Always thought this was underrated. Van Der Beek was even good!

Nothing makes me happier
than seeing one of our posts has attracted a groundswell of traffic and angry linkbacks from the white supremacists at stormfront.org and elsewhere. Thank you, guy who stood next to Taylor Swift with a swastika painted on him! Also, much love as usual to my Zionist media masters.

At first I thought “Spider egg remote control” meant you could somehow command this thing to lay eggs remotely, but I guess they just call the actual remote a “spider egg.” I’m still ordering one.

Want!!1!
I want 100 of these. I wonder if you could control them all simultaneously with the same remote. This is like supervillain territory here.
Junket-roversy
Well it’s certainly nice that Alex has moderated his opinions since busting my chops for flying business class on a press trip. All things considered I would have much rather had Albo’s trip to Jamaica. Even a “big budget writer” like me has feelings, you know.
You should read Alex’s whole post, because it talks about how most peoples’ hands aren’t clean when it comes to taking freebies, despite codes of ethics proclaiming lily-whiteness. But I really think his kicker is important (fear of class and journalism talk!)
This is all my way of saying, leave Mike Albo alone, let him take his free trip. If you don’t want writers that take freebies, then you get Alex Kucynzski in the Critical Shopper column instead—someone who is so rich that the world is her freebie. What’s worse?

REVIEWS OF MY SON’S TOYS: Indian Drum
Rescued from a batch of cousinly abandonments. It’s an electronic instrument that makes a snare-drum noise when struck, or starts playing a tune, and lights flash within. No big deal. But if you flip it on its side and roll it, the drum plays a nonsense-song and pulses its lights along with its own rolling motions … it has some kind of accelerometer inside, I guess. In this mode it’s sort of mesmerizing, especially when the room is dim or dark and the lights’ reflections play off the windows. I’m pretty sure this would work well with “Interstellar Overdrive.”
Bite It? Nah, this is more of a headspace thing. Just roll it and let it go, man.
» The tender pink minds
mmmm, how I want to bite into those tender pink minds, like succulent filets they are. Meanwhile, how awesome a win is this for Thrillist and JetBlue? Huge buckets of free publicity and major outlets lining up to pay for the trip after the fact? Note to media: We also will pay to send you places in exchange for stories about the trip and if your employers will pick up the tab in embarrassment. Because once someone pays, there is no shame. Bonus if you can get even more stories because something heavy falls on you. [Full disclosure.]
