Sleeping Cats make great playmates
Wesley Buckaroo has some great pictures of a cat named Wesley who loves to sleep. The best part is that sleeping doesn't stop Wesley from being a great playmate. Mr. A says it best:
"I love to play with my cat, however he sleeps through most of the day. So the best game I can play with him is buckaroo when he is dreaming. When playing buckaroo with a cat (or any animal, except unfluffy ones) remember do no hurt them by using stupidly big items such as laptops or cars, that’s cruel. Oh I made a little Video too. My cat is the bestest cat in the world."
See what I mean? It's awesome. (via

Found Voicemail
There has been an
awesome string of voicemails posted over at
Boing Boing. They really are pretty awesome. And I can definitely foresee quite the medly when they are all sliced and edited together. But just to give you a quick summary, there is one about
fucking crop circles, one about
morons who only provide showtimes online, and the last one is a
misdialed woman keeping tabs on her man. The all really are quite exquisite and I highly recommend that someone create a site with the sole purpose of archiving some of the greatest voicemails of all time. I also wouldn't be shocked if we hear some of these clips sampled over the next week in flash animations and mashups across this great interweb.

A Cappella Nintendo Medley
University of Wisconsin Redefined was formed in October of 2001 and they were totally unknown to me until today, this 20th of April, 2005. But, they will forever have a happy place in my memory as the most awesome a cappella group of all time. "Why," you may ask. "I don't even really like a cappella music," you may say. But once you see and hear them perform the
Nintendo Medley you too will worship their awesomeness. From Super Mario Bros. to Tetris, to Mortal Kombat (I know, not Nintendo), to Zelda, they know how to beep and boop. Rock, rock on you crazy guys and gals of Wisconsin. I salute you.

I'm NOT lovin' it
Steve, over at
The Sneeze was recently at McDonald's pondering their new slogan, "i'm lovin' it." And while he wasn't sure that was the case, he did have
a few ideas on how to rewrite it. Par exemplar:
- i'm only likin' it as a friend
- i'm regrettin' it
- i'm wishnin' we used protection
There are some even better ones, but I don't want to give it all away. Plus he puts them in snappy sticker form. I was trying to think of a couple and all I could come up with was, "i'm hopin' I don't run into it again tomorrow and have to make awkward small talk." Oh well, I guess mine still need a little work.
