I'm heading out of town again, so the forecast for the next 6 days is, "Dry, with occasional sprinkles of light blogging." Here's some random linkage to chew on while I'm away:

How to say I Have Lard In My Anus in 30 different languages, including Klingon. It's about time someone documented this IMPORTANT INFORMATION! (via DRT)

Classic Cafes: London's Vintage Formica Caffs (via I Like again)

Optical Toys: a very cool collection of Zeotropes, Zograscopes, and of course, Phenakistoscopes. (via Bibi)

Finally, my buddy Sebastian links to Picking Up Girls Made Easy, then heads out to get drunk and try his technique on the Swedish Bikini Team.

Hasta Lavitra, Babies!

Sam, the World's Ugliest Dog and Lo Pan, evil sorcerer from Big Trouble In Little China. Sam's the one on the left, in case you're wondering.

Tom Cruise is Nuts popped up today on a couple of different websites I aggregate, and I'm going to join in the blogospheric chorus of raspberries being blown in the general direction of this obnoxious celebrity cultist in the hope that it will somehow speed his well-deserved relegation to the ash-heap of Hollywood history.

Judging by the current box-office numbers for War of the Worlds, I'd say that it's a vain hope, but I can dream, can't I?
