Just got this in my email box. It’s some suggestions for an Oscar Party, I think, recipe suggestions from Epicurious.com which normally I love. But this list, it’s like if you wanted to offend and confuse your Oscar party guests you might serve the following in succession:
Piquillo Pepper and Sardine Tartines
Jerk Beef on Plantain Chips
Baked Chicken Meatballs with Peperonata
Shrimp and Andouille Pot Pies
Cardamom Vanilla Pound Cake
Some of it, sounds good. But all of it? Yeesh!
Most Unappealing Product Name
It burns!
Maybe there was something lost in translation? We’re not sure, but the words “brain” and “ignite” should never go together, particularly with the image of a man screaming right below, as if to say, “Hey! I can feel it work-AAAAAAAAAGGHHHHH!”

Today I stumbled across a link provided to me by the Twitter of McSweeney’s.net. It’s called BadPaintingsOfBarackObama.com, and boy oh boy! some of them are really really bad. Like this one:
bad, very bad
So then I figured, there must be a whole lot of other really bad things with Barack Obama on them.
And it turns out there are enough bad things, just in a SINGLE search on a single site, that I could probably write a whole blog about it, and get rich!
So I’m going to do that. Before anyone else does. Because I thought of it first!
… are aptly expressed by the following quip from a FBriend of a FBriend (where FB = Facebook-F):
“Gay people should be allowed to be as miserable in marriage as straight people.”
Long time ago, when YearbookYourself first started, I tried it out and was very disappointed with the results. It didn’t lend itself to pictures of one’s-self with glasses on, and I always have glasses on in my pictures, because I wear glasses, period, always have.
But it always nagged at me. I’ve seen some really hilarious and/or awesome results from people who yearbooked themselves.
I was fucking around with the 2009 version today, and I just decided to commit myself to making it work. So I started with a glassesless picture of myself, and plugged it in. The rule was to use only that photo, with a scowl and no glasses, that I just took with my phone. I think the results are really great, once I embraced the David Lynchian terror of the whole project. I relaxed my expectation that I was going to hit on, say, ME ca.1956, and released myself into the creativity of making faces. Disturbing faces, many of them.
Here then, is the result
Yearbooked the hell out of myself
This has been such a grouchy day for me WOW!
It started off by having my coffee ruined, by my lovely wife, who, it must be said claims not to have known that taking the first 16 ounces of coffee from a pot that’s in the process of brewing essentially renders the remainder unfit for Lutherans. Fine. She’ll never do that again, and I’ll never forget to set the auto-brew to go off in time to be done before she hurries off to work.
Then (heh. I’m realizing now I should just have left early to get a really great Americano, instead of bitching to you guys) I discover there’s only enough 1/2&1/2 for a single cup, and then I’m out. Wow. Coffee God hates me today.
Then blammo whammo everything (not literally!) goes wrong at work. Hard stuff to fix.
But the good thing is? I get the rest of the week off! 
Going to see a concert in Seattle tomorrow night, see if you can guess who it is!
If I was into rainbows and hearts and shit I’d put a bunch of hearts next to the song to prove how much I love/care about this song:
Makin a new blog over here…
