Overnight Open Thread

Monday all.

The official Man Card site is now online!
So no more having to fax or mail in forms. You can now order your Man Card and man card accessories online as well as get official rulings on behavior such as watching figure skating without a female present. And you can even file appeals for card reinstatement directly on the website and pay using credit cards or paypal.

There's even an iphone application for on the spot emergency Man Card revocations. Of course if you are in danger of losing your card, the wisest route is to let a trusted fellow moron or moronette hold it temporarily until you come back to your senses - there's a lot less humiliation and fees this way.

The 7 Stupidest Ways to Accessorize Your Car
Yeah more than 3 bumperstickers implies nutjobbery. And that's true even if I agree with the stickers. Oh and having seen a shot-up car before, I'd say the bullet hole stickers are fairly accurate.

The Underground Dwellers of Las Vegas
Humanoid but not cannibalistic. Yet.

The Top 5 Winter Olympics Fashion Faux-Pas
Just because you're a world class athlete doesn't mean that the rules of fashion don't apply to you.
