Weekend Link Dump, Starring Fish n' Flush

Busy Friday ahead for me, as I've got to upgrade my Movable Type so PK.com doesn't get shut down again (presumably due to attack robots), play in a softball doubleheader, run out to New Jersey to board a party bus, and somehow stay awake as we drink and play poker overnight on a ride up to Niagara Falls for a bachelor party (not mine!).

In other words, if I'm alive by Sunday night's return trip, it'll be a miracle. Till Monday — when I plan to post pics (of just the Falls) — here are some links I've saved this week.

Fish n' Flush: The Toilet Aquarium — My friends at Thrillist.com highlighted this contraption that's sure drop any home's value by at least $25,000. No animals were harmed in the making of this product, but that should come as no consolation to the fish once they've seen you wipe your ass for the 300th time.

Top 30 Game Show Hosts of All Time — You know what hell is? Hell is having a person wearing an ugly sweatshirt and their name on a price tag jump your bones for winning $100 because they correctly guessed the price of a moped. Ladies and gentleman, Bob Barker has been to hell thousands of times. PIR vids: Dane Cook's routine | That absolute NUT Daniel going fucking crazy (Full 5-star PK.com rating on that one. He's the poster boy for spaying and neutering.)

YouTube: Hulk Hogan and Ultimate Warrior Working Out — Not the actual wrestlers, but a couple of dudes who are dressed like them in a local gym. Fucking hilarious.

School Paper Towels: The Least Effective Product Ever Made — My friend Pat Stack writes a brief, but brilliant, blog post on those totally useless brown paper towels we all got stuck using in high school. Ya know, the ones that absorbed absolutely jack shit? The kind no one in his right mind would ever use at home? Yeah, those.

Buttonator — A terrific interface with which to create customized, downloadable buttons for your website. Could use a less ass-tastic name, though.

Bird's Eye View of Famous Homes — From Yahoo! Picks, a cool tool that allows you to see satellite images of such famous homes as the Playboy mansion and the Cunningham's house from Happy Days. (Maybe including that upstairs apartment where the Fonz got all that ass, because nothing's cooler than a 5-7 guy who lives in a hardware store owner's tiny apartment in Milwaukee.) Anyway, zip around Zillow.com to see satellite images of your own home, as well as property values in the area.

The 11 Best Chappelle's Show Skits of All Time — Cracked's list comes complete with links to YouTube clips of each sketch. No copyright violations there! My faves are the black klansman and the racial draft.

BusinessWeek: Free and Reliable Spyware Removal — Valuable information for anyone who views online porn regularly. I think that was kind of a fad a few years ago. Not sure if anyone still does that.

Bushisms: Stupidest George W. Bush Quotes — Can't believe there's enough server space on the Internet to host 'em all.

Coupon Cabin — Always a good idea to search for coupons before making any significant online purchase. This place, touted this week by ResearchBuzz.com, seems like a good place to start.

Mandarin Meg Has Passed Away — I never met Meg personally, but the web design expert used to comment over here and gave my site constant plugs with her "blogger quilts." (You can view the most recent one here; I'm one down from the top-right corner.) I was, of course, saddened to hear of her passing. Saddened because she was a creator, an artist, a person who saw and shared things that only her eyes could see and only her brain could produce. When creators pass on, they can't be replaced. They are individual. They leave bodies of work and inspire other people's creations. Thus, Meg will always live on, as do all artists who create something — words, designs, photographs, music, films, etc. — out of nothing.

That's F'd up -- that site stole the Bushisms thing from Slate. Get your own idea!

Thanks for the link to my site. Meanwhile I can't stop laughing at that Hulk / Warrior video.

Hey, you're going to my old nabe. If you drive thru Buffalo, get chicken wings at the place they were invented, The Anchor Bar on Main Street in downtown Buffalo. Duffs also makes good wings. They're in Amherst at corner of Millersport Hwy and Sheridan Drive. If you pass a Ted's Hot Dogs definitely stop in. Mighty Taco is a local taco chain. Pretty good. Also try a Beef on Weck sandwich. Another Buffalo delicacy.
Don't forget your passport of drivers license or you won't be able to get into Canada, which has the better views of Niagara Falls.

Pat, I changed the link to Slate's now. I hate copycats.

Larry, what are you trying to do to my digestive system. How much food am I supposed to eat on a drive-thru of Buffalo? And of course we're going to the Canada side? It's a bachelor party. Thank about it!
