Bric a Brac

[dreamer_easy]

Via pbristow: the 'kn awesome lyrics to The Toad by these guys.

I am a complete sucker for stories like this one: Boy, 4, saves mum's life with 000 call.

The Onion takes a voxpop: Pentacle Allowed On Veterans' Tombstones.

The Trouble With Tribbles retold in the style of cat macros.

Miniskirts: they look just as bad on men.

Also from the glorious lileks.com: check out the respective facial expressions on the computers here and there.

Reading the intro to the Tribble Trouble, I had one of those GLOBAL MOMENTS...like "whoa...it is teensy, tiny world." Here we have the lovely K. in AUS, sending out bric and brac to B. in MA, reading about the Granades from SOMEWHERE ELSE...and they mention "Spatch's Cat Town." I know Spatch. He's in my theater group. He's in N.'s radio drama group. He lives 3 miles from me. He is on LJ! He loves cat. My brain explodes a little...THANKS!

"The Toad" just makes me think of a famous description of a traffic jam full of VW Bugs: "A whole road full of road toads on the toll road".
