This week in Pensquare's Links to the Utterly Fascinating & Relevant: What's left of a factory where Japanese human torpedoes were built during World War 2.
A note to anyone that may be considering making a contribution to your public radio station: it's not that I discourage it altogether, just know that beyond the initial monetary sum, you will pay in a thousand small ways. I can't claim to have any idea how badly these stations are hurting for funds, but I'm pretty sure they can at least subsist on donations from the type of folks that would put a "Keep Our Parks Green" bumper sticker on a $150,000 Lexus.
That being said, I'd like to publicly praise KCRW for pushing my music collection from crypto-elitist to downright pretentious, and also for making Nic Harcourt say "member number" so often, because it makes me giggle.
Oh, by the way, about the whole not-posting-in-four-months thing, it's World of Warcraft. Yes, I'm a whore, but you're not allowed to agree.

Such is the state of things, that I've had nothing fascinating enough to put in this space for the last month and a half. I am, it would seem, in the midst of The Great Atrophy.
One of my classmates from 11th grade has gone on to become the lead guitarist for Mikabomb. Operation: Name Drop will commence shortly.

Stop that immediately. I demand it. Your direction-giving skills are horrible. Why you persist with that ritual in the age of portable computing and mapping websites that use satellites to test accuracy is beyond me. Give me the address.
You don't know the address. Brilliant. Tell me the nearest cross-street. No, honest, there is no need to spout arcane directions. STOP! Look, I'm not even writing them down! I'll MapQuest it. I'll Google it. I'll Yahoo-map it. Just PLEASE SHUT UP.
No, I doubt very much that those sites will take me in "the back way." With few exceptions, these sites are known to plot the most direct route between two points. And I'm hardly convinced that your way is faster; you've never had access to a terrestrial-imaging satellite.
Know what? Screw it. Your oily sex party can just go on without me.
Ass.

Title: MEMO - ALL EMPLOYEES MUST READ
From: pmchagus
Hello, all.
There comes a time in every man's life when he narrowly escapes being mauled by an albino Rottweiler guard dog. For me, that time was certainly not today a little after noon. See, turns out I have Dog Taming Skills. Either that or I smell like meat, which wouldn't suprise or particularly worry me.
Ergo, I formally retract any ill words I've ever spoken or typed of guard dogs; I had never met one before today and was merely repeating what I heard in the South Park movie. In addition, if there's anyone around who wants to smell me, I'd appreciate some feedback.
Thx.
Porky McHagus,
