Worst Halloween Costumes/Courtney Love



No, this isn't a post about a Courtney Love costume. They can be had wherever female impersonator paraphernalia are sold. This is a classic post from retrocrush.com about bad choices for Halloween costumes. It's pretty hysterical and timely.

Speaking of Courtney, I just saw her on Good Morning America and if she wasn't fucked up, she did an incredible impersonation. Having said this, I would recommend (for the truly brave) going to see Courtney signing her autobiography, Dirty Blonde, tonight at the Astor Place Barnes & Noble, as there's bound to be some kind of assault taking place. Mark my words. Courtney's better than the stock market when it comes to these things.

Punctuation Marks Can Be Very Confusing...



That's why we're uploading this classic clip from Sesame Street featuring Victor Borge's brilliant system for pronouncing puncuation marks. This one goes out to Lynn Hodde, as it ranks among her favorite things ever aired on television (though that's not saying much).

Click on the image to watch. Enjoy.

Vote Maureen Johnson!



Please go here and vote for Maureen's book 13 Little Blue Envelopes. To hell with J.K. Rowling! What has she ever done for you? Maureen, on the other hand, has adopted no less than 25 homeless iguanas. They were abandoned by their respective owners and Maureen was kind, no, saintly enough to take these otherwise hopeless, destitute iguanas in and give them a second chance. She has done the same for several polar bears. Granted, the polar bears ate most of the iguanas, but who knew? Doesn't the thought count for anything? Well, I guess I overestimated the lot of you. I'm shocked and more than a little disappointed. Still, you can make up for it by going here and voting for Maureen Johnson's 13 Little Blue Envelopes.

A Little Touch Of Schmilsson On The Net



Here's a clip of Harry Nilsson from a 1971 BBC special. Here, he sings "Walk Right Back," "Cathy's Clown," "Let The Good Times Roll" and a few others through the magic of pre-After Effects video tomfoolery. Clip courtesy of Bedazzled.
