How the Internet Was Won

It's official: Lance Cardinal just won at internet. How did he beat all of the competition? He build his own Muppet Show Theater play set and then blogged about it for your pleasure. It's crazy, no doubt... but it's damn impressive. Lance claims that he used real concrete and maple wood, but as far as I can tell from the pictures, it's actually constructed from 100 percent pure awesome. Go to his blog to see all of the amazing pictures. It really is fandom at its finest.

Man, this blows my DIY Muppet merchandise out of the water.

The Perfect Folk Song

Arlo Guthrie makes a very strong case here that this Elvis song is actually a folk song. I'm inclined to agree with him. "I Can't Help Falling In Love With You" is, in my opinion, tied for the title of The Perfect Folk Song. (More on the other song later...) It's so simple and pure that it feels like it belongs to YOU and to everybody at the same time.

It's a great song, a great performance, and a great story. Enjoy.

Real Psychics and Mediums

As a public service, here is a complete list of genuine psychics and mediums:






















All of the others are shameless con artists. If you don't see the name of your psychic or medium on the above list, please be advised that you have been placing your trust in a fraud. You should stop patronizing that faker immediately before they exploit you again.

Thanks, Humanists

I already loved the Molly Lewis song "An Open Letter to Stephen Fry," so I was glad to hear that she would be singing the song in front of the man himself. As I watched the video of the performance, I thought it couldn't possibly get any better. Then the camera pulled back to reveal... an ASL interpreter! Consider the lily gilded.

It's Your Day. A Woman's Day.
