Video: Jim Gaffigan on Bacon

Not just stand-up. Funny stand-up. About bacon.

I don’t exactly know what the message is they’re trying to get across (and I’ve seen the original Dove ad they’re lampooning) but I still laughed. [via See Jack Shop]

Headline of the Day

“Man sentenced in “pride” killing of ostrich.” [Yahoo/Reuters]
SAN FRANCISCO (Reuters) - A U.S. man was sentenced to five months in jail after he and a friend, acting on wounded pride, gunned down an ostrich that had kicked them as their female companions laughed, a newspaper reported on Saturday.

From the surprisingly fantastic “Crime Scene KC” blog:
Authorities have dropped charges against a Texas woman who allegedly gave her husband enemas using sherry. (Insufficient evidence, they say.) The man died of alcohol poisoning and had a .47 BAC at time of death. The wife has told the local newspaper that her husband had an addiction [...]

Unlike most race videos that end in fire and tears, this one ends with the lil’ tire that could. Safe for work! (Thanks, Michael!)

Amazingly, this is mostly safe for work. And if you don’t know what a “lemon party” is, Google will guide you to something that is assuredly not safe for work or your perception of geriatric sexuality.

College Humor’s latest installment of “Prank War” was so unbelievably harsh I didn’t think it could be real, but Deadspin interviewed the prankster and he claims it’s the real deal. The send-up? A fifth-inning announcement a Yankee’s game indicates a man has proposed to his girlfriend. The problem is, he wasn’t the one who put [...]


Don’t forget, it’s still Dethroner’s ongoing quest to bring you lions. This case of lion-ry is a little more humiliating, but at least he takes it in stride.

» Evidently a fan of Ebert’s is trying to help Mars breed the supreme race of M&Ms.

Whenever I get a package of plain M&Ms, I make it my duty to continue the strength and robustness of the candy as a species. To this end, I hold M&M duels. Taking two candies between my thumb and forefinger, I apply pressure, squeezing them together until one of them breaks and splinters. That is the “loser,” and I eat the inferior one immediately. The winner gets to go another round.
M&Ms prove Darwin was right Thanks Ryan  # 0
