This may be the last thing I eat in 2010. Wish my heart luck. Posted via email from toddx’s posterous | Comment »
I am the Fauxetry champion
Tonight, we performed Fauxetry for the crowd, and I kicked some butt. The object of the “game” is to find a random, mundane bit of text, i.e., a receipt, recipe, VHS box text, etc., and read it in the style of slam poetry. Add wine and fun ensues. Since the party was based on a Boggle contest (we’re so edgy), I chose to read the Boggle instructions. Needless to say, it was a...

Banksy's views on advertising
“People are taking the piss out of you everyday. They butt into your life, take a cheap shot at you and then disappear. They leer at you from tall buildings and make you feel small. They make flippant comments from buses that imply you’re not sexy enough and that all the fun is happening somewhere else. They are on TV making your girlfriend feel inadequate. They have access to the most...
Justice Delayed, but Leonard Matlovich would have...
Thank you for your bravery, Leonard. You blazed that trail all the way to December 18, 2011. I hope someone writes 65-31 on your headstone in celebration. Thank you. Posted via email from toddx’s posterous | Comment »

West Wind is dead. Long live West Wind!
Is anyone else paying attention to the gutting of the old West Wind Automotive on Townsend St.? I loved the old sign, but it’s interesting watching the progress of these soon-to-be condos. Posted via email from toddx’s posterous | Comment »
If Sarcasm Ruled the World

Take that, you bike-riding hippie! UC Berkeley...
via sfgate.com Sure, a $220 fine for locking your bike to a railing instead of a designated bike rack seems severe, but, and I say this as one who abhors traffic and the overpopulation of cars in our city centers, “Deal with it.” It’s the law. As a pedestrian, I see so many violations by cyclists every day that I have lost all empathy. As a group, you tend to be reckless...
Do you wish your coffee cup held a surprise?...
You work hard. You sleep poorly. You need your caffeine PLUS a little extra jolt in the morning. No, I’m not talking about that shot of Jack Daniels you add to your Folgers every morning. I’m talking about Hidden Animal Teacups! You can choose from bears, owls, or foxes when selecting your coffee spirit animal. I suspect that the hipster contingent will be lobbying for robots and...
Bed Bugs Don't Have To Be Scary, Do They?
via bedbugsupply.com Yes, in fact, they do have to be scary! They are gross and they suck your blood. I think it’s perfectly reasonable to instill a healthy sense of fear in your kids when it comes to vampiric bugs. Or, you could take the toymaker’s approach: Bed bugs can be a difficult topic to explain to children during an infestation, which is why our giant bed bugs can...

The 2011 Color of the Year is...PINK-ish
I mean “honeysuckle.” Bold choice, Pantone. Whenever I get diarrhea, I’ll think of your color. Shout out to Pepto! Posted via email from toddx’s posterous | Comment »
Mini Gingerbread Men
Let the carnage begin! These things are delicious. And with a serving size of three and 120 calories per serving, I’ve only consumed about 3200 calories so far. Yay holidays! Posted via email from toddx’s posterous | Comment »

Every day is Halloween when you're a panda...
via latimesblogs.latimes.com Researchers in China dress up in full-body panda suits in order to prepare young pandas for their reintroduction to the wild. You see, they don’t want the young pandas to imprint on the humans, so they’re dress up to fool to poor unsuspecting pandas. Think Pedobear for pandas. It’s a great idea and a noble endeavor. But, look at baby panda’s...

Wine for a rainy night
It’s cool and rainy in San Francisco. It has already been a long week. I think it’s time to enjoy this 2008 Seghesio Zinfandel. Cheers. Posted via email from toddx’s posterous | Comment »
Accounting just became a whole lot more...
via ajc.com I’ve never been to Atlanta nor Kennesaw State, but if this is typical of their state-sanctioned curricula, then COLOR ME THERE! This is the kind of education our kids need. I say “Pshaw!” to credits and debits. Show me the money, Mr. Taylor!! Posted via email from toddx’s posterous | Comment »
Sedimentary Books: Now this is a library...
via recyclart.org Can you imagine walking into your local library and seeing this? It’s a booklover’s infodesk dream come true! (And, yes, booklovers have such dreams.) Be sure to click on the link to see more photos. Now, what I want to know is how they got them stacked so perfectly. And is it earthquake-safe? And what if I want to read something from the third layer from the...
Josh Duhamel flies the unfriendly skies
Dear Josh, We all know you’re cute—extremely handsome some might say. Hey, we’ve even seen your early nude photos and, for the first time ever, wanted to unironically ask, “If I said you had a beautiful body, would you hold it against me?” But, Josh, I have to say that we’re worried. First, Fergie. Some terrible things have been said about Fergie by Perez...

Now You Know Why They Call It The Singapore Sling
The Singapore men raised eyebrows at the Asian Games in China with the moon on groin design. Their government said they should show ‘dignity’ to the flag. A statement from the country’s Information Ministry declared: ‘Unfortunately the team did not seek our advice on the use of the crescent moon and stars when they designed their swim trunks. The Singapore government said the design was...
