Good Grief!

A nip is in the air, the daylight is still in savings, and the weekend forecast is sun and more sun. To celebrate, a road trip to Ricketts Glenn State Park on Saturday and Sunday. Which means, of course, that Friday night is devoted to baking the season’s first batch of pumpkin muffins.

After mixing all of the dry ingredients, I realized that I am missing a key item—the pumpkin.

So instead of making muffins, I am drinking beer and reading blogs. Since I complained about lame blogosphere Fridays last week, it’s only fair to recognize a good Friday*

• Matt crashed his blog by linking to the hilarious and brilliant re-cut trailer of The Shining.
• Mark kindly handpicked some free and legal mp3s.
• Scott put on some pants, preventing the women in the office from checking out his legs.
• Flea linked to Feministe, which linked to a hilarious mp3 of Eugene Mirman’s conversation with United American Technologies, a phone company that is against the homosexual lifestyle. You must follow this link and download the bizarre, funny, and disturbing exchange.
  

  
  UAT: Did you press one to oppose same sex marriages?
  
  Mirman: Oh, I pressed it. Yes.
  
  UAT: Okay, that’s great to hear. And are you against same sex marriage?
  Mirman: Oh, I want to destroy it, yes. LIKE A FIST OF GOD, WE WILL SMASH THEM.
  
  UAT: Exactly.

  Mirman: AT&T sponsors child pornography?
  
  UAT: No, that’s MCI. [via our Canadian pervert neighbors]

Frankly, I’m a lot more disturbed by the lack of emergency pumpkin supplies in Fishtown than I am by our Canadian pervert neighbors.

The other thing I’m doing in lieu of baking is downloading pictures from the camera. Feast your eyes on this Fishtown boobie graffiti. The artist is obviously part of the emerging “Port Fishington” arts corridor.

*Yeah, maybe all of these things weren’t actually posted on Friday, but that’s when I read them.
