Just in case you haven’t see the video yet, here’s Beeker leading Dr. Teeth and the Electric Mayhem through a fine Rickroll:

This video is also posted on VidKing.

I found a great Gordon Ramsay interview on the BBC talk show Parkinson in which he covers a number of topics, including:

• Why it’s difficult to serve his mom at his restaurant
• Is all that screaming really necessary to run a restaurant?
• Why he doesn’t do dinner parties at home
• The “his and hers” kitchens at his house: his is 1,500 square feet and has a code lock on the door
• Working long days in Parisian kitchens and having a French girlfriend (“It’s like going to bed with a Rottweiler strapped to your chest”).

The interview’s a couple of years old, but it’s making the rounds on the internet right now. I figure that if it’s new to me, it’s likely new to at least a few other people, so I thought I’d point you to it. To watch it, click here or click the photo below:

By the bye, the video’s posted on VidKing, a celebrity video site that I’m working on reviving. Give it a look and let me know what you’d like to see on it, in terms of videos or features.

Here’s the description of Garfield Minus Garfield, a site featuring Garfield comic strips in which Garfield has been removed:

Who would have guessed that when you remove Garfield from the Garfield comic strips, the result is an even better comic about schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, and the empty desperation of modern life? Friends, meet Jon Arbuckle. Let’s laugh and learn with him on a journey deep into the tortured mind of an isolated young everyman as he fights a losing battle against loneliness in a quiet American suburb.

Here’s today’s Garfield Minus Garfield, which features the accordion:

After posting the previous article, I Googled “Stuff Asian People Like” on a hunch and lo and behold, there it was…the Stuff Asian People Like blog!

In this blog, “Asian” tends to refer to “south-east Asian”; if you’re looking for south Asian, there’s Stuff Indians Like.

At this rate, there should be a Stuff Crystal Meth Addicts Like blog in about a week.

It was bound to happen: after Stuff White People Like, here’s Stuff Educated Black People Like.

I don’t think they’ll get a book deal like Stuff White People Like Did did, but it may prove to be an interesting read…

I make it a point not to give smug internet entrepreneur Jakob Lodwick any press (even our local “youth is the future” advocate Will Pate distances himself from this prat), but he does make a good point in a recent blog entry of his:

What if money had instructions on the back? Basic economic facts, wise slogans, etc? I think it would be useful.

In case you’re a little shaky on the first principles of money, here they are:

1. In the absence of other factors, more money is better than less money.
2. Real money is better than fake money.
3. Money now is worth more than the same amount of money later.
4. If given a choice, it’s better to spend someone else’s money than your own (thanks to BNK for telling me about this rule).

One particular reason I dislike Lodwick: this video, in which he suggests that the way to keep a company vibrant is to harass the old people so that they leave. Perhaps if he listened to some of these old people, he might already know a little bit more about the instructions for money.

The little perception-awareness test video below has done the rounds around the ‘net, but just in case you haven’t yet seen it, give it a try! You might be very surprised:
