Watch enough of this to get the general idea, and then try the cutup version.

Boing Boing: Toothpick Engineering is Dentist’s Hobby (in 1940)

The last few words are clearly the best. Moral of the story: All you aspiring anthropologists had better have a good plan B.

I just like the phrase “anatomically modern humans,” as it implies “anatomically postmodern humans.”

Marc Maron

Nick — Tue, 13 Jun 2006 06:56:10 +0000

It occurs to me that I spend almost no time trying to persuade people to listen to Marc Maron, despite the fact that I consume roughly an hour of Marc Maron show every single weekday, which far outstrips any other first-run media consumption on my part. Not sure what the basis of my affection is; may have something to do with the fact that, normally, progressive/activist humor isn’t very funny (it’s a humorless crowd), but Maron and Jim Earl are very, very funny, without undercutting their message (as with Daily Show, not that I don’t love Daily Show).

Of course, I can only proselytize so hard when Air America wants you to pay money for a podcast (which I actually do, but it’s hard to ask others to do the same without a preexisting loyalty.) I suppose I could try to get people to use the free streaming audio between 10pm and 12pm Pacific, but I have trouble persuading people to use streaming content, since it sucks so hard.

Civilization and the Jews

Hmm. On the one hand, we have “How the Irish Saved Civilization.” On the other, we have, “Civilization…and, uh, those heebs.”

I wager that someday there will be a picture of Andrew remarkably similar to this one.
