Since Pownce has devolved into Stacheday, I ask you today's QOTD:

QUESTION OF THE DAY: Who, in your opinion, has the best 'stache? No fakes, please.

!siblog posted a picture of Tom Selleck, and while that is an epic 'stache - my all-time favorite, most impressive 'stache goes to Sam Elliott.

Dear god...the combination of that voice with that massive 'stache. It's epic. He's one cool dude.

So, who gets your vote?

In the spirit of WTF Wednesday* and !dburka's fundraising efforts for Movember (details here: http://pownce.com/dburka/notes/4164751/), I bring you the Great Moustaches of Rock!

There are some great examples of stashitude on there, but how could they forget the non-bearded guy from ZZ Top? David Crosby? Or even Derek Smalls**? They put in a damn Muppet...so why not one of the greatest rock bassists of all time?

Seriously.

-------------------------
* ...it is Wednesday today, right?

** - of Spinal Tap? You mean you didn't know that already? For shame.

My friend Sande mentioned the phrase "picture pages" and I then rocketed back to childhood and Bill Cosby doing his Picture Pages segment on Captain Kangaroo. Also, the introduction song got stuck in my head.

Now, it shall be stuck in yours!

Crap.

Crap.

!dburka just made me realize that I have been thinking it's Wednesday today. It's not. So just take the WTF Wednesday stuff I've been posting and imagine I posted it tomorrow. Yeah. That's it.

*facepalm*

I love Passive Aggressive notes!

More WTF in the news!

"An Oregon woman who is out $400,000 after falling for a well-known Internet scam says she wasn't a sucker or an easy mark."

Um....but you WERE a sucker and an easy mark. The fact that you fell for the Nigerian bank spam and were scammed out of $400,000 proves that fact.

It's a busy week for me as I'm trying to squeeze 5 days of work into 4, so we'll do a quick QOTD.

QUESTION OF THE DAY: What color shirt are you wearing right now?

I'm wearing a sweater that's a light teal blue (approximate color swatch below) and very cozy.

So, what about you?

WTF Wednesday!

WTF Wednesday!

"Goldman Sachs CEO, six leaders give up 2008 bonuses"

Well, I should hope so since the government had to bail your ass out of the toilet and put heavy restrictions on the bailout money specifying that it cannot go towards bonuses or compensation.

So...they're "giving up" bonuses they never could've gotten in the first place. How selfless of them!

Gotta love a song called "Hot Pants, Pt. 1" - only James Brown could pull this one off.

MVM: Supergrass "Pumping on Your Stereo"

I saw a behind the scenes of how this video was made...it was really ingenious how all the effects were done. Only the very last "head flying through the air" part was done with a computer...the rest is all puppeteering.

It's a sleepy Monday and I need a pick-me-up, thus I declare today to be Baby Animal Monday!

In a stunning twist, I am not using kittens. Instead, I'm using baby otters. *squeak*

Either Pownce is broken, I lost all my friends over course of a day or else nobody has posted.

I hope it's just broken. :(

The "How Many US States Can You Name In 10 Minutes" quiz!

The "How Many US States Can You Name In 10 Minutes" quiz!

Took me 5:13 to get all 50 states. Wyoming was eluding me for some reason and it took a number of tries (more than I care to admit) to spell "Massachusetts" right. Stupid Massachusetts.

How fast can you do it? NO CHEATING!
