Instant BBQ. The EZ Grill, available in regular size ($5; 1.81 lbs) and party size ($10; 3.31 lbs), is a portable, disposable grill that lights with one match and cooks..."
Not sure if this thing actually works, but for $5-10 it's definitely worth a try.

Shutdown Corner: "
Here’s how it would go. The sudden death system stays in place, and the first team to score still wins the game [however] Each coach writes down the yard-line at which they’d be willing to accept the ball, and they put their bid in a sealed envelope. Both coaches hand the envelopes to an official at midfield, and the coach who’s written down the least advantageous yard-line gets the ball, at the yard-line he's written down."
This is the best idea I've heard in a while! I would like to vote for you for Senate.

Excuse me, miss, what's the soup du jour? The Soup of the Day. Mmmm...sounds good, think I'll have that."
Much better than Pee soup.

Everyone seems to complain that they either last way too long in bed or not nearly long enough. But what's actually normal? What should we be shooting for?"
3-7 minutes!? I can't even make it through a drive through that quickly.

There must be cheaper ways to grill meatballs, but until I see one, I'm endorsing this one.

Here's John Hodgman doing a stellar job at the Radio and TV Correspondents' Dinner, addressing President Obama at the head table on the subject of being a true Nerd President. I was disappointed that Obama couldn't remember the name of the god that Conan worshipped."
Another excellent quote from John Hodgman, "As I've mentioned before, any fantasy baseballist has more in common with someone who dresses as an orc on weekends than an actual athlete, because they are analyzing and processing massive data, and communicating with unknown others on the web"

I think the word "Hopfenpflucken" is the coolest swear word ever invented.

From the
Chicagoist: "
If you were caught in a traffic snarl at the Tri-State Tollway (I-294) and Eisenhower Expressway (I-290), you've got beer to thank. A Miller Lite semi-tractor trailer overturned while taking a turn on the on ramp and the top of the truck ripped open, spilling thousands of beer cans and bottles. Things have since been cleared up and the driver suffered only minor cuts and bruises."
Raise your hand if you would have pulled over and helped "clean up the spill".
