Well, if Ulanov could do it...though let's hope with better results.

Beck, here's one you'll enjoy: Situational Science

This one I couldn't believe: Amazon is closing their European call centre in bright and sunny Slough, UK (David Grant's old digs) and relocating to Cork, Ireland to take advantage of better language skills on the part of the local labour force. So much for staying at the forefront of your own language, nevermind other ones.

WTF?!?

Rem Murray is an oiler again!

the sequel to the 75-band rock nerd guessing game

so that's where I've been all these years, I've been wondering what happened to me...

Hail to you all internet surfers out there! I don't know how you do it...

New one for your list, Beck: Oxia - Natural energy boost:

What is Oxygen (O2)?

Oxygen (O2) is the single most essential element that sustains all life on earth. It is also a powerful detoxifier and provides a natural energy boost to all plants and animals, especially humans.

How is Oxia Personal Oxygen different from normal atmospheric air?

Normal dry atmospheric air in a clean and unpolluted environment is usually made up of 21% Oxygen (O2), 78% Nitrogen (N2) and 1% Argon, Carbon Dioxide (CO2) and various other gases.

However, normal atmospheric air in polluted environments in which most of us live, such as most capital cities in the United States, contain much higher levels of dangerous pollutants including Carbon Monoxide (CO), Lead (Pb), Nitrogen Dioxide (NO2), Ozone (O3), Particulate Matter (PM) and Sulfur Dioxide (SO2).

Your Oxia Personal Oxygen dispenser contains none of these contaminants or pollutants, and also contains a much higher concentration of pure Oxygen (O2).

it's Jeremy! haha! You've got to see this, Jere... it's totally you!

Seems like you can erase yourself off the internet completely. Certain person not naming names, basically was a overnight internet celebrity, then poof gone as if they didn't exist. Even image searches and stuff like that turn up nothing.

Okay, everyone, could you please promise me something?

If we still know eachother when we're all old and rickety, I would really appreciate it if you'd cut the shit and tell me straight up if I'm being a total asshole to everyone... regardless of how much it'd possibly hurt my feelings. And I mean it, if I become a really rotten, crotchety old lady, TELL ME. Tell me I'm a big jerk, and that I don't deserve the friendship/love of my friends and family. Tell me I'm burning the bridges I've spent the last who knows how many decades of my life building. Tell me I'm pushing people away, and tell me, in no delicate terms, that crying wolf will only lead to bad results. fuck. ... or maybe just send a psychiatrist my way and tell me I need to sort some shit out before I'm allowed to talk to normal people again.

so... if it wasn't the kiss of death that killed her, what did?
