Dear Delta, this sucks.

Fix it.

Dear Westboro Baptist "Church":

What does it say about your organization when the KKK has the moral high ground?

"It's the soldier that fought and died and gave them that right to free speech," said Dennis LaBonte, the self-described "Imperial Wizard" of the KKK group that he said he formed several years ago.

Who needs a drink?

Desperately Seeking Shoes

Second year of law school has been insane.

I have a week off before finals, so I'm resurrecting the blog with this gem of a video taken at Coachella last weekend (not by me, grumble grumble). Enjoy!

Really, Olympics? Really?

Perhaps we all have dirty minds, but c'mon London. Really?

Introducing...the Utera Maxima

No...really. It can be yours for $48.00.

Friday Round-Up

This has been a week from hell, which is why The Daily Special suddenly was not so daily nor special. So, I bring to you my Friday Round-Up -- a bunch of things I might have posted had I been joyfully assing around in class rather than making my school earn every penny of its outrageous tuition. Enjoy!

• Head over to The Top 13 Albums Project and submit your nominations for the top 13 albums of the decade. I will be posting my list here soon for you all to consider and copy. DEADLINE is October 2!

• I have a naughty habit of going to great lengths to get TinySpecialFriend (she loves little people/midgets, whichever you prefer) to crack up in our Evidence class. The effort came back to bite me in the ass this week when I found this little DIY gadget on the interwebz and we both had our heads on the desks crying with silent laughter, trying not to get caught. It's what you get for the guy who has everything...including foreskin.

• For anyone looking to stock up on unique deadly weapons, I direct you to a list of 7 items you won't believe are actually legal.

• Emails From Crazy People is a great site, but I just came across this gem of a "Not A Stalker" letter, and it reminds me a little of Dimitri, the perfect guy and his phone message. These guys know how to charm a lady.

• This Durex commercial was banned in Europe. I just love the squeaky sound effects.

The Daily Special 9.4.09

Happy Friday, everyone!

• Congratulations to "Paul" who swam from Catalina to Palos Verdes overnight! I admire this guy because I've wanted to get into marathon swimming for a while.

• I'd been seeing this mentioned a lot, so my curiosity took over and I was thoroughly squicked. Uhm...yay for the environment, but no. Just...no.

• Speaking of idiotic products...I now know just what to get that special guy for his birthday.

• Give it up for the Sunset Strip! Who's with me for the StripCrawl on Tuesday night?

• Aaaand, this is what I'll be watching all weekend. Love me some Ari Gold.

The Daily Special 9.3.09

• Some people are just too special for words. I weep for the youth of America.

• And then when they get to college, this is what they pay for. I really shouldn't knock it. I totally would have wasted an elective on the class.

• But, then I would probably have ended up like this guy.

• Or the dude who wasted his herb on a fundraiser.

• I'm really hoping to end up like these women, though. RAWR!

The Daily Special 9.1.09

It's September. How did I miss April?

• My state is still on fire. Prayers and love for the families, friends, and firefighting emergency personnel out there battling the blaze.

• Which annoying type are you? My favourite: "The Bad Grammarian. "So sad about Fara Fauset but Im so gladd its friday yippe". Yes, I know the punctuation rules are different in the digital world. And, no, no one likes a spelling-Nazi schoolmarm. But you sound like a moron."

• The tools of modern justice are the same tools that hold your plumbing together.

• Big pimpin' in aisle 3.

• This kid really loves his bacon.

The Daily Special 8.31.09

OK, gonna try to get back to the daily routine here. Fun tidbits below. Enjoy!

• Since when are English muffins considered junk food? And P.S., taxing breakfast is not going to make me skinny.

• The ultimate recycling: illegal home conversion.

• This is why the terrorists hate us. Ugh...even I hate us after reading that headline.

• Look ma! My internet obsession is actually good for me!

• Who doesn't love a foreign prankster?

No. Just...no.

This news about a Kings of Leon remix album just makes me want to punch babies.

P.S. Follow Paste Magazine on Twitter @PASTEmagazine.

The Daily Special 8.20.09

• I will be at the Franz Ferdinand show, but by all means, don't let my disdain for child molesters stand in the way of you enjoying a free night with Jimmy Kimmel and R Kelly.

• "We're getting married!" Serial scarlet lady finally nabs her man after breaking up his marriage (and 3 others). What a brazen hussy.

• Really, Honda? You didn't think to make your cars tornado-proof? Well, that's just shockingly negligent.

• This guy went backpacking through Europe, and all he got was this stalker-ish harpy of an ex-girlfriend.

• Where's my Emmy?!?!?!

The Daily Special 8.12.09

• Ding DONG! Is your unexpected visitor wearing pants?

• At about 10AM, my neighbour took his domestic dispute to the front lawn and started dropping F-bombs like he was battling SkyNet.

• This is what happens when idiots get funding.

• Speaking of stupid products, weren't we all thinking this when the Snuggie hit the market?

• Even better -- The Snugger.

The Daily Special 8.5.09

• The news of Euna Lee and Laura Ling being released warms my cold, stone heart. Well done, Pres. Clinton, and welcome home!

• I'm really excited these boys are getting the recognition they deserve. I pretty much despise the Twilight fandom and everything that has surrounded this mediocre series, but I love Bobby Long, Marcus Foster, and Sam Bradley's music, so I go see them play any chance I get. In fact, I will be at Hotel Café tomorrow and Friday night for Bobby's and Marcus' shows (respectively).

• I was always a huge fan of Michael Crichton, and his passing was sad, indeed. His website, though, is still up and if you're a fan of his work, I'd suggest you check out some of his essays and speeches on topics ranging from genetics to dating.

• Head on over to Sexy People to see some of the most outrageously gorgeous portraits, ev-ahhh! I challenge you to find my favourite.

• This wild tirade is getting some attention from LAist. Personally, I love LA, and I don't think it can hold a candle to the meanness of Chicago. But people will get their panties in a wad over just about anything -- honking and tailgating, really? Someone gave you the finger? Horrors! What I find most humorous is the fact that his/her only base of comparison is what was surely a tourist experience in NYC. Hey, softy! Get over your break-up baggage and move your ass in that crosswalk, or I'm gonna start scowling in your general direction!
