Clan of the thumbs.
I want to be part of the oyayubizoku more than you can imagine [hiptop notes].

How to Get Caught Plagiarizing
How to Get Caught Plagiarizing. Good article about the stupidity of plagiarism. Why anyone would copy a paper off the internet, when a simple keyword search will find the source through Google, is beyond me [lotsofco.org].
From the same “back-to-school” issue of The Stranger: “How to be a College Lesbian” and “How to be a Fag Forever.”

Sweet “Homo” Alabama
Sweet “Homo” Alabama. I’ll admit it: I only went to catch super cute Ethan Embry and Patrick Dempsey. But wait until it hits the video store, they don’t get much screen time.
And now I’m having to convince all my friends that the landscape and people depicted aren’t anything like the Alabama that I grew up in (the movie was actually filmed in Georgia). All I know is I never saw that many gay men traipsing around Alabama when I was growing up…

Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Once More, with Feeling. The soundtrack to the Buffy musical episode is finally in stores. I miss all the dialogue that I got used to hearing in the bootleg MP3s recorded off-the-air, but the addition of 3 suites of underscoring from other episodes make this new CD invaluable.

Computer Science Humor.
“So we covered all of last semseter’s object oriented programming curriculum in one day. I was like: OOP, I did it again” [bsdeluxe.com].

I was tickled pink to see in my server logs that someone visited my weblog using (presumably) an I-Mode cell phone. I’ve only ever gotten to see my site through Avantgo on my Palm, so I’m really jealous of people with wireless PDAs and data cell phones. I’m crossing my fingers that someone will visit my page with a Hip Top (or better yet, I’ll get one myself someday soon)…

dead-or-alive.org
dead-or-alive.org. Check to see if a celebrity is still with us or not.
I know this site has been around forever, but I actually had to use it today. I couldn’t remember if Bob Hope had kicked off or not (I was confused after reading that Oprah won the posthumous-sounding Bob Hope humanitarian award last night at the Emmys).

Death to Smoochy
Death to Smoochy. Combine kiddie show hosts and the mob and you’ve got one funny movie. The closing ice show with Robin Williams and Ed Norton (in his pink rhino suit) almost made me pee my pants.
