RISING TRENDS: The Election

Who are you going to vote for??? 

I don't know about you guys, but I'm putting G-Dubs as a write-in. Threepeat!!!

CULTURE: Some Good Art

I'm really into this sculpture by Martin Kippenberger. I think maybe he was inspired by this:

I don't know, just thinking out loud.

OP-ED: H&G Gets Deep

What happens to your facebook when you die? What happens to you when your facebook dies? We're all searching for answers. Maybe you should try searching the Goog to find out.

TIME TRAVEL: "A Night To Remember"

I recently rediscovered this amazing video when browsing my "favorites" on youtube. I have no idea how I found it, but it needs to be shared with the world.

EDUCATION: Your Burning Questions Answered

I'm sure that, like me, ever since you licked the lid of your first pack of Jell-o chocolate pudding you've wondered: "Could I swim in this? Is such an outlandish fantasy possible?" Well today, Yahoo's Answers gets to the bottom of this hot issue. Status? Resolved.

It is Loofah Boy who first poses the question to the group:

Could you swim in chocolate pudding?

Would it keep you afloat?

Then GentleRoger steps up to the plate. 

I guess that the Rog knows what he's talking about because Loofah Boy picked this as the best answer. But who knows, maybe L.B. just wanted to get invited to that Jell-o Pool Party because female super models would be there.

To provide fair, unbiased journalism we have reviewed the "other answers" so you don't have to rely on Loofah Boy to choose the best one. 

There's a lot of talk about boring stuff like density and science but at last some logic presents itself.

Captain Crunch: "Depends on how thick and delicious it is. If it's good pudding then you will drown."

Swimmer Girl: "I probably could, but then get really fat eating it up." 

g man w: "i think that you would sink like a stone and drown. really. cheers!"

iFly777: "eww why would you want to?"

Yahoo says "case closed" but I'm not ready to accept the verdict just yet. There are still so many questions unanswered. Can you snorkel in chocolate pudding? What if the pudding is vanilla flavor? I guess the world will never know.

TRUE STORY: A Sign I Saw

Southampton is so edgy.

OP-ED: Why Cats?

The recent-but-now-faded-in-amusement invention of "lolcats" has skyrocketed kittens to demi-god status, but do our fuzzy friends deserve it? My question for the world today is "why?". Why cats? Surely there are other animals out there trying to break into the comedy scene. For instance long time kitty foe, D-O-G. They've certainly had a rocky past together,

but dogs have been hard at work on their PR lately. They're taking after their feline friends and trying for a lighter, more LOL personality.

Why can't dogs be funny?

Why can't we just all get along?
