what a happy baby! Brit toddler swallows an Ecstasy tablet, lives to tell the tale - and drink several baby bottles of water.

Good afternoon, ticketholders!

first off, i must give the shout out to SuperJustin, for he hath delivered unto me this day a fine and glorious link, yea, verily. check out the Interactive Ralph Wiggum. what a cute little twerp he is. ralph, i mean, not Justin. well, maybe him too.

in other news, join me in a cathode-ray-tube-smashing rampage as i methodically destroy every TV in the universe for showing that ludicrous new Levi's ad with the headless women whose navels are singing 'I'm Coming Out.' further comment on this offal would be superfluous and would also probably jumpstart my facial tic again, so let's leave that alone. someone will pay for this, and pay big.

the other frightening TV moment of the week so far came, of course, from K-Tel. or some such musical nostalgia repackaging company. right before The Daily Show the other night, we clicked over an ad for a NINETIES ROCK COMPLATION. jesusmaryandjoseph, the decade is not yet cold in the ground at they are spining out crappy compilations of such equally memorable bands as Stone Temple Pilots, Hootie, and Nirvana. just as my jaw started to drop at this very notion, they reached out and hammered a stake right into my cold little Gen11 heart - "Brick" by Ben Fold Five is on there! they even showed a clip of the video! NIHILO SANCTUM ESTNE? i screamed and dropped the remote...have not yet fully recovered. i once again start a refrain of my soothing late-20's mantra: "Still hip....still hip!...still hip...."

yeah, just keep telling yourself that...
