Oh, the impermanence!

* Wikipedia has a list for everything. Dig their lists of things named after people. Oh, the impermanence!
* Foods named after people is okay, if it’s an apple, or a drink. But imagine having such an appetite for pasta they named a dish after you!
* Things named after Ronald Reagan. Libraries, turnpikes, rooms, hospitals. They haven’t gotten to Oregon yet, ha!
* Bands named after places. God I’m dumb: Bosstones. Boss… town. Bos… ton.
(Woah. Three bands named after fictional Tolkien places: What the frak is “Swedish viking-themed melodic death metal“??)
* People called the father or mother of something. Yee, who would claim parentage of country music or Japanese television??
I’ve mentioned the Captain Kirk hosta and Liv Tyler rose to some of you, but did not know about:
* A biting louse named after Gary Larson.
* The Bill Gates flower fly. “This species was named after Bill Gates in recognition of his great contributions to the science of Dipterology.” Huh…
————————————————————————
* Brilliant Dan Savage tirade on wedding magazines. “The mission of your traditional bridal magazines is making sure that the happy couple is bankrupt after their wedding. Engagement 101—brought to us by the publishers of Wedding Dresses—is dedicated to the proposition that the truly happy couple really ought to go bankrupt before the wedding.”
* Jon Swift blog reviews Conservapedia. “Conservapedia was founded by its most prolific writer, Andrew Schlafly, the non-gay son of Phyllis Schlafly… Based on good Christian values, unlike Wikipedia, which I gather from the name, is based on Wiccan.”
* Sell the house, Matt! Washington High School to be converted to condominiums.
* Fine, Matt: no cat has actually ever smothered anybody. But your cat sure was trying to turn me into Hungry Joe! >:(
* Denzel Washington’s next project: American Gangster, about real-life drug dealer Frank Lucas, who made a million dollars a day and shipped heroin inside the coffins of fallen Vietnam soldiers.
* Third season of Venture Bros. announced!! Yes, yes, YES!!
* Hot dog! New Modest Mouse video!
