video to Leonard Nimoy singing "The Ballad of Bilbo Baggins" You might want to send your nerds out of the room; the Star Trek/Tolkien combo can sometimes cause them to overheat. And here's a good idea: let's get 5 women in sweatshirts to dance (like hobbits? what kind of dancing IS that?). and sometimes they'll be wearing spock ears. and enormous buttons with humorous slogans. [thanks, Linus.] um, google your categorization needs a little work. |

| 08.02.02 | world's largest thermometer and this is me avoiding the obvious joke about where to stick it. or, almost avoiding it i guess. birds n bees (quicktime movie, 1.8Mb) would you like to see a fellow in nothing but a speedo and sneakers dance around in the woods like a crazy man? you may as well skip the movie's first half and jump in where he jumps in. if i were Missy (Misdemeanor) Elliott and it was my song being used for this, i would just cry and cry. (there's also a smaller 960k version.) |
on the subject of taking topics from real life conversations with friends and posting them to misterpants.com i'm wondering if it's bad form to take subjects from conversations with friends and post them on this website. probably it is. but, like most things, the fault is not in myself but in the person who made the mistake of being friends with me. because with this guy [thumps fist on chest], the website comes first. okay, that's an obvious lie. the website gets the same slack treatment as friendship. |

| 07.26.02 | Ants, hello. Welcome back. Want some more sugar water? I made too much and I just can't finish it myself, so you really should help yourselves to it. In fact, take some of this delicious sugar water back to your nest or hive or farm or whatever. My treat. | ||

Aren't you glad that someone in Sioux Falls, South Dakota has invented a coyote pizza robot? Whatever will science dream up next? Also, "gigglebees" is fun to say. And what if there were gigglebees that would laugh when they sting you? What then? Would you want to be stung just to hear the bees giggle? [Thx, Owls.] |

He does fabulous voice impressions, and he acted completely in character throughout the whole ceremony, doing a perfect rendition of Worf." bonus #1: 4 to beam up. bonus #2: Reverend Elvis video. |
4th of july hey americans, i have a super fun idea about how to spend the 4th of july this year. this indepence day, why doesn't everyone stay at home and sit quietly and think about how lucky we are to have emancipated ourselves from the british crown. no barbecues, no hot dogs, no fireworks, no parades. just a quiet day of reflection and studious contemplation of american history. yes! who's with me! |

| 07.01.02 | that smell ooooooh, that smell. do you smell that smell? that's just the smell of me, in the background, cooking up something and when i say "soon," i'm thinking like 10 days. also, thanks for your continued patronage during this gangly awkward phase of infrequent-update hibernation undead limbo. and here's where i give you a friendly punch on the shoulder and say, "i dunno why you do it, kiddo, but i love ya for it. ha cha cha cha." |

TV commercials for Pocky featuring members of the J-pop band, Morning Musume. There were 7 girls in this band. Then 8. Then 9. Now 13. Someday, if all goes well, there will be 500,000 Japanese girls in Morning Musume. That may seem like a lot, but it will still be less than 1 percent of the population of Japan. prepare to receive the psychic mindbeam are you receiving? because we're sending. smile if you're receiving. message to 12,000 A.D. How to explain to someone 10,000 years in the future that they're about to walk into a dangerous area, the former home of the Waste Isolation Pilot Plant, a nuclear waste disposal site. Includes discussion of the problems of the delivering this message as well as lots of creepy nightmare illustrations of giant thorns and spikes and hopefully universally-understood negative symbols. "This place is not a place of honor. No highly esteemed deed is commemorated here. Nothing valued is here. This place is a message and part of a system of messages. Pay attention to it! Sending this message was important to us. We considered ourselves to be a powerful culture." [Thanks, José] |

pimpadelicwonderland.com Clicking through this site is like signing up for an elective course called Psychedelic Cinema and 70s Subcultural Weirdness 101. (You can finally write that 12-page paper comparing-and-contrasting bongs. Plus you get bonus points if you drop acid right before the final. And so on.) Some highlights:
Zardoz gallery Speaking of good weird 70s cinema. NOWFF photos Some good photos here, like this one. If you go to the New Orleans Weird Film Festival, you can feel free to let that freak flag of yours fly. |
malcolm in the middle Maybe you saw it this Sunday? This episode featured a helper monkey that turns evil. So good and brilliant it made me wish we could just forgo the whole award ceremony and let the entire Malcolm staff help themselves to a tray of Emmys. Especially the capuchin monkey. That primate has more talent in one of his opposable toes than the entire combined cast of Ally McBeal plus Becker plus JAG. |

| 05.08.02 | Lobota Lobot's adventure! Beautiful lush photos show us an exciting day in the life of Lobot. Lobot, in case you forgot, is Lando Calrissian's chief aide in administering Cloud City. I had previously thought that he was just another cyborg, shuffling about Cloud City, performing bureaucratic tasks with humorless efficiency. (In other words, someone just like me.) But after reading about his adventure, I feel like I know him as a more complete person. Lobot lives a colorful and exciting life. I envy him, but I wonder if he's lonely. It's really surprising that the makers of Star Wars didn't find Lobot's tales compelling enough to include them in the first 3 good films or the most-recent terrible film about the goings-on in that distant galaxy. The Lobota saga is a feature of Whimsyland, the home of other neat treats that will stain your sheets. |
