Silly Site o' the Day It's Buy Nothing Day here in North America (and tomorrow in much of the rest of the world), but I still need to venture out to pick up my dry cleaning and a few culinary necessities, so wish me luck. Fortunately I'm only going locally so I shouldn't be sucked in too much ...

Thanksgiving 2009 As the only American in our household, I have long acknowledged that Thanksgiving is primarily my responsibility and my celebration. Still, Robin got the holiday decorations (our greeting card wreath , fiber-optic tabletop-sized tree and my menorah and candles) down from the ...

Silly Site o' the Day Happy Thanksgiving to my fellow US citizens and residents! Let's get our sillness out of the way prior to the usual traditions of watching the parade (probably with the sound off) and figuring out what to make for the Thanksgiving meal. This year's holiday month will be ...

Silly Site o' the Day You know what I love about the latest cycle of Beatlemania (I think I've lived through about five now)? That we can use new technologies to make even more outrageous Fab Four satires: Via Gonzalo Cordova at the Comedy Central blog.

Silly Site o' the Day Okay, this one seems to be everywhere today (I first saw it on Keith's blog ): So, who am I to blow against the wind, any way the wind blows?

Silly Site o' the Day Hooray, Bloglines has rediscovered LiveJournal feeds! Now I can catch up on at least a third of my Kultcha blogroll (which I'd taken to following via Google Reader). Speaking of antiquated net hobbies, here's a nice BoingBoing post by Brandon Boyer on the lost hobby of ...

Silly Site o' the Day I know it's Sunday, but even if it weren't, PZ Myers recommends the following Wii, or We, game: PZ hopes it's a hoax. Based on my visit to the website , I fear it's actually viral marketing for the upcoming February 2010 release of the next Dante's Inferno videogame .

Belated Friday Cat Blogging (™ Kevin Drum ) The landlord's adjusted the heat again and it's mostly comfortable in the apartment, but kitties still appreciate a good cuddling with the blankets: Someday I'll get back to actually doing Friday Cat Blogging on a Friday again.

Silly Site o' the Day Glad I got out of the house, even if it was just to run errands and see the podiatrist to excise an ingrown toenail. The weather was lovely! Good job I don't go in for sun poisoning, though. If you do, you might want to check out Pale Is The New Tan , via Xeni at ...

Silly Site o' the Day Although I suppose today's Children in Need day has officially ended in the UK, I'll bet you can still give. Here's Peter Kay's animated contribution: Robin walked me through this one, as I didn't recognize about half of the characters.

Silly Site o' the Day Been watching wacky food-related shows in preparation for tonight's episode of Top Chef. Since that show's on Bravo, I thought Steakhouse or Gay Bar (via Xeni at BoingBoing ) was an appropriate link for today.

Silly Site o' the Day Last week our local PBS station ran a show on how the Beatles influenced Russian youth and, all domino theory-like, led to the breakup of the Soviet Union. [Yakov Smirnov] "In Soviet Russia, glass onion looks through you!" [/Yakov Smirnov] Anyway, while the premise was ...

Silly Site o' the Day So I decided to explore Flash by Night , the home site of Drench (to which both Robin and I are currently strangely addicted), and I may never get any work done again, damn it. I tend to prefer the puzzle games to the arcade-type ones, and the one that intrigues me the ...

Silly Site o' the Day Robin thought The Human Printer was a good silly site, but I just find it kind of peculiar. Let me get this straight: human beings sit there and trace photographs halftone-dot by halftone-dot? And I mean, more than one human being ? To what purpose? Although they're ...

Silly Site o' the Day I've been so busy playing Drench, I am no longer aware of all internet traditions. Here's "Charlie Bit Me" (of which I'm clueless) Auto-Tuned (of which I'm not): Via Joselyn Hughes at the Comedy Central blog . Whoa, the CC blog has an actual female? Any chance of any ...

Silly Site o' the Day Continuing with the theme, here's your God FAQ (via Lambert ). Oh, and by the way, do you know how you can tell it's November in NYC? The Thanksgiving Parade viewing stands have started to go up along Central Park West.
