Recent Fun Stuff

Here's an picture of Jake and Beth building their bathroom last summer, and some recent funny stuff from the internets that you may not have seen:

• A Japanese guide to American football
  
• 10 Things I Hate About Commandments
  
• Stephen Colbert Roasts President Bush
  
• I Love Egg
  
• Man tries to sell wife's box on eBay
  

Needless to say, some of these may not be safe for work.

Hmm...

I'm thinking that even the period after this abbreviation doesn't make it right.

This is Genius...

Velvet Underground meet Lawrence Welk. The people dancing are the best part.

[Sorry for the light posting schedule lately, I've been super busy with work/teaching.]

MC Hammer has a blog?!?

Um, so why didn't any of you tell me that MC Hammer has a blog? It covers baseball, his new baby and praise to the good Lord Jesus Christ. So it's a lot like my blog, in other words.

Indie Rock + Playstation Baseball?

When I first heard about this, I thought it was a joke, but it isn't: the new Playstation game MLB 2K6 has an all-indie rock soundtrack. Actually, it's an all-Matador records soundtrack. Normally these games have awful soundtracks consisting of shitty rap songs about being good at the particular game in question along with crap stuff like Nickelback or Good Charlotte. If you are lucky, you get Van Halen. Generally it is so bad that I turn it off whenever I can.

But this new baseball game has Belle & Sebastian, Pavement, Malkmus, Interpol, Guided by Voices and a whole bunch of other good bands. I may have to trade in my old baseball game for this one (also because the rosters on the old one are hopelessly outdated). I'd love to hear Papelbon coming in from the bullpen to "Le Pastie De La Bourgeoisie."
