Turtle Romance

The cutest animal sex I've ever seen - just listen to the turtle's little voice as he tries to get busy with a running shoe. Warning: includes graphic turtle penis, which I think is strangely adorable, but your boss might not agree.

The Chicagoan - The Bastion of Yesteryear ::wink::

This is amazing!! "He quickly realized that he had stumbled upon a Chicago counterpart to the New Yorker that mysteriously had slipped through the cracks of history and memory." The Chicagoan! Why did I have a weird deja vu when I read that? Oh, yeah.

NASA wants you to drink your own pee.

UK local governments are using anti-terror spying abilities to catch people who put out their trash too early and paperboys who ditch rather than deliver advertising circulars. What a great reason to rewrite the law and restrict people's freedoms and privacy!

God's Facebook wall. "Adam is FIRST! You and Adam are now friends."

"SEX!": An Important Lesson in Tagging YouTube Videos

I'm editing and posting clips of last night's Chicago Underground Comedy show, and it seems that tagging the Money Kids' video with "Sex and the City" (one of their bits) makes it a viewer magnet. I posted the clip about 4 hours ago and it's up to over 3500 views.

I noticed that within minutes, the clip was getting hundreds and hundreds of views, and I thought maybe it had been chosen as a featured clip in the comedy section or something, but I guess it's just my new tactic of using tags to describe the content of the comedy that attracted all that attention.

Yes, Lauren Lapkus and Candy Lawrence are adorable and sexy as well as being hilarious, but, uh, it's a comedy clip, and you can't put actual sex clips on YouTube anyway. What the heck, internetizens?

Anyhoo, here's the highlight reel from last night's show, featuring Prescott Tolk, Sean Flannery, CJ Sullivan, Dan Polydoris, Money Kids, and James Vickery. It features NO SEX WHATSOEVER:

Do Not Want

Dear Google,

You are awesome. You and I have been pals since way back in college, when I did a PR internship at my internet service provider. I knew you even before the days when you started providing Yahoo with all its search engine functions.

And I think it's so cool that you're always diversifying the range of services you offer, like Google Reader and Google Maps, and I will say right now that I love Google Docs almost more than my Mac itself.

However, please stop sending me e-mails like the one in the picture I took of my BlackBerry. I try to remain open to new experiences, and I'm not judgmental about you or your lifestyle choices, but I'm just not up for trying Google Anal, and certainly not at 9:50 on a Wednesday night.

Love,
Elizabeth

P.S. I think it's a little disingenuous of you to tout anal as a "new option." I'm pretty sure the Greeks were doing it a loooooong time before you came along.
