Why has no one turned me on to the Daily Mash before?

This site is going to suck up a lot of my time, I can just feel it. Check it:

U.S. BECOMES WORLD'S BIGGEST COUNCIL ESTATE

"Since the Pilgrim Fathers set foot on Plymouth Rock, the American dream has been about working hard and owning your own home until the government suddenly turns into a bunch of communists and buys up all the mortgages."

Sarah Palin Bingo

NOTE: One game of SARAH PALIN BINGO should take one hour on MSNBC, three hours on CNN, and up to a month or more on FOX News.

You're going down like Bear Stearns!

This totally brought me back to my Wharton days...

I want this kid's sweater.

Oh, Reuters Oddly Enough

This is one of those really great stories, and I must say, I love journalism with punch lines.

Steven Tyler Laid Off From Aerosmith As Band's Jobless Rate Hits 20%

Analysts speculate that the sector-wide layoff was a result of multiple factors, including redundancies in the singing-songwriting division, rising rehab fees that have cost the group millions, and a 34 percent decline in jump-kicks since 2003. In addition, some of Aerosmith's younger, more ambitious employees, such as Joe Perry, 57, are willing to sing and play an instrument at the same time, often for half the salary.

Tyler, already dangerously underweight, says he will struggle to put food on the table without a steady income.

Awww yeah! (#2 for today!)

Baseball's best mustaches (courtesy of Olivia) - I think Rollie Fingers (what a name, too!) is my favorite.

Awww yeah!

As part of the unspoken Internet aspiration to answer all of our most inconsequential questions, some giant nerd ("Thank you!") plotted out Steve McQueen's route in the chase scene from Bullitt and put an animated Google map next to the clip from the movie. Particularly cool if you live in San Francisco ("I thought that's where it was!").

Comics in the Chronicle

Today's gave me a chuckle, though I have to admit I rarely read comics in newspapers anymore. There are some Internet ones I like... though I'm never consistent. Sigh. Anyway, the "World's Greatest Father" thing amused me.

Bay to Breakers!



Check the video for a glimpse of how I spent last Sunday. I don't think this could happen in any other city. FYI, there is a bit of nudity.

C'mon, we've all been there.

Area Man Makes It Through Day

SCHAUMBURG, IL—Besieged on all sides by such opponents as suburban conformity, inner emptiness, and virus laden spam e-mail, Adam Blume managed to survive another 24 hours.

"Man, what a day," Blume said regarding his 16-hour battle with everything from public transportation to profound spiritual alienation.

^It's exactly what it sounds like, but the results are more surprising than you'd think.

"How could a love this sexy end? After many long nights in my round circular bed wondering..."

Smoove Is Waiting

Girl, there comes a time when even a strong, well-dressed man must admit defeat. It has been a long time since we broke up and you left...

I'm seeing moats all over San Fran... wait, that's just the bay.

Report: Nation's Gentrified Neighborhoods Threatened By Aristocratization

Barackula

"Barackula is a short political horror rock musical about young Barack Obama having to stave off a secret society of vampires at Harvard when he was inducted into presidency at the Harvard Law Review in 1990. Obama (Justin Sherman) finds that he must convince the vampire society that opposing political philosophies can coexist or else the society may transform Obama to the dark side. Reminiscent to Michael Jackson's Thriller and a slight infusion of Jesus Christ Superstar, the film solely depicts Obama’s strengths, merits and genuineness while being quietly respectful towards the other presidential candidates."


Wow. Thanks Brigit for sharing.

Stuff White People Like

Clearly I don't agree with all of them (I personally hate knowing what's best for poor people, but there you go!), but amusing nonetheless.
