Burritos By Number

I think I posted awhile ago about fivethirtyeight.com, a website monitoring the election and breaking down polls and what-not by using ridiculous math to give the chances of how things might've turned out? Well, the guy who runs that site, Nate Silver, is a Chicagoan from Wicker Park who also rates local taquerias! Is there anything this cat can't do?

Intergalactic Evanston Internet Shout Out!

So now that the election is over, wonkette is having some rough times finding things to post. So they are reduced to posting shit from the Skokie Review (5th one-liner) about an old lady in Evanston who kept dead bodies in her house for a couple decades. The good people at the Skokie Review probably had a good time this morning trying to figure out why there were so many hits to their website. And apparently none of the commenters, except one, like Evanston.

By the way, didn't Actor used to live pretty close to there?

Ol' Pussy Teeth

Vagina dentata is Latin for toothed vagina. Various cultures have folk tales about women with toothed vaginas, frequently told as cautionary tales warning of the dangers of sex with strange women.

The best cautionary tale of "not letting your dick get bit off and your body fed to tigers" I've read yet!

oh guilty pleasures ....

Back on the video tip.

Yeah. Not guilty pleasures because of any preconceived notion of what kind of music someone like me should like. No, mostly cause these songs epitomize the uber-slick image that record companies push on people with less constitution and greater impressionability. Plus the misogyny is pretty out of control on all of these, even the one sung by a chick. That being said, shit, I love these jams ... Can't embed cause their parent companies won't allow it ...

JiggaMan don't dig 99% of this guy's stuff but this is the JiggaJam. Like how i did that?

I remember waiting for this to come on the radio back in the day when I had a car with a tape player that didn't work. Circa 2001? I think that's about when this tune came out. Produced by Dre, so it's hard to argue. Video is so contrived though. Can we put a moratorium on videos that follow the "Rich people having party. Urban/poor/different people feel slighted. Urban/poor/different people invade party. Everyone has good time except for one stuckup person after realizing that urban/poor/different people have the BEST parties, The End."

Ha. Yeah, a great example of what "Real Southern Girls" look like. And not exploitative at all. Glad Pharrell got rid of that mustache though. Oh yeah, and in case you forgot, Mystikal is in jail for 6 years for makin' his hair stylist give him a BJ. A true lover of women. Still like that beat though.

A Post By the Baron

Smoking pot will ruin your life, or won't

And you can smoke pot in Michigan, if you need it to live a life that the smoking pot will ruin

amazing

We are all feeling pretty good about this election, because for the first time in a long time, the intelligent people won out over the fools.

But never underestimate the power of stupid.

Bong-bing-bong

So I was reading this article entitled "Bong-bing-booong". I think I was mislead about the subject matter of the actual article by the headline. So on to related items:

Next time you're at the Grateful Dead SATs, drop the word hubble bubble which is the sound that a water pipe makes. It also refers to the water pipe itself. Which is some slang we should be busting out.

Unsafe sex.

Safe sex.

Sound advice.

Wolf Blitzer, you're my only hope

You're a little short for a storm trooper (NSFW)

Pimpernel and I watched the electoral version of a slam-dunk on a grainy little 13" TV perched atop a picture booth at a real old school Chicago bar called Wee Gees. Good Times! There was many people and shuffle board! Huzzah!
