The Daily Ablution spoils David Lynch's TM vibe with David Lynch to Bring World Peace - 'It Could Happen This Year'

It's a well-written piece with an appropriately mocking tone. My only bitch is that he didn't give a link to David Lynch's filmography, which would be helpful to people like me who've never heard this assclown's name before.

eTalkingHead gives Al Gore's stupidity a well-deserved knee in the groin with The misleading statements of a misleading misleader

No complaints here. He makes a single point, makes it forcefully, and stops talking when he's done making it. Good job.

Ruminations in Korea describes a problem - (that despite my having visited this beautiful country, I never knew existed) - of a lack of inter-racial respect amongst the natives with A Blessing and a Curse.

Apparently some Koreans have a bad habit of dissing whitey in loud voices, because they think he doesn't speak the language. Jeff gives some examples of overheard remarks that made for some hurt feelings then, but some funny stories now.

As for the rest of the NBS entries? Not as impressive.

TODAY'S LOVE NOTE

(Introduction)

Long after moments of closeness have passed, a part of you remains with me and warms the places your hands have touched and hastens my heart for your return.

WHAT PAULA SAID: "Thank you! That's so sweet!"

WHAT PAULA THOUGHT: "It's gonna take at least 49 more of these before you see any action."

OK, SO IT MADE ME LOOK

My vote for "spam subject line of the year":

I'm not sure what it has to do with free instant access to hundreds of live nude cams, but I have to admit that they got my attention.

GEORGE LUCAS, REPENT NOW

I remember 1977, standing in a block-long line at my home-town's single screen theater, waiting to see Star Wars. I remember repeating the effort at least half a dozen times that year.

Then came Empire Strikes Back & Return of the Jedi. Great stuff.

And the rumors flew about how Lucas' big vision was for 9 movies. The middle 3, which he just did, 3 prequels, and 3 sequels. I figured I'd be dead before I ever saw them all.

Then Episode 1 one came out, and I wished I'd been right.

Jar-Jar. F-ing Jar-Jar. Damn you George, I've never forgiven you for that floppy-eared goon.

Neither has God.

J of Quibbles & Bits has the scoop on what it's like to have to explain your stupidest mistake to the Almighty in the afterlife:

*************

“Look, George, we have to talk about something,” God said.

“Sure God, what’s on your mind?” George asked.

“Jar-Jar,” came God’s repetitive reply.

“Oh,” George blushed. “I thought it was a good idea at the time!”

“Oh, George,” God sighed, “Hitler thought killing the Jews was a good idea, too. There are just some things you don’t do!”

*************

Go read the whole thing.

SYMBOLS OF LOVE

How do you tell your Bartender you love him? By leaving a friendly "f*** you" in his comments. Yes, there is actually such a thing as a friendly f*** you - it's mostly some kind of weird male-bonding thing.

Now let's say you want to be friendly, however, your are a fragile flower, and even asterisks are to strongly offensive for your delicate sensibilities to type. Thanks to the comments left to this post, I've learned 2 ways to flip a symbolic bird with just a few keyboard strokes:
