• This Sinfest Strip reminds me of my buddy Dave.


• For my music fans - What's that song? (No Doubt version) You can pick your own band and play your own Name that Tune!


• Apparently that Free iPods Schtuff is actually real. Although you have to wade through a bunch of junk and get some kind of service or product from someone. So really, you're still paying for the iPod, it's just a "free with purchase" offer.


• Harry Potter Badgermania!


• The 12 STI's of Christmas - As if we didn't have enough to worrry about already!


• Flavors for the Holidays - favorite recipes from some famous chefs in this article!


• I love this - Kitty says 'Hello' Via Cell Phone.


• Source: Fingerprints of Jackson, Boy on Magazines - I can't help but think, does this really prove anything? Honestly. Other than teenage boys are likely to sneak into adult porn stashes?


• If you are a fan of finding and supporting new indie music, check out WeedShare


• For those into tradition, LJ has its own Advent Calendar!


• Not Your Father's Outsourcing - At this point, if we're going to be outsourcing to our own country (I thought that was called "contracting"), I think it's a bit ridiculous!


• Tom Wolfe Wins Bad Sex Award


• Make FireFox Look Like IE, if that's why you haven't made the switch.


• Finally, I leave you with my SPAM of the Day: "The contents of this email should not be used for colonel skittle" - Ok, if you say so!

And for the Quiz Takers, yes, I am that cheesey about the holidays...

December 10th Virtual Addiction Edition

• Christmas Lights - the Broadband Killer! - I'm glad I have a cable modem!


• Musicians 'Upbeat' About the Net - Just as I suspected.....now we just have to work out logistics.


• You're a Sane, Intelligent Adult. But Have You Made Any of These Crazy Money Moves?


• Your Old Inkjet Printer Could Aid Burn Victims - Interesting, helpful and CREEPY all at once!


• Photo Site a Hit With Bloggers - If it's free, I'm in.


• Dude -- Professor Studies 'Dude' - Excerpt: The four-letter word has many uses: in greetings ("What's up, dude?"); as an exclamation ("Whoa, Dude!"); commiseration ("Dude, I'm so sorry."); to one-up someone ("That's so lame, dude."); as well as agreement, surprise and disgust ("Dude.")."


• Thunderbird 1.0 is a Go! - I must say that I was getting ready to go back to Outlook or something else and then I found this. It's MO BETTAH than Beta Thunderbird. I'm also pretty interested in the Sunbird Calendar Project.


• Pixar's Cars Trailer!


• Pantera's Dimebag Shot Dead RIP


• Make-A-Flake! - mine is flake #5575004 - I am especially amused that there is a disclaimer at the bottom regarding finding "offensive flakes" on the website. Can anyone come up with an offensive one? Working that thingy seemed impossible to me.


• Have you ever asked yourself What Happens When You Can No Longer IM? - the recent incident of AOL Locking Out IM Users might make you ponder these things.


• iTunes Takes PayPal; Free Songs for New Users - Dang! Missed out on that one!


• Financial Resolutions - 5 Tips: Getting Your Financial House in Order for the New Year.


• Keeping Love Connections Open - Online Compatibility in IRL Relationships


• Experts Urge People to Unplug Occasionally - I don't know if any of you have gone through this, but I'm still reeling from recent feelings of Internet Overwhelming. I guess my psyche took me out of the game for a bit on it's own accord.


• Internet Abuse Test - Based on this, I have nothing to worry about. However, based on Internet Addiction Self-Appraisal and Tips for Real-Time Living I do! Contradiction much? Anyhow, I just need to get back into my regular schedule of exercise and I'm sure I'll feel great again.


• As if it's a big surprise, if you need something to talk you into quitting the habit - Smoking is Bad for the Brain.


• Minnesota's "Northwoods" Diet looks like something that I am going to check out. Reasonable, just restructuring diet, not limiting so much. I like it.


• ...and to end this on a fun note, how about a little Hannukah, Outkast Style?

Junk for 12/7

• Publishing Ala Piers Anthony and Preditors and Editors for those aspiring writers out there.


• Got a cough? Try Chocolate! Works for me!


• The Urbz New style Sims.....hahahaha!


• Internet Porn: Worse Than Crack? I don't know about you, but porn is fine and dandy, but seriously, all access all the time makes it a little bit boring anymore....


• Several people I know have been talking about the book He's Just Not That Into You : The No-Excuses Truth to Understanding Guys lately. I think it's something all sexes need to read in all honestly. I'm sure us females have all exhibited the same behavior at some time or another. This is harsh, but frank and liberating as well.


• Worst Cyber Sex Transcripts Evar!


• Turducken - This was supposed to be on my Thanksgiving Junk, but I didn't have time to gitter done. Has anyone HAD THIS? I for one don't want to eat anything that starts off with Turd.


• For your senseless poll of the day, it's Ho Ho's Vs. - Swiss Rolls!! As if those snacks alone aren't enough, check out this recipe for Snail on a Log. Ugh.


• Quote of the Day from Nada O. Nil - You have things you're not happy with and you complain about them (some of you even do that everyday on LJ), but what do you really plan to do about what makes you unhappy? Because unless you have a real course of action, you're really better off shutting the fuck up.
  Unproductive whining scars you for life and one day you will wake up a 68-year-old bitter and graying person, even if you're only 28. Round of applause? I think she deserves it....


• Perverted, God-Hating Frenchies vs. Inbred, Sex-Obsessed Yokels - Why Can't Liberals and Conservatives Get Along? Because They Fundamentally Misunderstand Each Other.
