In on article I read years ago, Kurt Cobain said that he and his friends used to walk into parties and announce, "here we are now, entertain us," which is where that line from Smells Like Teen Spirit came from.

In light of that, I demand that everyone post something today to entertain me. It could be a factoid, a funny story, or even a Youtube link.

Here I am now. Entertain me.

So far, you are all doing terrible.

This is the greatest website in the history of the world. I didn't use the Internet except for e-mail until I found this site around 1998.

I was at Xerox until 11:00 PM on a Friday night when I found it, as I couldn't stop reading it.

And download the first season and watch it and be entertained.

If any of you are ever bored and find yourselves with a couple of hours to kill, I urge you to check out this site:

The short summary is, a bunch of punks, druggies, and creative people took over a house for almost a year. One of the guys living there, "Gus," wrote a glossary about his time there.

That's the short version: I explained it in more detail in this blog post from a few years ago, if you're interested.

I own the book and also attempted to drive by the house while I was up visiting Pennsylvania, although I didn't quite make it. The website now lists the GPS location of Big Fun.

I found this both shocking and informational, and quite entertaining once you get past the 'squick' factor, especially at about 3:57 in the film :

I didn't get past the 0:00 mark, based on the file name.

I don't blame you, although I found a video on how to castrate stallions using their tool to be amazing. I wonder if Stone Manufacturing makes tools for castrating dogs and cats, it might help reduce the cost of neutering, which usually requires a veterinarian.

That sounds just like something you'd expect that cocksucker to say, by the way.

I always imagined shortly after announcing that some jock would punch him in the face.

In honor of this thread today I wore my old Nirvana shirt. I also wore it because we went to the mall today and I'm a sad, old man who thinks kids will be impressed that I'm "hip" and listen to what the kids listen to ... which is ridiculous as Nirvana's Nevermind came out 20 years ago and is older than most of the kids I saw at the mall today.

So anyway on the way home I heard on the radio that Amy Winehouse had died. She had drug problems, and Kurt had drug problems. She was 27, he was 27.

And at that point, I realized ... I had been double Pinbacked.

I still can't get over the fact that her name was WINE HOUSE. This would be like the bassist for the Pixies or something having a huge gambling problem with poker.

The fattest kid in my high school's last name was FULLTON.
