd like to hear his take on "in between days", and i hope one of the later releases includes his take on liz phair's "chopsticks", which is just hilarious.

speaking of liz phair, has anyone in the history of music made such a stir by putting out a crappy single as she has? the new album has been unanimously slagged by the critics and every interviewer seems to demand an answer as to why she's decided to become the 35 year old avril lavigne. this has all apparently been a bit too much for her, as she's lashed out at a poor review in the new york times by likening the journalist to chicken little. you can be a star, liz, just don't put out sucky songs!

vote for the sexiest vegetarian alive! why am i not on this list?

please welcome two blogs new to the wbsg cavalcade of stars; hektik's journal (don't believe anything he says about me) and why pigeons annoy me (check out the homestarrunner techno and trogdor links!)

do you like sigur ros? do you spend your days wishing you could conduct four horses to create your own post-rock masterpiece? well look no further, my friend, your web distraction of the day is here!!!! (link has been fixed if it didn't work the last time you tried)
