Friday Fav’s: Savage Yet Tender Edition
My favorite product of ’05 that you can buy for a dollar has to be the Sharpie Mini key chain. Unfortunately, I grabbed mine in the dim light of an Office Max yesterday afternoon and discovered in the light of day that I had purchased a purple one instead a black one. Damn Office Max and their fluorescent lights. Collect them all and use them as the new mood ring.

Favorite simile of the day comes from Robbert Sabbag’s Smokescreen: A True Adventure. How do writers come up with this stuff?

“Granted, this was not the first use of the word “fuck,” not by any of the three smugglers, and certainly not since the initial shock of the radio announcement had hit. But Hatfield’s use of it here was like the overture now to an entirely new symphony of invective. In the next two minutes, replicated, mutated, compounded, and prodigiously exchanged by Hatfield and Long, the word would be traded so fast that its movement would by utterly impossible to clock. It would run through their altercation like gonorrhea through the crew of a merchant vessel on liberty in the Philippines.”

Favorite thing I missed a while back but am now enjoying: A New York Times slide show of Bansky’s additions to the Brooklyn Museum and Metropolitan Museum of Art.

Favorite site of the day: Bad Design Kills.

And one of my top five, all-time favorite bands, NoMeansNo, will be playing at the Triple Rock this Monday. Come on down for that and get your rawk on!
