More Cowbell

"I got a fever and the only prescription is more cowbell!"

What started it all
You can even view the transcripts in case you want to work on your Christopher Walken impersonation.

And the Cowbell Project. I particularly like the "Songs that should have a cowbell" section. I mean, what song couldn't benefit from cowbell?

Cars

Looking for really cool pics of cars for your desktop background?
Well, Look No Further!

Comics

I was never really a comicbook fan, unless you count MAD magazine...in which case, I was a maniac.
However, no Spiderman, Silver Surfer, none of that...Don't know why, just didn't dig it.
Anyway, there's this guy, Les McClaine who has a really nice blog and a very cool comic strip(hope that's not somehow deragatory) called Johnny Crossbones. He actually has more, but I like that one cuz it's the one I've been trying to catch up on. And it's well drawn and well written and all around great.
It's kind of Tin Tin-esque...although the Little Johnny Crossbones is a kind of ghoulish looking Calvin and Hobbes.
Anyway, lots of fun to be had and incredible drawing!



UPDATE: 5/3/07 Seems the jonnycrossbones site has been hijacked or something...the bottom line is, NO Jonny Crossbones! I emailed Les McClaine to see what's up.

Feast of Saint Patrick

Enjoy the day and have a look at this article for some background.

St. Patrick

So we're at that time of year again...St. Patrick's Day. The annual bacchanal...the orgy of drinking and the general lame behavior that goes along with it. I will(shamefully) admit that I will most probably be eating Corned Beef and Cabbage this weekend...but only so as not to insult my mom!
At any rate, I found an excellent site that might act as a decent antidote to all of this "Kiss Me I'm Irish" stuff that rears its ugly head this time of year.
Irish KC is written by a talented, artistic REAL Irishman, who somehow wound up in Kansas City!It's a great source of information on Ireland and America-from-an-Irish-perspective.
He has a Irish Glossary, sadly with no pronunciation guide, but cool nonetheless.
There's also an FAIQ, a Frequently Asked Irish Questions area, which I would encourage everyone to read, thus saving yourself the embarrassment and the poor Irish person you meet the indignity of having do deal with such questions.

Lots more to see there too...so enjoy, and Happy Saint Patrick's Day(Which, I was told by an Irish Friend, they don't actually say in Ireland....)

Watcho, Watcho Man!

Hell yes!
How did I live without this site?
Watchismo!
Sure, they could have called it "Watchmodo", like all the other gadget blog types, but nooooo. And why didn't they? They are just too WATCHO for words, that's why!
Here's the Vintage watch page...Excellent.
The funny thing is, I don't even OWN a wristwatch.

Eat My Shorts

In the beginning, Matt Groening did his own animation!

The Shorts

Stair na Eirann

Here's a decent site with plenty of Irish History links.
Irsih History

Update: The Pogues drive a Cadillac SUV?

Finally found the commercial on YouTube...and just in time foir Irish History Month!
Listen to the lyrics after the've all piled into the Family Wagon...as the old man sips his coffee. Classic!

Irish History Month

Well, why not? It beats one day of Green Beer, garish green plastic bowlers and general lunacy.

Here's a nice collection of Irish Short Stories to kick things off.
