I'd like to look for survivors in a corn chip avalanche. Mmm, corn chips. (Least I Could Do)

Fingers Crossed For Flying Cars!

Or maybe some sort of iCortical implant so I don't have to bother carrying about a phone or use a computer anymore. I'd also go for food in pill form and some way to eliminate the need for sleep. I've got it down to 4-1/2 hours, but I still feel pretty groggy.

But no matter what the years holds, there is no way I would let Elroy Jetson wash my car. (Link via Least I Could Do.)

Too Much Pop Culture

I can totally relate to this. If I can make it through a conversation without referencing a movie or TV show, it's a miracle. I got it bad. (Comic via Least I Could Do)

Yar, Pirates!

Yar, Pirates!

Ok, I know pirates aren't the romantic, comedic, swashbuckling figures of books and pop culture. Yes, they are murderous, desperate, drug-addled fiends, just like the real pirates of old. So I can't help but echo the excitement Rayne, of Least I Could Do, over the reemergence of real-life, high-seas cutthroats.

I mean, come on, pirates! I totally wanted to be a pirate when I was a kid. Now that I've (purportedly) grown up, I'd rather be a space pirate, but I many have to pass that dream on to my son.

Of course maybe the media is oversimplifying the story — we do that, you know.


Hmm, the cartoon man may be right. How else to explain the serendipitous emergence of a Spike TV show about U.S. Navy pirate hunters? What an amazing coincidence!


But until we get that thoughtful documentary, I'll be following the pirates on Twitter and dreaming of treasure.
