Log log log (log, log, log)
The Log Song from Ren & Stimpy What rolls down stairs alone or in pairs Rolls over your neighbor’s dog? What’s great for a snack and fits on your back? It’s Log, Log, Log! It’s Log, Log, it’s big, it’s heavy, it’s wood. It’s Log, Log, it’s better than bad, it’s good! Everyone wants a log! You’re gonna love it, Log! Come on and get your log! Everyone needs a Log! //////////////////// This post was inspired by the dearth of search results for “log log log”. I want that top spot, baby! (lyrics via)

Yeah, but can it play La Cucaracha?
Check out these downloadable mp3 NYPD siren sounds. I dare somebody to use one as a ringtone. “When New York City police officers have to use their sirens, they have the option to mix and match a series of screeches and wails.” Is this part of the service referred to in “Protect and Serve?”

How to escape wind
The most effective way, according to this Japanese TV show, is to slap your butt while shuffling away sideways. I liked the “dancing prawn” technique, though.

Do I need a Boston Terrier?
Please tell me. I saw this photo and fell in love with her: The thing is, her markings are dirty and she looks like she has an eye problem. Check out the page of photos her sellers put up here. Another issue is that I really don’t want to support a puppy mill by making a $200 purchase from them, but there seems to be no good breeders selling Boston Terriers in Thailand.

Predators vs. Prey
Everybody was linking to this clip last week but I had to wait for it to come out somewhere else, because YouTube is still blocked here (and proxies are a pain).

Airbag Story
On Saturday. I went to my homeboy Ot’s shop, Wattana Sound, to get a bigger horn put on the car since it seems to be the only deterrent to the 50,000 students haphazardly riding motor scooters on the local roads. His worker takes off the steering column cover and leans under to examine wiring bundles. He uses a tester and checks each wire and then inadvertently triggers the driver’s side airbag… POW! The airbag catches him square in the eye and is louder than a tire blowing out (I know this because I was across the street when it happened). So eventually I return to the shop and Ot is…

My Only Phobia: Sharks
I have always had an irrational fear of sharks. Even in our pool, when I was little, I was afraid of swimming alone at night and would imagine fins following me from the shadowy depths… Like I said, irrational. It has gotten better over the years, but I still like being around others when I wade in the surf or swim out a bit farther when at the beach… That said, I know the importance of sharks in the food chain (and that’s not to say they belong in Chinese soup bowls). And that said, I found the recent run of anti-shark and other underwater weapons over at Wired very…

Tea in the Sahara
Is it just me, or is it totally mind-blowing that the Police are touring again? You have to read this report by Stewart Copeland: Our First Disaster Gig! Synchronicity is a damn good “speeding down the freeway” song/album. (thx Lek)
