Ah Memphis TN, never mind expending energy and taking on risk in stopping counterfitting, lets beat up some hippies! Memphis is the capital of counterfitting in the US, lots of FBI and Secret Service crawling around here, but hey, who wants to risk thier donught scarffing butt when they could instead beat up hippies!

While the TFK's (trust fund Kids) may sneer and guffaw at the unemployment rate and the unemployed, they may soon be starting to feel the pinch of inflation on Daddy's gratuity. But that will not stop them from ridiculing anyone so bold as to complain about the seating arrangement in the overall fascist pyramid as long as they feel they are far enough up above the comfort waterline.

And don't ever forget the wonderful Kapitalist crapshoot game where there can always be one lucky winner and millions of losers.

The next thing you know, killing the unemployed will be promoted as a new upper class macho sport, giving the sportsmen rewards for ridding society of the weak while providing a new market for ammo.

I just finnished reading this over the weekend, a true, can't put it down, kind of read.

Ah the last gasp of the ducktail and Bryllcream...

What is wrong with the Boing Boing site, it has gotten horribly slow...

takes over a minute to load.

"The fact is that the full text of American Gods has been online for years, and can be located with a single Google query."

So what, pray tell, is the magic spell, that will bring up the text version via Google?

Or even better, the link.

The Amazon and Harper abortions are a total waste of time.

So called 'modern interpretive dance' has always been a huge source of amusement for me. I never laughed harder than when viewing the 'pieces' performed by various post-graduate dance majors.

Bring back the June Taylor Dancers. 8o)

I thought it was very telling that Fred Rogers went straight to the heart of the matter, which was that kids like video games because they are FUN!

I have always been a major fan of Mr. Rogers and was glad to see his positive treatment of the topic.

I applaud BoingBoing for posting this. The imagery speaks volumes, so much more than the sparse commentary.

Curiously, I just viewed 'Idiocracy' for the first time the night before, and the similarities between the satire and current conditions in Lagos is alarming.
