Your Friday "Moment of the Week"

I'm sorry it's not of a literary bent. And those of you without a geeky bone in your body may want to skip it. But I give you: Yoda, The Dance Piece.

Smart books for dirty men
Jessa Crispin offers a guide to men who want to buy books to look smart but don't know where to start.

Surfing for porn in your local wi-fi hot spot not getting you phone numbers? Try placing a copy of On Beauty by Zadie Smith next to your laptop (with a bookmark about a third of the way through the book) in a casual "I am doing important work related research now, but I as soon as I finish, I have a date with Zadie and her wonderful way with words" kind of way. This says, "I am a sensitive man who is comfortable enough with his sexuality to read a book by a girl in public." It says, "If I was going to buy Smith's book because I think she's hot, I would have gone for one of her books in paperback. No, I bought this because she touches me. And you can touch me too, if you know what I'm saying. (I swear I'll call.)"

That was disappointing. I was hoping he'd at least spin on his head.

It would be even better if he'd spin his head off.

This happened to be the first thing I clicked on this morning after waking up from a nightmare of terrorism

I feel much better now. Kind of high, in fact. There's nothing better than satire that goes to the edge and dangles its legs into the great beyond of poor taste. That any satire striving to this edge might find a mainstream audience gives me shivers. I am considering getting cable again, just so I can watch the Family Guy.

Loopholes in the language

I used to have this joke when I was a an insufferable kid like Calvin. I'd say to someone, "Do you know how to spell pneumonia?" and when they said, "Yes," I'd say, "Okay, spell it." Then they'd go through the motions and I'd say, "Duh, that's not how you spell it. It's spelled "I-T"..." I never got tired of that one. This reminds me of that.
