Overnight Open Thread

Let’s roll…

Lamebook:

Advertised as The Funniest and Lamest of Facebook. From what I've read so far I'll give it a "meh." You might like it though. You're easily amused and quite probably shitfaced.

Lamebook is brought to you by the lovely people who also brought you The People of Wal-Mart. They're bringers like that.

The Storm Trooper Varsity Jacket:

I'll just go with the description on Geekologie. Less typing for me:

"As you probably know by now unless you live on Hoth and your internets are perpetually frozen, Adidas has a whole line of Star Wars themed apparel. The latest? Tauntaun-skin intimates. This Dark Side Imperials varsity jacket. Now I'm not saying I'd go steady with anyone in school that has one just so I could wear it, but I'm sure we could work something out. HJ behind the Death Star gymnasium? Think about it."

I'm sure that's exactly what I would've written. It's a pretty snazzy jacket though. While there, make sure you check out the Unicorn Bike Mod. Might as well get familiar with it since starting next year that or something similar's gonna' be your only ride (As soon as DOT gets around to writing up the diktat)

More? Ok. A festival of merriment, delight and dissapointment awaits you below the fold...

The U.S. Citizenship Quiz:

Prove you belong here. Or even are here. The History Channel has an online citizenship quiz. I don’t think this is the exact U.S. Citizenship exam but the page claims it’s based on it. It’s three separate quizzes broken up into American Government, American History, and Civics. Each has 96 questions. Some of them are quite precious, such as this possible answer to what the Cabinet does: “Stores the Executive Kitchen’s non-perishable food." Other questions are laughably out-of-date, such as this one:

“What is the economic system of the United States?” Your possible answers are:

1. communism
2. socialism
3. capitalism
4. mercantilism

*Supposedly* the correct answer is capitalism. Hah! Guess they didn't get the revised copy of the exam.

A Harmonic Beer Convergence?:

Cue the X-Files theme. What are the chances of the following occuring on or about the same, sorta' nearish time?

1. 200 Year-Old Beer Salvaged From Shipwreck.
2. Oktoberfest Drinks to 200th Birthday.

Spooky, no? It's the number 200. What don't the Freemasons want us to know? Has Minister Farrakhan been informed of this?

Blame Bush: The Blog:

Yeah, it's gone dark...sometime back in 2009. But doesn't Larry the Liberal know we need him now more than ever. Fly, my pretties...go pester him to re-light the blog beacon...tell him that his work is far from done. There's so much more to Blame Bush for and he's barely scratched the surface. Eh, if nothing else you can always stroll down memory lane in the archives.

KKKitteh:

Old, yet so dependable in a lazy pinch: How to Tell if Your Cat is Plotting to Kill You.

All right. Let's walk it outta' here...
