I meant to post this a couple of weeks ago and never got around to it.  The Boston Public Library, where we work, has been voted one of MSN City Guides’ Top 10 Coolest Public Libraries.   Of course, they’re really only talking about the McKim Building, which faces Copley Square and is pretty amazing from an art and architecture point-of-view.  What I’ll really be jazzed about is the day the BPL is chosen for the top 10 coolest public libraries because of the services it provides.  Still, the very fact that there is a Top 10 Coolest Public Libraries list is pretty cool.

Rodney King? OMG, I may need more benzos to deal with this.

She said “noocyooler” five times, by my count. I can only assume that this is her attempt to combat elitism. Me, I want an elected official to be able to speak properly.

This just makes me love and respect them all the more. Thanks to sturtle for posting this.

Sometimes I think I get Christopher Walken way better than the basement-dwelling, comic book-trading, midnight film-watching crowd does. And of course, I’m right about that. Remember, dude was a musical theatre dancing fag way before he was an edgy, scary film heavy.

Point in fact — Walken’s 2000 Saturday Night Live appearance has spawned this website that lets you add cowbell to any song you upload. And it also lets you add Walken.

If you haven’t seen said clip, well, just watch before you read on.

Below is my first attempt at cowbelling/Walkenizing. Obviously, it’s perfect. (91% cowbell, 71% Walken.)

Listen and weep.

Under the category of WTF-ness I’ve missed is this lovely story about how some teachers in Texas can bring guns to school. You know, for protection. I’m sure the added firearms will make it more difficult for students to go on murder-suicide rampages.

Um, WTF??!

I’m a little surprised to learn from MakeMeBabies.com that if Michael and I made a baby, it would be Indian.

Here’s the visual proof. Isn’t Baby Giblets adorable?

Scot’s butt is on the line… literally, at the Prime Meridian in Greenwich England.

So, Neil Patrick Harris is gay.  We all know this.  We all know that he’s also one of our current “it boys” — seemingly able to do no wrong whether he’s playing straight on TV (How I Met Your Mother) or at the movies (Harold & Kumar) or doing the song and dance thing with Joss Whedon (Dr. Horrible’s Sing-along Blog) or whatever he wants to do.  So why is there now this little backlash over at Gawker stating that’s he’s “too straight?”  More, why am I hearing about it for the first time on one of my comics blogs where the Occasional Superheroine takes issues with Gawker’s post?  Both sides actually have merit to their argument, and I am at a loss as to where I fall.  Guess it depends on the time of day.  Bravo for Mr. Harris’ success, and it’s always nice to see more successful gay people in the entertainment business.    And come on, he looks pretty hot on that Out Magazine cover.
