Something about Porta-Potties?
It never occurred to me before that one might be afraid of such places, or that one might want to encourage the public to get over such an irrational phobia. One inconceivable fifty years ago. I would consider it more of an aversion, in which the individual must weigh the immediacy of need against considerations of comfort and mental ease.
David Pogue has published a new book called The World According to Twitter and my alter ego Grinning Skull has a grand total of three entries included. There is lots of amusing stuff between the covers by my multitudinous co-authors.

I am doing my part to fill a great need for websites advising evil masterminds on how to be better villains by putting up my new website evilHow. It features a wiki, a blog, and user forums for anyone who wants to discuss such stimulating topics as How to destroy the planet. There are still a few kinks in the presentation, but still worth a look if I do say so myself.
Edit: That site is defunct, but still can be accessed via the Internet Archive Wayback Machine if you really want.
This post has been scientifically designed with an optimal title which will appeal to blog readers everywhere.

I am certain I'm not the only one to have come up with this meme, but I may be the first one to have hacked up a promotional poster for Microsoft's next OS.
Our plans to go to the movies this weekend paid off in the anti-caption department, where I received another namecheck, including the coveted last spot. (The fruit of posting very late in the week.)
The movie I cited did manage to turn my stomach, though I believe it was a matter of carnage and menace and more one of stale popcorn smell, shakycam, and too much sashimi right before we went to see the show. It was an interesting concept. Still, my gripe stands.
Always pleasant to get some Honorable Mention action at the Anti-Caption Contest.
My anti-caption contest submission last week was granted Honorable Mention presumably because it is way creepy. Thanks, Matthew!
I think one could replace two, maybe three half-hour comedies (22 minutes each) with a bunch of guys sitting on stools issuing insults at one another. Maybe a little schtick here and there to keep things loose, and a (slightly judgment-impaired) live audience too, not a laugh track. No striking writers to pay, cheap production, and it keeps the people who hate reruns, imported programming, and reality shows off the studios' case.
Because when it comes to studio execs, you know their own stock of creativity reads like an eye chart.
