WatchJackie Wilson meets a snowball, part 2.
He was pleased with its velocity and was intrigued by the fact he could lick it, but obviously the temperature of this round object was confusing to him.

There is so much truth to this. I had a pizza box that fell on the floor last week and before I could turn around and pick it up, the cat had settled into it.

Walking north on Broadway towards 14th Street, snow just starting to fall in the streetlights, and “Unsatisfied” comes on the iPod.
I have walked these streets with the Replacements in my head and in my ears for 25 years now and that song still hits me like I’m hearing it for the first time, every time. Why is this song not required listening? Why is it not considered classic?...

The basics: Egypt is a large, mostly Arab, mostly Muslim country. At around 80 million people, it has the largest population in the Middle East and the third-largest in Africa. Most of Egypt is in North Africa, although the part of the country that borders Israel, the Sinai peninsula, is in Asia….

Here’s how a reporter loses credit for his work:
On Monday, dude who made phone calls reports exclusively in Women’s Wear Daily that Kate Winick, a senior editor for Worth magazine, crashed a $250,000 Bentley during a test drive for members of the press.

I’m really surprised* that so few people are familiar with Shawna Forde, the leader of Arizona’s Minutemen American Defense vigilante group who murdered Raul Flores and his 9-year-old daughter, Brisenia, in their house.
So here is some long-winded, rambling background on Shawna Forde,…

Bookavore: Thoughts on the Snooki book. →
bookavore:
Oh, where does one begin? Does one start by saying “it’s not as bad as people say,” a backhanded insult both true and defensive? Does one mention that one laughed; can one reject the fear that whatever one says about the Snooki book says more about the reader than the book? Is it possible to even…

Shawna Forde, the notorious anti-immigration vigilante, is currently on trial in Arizona for the 2009 murder of nine-year-old Brisenia Flores and her father in Arizona, and stands charged with first-degree murder. Her alleged accomplices, Jason Bush and Albert Gaxiola, will face the same charges come March and June, respectively. On Monday, we wondered why the case was not getting attention...

cnnmoneytech:
We’ve joked in the past about how often Tumblr has served us up a big ol’ slice of error page (we jest in love! and just because we miss y’all so much when we can’t get to you!).
Matthew Inman, author/illustrator of webcomic The Oatmeal, did us one better: He created a new error page, featuring green mutant critters chomping on servers. We reblogged it, as did many...

All Tomorrows Parties in Asbury Park
This is huge news.
My advice, as someone who’s spent a fuckload of time in AP attending multiple nights of Springsteen shows over the years, is as follows:
—Do NOT stay at the Berkeley Carteret, AKA the Berk, AKA “The Shining” as it is better known to Springsteen fans. There are stains on the carpets in that hotel that will be older than you.
—The Empress down the...

LEARN TO INTERNET, JEFF PEARLMAN
Apparently, Jeff Pearlman’s feelings were hurt by comments left on his blog that were — OH MY GOODNESS - insulting. He is also, apparently, the only person on the internet who clicks on random links (or as Leo put it, the only person left on the internet since 2005 to be successfully goatse’d.) Instead of doing what most normal folks who interact online do, which is delete...
