For those of you looking for the best punk station on the internet, look no further! This station has a good mix of old and new.

It’s not about speculators.

When gas prices reach the levels we're seeing now it's easy and convenient to blame unnamed shadowy "speculators" for the proverbial pain at the pump. The fact is, however, that gas is so expensive because the limits of oil production are being reached while demand is ever increasing.

Weird videos file, continued.

To keep the streak of weird videos going, here's one entitled Dancing Man Wearing a Horse Mask Cooks Wild Mushrooms. And you know what? It delivers on that title.

Back… for now

I finally managed to unwrangle the mess that Wordpress's database update had left behind (seriously, who could fathom that a database update would cause problems in relation to a graphics file in a theme I had installed and wasn't even using?). I still think it's a hell of a mess, but frankly I haven't had the time to develop my own solution for the time being so at least it's fixed and I have a means of giving out my opinions to the world again, flawed or uninteresting as they may prove. I do have a number of articles planned but yet-unwritten on a variety of subjects, like the BMW ...

This is the weirdest video I’ve seen in at least a couple of days.

Unfortunately, no one can be told what this video is. You have to see it for yourself.

Try as I might I can’t find the weapon information for this game…

In what is sure to be the beginning of a new area of frivolous spending for parents of 8 year old girls all over North America, Sanrio is about to officially launch the Hello Kitty MMPORG. Information on the game is available here. Information on diabetes (which is sure to result from the unrelenting syrupy sweetness of the game) is available here.

It was cold, and things too a turn for the wurst…

When it's cold and icy, you just know that people's vehicles will slip and end up in the ditch, that's just a fact of life. But when it happens to the 27'-long Oscar Meyer Weinermobile, it's worth slowing down to have a look.

The most pathetic car accessory ever made.

Behold the Virtual-Motor. You install it in your Hyundai Accident (or whatever) and when you rev up you have the sound of a big V8 in the car... until you really put your foot down and the lack of engine response reminds you that your life just hasn't worked out the way you wanted. You can then turn up the volume so the engine noise drowns the sobbing you'll be doing about the fact that you can't afford a decent set of wheels...

Some things you just can’t buy. For everything else there’s Amazon.com.

Amazon.com -- the US version, not the scaled-down imitation you get in other parts of the world including Canada -- is a pretty wonderful store, and although they're famous as booksellers they'll sell most anything. Including, and I did a double-take when I saw it, an artificial insemination kit for your pet. Now I'm not a pet owner or a pet expert, but really, shouldn't you go to your veterinarian for this sort of thing?!?

Guaranteed to provide you with 100% of your RDA of “cute”.

It must be tough making toasters -- exactly how do you improve on a device whose purpose is simply to toast a slice of bread? Well, Sanyo has an answer for you. According to them what toasters need is more panda.
