Mind-blowing sidewalk chalk drawings.

I know. The 3-D images kept me staring for a long time.

Heh. I only work at those titles because Scott usually makes a good title. I've done it a lot lately.

Speaking of replacement curse words, and speaking of Chinese food... Replacement curse words have become a necessity for radio announcers since apparently the minimum fine for an on-air curse word is now $60,000. This radio station WFMU that I listen to on the internet is now having a discussion about what words to replace with what... Someone here nominated "egg roll" to replace "asshole" because they'd heard it overdubbed that way in a TV movie. I thought that was funny.

How relevant! I might have to start saying "eggroll." Funny.

One of the worst movies ever made, "Johnny Dangerously", features Richard Dimitri as Maroni, a stereotypic Italian mob guy whose entire role focused on his slaughtering the English language while cursing at other mobsters. Some of his more creative phrases were, "You farging icehole", "I gonna put you bells in a sling", " You farging bastiges", and " You sonnoma barge." The utterly wretched Dick Butkus commented after a long string of non-sensical swearing with, "What a mouth on that guy."
