A sandwich made of eyes dosen't sound very appetizing. Although I suppose it would depend on whose eyes. Alyson Hannigan, her eyes are probably yummy, like peppermint creme.

Thene there's the question of bread...

I just heard MonkeyFilter is shutting down and they'll be flinging all their pooh here from now on.

(interesting side story about that outfit, chewie. my brother-in-law, an outlaw biker ex-con and the toughest human being I've ever known, was once riffing through my record collection and then started telling me how he used to steal 8-track tapes from parked cars back in the day. His wife (the toughest woman I've ever met) piped up and said "yeah, he had everything, Zeppelin, Sabbath, Bread..."

Since then I have this image of this biker badass parked with some chickie in a Chevy Nova popping "Guitar Man," into the deck in an attempt to appear sensitive.)

Capn wins!

Damn! The giant asteroid was my ace in the hole. I guess I'll have to settle for increased incidence of tropical diseases animated by ecological destruction caused by global warming, and transmitted around the world by modern air travel.

Darn. That would have been a good one too Matilda! Bummer about no-good Capn winning already. I might re-open later though. One never knows.

No matter what you do, the world will end. You will no longer exist, your descendants will no longer exist, everything you have ever loved or will ever love will no longer exist, and everything you have ever done will have been a waste.

Don't worry, there's a mountain of people shit headed your way. You cannot avoid it, so you may as well lie back and enjoy being buried alive under tons of human excrement.

Further reading on comets and apocalypse. I first read this piece, by Tom Bissell, in Harpers a couple of years ago. It's fascinating and pleasurably literary.

There are people sitting around pondering this.

Ha jon! One of my best friends is a hardcore metal fan. Only other music he likes is Shawn Colvin and the like.

A hugely popular multi-billion dollar industry is based entirely on what Britney, TomKat and BranGelina are having for breakfast and what their kids look like.

Sigh...now I'm depressed...

I don't see how things could get any worse.
