When it comes to music, everyone's a critic, but hardly any of the critiques are entertaining. Not so when The Simpsons are involved, so I am obliged, for your entertainment purposes, to violate copyright law in 46 states, 23 territories, 18 back alleys and 12 strip clubs by sharing an except from a recent issue of Entertainment Weekly that contained Otto the Bus Driver's 12 Essential CDs.
1. Metallica, Metallica "This is the record I lost my hearing to."
2. The Otto-Man Empire, Satan's Henchmen "This is the album I recorded in my garage, back when I had a garage."
3. Poison, Look What the Cat Dragged In "This band played at my wedding. I never paid them."
4. Blue Oyster Cult, Don't Fear the Reaper "I dare you to find a better cowbell-based album."
1. Metallica, Metallica "Did I say this one already? I forget, I'm so wasted."
6. Led Zeppelin, Led Zeppelin IV "If you have to ask why, you must die."
7. Spinal Tap, Smell the Glove "I feel like I was their bass player in another life."
8. Frank Sinatra, Songs for Swingin' Lovers! "I don't really like it, but it's great to hide my stash in."
9. The Simpsons, The Simpsons Sing the Blues "Everyone should go out and buy this album again."
10. Ted Nugent, Motor City Madness "The music sucks, but anyone who kills an elk with an arrow is okay in my book."
11. Ramones, Road to Ruin "For when I'm feeling thoughtful."
12. Ssgt. Barry Sadler, Ballads of the Green Berets "My dad killed himself to this."
Hilarious stuff. Once the statute of limitations has passed (say a few weeks), I'll rip off this idea and provide my own list.
Today's Web Finds:
Recap of Shaune Bagwell's Appearance on Howard Stern's Radio/TV Show I missed the original E! airing, so if anyone knows when it repeats, let me know.
OverweightDate.com Twice as good as Match.com, because you get twice the date. No, seriously, a guy sent me a nice e-mail asking if I'd plug this niche dating site, so I'll be a gentleman and not make a joke about what plus-sized people must put down when they answer survey questions like, "Three Things I Can't Live Without."
Meet Virtual Bartender Tammy Plante Fleshbot uncovers the gal behind the Virtual Bartender craze. Now go tell her to kiss a girl. Trust me.
Obnoxious E-Cards Did your neighbor's annoying dog finally kick it? Send him a card that reads: "Your beloved pet is now in a better place ... if you consider a dumpster behind the vet's office a better place." (Thanks, Matt)
Crazy Kent Some nut travels the country to be pictured in a trash can. Like Oscar the Grouch with HTML skills. Here he is in New York City.
Google Help: Cheat Sheet Did you know you can limit searches to only those listings added in x number of months? Or that you can find all definitions of any word from around the Web? Google is also a great calculator, map-locator and a database of about 12 billion pages of porn. (Found on Book of Joe)
Video: Girl's Skirt Torn Off by Taxi Door So orchestrated it's ridiculous, but she does a decent job of acting panicked.
Contest: World's Most Amazing College Story Win $1,000 for sharing some crazy tale from your college days. You might even want to be truthful. CollegeStories.com already has a wealth of write-ups sorted by topic, ranking and school, including my alma mater, Syracuse University.

Circuits Girls' Most Recent Bikini Contest A new gallery from my friends at 95South.com. Once again, I'd like to give Hurricane Charley a big "fuck you" for canceling my Bahamas trip to party with 95South and the Circuit Girls.
More Celebrity Impersonators I always get a kick out of lookalikes, especially ones who look impersonate Babe Ruth, Howard Stern and, ah yes, Britney Spears.
Those obnoxious ecards are awesome. pickleparty.com has some great ones to.
And I know Shaune Bagwell is a friend of the site, but I think she's got a really weird looking face. Killer body, but that grill has had too much work done to it I think.
