BoingBoing passes along a link to what will undoubtedly be a short-lived instance of a publicly-posted copy of the legendary Disney remix comic Air Pirates, which spawned all sorts of legal shenanigans back in the heyday of underground comix. I’ve never read this rare beast, and you bet I’m going to.
Idle
Idle Words’ overly-idle-of-late Maciej takes on NASA (with amusing pictures!) in A Rocket To Nowhere.
Pile it!

Wear a Helmet
Seriously, wear a helmet.
Hot Walnuts
This day Viv and I had the pleasure of dining in the company of Eric and Anne at the Pink Door. This followed an extended sojourn about the streets of the traditional rush-hour downtown traffic. It is to the credit of the visiting parties that they did not leap out of the car in honest expression of the fear they undoubtedly felt with me at the wheel.
The Hat of Change
languagehat drops a few lines on the subject of ethnogenesis which I found worthwhile. Take it one more extrapolative point further, and ask yourself, what is it to be a citizen of the New World? Our word for shark is said to be from the Nahuatl “xoc,” after all.
hot
So, I hear tell it’s hot.
How hot is it?
Here, they’re doing a land office biz in frozen salmon on a stick.
Okay, that is just a lie. Make up a lie for me about how hot it is where you are, and please include one semi-plausible link.

A couple weeks ago in Ballard, on dumpsters:
Heat
There is little in life that offers more potential for embarassment than concluding that your father has undertipped, realizing you don’t have cash on you to make up the difference, and concluding that you must mention it to him, only to realize after you call it to his attention that he has not, in fact, undertipped.
Hardware is Software
I saw this recently, and thought of you, and you, and you, and me.
