I don't know if this is really worth the ink, but it is at the intersection of a number of cultural hot spots: I bring you Lolcavore.
I think a reason I don’t like it more is that it misspells “ur”.

Until I saw this Serious eats article, I hadn’t really thought about how horribly calorific those Chipotle burritos are. Plenty of fiber, though.

In the wake of the launch of Sputnik, Henry “Scoop” Jackson (D-WA) proposed a National Week of Shame and Danger. He was doing it to assist the political aspirations of Stuart Symington (D-MO), but I feel that we could get some modern enjoyment out of making a National Week of Shame and Danger an annual observance.

Things one can do to celebrate NWoSaD that are both shameful and dangerous:
Wear flammable pajamas with a hole in the seat
Kitten juggling (sharp claws)
Historic document theft
Fart-lighting
Tease a five-legged scorpion about its disability

This list of upcoming auditions came to my attention when it had descriptions of Dollhouse characters, but it’s really a narrow window into what’s going on in the world of talent.
Today, for instance, it’s possible to see a casting call for DOG SEES GOD: CONFESSIONS OF A TEENAGE BLOCKHEAD, a play I had not heard of. Probably not appearing at a church near you anytime soon.

An ad for coffee (from 1915) with enthusiasm bordering on the overstatement:

At home–en tour–wherever “White House” Coffee is in evidence–its charm lingers in the memory; commands delighted respect and enlists continued interest no other brand can possibly inspire. A veritable aristocrat among coffees, “White House” is an indispensable adjunct at every repast–; and its invigorating companionship banishes ennui like magic and helps to make life more worth while.

Mmmm, banishes ennui! That’s my kind of coffee!

Man finds chicken in egg, uses phrase “fixin’ to” twice in interview.

“American Greetings Corporation (NYSE: AM) is one of the world’s largest manufacturers of social expression products.”

Which is really just birthday cards and stuff, but it could be so much more… futuristic! Like a tablet to help you be appropriately sympathetic.

I ran across danelope through a series of events that don’t really bear posting here, but it seems to be chock full o’ goodness. I owe the blogger a beer for the article about userContent.css alone. No more blank spots on the BBC News site where ads would go for me!

There are a lot of works of art that I would like to be so elegantly crystallized, but for now, here’s Batman.

A very odd story of a guy who defected to North Korea because he was drunk and afraid, and spent decades in the same state in that same state until he was freed to work in a Japanese cookie shop.
