Friday, April 2nd, 2010Friday Links
Friday, March 5th, 2010Some are saying the internet is in a slump right now, and it’s true that the last few weeks have been below the high standards the web has set. Maybe it’s time to admit that February 2003, also known as the BEST MONTH EVER for the internet is not coming back. Let’s just enjoy what we have and move on…

Friday Links
Friday, February 5th, 2010Today is this blog’s 50th anniversary. Happy Birthday Blog! It honor of that, here is the first joke that kicked off this blog’s life (though, keep in mind, in 1960 when it first appeared, few people read it since the blog was relatively new and home computers hadn’t even been invented yet!):
It looks like Joanne Woodward is up to her old tricks again. After getting the first star on the Hollywood walk of fame, she reportedly said to the press, “Now I’ll have more guys walking on me than Myrna Loy at a UNESCO convention.”
Amazingly, the humor still stands up. Now for some links:
-
Can anyone win the Super Bowl?

(I’m not sure we’d notice the difference)

Friday Links: Aziz Edition
Friday, January 22nd, 2010Is Aziz Ansari the funniest Minor TV Celebrity working today? No, that title goes to John Hodgman, who pretty much invented the category of minor TV celebrity.
Is he the funniest Indian American on TV today? My friend Ari is actually from India and he’s pretty funny, but he’s also not on TV as far as I know, so then yes, he is.
In any case, whatever he is, he’s pretty funny and with his new comedy special out, he’s all over the place now. Could this minor TV celebrity be making the transformation to major TV celebrity?
Probably not. He’s too short and he has a beard and he’s some race that’s not white or black. We don’t do undersized, unshaved, nuanced racial politics very well in this country (see Margaret Cho). Still, he’s funny, so he’ll always have that. Unless he goes the Robin Williams route with his career.
Anyways, with that in mind, a special Aziz Ansari Friday Links edition:

Friday, November 20th, 2009If all the internet could be reduced to eight links, then first of all, it wouldn’t be that useful, and second of all, there probably would be other, better links besides these, but there you have it.

Friday, November 6th, 2009Friday Links is back! Blame the economy, rising commodity prices, healthcare reform, international strife, and the refusal of certain local grocery stores to ever have an adequate selection of produce when all you really want is a kiwi for its absence. Now, revel—revel I say—in its glorious return. Or at least click on a few of the links.
