Friday linky goodness, or, "I got nothin' for ya."

First, Monk's got a horoscope for you if you'll bring Monk his pipe and slippers.

Then go find out if you know your 80's lyrics. [via Vidiot.]
(warning for you work-n-surfers, the quiz is long, make sure you keep some worky-thing open on your desktop.)

I'm actually ashamed of how well I did on the quiz. I tried to console myself with the fact that I was a teen in the 80's, and popular music is unavoidable no matter the era (C'mon...tell me you don't know at least the chorus to "Oops, I did it again"), but there's really no excuse for pulling those b-side Whitesnake lyrics out of my ass, is there?

Or, if you prefer, you could go take this EQ test,which, I came to discover, is NOT about gauging whether or not you know how to use a fader, or if you could answer the parametric Hi-Mid vs. the sweepable Low-Mid controversy --the damn thing is all about if you know how to hold your horses for a freaking second. So yeah, I failed that one miserably, but since it made me think about my days as a soundman I felt a lot more punk rock and forgave myself for acing the stupid 80's lyric thing. [sidebar: counter intuitive, yes, but reading this dong resin post will give you the answer to one of the questions]

Speaking of punk rock, someone go tell Jonmc that dentists can still use cocaine as an anesthetic. It might put a different spin on his current oral care woes.

Or go to Bitch Panic and learn how to cook chinese.

Or, and this is a toughie, go read this article which will leave you completely befuddled as to what the fuck the "incident" in question is, but will answer for once and all the origin of Scott McClellan's press briefing style.

Have a nice weekend.

I just took that eq test. got an 85 (below average). Was disappointed that there was never a choice where I could put my foot up anyone's ass.

Me too, 85. And I'm going to tell your mom you said that thing about putting your foot in someone's butt because it isn't nice and you're always getting away with saying mean things like that!!!! (storms out of room crying, breaks several things on the way...bawling continues in background.)

The incident being that Charles allegedly buggered his servants. It's the crappest secret non-secret we can do in the slow weeks on the island.

Thanks for helping me out with that Vanessa. I am aware of what the scandal is about, but found it humorous that someone could still write a three page article about 'it', that never actually mentions 'it' at all.
