Of course you remember his most recognizable #1 hit, “My Yarmulke”
My yarmulke believe me, I wear it proud
I’m the jew with the crew that will rock the crowd
Cruisin’ in my benz, to the dope rhymes I pens
Cashin’ interest hard on the monies I lends.
I’m sorry if you’re not of the tribe
And don’t understand my cool [...]
This is the C-series Benz that belongs to my 20-something neighbor. The guy opted to try and “secure” his front license plate with zip ties. Zip ties. Seriously, zip ties.
Not only that, but he only used two zip ties, so every time I saw his plate it was blown up on his grill like this.
Until [...]
I wasn’t sure until I saw the license plate…
Saw this license plate while parking for thanksgiving today:
Look, I realize the guy is probably some sort of system analyzer. It doesn’t preclude me from being incredibly immature, or thinking it’s a stupid license plate.
I totally ganked this from this guy’s Facebook page, because I couldn’t comment, and I’m a thief. A photo of the Alaska Governor’s mansion with an Obama/Biden sign out front:

Some random thoughts from the last 17 days of Olympic coverage:
How much carbon did that Olympic torch emit over the course of 17 days?
Who holds the patent on the wind-generating flagpole, and where can I get one?
During that first drum performance of the opening ceremonies, I couldn’t help but think: “What’s the name of the [...]
Without doubt, I am no uber-geek, but I know enough to get by at most San Francisco cocktail parties. I do about 95% of my own IT, and run a pretty tight ship when it comes to security on our home network. So when my Internet connection simply disappeared last week, I assumed it was [...]
Tomorrow marks one year since Tolstoy passed away. I am constantly amazed at how much I still miss the guy. When food hits the ground, I still immediately think, “Oh, Tol is going to love that.” When we get home from a trip, I still hesitate coming up the stairs, wondering how pissed he is [...]
A few months back, the History Channel focused one of their fx-driven episodes of Mega Disasters on Volcanic Winter. The concept is terrifying, but seemingly far fetched: I mean, what are the odds of a massive volcano erupting in our lifetime? And if it does, we could always find a way to pull through. Right?
But [...]
My friend Sarah recently posted the top 106 books most often marked as “unread” by LibraryThing’s users. As in, they sit on the shelf to make you looksmart or well-rounded. She issued a challenge to “Bold the ones you’ve read, underline the ones you read for school, italicize the ones you started but didn’t finish.” [...]
