The ways we amuse ourselves

Two questions:

1) What would you do with yourself if stranded at the airport for 10 hours?

2) How big of a laugh do you think airport security got watching this chick?

Is it the hair or the dress?

Oh, Lordy! Elton John told Britain's Sun that Jesus was gay.

Pass the popcorn, the holy wars are about to start.

China's answer to the leash kids.

Yes, he's chained to a pole.

Chained.

To a pole.

Coolest little kid. EVAH!

Is your five-year-old this awesome?

Really, Olympics? Really?

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

Baby, it's cold outside

We may not have snow here in L.A., but that doesn't mean our toes don't freeze.

The Sunset Strip is my home away from home out here in L.A. The New York Times ran a fantastic article this week on Nic Adler, The Roxy and the revitalization of the music scene on the Strip.

Also, I recently discovered a UStream show called The Real Sunset Strip hosted by Lauren Scheff and The Hawk, which is the next best thing to actually being there. Tonight, Mark McGrath, Nylon Pink, Purple Melon (check them out at High Voltage Sunday!), Anyshka, David Faustino (Bud from "Married with Children"), and Lacey from VH1's "Rock of Love" stopped by for a chat.

Check it out Saturday nights from 10PM to midnight.

And, keep up with all these awesome Strip people on Twitter,

God's gift to the computer-bound.
