Bedtime Stories
George pointed me to a new children's book: Go the Fuck To Sleep. I also found a reading of it by one of my favorite orators: Samuel L. Jackson. The video shows the pages of the book as he reads (here's one of his speeches in Pulp Fiction (FF to 2:20).
George also noted: "Motherless Brooklyn, whose author is quoted at the top of the cover, is the book I've mentioned before about the detective with Tourette's."
If Animals Could Speak
And you really should watch the best talking dog video of all time: Ultimate Dog Tease

critique of Lustig's 'bitter truth' video and summary of subsequent debate:
2 alarm chili:

Lunch at Five Guys -- April 6, 2011
The Jott service is shutting down May 3. they were bought by Nuance, the makers of Dragon Dictation software, who does not seem to be replacing it with anything equivalent. I found a possible replacement: Dial2Do.
George checked and found that coal burger is now open, and they've removed the phony testimonials from their home page. "I'm happy to see they use grass fed beef, and pictures of the burgers and shakes sure look good:"
George also remembered that he ran across The Queen's Gambit after reading a really good review by Jesse Kornbluth of The Art of Racing in the Rain. "I was looking at some of his other reviews and after reading his review of The Queen's Gambit ("Rocky for smart people") decided I had to give it a try:"
Here's the rock climbing deal George mentioned:
And here's the juggling quadrocopter video:
Here's the link again for the Kenji hamburger video, and the link for his french fry article (probably too long to read, but definitely worth a scan through the photos):
George's sister sent the following photo showing the line outside The Shake Shack:

Lunch at El Pollo Loco - March 31, 2011
Hi Paul -
Here's the Dilbert strip we talked about: http://dilbert.com/strips/
And here's another one I found that I call Life at Amex (top line anyway): http://dilbert.com/strips/
Here's an article on the artificial cloud (with animated video) (I want a personal-size version of this, to follow me around in the summertime): http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/
And how much energy *does* it take to fire a pound of bacon into the asteroid belt?: http://boards.straightdope.
Remember, today is April Fools day. Keep your guard up!
