Sometimes ’stupid’ is uplifting
I am going to fail to do justice to this thought.
There’s something very reassuring and uplifting about seeing all these people in this video take a moment to just have a bit of pointless, joyful fun. It is uncomplicated and wonderful.

HijiNKS Ensue takes on the stimulus check
Economically Stimulated is a funny comic, but I think the note he claims came with his check is the best part of the post.
“Hey, America! Shut your gaping pie holes and take this ca$h! Go buy a Blu-Ray player or some other worthless shit! Don’t stop to ask WHY the economy’s in the toilet, just consume! Go buy $600 worth of donut holes, or Cherry Pop Tarts, or Moon Pies or whatever you miserable fat fuckers eat! Burn it! I don’t care! Eat your check and fucking choke to death! IGNORE ME AND THINK ABOUT THE FREE MONEY!!! IT’S FREE AND IT’S MONEY!!! BUY SOME SEX FROM A WHORE OR BETTER YET, JUST GO FUCK YOURSELF!!!â€
-Love,

More wisdom from the mind of Scalzi
Seriously, are you tired of me waving his flag? Well, tough – his recent words on marriage are on a par with his excellent & infamous Being Poor essay, but so much more joyful.
When you plan your wedding, try to cover all contingencies. When the one thing you forgot could go wrong does go wrong during the wedding itself, accept it and keep going. Weddings are often imperfect, like the people in them. It doesn’t mean they’re not still absolutely wonderful (like the people within them).
Fiction Liberation Front–The Goods
Yet again, we find great free reading on the internet. This time, Lewis Shiner, who I was pointed at by the always awesome John Scalzi. So far I’ve only read one of the short stories – Till Human Voices Wake Us – but it was quite good. And yes, I started with that one because it’s an Elliot quote. Sue me.
Urine trouble, FedEx
The kit in question is designed to help me collect a full 24-hours worth of pee, and then facilitate the shipping of this pee to a laboratory that will give it a full spectrum analysis.
That’s HOT.
Yes. I know.I think that the Jug O’Pee is supposed to be returned via FedEx, which pleases me greatly. I’ve had nothing but terrible experiences with FedEx over the last couple of years, and I find it delightful that this service will be compelled to tote a big ol’ carton of my urine from coast to coast. It couldn’t happen to a nicer company.
The NYT on veggie cooking.
Finding the Best Way to Cook All Those Vegetables in the New York Times
As if you needed yet more evidence to suggest that Michael Pollen is right and we should just eat like normal people have for most of recorded history rather than rely upon the incomplete understanding we have of how nutrients work. Here’s a paragraph near the end of the article showing that modern food science is still charting out how combinations of foods in consumption make them more than just a sum of their parts.
What accompanies the vegetables can also be important. Studies at Ohio State measured blood levels of subjects who ate servings of salsa and salads. When the salsa or salad was served with fat-rich avocados or full-fat salad dressing, the diners absorbed as much as 4 times more lycopene, 7 times more lutein and 18 times the beta carotene than those who had their vegetables plain or with low-fat dressing.
