Kenny Strasser, Yo Yo Master
“I brought my Yo Yo but I forgot my strings.”
“We’re still not sure who Kenny is, but we’re pretty sure he’s not a Yo Yo expert.”
In his local interview segments, he poses as a twice-divorced recovering addict with family issues so severe that he’s sometimes forced to take calls from his father in the middle of live broadcasts.

Meet the Flockers: Lauren Stephenson
Hello, flock. A few things about myself, not in chronological order:
“Wanna see my telescope?” would be an effective pickup line.
I live in Boston and edit ESL textbooks. Sometimes I write about prisons, though I’ve never been incarcerated.
I love traveling and try to leave the United States at least once a year. So far I’ve been to China, Brazil, Nicaragua, parts of the UK, and all of North America. I’m going to the Dominican Republic in June.
I had the great luck of being in love once, though I’m not anymore.
DOB: 5/29/84. Tried to come out ass first but failed. Born to two wonderful educators and an older brother whom I am immensely proud of.
There is not much that I enjoy more than people telling me stories about themselves. Those are consistently some of the best moments in my life.
I would rather build it than buy it. I would rather do it myself than pay someone to do it for me.
Dream job: to give away money.
Pleasure to meet you all. I hope we can trade stories over a beer sometime, or you can come swing in my hammock and I’ll spike the lemonade.

‘GuTTa Mann’ to serve 11 months
Straight outta Dubuque: “I run my city.”
On Monday, a federal judge sentenced . . . 23-year-old Dubuquer [David "GuTTa Mann" Rhone] to 11 months in prison, thus ending the short-lived success of the would-be musical sensation.
Rhone achieved relative acclaim earlier this year when he posted a YouTube video of his hip-hop single, “GuTTa Town.” However, the release attracted the attention of U.S. Marshals rather than the intended music producers.
from the comments
I love terms having to do with glaciation. I am very fond of ‘drumlins’ and ’till’. One day I will concoct a dish I will call ‘drumlins and till’ and open a tiny little take-out eatery where I serve bangers and mash, bubble and squeak, and drumlins and till.
Subconscious excrescence
I couldn’t tell you what brought me to the vet with Nina, but we were there and his diagnosis wasn’t positive. He said she needed surgery, I would have to sign some paperwork, and the next thing I knew it was all over and my rabbit was still alive.
The vet carried her out of the back room under the crook of an arm, holding one of his wide palms over her eyes the way I do when we walk down to the park together. In his other hand was a sandwich baggie, dangling just beneath her front claws. Three exoskeletoned parasites climbed inside the clear plastic walls, stepping over two rollie pollie bugs faking death at the bottom.
“We found these inside the intestines of your rabbit,” he said. “When did you last wash out her water bowl?”
Before I could answer I realized that Nina was no longer ruddy brown but white. Everything about her was the same — including that nipped-off part of her left ear — except her fur was the color of light.
Then I woke up.

The Empathic Civilization
A fantastic video about how our biology encourages us to be empathetic and peaceful. It is as interesting as it is profoundly wrong. (via)
what could go wrong?
The document calls for the elimination of the Department of Education and the Federal Reserve, demands an investigation of “collusion between government and industry in the global warming myth,” suggests the adoption of “Austrian Economics,” declares that “‘Freedom of Religion’ does not mean ‘freedom from religion’” (which I guess makes atheism illegal), insists that “healthcare is not a right,” calls for the abrogation of the “UN Treaty on Rights of the Child” and the “Law Of The Sea Treaty” and declares that we must resist “efforts to create a one world government.
War
I have spent my life trying to understand this (via):
“The Iliad may have been written by one man. It may have been written by a hundred men. But let us remember that there was more unity in those times in a hundred men than there is unity now in one man. Then a city was like one man. Now one man is like a city in civil war.” -G.K. Chesteron

the first person to question the definition of siphon
University of Queensland academic Stephen Hughes found that entries for the word ‘siphon’ incorrectly said atmospheric pressure is the force that allows the device to move liquids from one place to another.
“It is gravity that moves the fluid in a siphon, with the water in the longer downward arm pulling the water up the shorter arm,” he said.
“An extensive check of online and offline dictionaries did not reveal a single dictionary that correctly referred to gravity being the operative force in a siphon,” he added.
The O.E.D. is currently revising the Rs so the revelation is just in time.
