Such As It Is...
by Steve West on December 22, 2007

Best stuff I found this week.
Christmas stuff you either can't afford or shouldn't buy anyway.
Spectacular pieces of sculpture made from the incredible, edible egg.
Weekly dose of morbidity.
Humor from a master.
Do you think like a psychopath?
Video of the week: Cartman does football color commentary.

Never Volunteer, Dummy
Ever since seeing Anthony Hopkins in Magic, ventriloquists and their evil dummies have given me the creeps. This guy does as well but I laughed nonetheless. I think I could sit through his entire act but could never get past the queasiness and actually volunteer like this guy did. Go »
If I Were To Make A Children's Show...
...it would be similar to this promo for The Crime Channel featuring Gali the Alligator. The lyrics are a little hard to understand so I've attempted to transcribe them here. Go »
Speaking Of Tattoos...
"She Who Must Be Obeyed" (my wife) has graciously allowed me to alter my flesh by getting a tattoo. Much thought has gone into this. David Spade put it well after getting a Calvin of Calvin and Hobbes tattoo on his shoulder. Go »

OK, that psychopath thing wasn't fair! Just because you can tell why doesn't mean you would be like that!
Good links, though.
