If I were to imagine the ideal embodiment of "Excitement Machine," it would be this for sure. Via Metafilter.

On the Clear Channel morning zoo today someone joked that they should shower Captain Kangaroo's casket with ping pong balls. Even though I'm a child of the seventies I don't remember CK much. Now I have linked him in my mind to Krusty the Clown, persona-wise. Is that semi-accurate or am I way off?

I have started a new weblog about crafts at dioramarama.com/kmel. I have yet to add any, uhh, visual interest to it, but please visit if you're into that sort of thing.

My dad was in a car accident this weekend. He's OK, which is lucky because he was rear-ended while at a stop (because of another accident) by someone going full speed on a California freeway. His face hit the steering wheel and was pretty messed up, but somehow no bones were broken. He's posting pictures of his recovery on his website, here (warning: totally gross). He's got such a wacky sense of humor. Go dad!

Brawny before and after! Another cool old brand image gets a revamp, and I am sad for reasons that confuse me. This article refers to the old Brawny man "the 70s porn guy"; official timeline of the Brawny Man here. (Thanks Scrubbles)

Daniel cashes in on The Price Is Right. (real video link, via Boing Boing) There used to be site called "The Price Is Right's Greatest Wins!" that appears to be defunct. This would be the king of them all, though.
